It's nearly been a year since I first posted about my struggles with burnout. It's been a difficult year with many different twists and turns - many that I would have never expected - that landed me here. I feel like I have finally been able to take the steps that I've needed to in order to move forward productively in my life and I'm very grateful to get to share this journey with out here!

Learning to live where we are now instead of where we wish we were is one of the hardest lessons in life. But it is also one of the most rewarding. One of the phrases I've found most helpful when coming to terms with my own situation has been: "Acceptance isn't the same as Giving Up". Accepting where I am now doesn't mean I'm giving up on ever being where I want to be it just means embracing the present moment rather than letting it slip by pining over some future that may or may not happen. It's a lesson I have to keep reminding myself of time and time again, but it's worth it.
I have lived as a witch in the forests of Maine my entire life, if I left the rural life I would have no idea what to do with myself so I can fully understand that struggle. I truly hope you find exactly what it is you're looking for and find your peace.
I love that!
I am from Maine! I love this
You are the reason I started making my own herbal remedies. Especially salves! I can’t wait to see where this goes! Remember to focus on you and everything will fall in place! You can’t drink from an empty tea cup! ❤
Anytime I see titles like this I get worried...
I think you're being pushed in this direction and I am so excited to see what will come your way. I wish you all the very best. 💖
Same
I think you will have a ton of support. I will definitely be supporting any online business you do figure out.
I’ve been here for a loooooooong time. I’m way stoked that you’re going back to your herbal business! Your craft is what I love, I know that you’ll find great success Annie!!
I would love to see your sewing, knitting and art projects as part of some of your content.
Dwell onto those "boring" tings with us!!! A lot of us are on similar journeys
I am in such a bad place mentally right now, due to burn out and the feeling that I have no purpose in my life.
I live in a crowded polluted big city, working in a corporation and I feel that I am melting in a perpetual nervous breakdown. I can't seem to find any solutions to get away from all of this, as most of them require money that I simply do not have right now.
I, too, dream of a rural simple life, surrounded by forests, flowers, plants, vegetables, chickens, dogs and cats.
I have been following you since the pandemic, and it has been fantastic to see you grow and share your journey. The fantastic balance of feminine energy you bring to this space is so great. Compassion for the earth and the way you share life are so awesome. I will say that the changes you have made to shifting to 60fps from 24fps have given me a new fondness for the 24fps. 60fps is so hyper real versus 24fps that seems to be softer and more cinematic if that makes sense. Thanks for sharing your journey and creative passion!
I was noticing a difference but couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks!
I have had an herbal and art biz over 40 years now. I began with 20 years of shows then opened my own little shop. I felt the need to teach others and help them with their own paths. I run a couple fb chat groups and we have a yearly conference here in upstate NY. Suppliers of base ingredients & packaging and expert herbslist s come in to teach. This year we are focusing on just what you are up to. :) starting a business. Pricing and packing etc. at any level.
I am happy with my own little eclectic shop Country Artist Botanicals here on my old country hill where I work one on one with my customers now and don’t miss the rat race of big wholesale or set up and breakdown of shows. I also love heading wildcrafting walks and small classes here in my studio. You will find your happy spot. It’s a journey. Mine brought me back to where I began :) good luck! Blessed be!
Your calm, gentle voice is so lovely to listen to. Wishing you lots of love, joy, and a beautiful summer ahead! Greetings from Vancouver!
I remember those early days, I remember seeing your beautiful mural and how inspiring it was. Glad your circling around.
I would support you in anything you do. Because you have brought me so much knowledge to me and my journey.
Your presence makes me happy as a viewer.
Have a good day from London England 🇬🇧
I've had that same dream and realized something similar. I want to talk about this on my channel. Thank you for sharing your journey. YES! lilac! Thank you!
Your hair is coming along Annabelle, it's beautiful. Can't believe it's been a year since you made this lilac perfume! It's amazing how quickly a year goes by. Love your videos and love watching your progress, you are incredibly calming. Sending you big hugs from Glasgow Scotland UK. 🌻🌿🤗🩷🤗🌿🌻
I've been with you on your journey since the early years. I miss your old videos. So beautiful and the music. I am excited for your new journey and to see where you go now. Blessings to you.
