Before and after-spell checklist

I remember being a baby rat that would drive her head into spells on the first sign of the house being empty. Hint: the aftermath of spellcasting knocked me out of balance for a couple of days. Don’t do as I do, do as I say, kids. I am a chaotic creature, but you don’t have to be one as well!

Before spellcasting:

• Ground yo ass
• Cleanse the space
• Gather things for your circle
• Prepare everything you need
• Check in with your energy levels – if you feel a bit tired, chances are that the spellwork will leave you drained

After spellcasting:

• Close your circle
• Put everything away
• Cleanse your space AND yourself
• Ground if you want to
• Practice self-care (drink water, eat food, contact a friend, take a nap and relax)

Things above will help you not waste unnecessary energy. Grounding might even give you a tiny boost! However, these things work for me and my craft. If yours is different (which I firmly believe it is), that’s great! You shouldn’t feel like you need to emply everything I’ve said into it!

This was a short post, but alas, it is a done post. Happy casting, yall. I love you
