As I sit with my morning coffee—a luxury that may soon become more precious—I’m feeling the collective anxiety rippling through the energetic field. The news speaks of shortages, supply chain disruptions, and economic uncertainty. But as a witch who has lived through many cycles of feast and famine, I know there’s a deeper spiritual teaching unfolding here.
The Great Tightening: Reading the Signs
The energetic signatures are unmistakable. Egg shortages continue as bird flu persists, food prices are expected to rise nearly 5% in 2025, and tariffs are adding an average tax burden of over $1,000 per household. The material world is reflecting what many of us have been sensing in our bones—we’re entering a time of contraction, a cosmic inhale before the next great expansion.
But here’s what the mainstream narrative misses: scarcity is not just an economic phenomenon. It’s a spiritual initiation.
The Alchemy of Contraction
When I cast my intuitive gaze over the current landscape, I see the sacred feminine principle of contraction at work. Just as the womb contracts to birth new life, our systems are contracting to birth a new way of being in relationship with resources, with each other, and with the Earth herself.
The Supply Chain as Nervous System: More than 76% of European shippers experienced supply chain disruptions in 2024, and the ripple effects are global. But what if these disruptions aren’t failures—what if they’re the planet’s nervous system responding to decades of extraction and overconsumption? The supply chain breakdowns are forcing us to relocalize, to rebuild resilience, to remember skills our grandmothers took for granted.
Tariffs as Boundaries: The 10% tariff on all countries implemented in April 2025 might seem like economic warfare, but energetically, it represents the shadow side of healthy boundary-setting. When we’ve been in codependent relationships with cheap labor and environmental destruction, sometimes the pendulum swings hard toward isolation before finding balance.
Food Restrictions as Sacred Discernment: The increasing regulations and bans on certain foods in our country aren’t just about politics—they’re forcing us to confront our relationship with nourishment. What we put into our bodies is sacred. These restrictions are asking us to become more conscious about what we consume, both literally and metaphorically.
The Scarcity Spell: Breaking the Enchantment
Here’s the mystical truth that the fear-based news won’t tell you: scarcity is often a spell, and spells can be broken.
The collective unconscious has been programmed for centuries with scarcity consciousness. “There’s not enough to go around.” “You have to hoard to survive.” “Competition is natural.” These beliefs create the very conditions they claim to describe.
But as conscious practitioners, we know that external reality reflects internal consciousness. The resource “shortages” we’re experiencing are mirrors of our spiritual disconnection from the abundance that is our birthright.
The Deeper Teachings of Deprivation
Every spiritual tradition has teachings about fasting, about voluntary simplicity, about finding abundance in limitation. What we’re experiencing collectively right now is an involuntary initiation into these ancient wisdom teachings.
The Teaching of Enough: When 30% of food is lost or wasted annually globally, the “shortage” isn’t about lack—it’s about distribution and gratitude. The Earth provides enough for everyone’s need, but not everyone’s greed, as Gandhi taught us.
The Teaching of Interdependence: Supply chain disruptions are revealing how interconnected we truly are. The spell of individualism is breaking down, forcing us to remember that we are part of a web of relationships that extends far beyond our personal bubble.
The Teaching of Resilience: Geopolitical tensions and climate-related disruptions are creating supply chain challenges, but they’re also creating opportunities for innovation, community-building, and the rediscovery of local resources.
Sacred Practices for Resource Resilience
As witches and conscious beings, we can work with these energies rather than against them. Here are some practices I’m incorporating into my own life:
Gratitude Rituals for Abundance: Before every meal, I spend a moment in gratitude for the journey each ingredient took to reach my plate. I thank the soil, the farmers, the truckers, the store clerks. This practice shifts my consciousness from scarcity to abundance, from taking to receiving.
Resource Blessing Ceremonies: I’ve started blessing my pantry, my water, my fuel tank. I’m treating these material resources as sacred allies rather than commodities. This energetic shift has a practical effect—I waste less, I’m more creative with what I have, and I find I need less overall.
