The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum

I have been wondering about black energy. My friends around my area who practice energy work have tried to use black energy and found it to be very uncomfortable, and almost damaging at times. I've been able to safely use it from early on and was wondering if its possible for the body to adjust to 'negative' energies or if black energy may not be a negative energy at all, or if I might be naturally grounded against it? I think it could be helpful to get a new perspective, because if I can I wan't to teach them how to safely manage black energy.

 
I have never heard of "black energy" in my life. Could you define it?

I don't know where exactly to begin, I guess when it's in the body, it is the 'pain' we feel, like during a headache, or other painful thing. But my experience with it has two sides, The side thats painful and the side that's just strong. I'm sorry if thats not very clear...

 
Why do you label it as "black"?

Because it has rhythm?

I was not drinking. Thank the gods.
You - you win the internet today.

The reason is because I use my vision to 'see' energy, and I see that energy as a black color.

 
Oh. So you're asking if others have used pain in energy work or spells? Correct me if I'm wrong.

The first thing that springs to mind is people who do ordeal work; while many ordeal rituals don't necessarily involve you actively using the pain for something, there are people who use pain (primarily in a controlled setting where the pain levels can be controlled in a way, rather than say a headache?) when doing spells and the like and direct it in ways similar as if you were using other methods, like breathing, drumming, dancing, etc. Of course, not everyone is comfortable with doing stuff like that, and that's okay.

Personally, I've never used "pain energy" in anything because I lack the skill (plus I can't "see" it) and I don't do much ritual or spells lately, so I can't help you from a personal standpoint.

Now, not that it really adds anything to the OP but, black isn't a colour, but rather lack of light (and therefor arguably colour too? I'm not that well-versed in physics). Agreed right?

So, if you, 'see', energy as black, wouldn't that equal a void or, perhaps even an opposite of energy?

Just me wondering out loud as I was reading.

That's actually an interesting thing to point out. Hm, it does have a 'heaviness' to it, so though it may be void of color it does appear to have something to it. Still a very interesting thing to say... thank you for that.

 
Happy to help. I hope it might help you in some way or form. That'd be cool. Well, onwards to finding the magical-- lacking a better term --equivalent of dark matter huh?

Yeah, Ive had early experimentation with it. It started as a dangerous, hard to control energy. A friend of mine next to me at the time blacked out. I used to be able manage a mass of 100, which doesn't make alot of sense but that's like if i filled my body completely with black energy 100 times. I havent practiced in awhile so it can make me sick if i just suddenly pulled that much. I was really wanting to know if anyone knows how I'm able to handle it but others aren't. I cant seem to handle pink energy though, which seems to be 'mischievous' energy. :-) I think it's interesting that people may have a weakness to a certain energy.

 
Can you please explain this? I'm not quite following. How were you measuring the mass?

I've used pain to fuel spellwork before, but I don't parse energy as color most of the time so I don't think I can help there.
