Le petite mort 
In my experience of that it wasn’t so much of a choice however. I did raise my vibration on my own with different methods but how they did it is like you could never ground your self like ever. I have tried everything and nothing worked. However when I started to work with the Goetia I was immediately grounded and let me tell you we take being grounded for granted. I felt I had never truly touched the Earth or my magic to do much except the healing kind until now.
I would also have to add this one to my list. Not being properly grounded for what ever reason is not pretty. Especially to a witch that works with plants and such. It’s like you don’t hear or sense them. But once grounded it’s like everything changes. You feel more solid and more stable. So definitely make tweaks if need to be. Grounding is like one of the main pillars per say.
I’m curious on what your experience was or experiences. 
About what?
Yeah you know whats up

If a man wants to have kids he needs literally balls, like testicles, but it’s also saying he needs balls in the sense of he takes risks and is a man.
So physically he has balls but he also needs metaphorical balls or guts to have kids.
“Damn he’s got some balls to do that!”
Their basically saying he is a man or has guts cuss he takes risks.
“Titan’s got some fucking balls, he did the Qlipoth Ina day, I heard that’s really supposed to fuck you up!”
Actually the most retarded thing was never using a defined circle and proper safety precautions in ritual.
My Neophyte Golden Dawn initiation, trying to follow along, and remember as much as possible, had my temple ghetto-rigged, including the four candles for the directions in flimsy “knock me over” candle glass holders, with the altar in the center and my wonderful silk tau robe and black and white nemyss. All weapons on the altar, I was about to become an Adept! Until in one circumabulation, knocked over a candle and nearly caught the carpet on fire. Thank gods the water cup still had water in it and I didn’t self combust.
This one literally just happened less than ten minutes ago, drained myself so much and over did a ritual to the point i passed out and my temple area went up in flames about two hours i woke up and everything was on fire, house filled with smoke
such a rookie mistake lucky no one else was here
What are we coming to do with you C.Kendall burning you home down isn’t really an option. In all seriousness I am glad you are okay.
Yeah, that is some intense luck there. How much was burnt?
Surprisingly only the candles and the board it was on, but we’re talking like a full size large dining table lot of high flames to the ceiling, the craziest part is my fabric gateway didnt burn or even get a mark and it was basically in that fire
Wow! I’m glad you’re okay too, hopefully some stuff can be salvaged? That is amazing.
@C.Kendall man you got lucky. Maybe you should buy a lotto ticket. Anyhow glad you’re ok.
I’ve seen some burned places and sometimes the smoke marks left shapes where you can see faces and bodies.
Yeah thanks everyone all is fine surprisingly all damage seems easily reversible by hand 
If it was a curse…I feel bad for whoever’s on the recieving end. 
Not that I suffered great consequences but I used to half ass them or not do defensive work at the first place. Be it a banishing or warding. I was lucky to not get busted and attacked, thankfully. But it is dumb.
Filled my temple room with so much incense that I almost suffocated, and when I opened the window to air it out, the billowing clouds of smoke made my neighbours knock on the door asking if my house was on fire 
I mean you did attract a parasite… me…
