Raising energy

[Gemini~]

I was just woundering how u raised energy for a spell. Thanks in advance.

Energy can be raised in a number of ways... chanting, drumming, dancing, singing, invoking the Powers That Be...

I've bumped up another thread by Mairwen that might give you some help, as well...

BTW, anyone heard from Mairwen?

I know she has message boards up. Called Midnight Garden. But I don't have the link to it here at my job.

Energy can also be raised in the very process of preparing for ritual itself. Bathing, cleansing and setting up your altar can help you shift from the mundane to the spiritual and turn your focus toward raising necessary energy.

I use Freyja's method.

Here's a pretty good article about how our emotions can help or hinder our efforts to raise energy:

oddly, listening to tribal music helps me... i feel as if i know the music from somewhere :?

I hum to myself, as I'm usually trying not to wake up anyone else in the house. I feel that it works the same as chanting though. :)
