The flame would spin in circles and then go straight up repeatedly. Now naturally I always been a natural with psychic energies, but after I was done casting I got really fatigued then struck with arousal suddenly. The nature of my spell was a love reunification spell. So I am trying to figure out how to read the flame and also figure out why the side affects if that’s normal. If someone can help me here that will be great.
Agreed with Corvidus -- it's pretty normal to feel very tired after spellwork. Othertimes, you may feel restless and jittery and may have trouble sleeping. That's why grounding is an important part of rituals. Water energy, like Corvidus suggested, could help out in this case because you were doing so much with fire. Eating and drinking ("cakes and ale", in some Wiccan traditions) can level you out as well. I also like to crouch down and put my palms on the ground so the earth can draw out some of the excess energy.
I don't really believe in the threefold law (what you send out comes back to you times three), but I do believe in the
"strawberry jam effect": you can't work with something without getting it all over yourself. That would also explain why you feel so much arousal afterwards.
