Empty Cauldrons. How to Cope with Depression through Magic and Ritual

Nowadays, depression is well-studied, and with the help of a good specialist, it is easy to find a solution to the problem. However, not everyone is ready to acknowledge the presence of this ailment even to themselves, let alone start discussing it with a psychotherapist or even a friend. Many start to avoid society altogether, seeking solitude, which can cause the depressive state to progress even further.
The first step towards healing can be found in Terence P. Ward's book "Empty Cauldrons". The author sheds light on the spiritual side of depression, presenting the perspective of magicians, neo-pagans, and witches on this issue. He is convinced that working on a spiritual level opens up new ways to combat it. With the practices and rituals presented in the book, you will be able to connect with your deep emotions, stop being ashamed of them, and begin the journey to healing.
"Pagans respect and value science and the scientific method, but we want - and must - to include working with our own spirit in the healing process. We, including myself, are convinced that a holistic approach is necessary for everyone suffering from depression, one that unites different parts of the human personality. Only by engaging the whole person, all their dimensions, in the healing process can we become whole and healthy again."
