Has your energy been low lately? Try this simple spell.

Cleanse your space and yourself then light a white candle.

Say this chant out loud:

"I call back my power and energy from all corners, people, places and situations that have been draining, siphoning, or stealing from me - consciously or subconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally - from all realms, worlds, and directions of time. I am safe, sovereign, and protected. So shall it be."

Blow out your candle and repeat anytime you feel a loss of power, motivation or feel weak.

This pleases me.

Ares, father, thank you for watching over me.

Thank you, lord of battle and guardian of warriors, for helping me find my strength and summon my bravery.

Thank you, he who stands on the battlefield, for being with me when I weep and when I rage, for seeing my emotions as strength rather than weakness.

Thank you, god of blood and breath, for finding all those fighting, be it wars or illness or trauma, and helping them through fear and pain and grief.