An apothecary sounds wonderful and romantic! I used to be obsessed with fragrance oils and always wanted to start my own little shop, maybe someday... but I know they still sell extremely well and organic, small batch scented bath and body products are always in demand and I think something like that would also sell like hotcakes to your followers (me for one!)
I will be really excited to see the shift your new path takes. I do not find all the details boring because I think they are things many of us are also trying to figure out.
Coming from someone who is searching for her purpose and occasionally struggling with it as well, I sincerely hope you find relief and enjoyment in your new focus. We can all only do what is available to us at the time being. If you have any tips or things you have learned how how to become part of a community in a new place I'd love to hear them. I feel like it should be as easy as starting to participating in things ... but for me at least it is not.
I love the idea of merch with your art work on it!! just an idea, but I would love notebooks with your work on the cover. I look forward to your 'new' direction and supporting you those ways!
Thanks for sharing with us Annie, enjoyed your video very much. I can so relate to you with so many ideas for creative business ideas and deciding which to do first. Love all your videos, but please take time to do what you need to do for yourself. We will be here when you decide to make a video or two.
I am so excited for you to open an online store! I can’t wait to buy so much stuff
(I'll be sticking it out because my husband's family is here, but the PNW freeze can feel VERY real, especially when you're coming from rural, "small town" vibe-type places. I'm from Wyoming. :) Thinking of you)
This sounds wonderful...doing things that you are passionate about will in time heal and then make things clear as to where and what one can do😊I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing all your creations😀
Your set up is very beautiful , i love the flowers and the herb bundles 😊
Following your passions will bring you fulfillment. Herbs, medicinals, sewing, knitting, and herbal knowledge sharing are all welcome. Blessings to your new endeavors.
So glad to hear you're excited and enlivened by this shift in perspective.
As someone who is also slowly building an herbal and natural handicraft practice which sells occasionally at markets, I don't find the business talk boring at all! It really is challenging to do this work ethically and sustainably in the context of exploitative, extractive late-stage capitalism. The land and the plants are my first priority, not profit, so I always find it fascinating and engaging to hear how folks of a similar mind are shaping their practice and thinking about their approaches.
from one artsy person to another .... I absolutely drooled over your book of shadows and paper cutting video. you could sell paper cuttings, blank book of shadows with some guidance illustrated in it etc, on etsy. our brains are like the wind, I go from one thing to the next 😂 .... at the moment I'm working on my photography buisness 100% .... and I'm 50, so if you get your sh!t together before that consider yourself fortunate ❤❤❤
I've been ruminating similarly for my art/ways to find myself again, and I think starting small is a great idea. It will grow with time, and I don't know if I was around during that time but I found you pre-covid, somewhere around 2018-2019, and I would love to see your workings again and be able to support them this time!
As someone who lives in Oregon with a similar housing market, I completely feel you. Don't lose hope - I keep one eye out always. The right place will come exactly when it is meant to. I try to keep faith in that as much as I can 😅
Following your heart and being practical about what you can do now will definitely aid in creating the future you dream of....I'm excited for you...there are many people out here who will help to support you...Totally interested in everything you're creating!!! xo
LOVE YOU!!! Thank you for sharing ❤
I'd really love to have a t-shirt from your merch, I already have one by HearthWitch so I might start a little collection :-D
Yes please, me too❤
I feel this so much! Feeling stuck and kind of burn out myself but also exited to make my own small business! l would love videos on this Journey, but I can understand it is to private. :) All in all, I wish you the best for your herbal start up!
Suffering arises when we feel obligated or loyal to "past" or "future" versions of ourSelf, thereby separating us from ourSelf, as we truly are, now. We chose whether or not we honor or align with what was; we can modify our agreements within ourSelf, at anytime. Accepting reality as it is and moving from presence will bring resolve (to focus) and clarity.
Sounds great. Looking forward to all the things you do. Very encouraging for others. Blessings everyone! Big hugs to all who need them.
Thank you for sharing! Wishing you all the best on your new adventure. I would love to support your shop with a little purchase here and there. I have a small business full time and it has its ups and downs, but is worth it in the end. rural living is a dream of mine too! But as an Oregon dweller, it’s not very possible if you don’t have millions of dollars. Thanks for inspiring us with your magic 🍃 ✨
It's only a little, but I hope this helps. Although my situation in life is different, I can sympathize with where you're at in my own ways. Struggling with knowing, focusing on, and achieving what you need to find happiness in the face of the demands and limitations of real life. Realizing you have a lot of inner and outer work to do, and trying to balance the two while not burning out is tough. I want you to know that your videos have been grounding for me ever since I found them. Your honesty and wisdom are appreciated, and I hope you find your path and success - whatever that looks like for you.
