Anyone else just feel a power surge?

It's coming up to 7:00am here in the UK and with the US Presidential race looking increasingly in favour of a Bush win which is a total gutter, has anyone else just felt a big power surge? It feels like the powers are kicking into some type of emergency mode, or to a whole other level of energy at the moment now that it seems that Dubya could be left to the world for another 4 years. (I haven't seen the latest, but Ohio seemed to be almost gone when I last looked, I'm still hoping for a miracle here.)

I was just working with blue energy for Kerry and all of a sudden I was getting massive surges of a powerful type of fiery water/spirit energy, or water and whitefire, and I was pretty amazed. Is this just me or has anyone else felt anything?

Maybe the powers are really preparing to kick up the level of activity down here now that things are looking increasingly messed up, or it's just me reading things wrong and it was just a spell that got overcharged somehow.

I know that when I tried to do something last night, going into psychic space felt like stepping into a really disorganized and violent mosh pit. Chaos, confusion, stuff flying all over the place. I actually couldn't handle it and buggered out.

Gonna be an interesting time.

I felt it too seems someone has intentionally clouded the aether

I wouldn't say intentionally, but it was pure chaos in there. SO MUCH PRESSURE.

Game me a migraine and sent me to bed, actually. And I wasn't working the flow, I was just observing.

Suffice to say, that was a big moment that just passed. History in the making.

I was working the flow and it was a mess, my impression remains unchanged that a veil was cast

there was so much confusion at the polls here (Columbus Ohio) it was unbelievable

Just cast the I Ching for this:

Hexagram 56, Changing in the third place.

The wanderer's inn burns down.
He loses the steadfastness of his young servant.
Danger.

It does change to Hexagram 35, Progress, but I tend to see this as less important - it looks a long, long way off right now.

Well, I don't know about the psychosphere or anything like that but I haven't been feeling well either this last week... But that's probably due to the cold I picked up at work.

Then again, it was quite windy outside today.

I had the same experience as janus, right down to the splitting headache. I tried to get chad's sigil going at one point, and felt like I was being shoved away. I noticed a strange feel in the air here around midnight, thought it was something gearing up to cause change, but looks like I was wrong

something is up for sure. I felt that energy bearing down like a vice all night and all this morning.

I just cannot imagine all that oppositional force dissipating cause kerry called it a day. it's like two bears bumping into each other in the dark. they've been showing their teeth for months and now it's hitting the fan.

politics is the continuation of magick by other means.

Very true. All the anti-Bush energy, all the pro-intelligent approach to America's problems and issues, all that energy doesn't just up and disappear because we lost the election.

We can harness the power that's been built up (esp. over the past few months) and use it.

i see this shift as a galvanising thing for sure. anyone who invoked this energy and then capitulates is going to have that force turn on them. cue democratic infighting.

on the other hand, the liberal progressives who take that juice and run with it will get a boost like you wouldn't believe. the vibe i'm getting now is that the fight is on FOR REAL for good and for keeps. the evolutionary forces are pissed. the powers will choose their vehicles and off to war.

apathy is on the way out forever, and good f-ing riddance. that's what you're feeling.

Yeah that's what I was feeling this morning, and I can still feel a lot of the same energy around now. It's like it's hardly dissipated at all. I suppose that even though the curtain has come down for another 4 years at least we've got these new waves of energy to help us out instead of absolutely nothing.

Maybe it's time to start building up energy and absorbing some of the Negative energies/Archons aswell as using combat and defence tactics, or at least preparing for something of that scale.

It seems like time to get some of those cards out that have been held close to the chest and start using them now that all other options seem to be failing. Maybe it's time for us to show them that we can really change things.

I slept from about 3am to 9:30am, so I didn't feel anything.

But I DID get the strangest sense last night, that's still with me for some reason now, that no matter what I think...things are going to turn out alright. I don't know whether to be afraid or comforted by this.

However, all last week I DID get this really weird feeling that something awful was coming. And now its gone. I have a feeling, though, that that may have just been due to midterms and the fact that I'm failing my Ancient Greek language class.

I have both reactions: there's something major in the wind - literally, in my locality, with winds nearly taking me off my bike today. The winds of change! But I also do feel as if it will "all turn out all right". I can't even define that or much less explain why, but it's there.

For me, it felt like psychic white noise... then again, I was not in good health yesterday... atributed it to other things, but might be related to this power surge because I felt a los better in the last hours, after Kerry surrendered, the energy seemed to low down.

It does change to Hexagram 35, Progress, but I tend to see this as less important - it looks a long, long way off right now.

Possibly as little as four years away. Photine subscribes to the view that Hillary Clinton will be standing for the Dems next time, who would seem to be a far stronger candidate than Kerry.

I don't know anything about a power surge, but...

The whole time we were coming up to the elections, I had the hardest time motivating myself to get involved in any of the many magickal anti-Bush workings that were going on. I just had this terrific feeling of weight, a sense of "Sheeesh, don't even bother." It was like trying to motivate myself to try and move a lorry by blinking at it. You know?

Interesting fact:

Edwards' wife was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. Kerry resigned yesterday. And now Arafat is apparently very possibly on the verge of death.

I dunno, I can't help feeling that those are connected somehow.

But that could just be me.
