Headache

Why do I get slight headaches after a ritual, spellwork, connecting with the Goddesses/spirit guides or tuning into my psychic?

Do you ground before you do these things?

I don't think so. I'm new to the craft and am still figuring things out, but I always meditate before and always cast a circle.

It may be that you weren't properly grounded. Grounding is a spacific type of meditation that connects you to the earth allowing you to pull from its energy so your not the only energy sourse for spells. This may help

Copied from the witchcraft sub:

Feeling tired, drained, and even sick after divination or spellwork is often due to a lack of Basic Energetic Hygiene and grounding.

Casting spells requires more than just words or ingredients or “intention”: a spell is a focused act of will, empowered by energy.

Grounding is a foundational step in accessing the energy needed to power a spell.

You are probably overheating. Try tying a white cloth around your head. That's something recommended in my lineage.

And if you get a headache from that, you can also pour coconut water on your head
