I know a lot of you are still pretty new to your path and many of you are just starting to try out working with your own rituals and spells. One question I get pretty frequently is about energy after doing this type of work.
Any time you work with magick, you are raising energy to do your will. Almost all of us are sensitive to energy on a normal basis, so when we work with magick and raise that energy vibration up to work with, you will feel it. If you are working in a group you will notice it even more. This can feel different to all of us depending on how you sense things. Some common sensations are numbness or tingling in finger tips, you may feel light-headed or dizzy, your heart may start racing, palms may get sweaty, some actually have the sensation of altered breathing. If any of these things happen the important thing is not to panic. It’s normal. While you may feel like things are getting a little crazy, they in fact aren’t. Not only are you raising the energy, but by doing this type of work you are wide open and you can sense the energy even more than usual.
I can’t stress enough how important it is to ground and center after any type of magickal work, regardless of if you think you have excess energy. If you felt it, it will help to cease the sensations and return you to feeling normal. If you don’t feel it, it’s equally important as you may not notice the extra energy you are carrying but it may manifest it’s self and cause something later on. A rule of thumb I try to go by is after any full ritual or group work I will ground and center but also have a small meal and at least a bottle of water. Food and water will also help you to ground.
I have worked in large groups before and my energy has been off up to an hour later even after grounding, shielding and eating. Don’t worry if this happens to you. It will return back to normal with time. Just keep on drinking water, relax, and know that it’s perfectly normal. In most cases as soon as you ground and center you will be fine.
I hope this helps.
Much Love and Many Blessings,

Thanks Ps love this website!
Sweet Lady – I love your work – I do get the Daily Moonsong – but I feel I must point out a spelling error you have made more than once – in the article above you used the word “dapple” – something that is “dappled” is something with spots – such as a horse (the dappled grey mare)….the word you were looking for is “dabbled” – to dabble in something is to try it out, like a hobby, for one example. Hope this helps for any future need of it…and regarding the topic itself – I completely agree with you! Energy is amazing, and should be treated with respect – grounding after ritual/spellwork is so important! (Reiki energy is much the same…) Thanks for all your hard work!
Blessings to you

Merry Meet sweetie! I can’t believe that I missed that and I thank you for pointing it out! It’s one of those words that I’ve had since I was little. Clearly I heard it wrong when I picked it up and no one has ever corrected me on it so thank you! <3 Much Love and Many Blessings to you.
Whew! I am glad you are not upset at the correction…sometimes people get their feelings hurt from stuff like that…so I am relieved that I did not offend you! Hugs and blessings!
Not at all! I just found it funny that I’ve been using it that way for so many years. 🙂 Funny how some words stay with you. <3 Many Blessings to you as well.
