Ace, are you a guy? You can call me Mama Dreemy if you want. Do you know Bree from outside of this site or only from here? Have you read the "about us" section of the site? I know I have to update it, but, just briefly, I am mom to 5 "kids" from 17 to 23.
You know i really love it when young people frequent this site. Wanna know why? Well, it's the mother instinct in me I spose. You see when young people frequent this site I know they are safe here. Oh i know, you probably feel pretty savy about handling yourself out there, both on-line and out in the world. But I am talking about something much more subtle than probably what you would suppose. And no, I'm not talking about dark magick or psychic attack...that stuff if really very very rare and not at all as nasty as most people think. The scariest thing, in truth, is giving away your own personal power...the power of choice. See, no matter what anyone tells you or who we blame our choices and actions on, the one responsible is always ourselves. We are in charge of ourselves and we bare the consequences for our choices and actions. So you know what the most dangerous thing in the universe is? It is manipulation, or someone else telling you what to do. Now, granted, we must obey laws and respect other's rights....but we each must learn to listen to our own inner voice or gut and to hold everything and everyone up to the bright light of the harm none rede. (harm none including not harming ourselves).
The regulars or staff here would never tell you what to do other than to point out the harm none concept and how it applies. We hold in high priority everyone's right to make up their own mind and follow their own path and heart. That's why you are safe here.
So how long will you be a novice and need others for feedback? Well, I still think I am and I have been studying wicca for 22+ years. Absolutely all of us here turn to each other for feedback, as sounding boards, and even just for empathy and support. I find it very cool to be able to be a "solitary" practitioner and yet not be solitary at all. Some of us have known each other here on-line for about 10 years now!
You are also a lot safer to use the message board to ask advice and opinions than e-mails or chats since on the forum here the staff would step in if someone was steering you "off" or away from a harm none direction.If you are off in a private communication you are totally on your own in sorting out who has your best interest at heart, and who might not.
As far as the energy thing goes, the first thing I would say if you were one of my own kids is to check your caffine and sugar intake. Honestly. We live in a physical body in a psysical world, and we worship through nature. Do you mind if I ask how old you are? The whole growing thing causes all sorts of energy spurts as well. Do you know what omega fatty acids are? Depending on whether the energy excesses you are experiencing are mental or physical you can balance that with ajusting your protein and carb intake. But omega fatty acids (found in healthy fats and fish and nuts) are really important to have control over energy spikes or slumps. Also refined sugar and carbs cause blood sugar to spike dangerously high and then consequently crash dangerously low. A diet full of refined foods (including regular sodas and energy drinks!) causes a roller-coaster like effect on your energy. Part of following a harm none philosophy also includes learning how best to care for ourselves.
I look forward to hearing more from you, Ace!
Bright Blessings!
Dreemy
