Thread: Hi!! I need some suggestions...

Hey! I used to practise my magick and my witchcraft almost everyday but recently a lot of things have been happening (my grandfather died..) so I didn't have the time to practise. I almost think I've lost my ability to see auras and I feel like I don't have a drop of energy in me.
So I need you to suggest some simple spells and rituals to perform so I can slowly gain my power again!

Sounds like you need to take a time out. Physically, emotionally, whatever. You need to deal with the grief of losing your grandfather, and once that grief is dealt with, your abilities will return. Your body and your spirit are telling you that you need to chill.

I am past grief state now. It wasn't hard to deal with it anyway. Mostly because I wasn't close to my grandfather and because I know that death is part of life. So I willneed something more practical than what icetalon suggests.

Have you ever done exercises to enhance your senses? There are some meditations that can assist you in finding your dominamt sense and to enhance what you already have. I have some suggestions but they are taken from a beginner high magick book. If you are interested let me know.

Using your energy will not help you replenish it nor strengthen it, so I strongly advise against doing any spells or magick until you are up to par. You can't send out what you don't have. So, rather, why don't you focus on your relationship with your Gods? Their presence in your life will grant you strength, aid in you in getting back up to where you need to be. Perhaps do some simple energy work, like aligning your chakras and manipulating energy up and down your channel.

Here's one excercise:

Once your chakras are balanced, focus on the energy of the Earth entering in through your Root moving up through your chakras (through your channel) then move the energy out through your Crown. Do this a few times till the energy flows effortlessly. Now, pull the energy of the cosmos (Universal Energy: the energy of the Divine) in through your Crown, moving it down through your channel and out your Root. Do this the same number of times as you moved the energy up. Now, pull the energy up through your Root and down through your Crown at the same time. The energies will meet in the middle and spiral around eachother, continuing on their course.

This excercise is energizing, helps to heal and strengthen one's abilities, it also aids in communing with the Divine. It can be used as a precursor to all magickal acitivities and rituals, or as part of ritual attunement.

Namaste,
Damianna

Yeah that would be a good help. Thank you.

Sometimes due to environmental stressors or even sickness you may find that specific psychic abilities are diminished. This is due to being stressed out, tired, sick, etc. That is normal, it doesn't mean that they are no longer available to you, only that your body and mind are exhausted. This is why in historical texts you find that magic users would always have to rest, and that magic takes a physical toll on your body. The reason is because most of us use our internal energy rather than tapping into the Free Energy of the Multiverse. As we get more evolved in practicing we learn how to use the natural energy that is available to us instead of tapping into our own personal reserves. All things in the Universe at a quantum level are composed of energy, energy is all around us. Our senses try to make sense of this matrix of energy and give form and substance to objects, to help us discern our day to day, but in actuality everything is composed of energy.

Damianna gave a good example of pulling energy from a larger power source than yourself through the earth grounding ritual. Using a larger source like the Earthmother also helps to recalibrate your energy signature especially if one of your shields has been wounded (emotional/intellectual/physical/spiritual). Since you said you recently suffered a death perhaps it has affected you more than you think it has, at maybe a subconscious level. So these posts that advise you to rest are right on target.

When I am feeling out of whack and need to rest I seek out an old large tree. The energy matrix of old (100 or so years) trees is great to recalibrate your system. Make sure you go to a location where no one else will bother you, or there are no noisy or electromagnetic interferences. Anything that has electricity in it has a magnetic field associated with it, these field interact with our own personal bioelectric field and disrupt it. By putting your back to an old tree you can meditate yourself in sync with the tree and recalibrate your personal energy signature, thereby syncing up your chakras, and aligning your own field of energy. Usually this exercise takes a few hours of uninterrupted meditation against a tree. I usually light some incense as well and simply allow the Wind to wash away any unnecessary chaotic vibrations.

hope this helps,

I knew I wasn't high in the night. :P

Thanks Jayne! This is exactly what I am going to do.Since I live in Athens it is hard to find a quite place with trees that why I am going to my fathers village to take a vacation. Te place is very quite and it is also build into the woods so there is a lot of energy. I am so tired of the everyday routine and I feel so weak with all those thing going around me lately..

WEll that sounds like a great idea Bethany. Spend as much time as possible walking around in the most rural of locations you can find also helps. It is being immersed in the vibration of the natural spaces that restores us the best. But being also another city dweller, New York City, I understand how difficult it is to find sacred spaces to recharge. If you have enough space you can create a small water fountain garden on a balcony or even in your apartment. The action of running water in your home in the form of a fountain or waterfall is a boon if you can put it near your altar space. It will help you to meditate indoors and breaks down negative EMF in your apartment. Plants especially palms and other large plants will also help the vibe in the apartment.

Hope this helps,
JB