Community Weaving Magic: I’m actively strengthening my local networks. Skill-sharing circles, community gardens, local buying groups. The global supply chain may be fragile, but the local web of relationships is anti-fragile—it gets stronger under pressure.
Simplicity Spells: I’m practicing voluntary simplicity as a form of resistance to the scarcity spell. When I need less, I fear less. When I can find joy in simple pleasures, external circumstances have less power over my inner state.
The Initiation of Enough
What’s happening globally right now is a massive initiation into the consciousness of “enough.” We’re being asked to distinguish between wants and needs, between security and hoarding, between reasonable preparation and fear-based stockpiling.
This is not a call to spiritual bypassing or passive acceptance of injustice. The people creating artificial scarcity through speculation and manipulation need to be held accountable. But our personal spiritual work is to not let their dysfunction infect our consciousness.
The Abundance That Cannot Be Hoarded
Here’s what I’m seeing in the energy: beneath all the material disruption, there’s an abundance that can’t be touched by supply chain issues or tariffs. The abundance of creativity, of connection, of love, of wisdom, of presence.
While economists project GDP reductions and wage decreases, they can’t measure the value of a community coming together, of skills being shared, of people rediscovering their resourcefulness. They can’t quantify the wealth of a garden grown with love, or the richness of a meal shared with neighbors.
The New Earth Economy
In the cracks created by the old system’s dysfunction, I can see the new economy trying to emerge. It’s an economy based on:
- Gift and reciprocity rather than exploitation
- Regeneration rather than extraction
- Sufficiency rather than endless growth
- Community resilience rather than individual accumulation
- Sacred relationship rather than commodification
This new economy isn’t waiting for government approval or corporate buy-in. It’s emerging wherever people are choosing cooperation over competition, generosity over hoarding, and long-term thinking over short-term profit.
Practical Magic for Uncertain Times
As we navigate these resource challenges, here are some practices that blend practical preparation with spiritual wisdom:
The Full Moon Inventory: Once a month, take stock of what you have with gratitude. Notice where you have abundance and where you might need to adjust. This prevents both waste and panic.
The New Moon Intention: Set monthly intentions around your relationship with resources. How can you be more grateful? More generous? More creative? More connected to your local community?
The Sabbath of Stuff: Choose one day a week to buy nothing. Use what you have. Practice contentment. This breaks the spell of constant consumption.
The Blessing of Broken Systems: When you encounter a supply chain disruption or price increase, practice blessing it as a teacher. What is it here to teach you? How is it inviting you to grow?
The Prophecy of Plenty
Here’s what I’m seeing in the energy of the future: this time of contraction is preparing us for a new kind of abundance. Not the abundance of endless stuff, but the abundance of right relationship—with the Earth, with each other, with our own needs and desires.
The resource challenges we’re facing are like a cosmic Marie Kondo session. They’re asking us: Does this spark joy? Does this serve life? Does this reflect our highest values? Everything that doesn’t serve is being composted to fertilize what does.
The Witch’s Perspective on Wealth
Real wealth, from a magical perspective, isn’t about accumulation—it’s about circulation. It’s about being a conduit for the abundance of the universe rather than a dam that stops the flow.
The global economy is learning this lesson the hard way. The systems that have been based on hoarding and extraction are breaking down. The systems that will thrive are those based on reciprocity and regeneration.
As I close this meditation on scarcity and abundance, I’m reminded of my grandmother’s wisdom: “The best way to have enough is to share what you have.” In times of resource challenges, our magic isn’t in accumulating more—it’s in circulating what we have with more consciousness, more gratitude, and more love.
The scarcity spell is breaking. The abundance consciousness is rising. And we are the midwives of this transformation.
Blessed be the lesson of enough. Blessed be the wisdom of simplicity. Blessed be the abundance that flows through us when we remember we are not separate from the source.
