Hi family. Does anyone experience feeling drained after ritual work? I’ve been doing work with LaLa’s candles and Chaela and Tina’s rituals for over a year now. I’m noticing a theme for me. After some rituals and candles I am completely drained for at least 2-3 days, want to do nothing but sleep. In the last week and a half I lit Healing, 3POV, 1POS and Sire. I also did 5 of Tina’s rituals. I’m exhausted. I tend to go hard, then chill for a bit with the exception of cleansing and balancing for this reason. Has anyone experienced this? If so, what do you do? Do you go with the flow? Space them out? Or spell yourself to have greater energy. Thanks in advance.

Yup very common.
umm so some stuff I light in the day time that I hope to stay awake for and wish to have energy for. other times spirits make me sleepy, relaxed, dizzy, in a trance and extra awake, or just plain ole super drained like you said.
Soo normally I avoid lighting anything when already drained or sleepy or sick but currently am doing spell work for legal fam issue because spirits have been telling me to keep at it for this matter. I get the whole chabang include even more migraines than before I got into candle work. But it is not always as bad if I light it for someone other than myself.. if however I feel resistance eg. They are feeling negative lately or they do not believe that majick can be good too, then I have to re-energize...
what the poster above said.. same thing sometimes I have to watch what I eat depending on type of work and candle etc. other times with the majick, I have no appetite but might eat to regain energy. Mostly I get dehydrated a lot with majick especially when I do the work with candles..
I have fallen asleep after chanting for spelled candles at night and other times unable to sleep at all because my and spirits in candle and mine keep me up or keep telling me to go see their messages at the candle. I have been woken up before that way with sounds out of nowhere or hearing my name but it is not my fam, it is the spirits calling me.
other times likely lately with conjuring and I think finally getting it right with the seals, the massive migraines are bad but also spirits are not letting me just sitting without continuing the spell work. So it is hard to explain because I am very drained physically with this at times but mentally is too much energy because spirit start ringing my ears or something else.
Last night with 4 p or Mars spirits had this room sounding like as if there were airplanes and strong wing flying over this building or me. It was very loud; I could not help wonder if anyone else at home or in this building or block could also hear and feel them lol.. That went on for hours and then I passed out suddenly.. The flames was strong and dancing whole time since I first lit it and conjured.. I had to kinda shorten my talk with them because I could feel them touching me really strongly wanting to rush to work.. So that’s when I got the hint and thanked and dismissed them.
It's called a Spell Hangover. I get them ... the key is to ground yourself prior to spell work. Like meditation, getting sleep and eating properly (but not too much), and hydrate before doing a spell/conjure. Practicing magick takes a lot of energy, so if you don't prep before you'll crash. Have a pre and post spell ritual to take care of yourself and allow you to connect with spirit.
