Headaches after spell work??!!?!?!

[Angel_Beast1221]

So I was wondering whether or not anyone here has experienced headaches after doing any spells? Also, could it be something I am doing wrong and how can I go about preventing them?

A little background/More info:
I find that after working a spell, usually a protection spell, I get terrible headaches, my body begins to feel weak, and my hands begin to shake very badly. This is after I have released my circle and any energy I may have needed to borrow, casting my circle and throughout the spell I am fine. (Most of my spells are extremely powerful and I tend to avoid doing any spells because of the pain afterwards. I stick mostly to grounding myself, maintaining balance and meditation.) Starting from the beginning, I light a candle, acknowledge the four corners (to create my circle) and the deities I associate with, ask for assistance and a blessing, raise my energy, bless my space and tools, perform the spell, release my energy, say a thank you, acknowledge the four corners again in reverse to release the circle and put out the candle. As soon as the flame is out I begin to feel a sharp pain in my right temple and my body begins to feel weak. I usually keep water near by to drink afterward and have to go to a darkened room to close my eyes and meditate a bit. This helps to take the sharpness of the pain away but there is a constant dull, throbbing pain that lingers all day.

On a side note:
I am very sensitive to all the energy around me and on days where I am bombarded with a lot of negativity and have to constantly focus on keeping all that out I also get migraines. I keep some pills on me for days like that but I don't like to take them because they make me feel strange and very out of it.

It sounds like you are, but just to double check, are you grounding and centering at the close of your rituals? Eating and drinking right at the end is also helpful - the traditional 'cakes and ale' at the end of workings is supposed to help this sort of thing.

Yes, I do take some time to ground and center myself at the end. Maybe if I try and eat something, I usually only keep water on hand because I'm very spontaneous when it comes to working spells. I only do it when the time feels right so I generally don't take time to prepare any type of food for afterward.

Sounds like nerve burn... means you may have over exerted yourself a little bit energetically speaking during the spellworky

Ok thanks,that's a possibility. I'll keep that in mind next time.

Do you by any chance grit or grind your teeth when You work, and/or have a heat sensitive tooth? These would affect nerves in the jaw, ear and face.

I am allergic to most scented candles and many incenses.
They give me head aches.
I have learned to be very careful and selective about spell components and only purchase natural bees wax candles.

It would be worth considering.

That is something I haven't considered, even though I am allergic to almost everything.
I usually try to buy all natural candles, but incense is another story. I will keep that in mind.

Thanks!!

I can't really recall. I think next time I will try and pay more attention to that if I can.
