I'm Too Exhausted To Cast a Spell

​I was watching surfing YouTube the other day and happened to find a video about spirituality and magickal practice uploaded by a YouTuber I am aware of, but not subscribed to for a variety of reasons. I decided to play the video in the background while I checked my facebook accounts and responded to my messages and emails. In the video the YouTuber explained that she believed that everyone had the ability to create energetic changes within their life (practice magick) and that each of us were able to use the influences of our environments to do so. I couldn’t have agreed with her more at that point, as I also held the same belief. We are the creators of our life experiences and if we were encountering something we didn’t like or didn’t want we had the power to make changes in the mundane as well as with our Craft. 

​​As this YouTuber continued to discuss her own magickal practice my agreement with her ended. She explained that she knew that doing magick drained every ounce of energy from the practitioner and she wasn’t currently practicing magick ​because she

didn’t have the energy to do so. The interesting thing about that statement is that I’ve heard it from multiple people both online and offline. There seems to be a common belief that if you don’t feel well, if you feel tired or exhausted or energetically depleted then you cannot cast spells or practice your Craft. Honestly, I am seriously baffled by this. If this is the YouTuber’s actual experience or perhaps if you’re reading this blog and have felt the same way, “drained of every ounce of energy after casting a spell”, then I would suggest that you are going about it in the least beneficial way. You’re doing it wrong. It’s that simple. I’m going to share with you how to cast your spells so that you don’t feel drained and may in fact feel even more energized after practicing magick.
 
As a witch many (if not all) of us are familiar with The Witches’ Pyramid, which consists of: to know, to dare, to Will, to be silent, to go. You can read more about this concept HERE if you are interested. That first pillar of “to know” is the idea of knowing ourselves, our strengths, our limitations, our abilities, our Craft … it would mean that we know when we could and when we shouldn’t be using ourselves as a source of power (energy) for our magicks and as a witch, we would be aware of what the other available sources of power are at that moment and how to tap into those sources for our spell casting. If we are unaware of this, then do we truly “know” ourselves and our Craft?   
 
Energy (power) is what propels our spells forward toward manifestation. It is what builds the momentum within our thoughts, emotions, and actions, including our intentions. Energy is inherent on and in the Earth; it isn’t something that we create, it is something that always is and always was. As witches we recognize that we are able to harness this energy (power) in order to create the changes we desire in our life experience and we would be aware of the sources of the energy that we could tap into to channel that power for our spell casting. So what are those energy (power) sources?
 
The first source is you (your own body and mind), but don’t be convinced that this source is the only source and if you are exhausted or already feel drained of energy then obviously you wouldn’t want to use yourself, your own power, which is usually stored in your Solar Plexus Chakra, for your spell casting. For me personally this is the last source I tend to pull from. The second source is your surrounding environment, which includes: the planet, the sun, moon, stars, soil, stones, crystals, mountains, forest, your garden, or anything found in our physical world. This is one of the usual sources that I tend to pull energy from. And the last two sources for energy are the Astral or Spiritual realm and Universal Source or otherwise known as deity. Once a witch siphons the energy from one of these sources, he or she is then able to use that energy to propel a spell towards the desired manifestation.
 
I erroneously thought that this concept was a basic teaching of spell casting, though it seems that not everyone who identifies as a witch knows or comprehends this teaching. If you are reading this blog and are a new witch or a witch that has been practicing for years, I would encourage you to experiment with siphoning energy from sources other than yourself. In my experience the energy feels and responds differently from each source and once you’ve learned how to successfully pull energy from different sources, you will find that It is truly beneficial, especially when you feel energetically drained. Drawing energy from the natural environment can replenish a Psychic Empath when they feel that have been drained by “the world”.  
 
I will close by explaining that I have been known to inform my students and members of my coven to not show up for ritual if they are ill, however the reasoning behind the statement wasn’t because when a person is ill their energy is too low, but because their ability to focus and concentrate would be compromised by their condition. Spell casting and other magickal practices require focus and concentration, both qualities are usually compromised when we are ill.
