I am so sorry I haven't checked in all week! I do so hope to see more of you here (as you see less of you there, hehe!)! So how did you find us? very glad you did.
It is not at all silly what you are requesting...and further, a very wise attitude for you to consider you will always be a wiccan in training. After all, who of us ever knows it all?! I sort of feel that when we stop learning and growing, we are not fully alive. Honestly, I think that this site is lacking in the magickal side of weightloss. I have spent a lot of time uploading the practical and the informative in regards to nutrition, etc. But it is a whole encompassing thing....not at all about one single aspect or approach. i think that everything affects how our bodies end up in the physical realm....our spiritual, emotional, relationships, surroundings, thoughts/mental, what we see and hear, and of course what we do with our bodies. The magickal ties all of these things together and brings some of the more etherial and hard to pin down aspects into the physical realm. I do have spells to share. I guess i didn't want the site to be seen as a cop out by any newbies in the craft that they might think they could just do a spell and not change all the other things.
The concept of a bath is an excellent place to start with magickal work in this area. You could use fragrances or oils that had to do with releasing or relaxing/serenity or energizing/invigorating or with empowerment....lots of options. It all depends on what you think your primary issues are. For example, I have huge issues with emotional eating...and usually it is about anxiety. So, for me, focusing on the relaxing, releasing, calming aspects would be appropriate most times. But there are some times when I have felt that I was really powerless or hopeless and then I might want to go after empowering energies. Tell me where you want to start and I will give you some suggestions for essences for those focuses.
Using the whole bath thing....one could visualize all your problems/issues with weightloss going into the water and being washed away. In reverse, you could visualize the water infusing you with power to overcome, etc. It is easiest to start with one focus at a time than to try doing several at once.
By way of encouragement for you....I have lost just over 80 lbs and still have 10 to 15 more to go. So you don't have as far to go as i have had! If you are younger than me you will likely have less trouble also...it has been really slow going for me. But the bottom line is not to quit no matter what. You will have ups and downs. Always before, in previous attempts, I would quit when it got tough or I slipped up. This time i just kept getting back to it, over and over, and plugging away. My biggest magickal effort has been visulaization....very specific, very intense visualization. I write down everything I eat....what clothes i want to fit into, what events are coming up that i want to be in good shape for...I write descriptions of what i will be able to do when slim and healthy, such as rollerskating or bike-riding with my kids....dancing with my husband....all sorts of things. The essence of magick is in making what you want to be come into reality by stating and seeing that it already IS. Then acting accordingly. So I asked myself if I was handed a slim, in-shape body what would i do to take care of it and keep it that way? the every day i try to see myself that way and act as if I was already that physical person. So here I am....80+ lbs less and physically closer to the wish being reality every day. See yourself as you wish to be...see it really really clearly, and specifically. It will BE.
love and light,
Dreemy
