Raising energy can be done in a variety of ways: singing, chanting, dancing, and visualization (guided or otherwise). Here are some suggestions for raising energy.
Roots and Branches
Close your eyes and imagine the following:
Your feet sink into the ground, becoming roots growing deep into our Mother the Earth, Her energies are all around, rising up like sap through your feet and legs; filling your body. Feel them in every cell. You are one with her.
You are a great strong tree. Stand tall with arms upstretched. These are your branches reaching up to our Father the Sky. Your leaves drink in the power of the Sun. The energies course down your arms and into the center of your being. Earth and sky energies mix. Feel the life-giving energy swirling thoughout your body. More energy is taken in with every breath. Fill the circle with this energy. Continue to draw it in and to send it out. You are at one with all that is. The life that pulses through nature, pulses through you.
Mantras
"Re, He-ca-te." Another is "Ven-us, Mer-cur-ius, Sol In-vic-tus."
The Mill
This is a traditional spell, known as The Mill, and is used to raise and send energy for any purpose.
Dance around the cauldron, focusing on your magickal intent and chant the following rhyme:
"Air breathe and air blow
Make the mill of magick grow.
Work the will for which we pray
Eo deo ha hay yay.
Fire flame and fire burn
Make the mill of magic turn.
Work the will for which we pray
Eo deo ha hay yay.
Water heat and water boil
Make the mill of magick toil.
Work the will for which we pray
Eo deo ha hay yay.
Earth without and earth within
Make the mill of magick spin.
Work the will for which we pray
Eo deo ha hay yay."
