I don't care about "normal" things anymore and cannot relate to society

Iam having a hard time relating to normal people. Or caring about my job. This path has changed me so dramatically, I find it hard to even go to work because I just don’t care about stupid paperwork , or ppls dunkin donuts stories. Seriously who cares… What now? Does anyone have experience with this?

It’s not an uncommon issue among people on this, or similar paths. Even though I generally think it’s best to live with magick in our every day, day-to-day lives, there comes a point when we must have some sort of disconnect in order to function properly in our mundane lives. We have to work and make a living, and have some kind of socialism. How much so depends on our own views and personal requirements.
This doesn’t mean you have to completely immerse yourself in the mundane, being bff’s with people from work, going bowling ever week with normies, etc. But we do need to have some sort of involvement with the normal physical world, as it is a large part of humanity and how our society is built.

This path changes you but remember, you need to eat and fulfill other needs. Socializing is a good thing too because it helps keep you sane.

I recommend taking up a Sport, Marital Art or going to the gym. Perhaps even learn to do Art or Music.

My opinion? Take up a manual craft or hobby, or dig gardens, or do something else very grounded and physical, that has a very clearly defined “this is finished, I have succeeded” point to it.

Otherwise you may end up lost in your own head, and lose all orientation.

Modern people cannot help being shallow assholes, it’s all they’re raised to be. Everyone yearns for something a bit more authentic deep down inside.

I find myself having the same issue. So far what I’ve found to work the best is also having other interests besides black magick, things to ground me in the world. Also reframing what I do in a more purposeful light: how does what I do make a difference? But TBH I’m still struggling a bit with it.

Don’t worry. Those feelings and thoughts are part of the process of evolution. I had them too in a certain point of my life where “common people” and “common life” felt boring and dull.
It all goes down to personal experience, but what I found out afterwards is that it was necessary for me to have a mask, to pretend to have a normal life with normal activities while in reality other activities where happening “in the shadows”. It was important for me too choose “common” activities that improved myself and my magickal practice. An example of this can be going to the gym so that you feel stronger, starting a business so that you can earn more money to buy or make materials for your magickal practices. See what works best for you and your goals.
With the situation in your work, it could mean that maybe you are tired and deep inside of you you want to move forward, start something new. What are your ambitions? What do you desire? What is the life you want to create your yourself and others? Answer this questions first and don’t be afraid to make mistakes because they make you stronger.

I get this. Some time ago i did a ritual to become a faerie. I feel like i dont belong here anymore. I cant relate to others. So i made a mask and put it on.

It’s called the Goetia Guide and it helps people find a spirit to work with using keywords. It also has a random button for the spirit to manipulate and bring itself up. Belial likes that button haha . Thanks appreciate it.

Once, it’s out I’ll take a peak at it and maybe add it to my occult app collection. Only if it’s good though.

It takes learning how to compartmentalize. You say, here in this drawer of my life is my mundane…home, family, friends, hobbies…anything normy.
And here in this drawer of my life is my goddess side, temple, the god family, friends, and workings of a non-mundane nature.

And I keep it VERY SEPARATE. Time to time, the one might encroach on the other from the effects, but I work through it when that happens. And, there are times I call for interference from my non-mundane side to affect the mundane if urgent.
