Witchy Self Care
After a few spells, astral visits, and offerings, your body begins feeling drained. Energy needs replenished, your mind needs time to recollect its lost processes. Magick can be a tiring thing to do, and it can really damage you physically and mentally. Without the right protection, the right amount of rest, the right amount of food, your intent could go spiraling from a clear mind to a foggy future.
Self care is important, for before and after anything that deals with a large amoutn of energy and magick.
~Spells and Rituals~
Even the tiniest of rituals and spells could lead to a huge depletion of energy or serious harm.
~Before~
-Cast necesarry protection spells
-Make sure you are hydrated and well fed
-Do not be mixed up in intentions
-Make sure you are focused and not dozing off
-PLEASE. DONT. BE. TIRED.
-Have a plan
-Do not have anxiety or be in a huge depressed state (unless the spell is to relieve these states, in which that case, do not feel at your worse)
~After~
-Thanks any Dieties
-Make sure you are hydrated and well fed
-Take a nap
-Ground/Center yourself
-Go for a walk
-Lie down in the grass
-Do something you love dearly (listen to music, play an instrument, video games, paint, draw, etc.)
-Conjure energy
~Divination~
Ah yes, the most used type of magick. This includes Ouija boards, scrying, tarots, runes, etc..
~Before~
-Have the necessary protections up
-Do not go in blindly (research)
-Be prepared for what could possibly happen
-MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE A SERIOUS MENTAL PROBLEM GOING ON. I REPEAT. NO ANXIETY ATTACKS, NO CLOUDED MINDS, NO BEING SUPER SAD, ETC. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE.
-Once again, be hydrated and well fed
-Have all tools with you and know how to use them properly
-If you have others with you, make sure they are aware of the possibilities, and they know what they are going to do
-Have something to record results
~After~
-Take a well needed nap
-Ground yourself
-Cleanse your tools
-Hydration. Eating.
-Look over results
-Connect with mother nature again
-Shower/bathe
Let me emphasize a few things. Always know your limits. If you feel too weak, stop. If you feel too powerful, take a breather. Remember that you do not have to do anything, and there is always tomorrow, or the next day. If you are not comfortable with anything, stop. If you feel scared, or fearful of an outcome, stop.
Be prepared. Be in good health, body and mind. Don’t treat yourself with less than you deserve.