You are so incredibly kind, thank you. Your words mean a lot and I cannot express how much I appreciate it
I always enjoy your videos and I am looking forward to what is to come. :)
I'm excited to see and buy your artwork/t-shirts to help launch your business. Your art is gorgeous!
I've been following you since your early days on The Green Witch channel. I hope you find peace returning to your roots in herbalism. I hope it helps you heal and recover.
We live rurally in Snohomish county, only because we got this rental when it was more affordable and we’ve been ‘stuck’ in it ever since. Luckily it’s rural and we have an acre so I can have my gardens, goats and chickens. Anyway, my parents, brother and my little family are going to try and buy land in Skagit county together. We can do it that way, it’s the only way we can. My husband is a home inspector and he does a lot of houses in Seattle. For anyone wondering, it’s nothing for a home in Seattle that is condemned, literally falling apart and unlivable, to sell for well over a million dollars. The housing situation around here is actually appalling and a bit scary.
I know several of my friends that craft and sell use Etsy but I think their fees have gone up a little since the pandemic. Might be worth looking into either way! I've always heard owning your own business is the greatest and most fulfilling thing you can do for yourself so I'll be rooting for you!
I'm not quite through the video, I've got to run off to a doctor's appointment, but if you happen to see this:
My partner and I were able to get a rural cabin and restore it. While it doesn't sound like that is your goal, if you are able to find a property with electricity and water of some sort, plumbing, even toilets, are not difficult. With pointers from someone experienced and TH-cam, I was able to plumb our house.
It is just a thought, whatever your journey is, may it be blessed.
How exciting! Can't wait to see what you come up with. I also live in a big city and am always looking for ways to live a more rural lifestyle. Even if it's just growing a few herbs and knitting.
Also, not to sound shallow after you just shared your heart with us, but… I love your hair! It looks great on you.
Be true to yourself, but don’t just live for yourself. Making the world a better place with your own unique talents, gifts and interests is very fulfilling. When we put all of our gifts together, we can do great things!
You go girl! Also don’t worry about finding a place- the market is insane. I’m trying and I’m probably 2x your age lol! Loved this video!
Super excited to watch your journey. I started learning herbology because of your videos when I found your channel years ago. ❤
Take it slowly and don't put too much pressure on yourself! Things will sort themselves out eventually. You are not boring.
❤
Im excited for this journal, love is the key, always 💞 🤗
It's good to talk about things and get all the bad stuff off your chest. And I hope your dreams come true. have a great week
I thick if you get a blender for your ingredients things would be so much easier for your product line. I wish you all the good things in life. Your video resonated with my own journey making art. Thank You. This is the first time I have made a comment on a channel. Reaching out felt very good.
You talked about a lot of things that you would like to sell. I’m happy for you to have those great ideas and projects. I was thinking that you could start on Etsy. Opening a shop online on Etsy could help you start slowly and help you learn how to manage all of this. ♥️
It's okay to sit and grieve before trying to make the best of things. Sometimes you just can't until you're ready.
I have a crazy suggestion! I'm pretty sure you can afford a rural living but you would have to cross "the pond". I know it's a bigger change than what you are used to but if you want to think about that maybe I can help you, at least to see if it's something to consider.
I've been watching you for a long time and I'm excited to see your new adventures. I'm currently enrolled in a practical herbalist certificate course and I look forward to see what you can teach me along the way ❤
I adored your home in the east when you first started your channel. I wish you could go back there. You seemed so very happy there. I hope you are happy where you are now.
Thank you
Your videos are always amazing and I love following along in your journey ❤❤❤
I can't wait to see how your projects turn out!
Etsy has been a fantastic resource for me (I do a few in person markets a year, but my Etsy shop gets traffic year round, which is great for me because I have a full time day job, so it makes it easier). They have new sections for sustainable and recycled ingredients and such :) I'm sure you would get a ton of traffic!
Also, consider possibly doing more ads & sponsorships :D get your coin, girl.
