honestly? you're not alone. I went through this phase where I felt guilty if I didn't do my full moon ritual and I was like wait why does my spiritual practice feel like homework

I scaled way back and it actually feels more meaningful now

From a historical perspective, most traditional spiritual practices were done seasonally or during significant life transitions - not daily. The idea that you need constant ritual upkeep is actually quite modern and partly shaped by how these practices get marketed online.

The question you're asking - 'why am I doing this?' - is honestly the most important question in any spiritual practice. Ritual without intention is just... habit.

That said, there's real value in consistency for some people. It creates a container for intention. The key is knowing which category you're in.
