Rituals and headaches ?

Is it normal that sometimes after rituals or casting spells my head starts aching ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Always rule out physical causes first before jumping to spiritual ones. Stress and dehydration are two of the most common causes of head aches.

As for rituals. If I am tired to begin with and my mind doesn' want to be quiet, then trying to focus and visualise intensely for a long period of time can become quite strenuous, tiring, and can sometimes leave me with some tension around the head area.

It is my opinion you cannot cause physical harm to yourself by performing a ritual incorrectly....unless of course you knock over candles with the flourish of a hand, or trip up holding a dagger!

The most likely reasons for feeling headachy after casting spells or performing rituals are:

1. The incense you're burning, if you are burning incense, is irritating your sinuses.

2. You are not properly grounding and centering following the spell or ritual and are thus using too much of your personal energy in your working. This can certainly cause some physical symptoms such as headaches.