I would loooove to buy something from you!! Just tell us where to go ❤
I like the original place so beautiful 😅
I love this, I'm so excited for you on this new journey with herbs🌱💚
Honestly saying, if you'd write a herbalism book, I would would rush to buy immediately. Same with any herbalism course if you've ever thought of that. Even in skillshare, I'd take your course straight away. Keep going!
Wishing you the best of luck for the future.
Funny thing about geography: wherever you go, there you are.
I am happy for you, and wish you luck with your business :D In Sweden it it is illegal to "just" make herbproducts and sell (up to 2 yrs in prison), you have to do a lot of laboratory testing for every single product that costs very much and then register every single one with a fee for every one and another fee early. The big pill companies do not want to have competition with natural remediesI guess.😡
I would love to buy your merch ❤
If you do sell online, let me know!! I would never be able to meet you in person at markets for your wares, but now I can access the next best thing.
If you do eventually open an online "market", know you already have a prospective customer. ❤
I can give the best advice I can, life is chaos and order. As a Norse Pagan studying Galdr, Runes but interpretation through sigils, emblems, and even one could call coded encryption along with Sacred Geometry.
Then yes I am studying herbalism, the primal instinct/frenzy or Od. Basically think heightened feral senses and reacting. Animism etc, etc.
Annabel I can understand what it is like being alone, finding those that share a similar path as I do, researching material rather both scholarly, historical, and maybe controversial. And yes it can be overwhelming.
The hunters instinct, the hunters perception, the tactical and probability analysis mind? Yes this might not seem like the normal pagan thought, but philosophy, metaphysics, theology, maybe a bit of herbalism, alchemy, yadda, yadda, yadda. Its overwhelming, and don't get me started on politics and perception of faith. Sometimes you just wonder are people serious in what they practice, or playing cosplay and honeyed words for attention.
✌️and❤️ for you don't give up.
;) Something I realized a few years back after a very big change and moved in my life was that for myself it is or seems to be impossible to find my purpose when although in my home I feel at home as soon as I walk out my door I dont feel at home if that makes sense and like you every thing is extremely expensive on the west coast I live in Canada so it may be a little different then the west coast of the UIS but still I have to live in cheap housing which means the majority of people that live here have issues and that energy is all around my suit its a sort of catch 22 I could maybe afford to move int oa different place but not pay some of my bills so am pretty sure I understand what you are saying and going through , when I first move d in I couldnt figure out why I felt stuck even though every thing was telling me the answer I wasnt quit listening lol so I have been doing what you are saying working with what I have adjusting being like water and adapting to all shapes sizes and things.
I have been watching your vids off and on I think since 2018 2019 some where around there, then my account got hacked had to make a new one becasue was kicked from youtube totally long and different subject
I think the big difference between you and me is that your a content person as well so you also may feel pressured to have to do things that you think\feel other people want you to do ( I am speaking of content you tube and probably Patreon) that creates pressure and can cloud things . I really like your content but if it is draining and possibly confusing always remember to not do what I have seen many other youtubers do keep pushing then lose themselves worrying more about what follwers want instead of doing what they want and then attracting the like minded .
I have always wanted to be a Herbalist but it never happened for reasons I wont get into. Being more of a visual learner I like to be around the person I am learning from feeling sensing something off of them and if they are into it it feels better then taking something on line that has for me no energy or emotion well except older books that have texture and smells and energy if they have been used before, its hard to explain.}
I guess the closest thing is like when walking through trees with know one around there is a feeling an energy that comes with that, the wisdom of the old trees the breeze tickling the skin, the water laughing the tree branches also laughing dancing, the bugs buzzing around all the birds and animals doing there thing maybe checking you out trying to see what type of person you are before they carry on with their day ok i got lost there in my trees and nature thoughts and will stop.
the very last part of this video it stopped with you looking off to your left like someone just walked in the door lol
I’m one of the original followers, I’ve watched the changes and watched you fight the universe which has a plan! You are lacking in confidence and I wonder what your manifesting beliefs are.. stop thinking about it and just do it if you want it to happen make it happen.. get out of your own way. Xx meant with love and light ✨
If you haven't, concider funding via crowd funding, please do so. You have a big community who love your work and I can imagine, that crowd funding will get you, where you want to be with your shop a lot easier and faster than starting off with selling t-shirts, when you actually want to sell herbalism items.
I will buy my herbs from you regularly.
first i want to explain why this human being is directly related to the bedbugs... I am really very low profile in the shelter, i barely talk to anybody.... but just this last two day, suddenly there was a very tomboyish person came on strong to me, she was very loud and rude, but i tried to be polite and not to raise the issue, but somehow i just happened to bump into her/him, i don't know the gender because the bedbug didn't reveal, but i suspect it is yang gender, i don't care about the physical gender, it is the soul gender that really matters..anyway, last night the shelter had a water leak and that person was there again, i just cleaned up but today when i just opened the gate, that same person was right there to curse me and i just had enough, don't you play such nasty rude rick with me.... and i let that person know.... and my fight back really started a tsunami of spiritual/telepathy conversation that leads me to realize that that person who bent on harassing me is exactly that bedbug... i had no grudge with any person in the shelter and the only thing I did was eliminating the bed bugs, and i have done a very good job, i killed big and small 1,600 bedbugs... i had a note to keep track every one i finished... and i was thinking going 2,000 strong if it can finish the bedbug war... but i guess this bedbug soul just had enough and it turns into a human being, because that person just showed up two days ago.... and the connection and revelation can not be more direct
i am so confused. you were in the west but i thought you moved back east? i live in or and have to move because of the cost of living here. good luck wherever you are.
Yes, Oregon is so expensive. My husband and I still can't move out of my parents' house even though we've been saving for a decade. It's very discouraging because I honestly can't imagine living anywhere else. My heart is here.
There is a young Woman who moved to our area and opened a shop called
Blessed Be Tea.
She sells many Green Witch items she creates.
Many classes and other community events.
Her business has become very successful and our area is very tourist driven here in Northern Michigan.
The point is she followed her dreams and succeeded.
You will find your path, try not to overthink what you want but follow your heart.
You got this !!🙂♥️
I completey agree. Relax, you got this! Your beauty is extraordinary ~
Thank you! This helped me.
Speaking from my own artist's soul and experience, the "creative" person can be besieged by a constant stream of ideas screaming for manifestation and/or things they want to learn (or at least try once), while at the same time are burdened with thinking they never do enough or don't do things as well as they could have done. These mental battles can certainly add to burnout. That said, I feel that burnout has a great deal to do with unprocessed or even unrecognized grief. Grief over something lost, such as a sense of community, a cherished home, a beloved animal companion, or anything else that leaves an internal ache or emptiness. It can even be grief over something that a person wasn't particularly fond of, like a messy divorce or getting fired from a job. A loss is a loss, and grief is a natural reaction to loss. Unprocessed grief -- or even going through the grieving process in general -- can leave us unbalanced, fatigued, foggy-minded, and frustrated. Anyway, just offering some food for thought to anyone struggling to find their "life purpose".
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, profound actually.
Thank you for sharing this, very thought provoking and beautifully put ☺️
🩷💛🧡
Well said
Thank you, Victoria Hart. Beautifully written. I needed this reminder. Grief, unprocessed grief and that "internal ache or emptiness", so real. Wisdom pearls for the journey.
I'm so pleased that you've found something to ignite passion for you again. :) Burnout isn't something to take lightly; you have to heal your head and heart or you'll eventually break apart completely and not be able to do ANYTHING. I came very close to that point (with autistic burnout) and spent almost 6mos barely functioning while caring for the household and four kids. I'm finally coming out of the dark bit by bit, but I know that I'm still tender; the broken bits are mended, but not yet solid. So I'm trying to be gentle with myself. Don't forget to be gentle with YOURSELF, too.
My 5 years living alone had taught to me that even though I'm an introvert snd enjoy my time alone... There's something that I need, and it's real and honest human relations, namely family, partner and friends.
Yes. I understand that.
Yes to this comment ❤ I feel the same
Makes sense, humans are social creatures after all. Making genuine connections and strong bonds with others is simply one aspect of living a healthy, fulfilling human life.
I know this is not something you want to hear, maybe you should head back east. I've lived in Colorado and also built a house out here. I've been here for 15 years and guess what? I am selling my home here and i am moving east next week. I have loved the west, but it isn't what it was when i got here. It's not affordable anymore. It doesn't bring me the joy it once brought. I am picking up my entire household 3 kids my husband my kids uncle and 3 cats and our dog and we are moving east. If i can do it anyone can.
I moved to Florida, to be closer to my aging parents, from my home in rural upstate NY. I’ve been in Florida (which has become just awful) for 9 years and I spend a lot of time thinking about when/how I can leave. I miss the mountains and the woods and the seasons and the streams. I feel so disconnected from nature down here, so I totally get what you are saying. I’ve gone to great lengths to try to make my backyard a place of nature to make the best of it while I’m here. But I still cannot wait to leave. Nothing but good vibes on the new venture. ❤
I see no set purpose in life and I think that is a very liberating concept.
Hi Annie have you considered creating instructional videos/ courses to talk about herbalism that you have expertise in and putting them up on sites like udemy? It would give you a level of passive income that could be quite successful with you videography capabilities. Good luck 😊
That and skill share…have them sponsor you too❤️
This is a great idea. I'd absolutely wanna do a herbalism course!
The housing market is building up another bubble. In time that bubble (like all of them) will burst. Then there will be many bargains on the market. Besides location, timing is important when buying property.
I'm hoping for that as well for the same reasons.
@@beautyindarkness the only hitch is that certain entities have been buying up property even paying above market value. Either that will speed up the bubble bursting or it will lock up many properties as they wait for the market to recover. That could take a while.
Please take us along. This is the direction I am headed myself. You are the inspiration. I've been studying herbalism for 2 years as of Ostara.
Been following you from Virginia to the West. Will continue to follow you on your journey and sending you love, hugs, and prayers every step of the way🤗❤
All the best for your project
I’m glad you found a purpose with your herbalism. I am wanting to learn more about using plants medicinally and magically.
I appreciate your reflection. I’d be so happy to support your business and receive beautiful, nourishing gifts in return. By the way, you look so glowy and healthy. Your hair is getting longer, too!
Much appreciation for your insight. I hadn't realised I'm feeling burnout! I too live in a place I don't really want to be, and also housing here in Uk is a nightmare. I'm self employed and haven't had a holiday for 11 years. Lots to think about! Wishing you much luck with your lovely plans 🙏
I would live to craft a perfume with irises, that is my favorite smell.
You're many things but boring isnt one. As like many others, i struggle with finding purpose as well. And its inspiring to see willingness to share that journey from someone that i find inspiration from. 😊
Oh how I wish we could have a cup of tea and chat about running an herb biz. There's so much to consider: practioner or product maker, teacher, etc. Every state has different laws about selling products. Here in Massachusetts it's very strict, not like Vermont where you can do it easier. I love teaching so get asked to lead herb walks, classes, lectures, etc. It's my passion to empower people to make their own remedies. You'll find the path that's right for you.
I wondered if you thought of moving more inland in WA? The Palouse area in eastern WA has many small towns here with cute rural homes that are very affordable. That’s why we moved out here. My little rural home was built in 1884 and we absolutely love it and started growing cut flowers and herbs. I’ve been watching your videos for years before you moved and I always think you’d really love it out here. It’s definitely a process to find what feels right to you. I’m so excited to see what you do next!
Buying a house in your twenties these days is nearly impossible. Every time I find something in a reasonable price range it has major structural damage or requires tens of thousands of dollars in renovation. I’ve also had to pivot my priorities away from homeownership and it’s difficult but finding a new focus is crucial. Wishing you luck with your new business ❤️
I went from a San Francisco hipster to an off-grid wild child in the Mountains. I had no problem with composting toilets made from 5-gallon buckets or well water or solar-based electricity (PGE often shuts off electricity in rural areas). Raw lands are much more affordable and much easier to come by. And these primitive ways of living make me feel closer to Mama Earth. I recently did a vision quest for 4 days and 4 nights without eating or drinking, and I will never forget how thirsty I was and grateful for the lessons Mama Earth taught me in the wilderness.
I've been watching your channels a lot longer than I'd realized! I remember your herbal business! And I'm so excited to see what you do with that! Much love! ❤
You have so many gift and it’s always fun to see why you share. I remember some years ago your book of recipes and the lovely script and illustrations…I hope you share more of your art. One of your gifts is teaching so perhaps you might consider an herbal concoction class❤️
This is such a meaningful update as I am going through the same burnout/soul-search situation. Do you use any spellcraft to aid you in your soul-search?
