Discover Your Inner Power as a “Relaxed Witch”

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“I don’t know the last time I felt relaxed,” Charice, a person in my circle, said.
“I could tell you about all the times I feel anxious,” she continued.

Have you noticed that many people in several cultures use the word “productive” like it’s a beacon of hope? Also, productivity is tied to self-worth.

Is being relaxed not productive?

Someone I know, Stephanie, told me that she found a truly helpful idea when she was in turmoil, during college.

“It’s called ‘the 50-minute hour,’” she told me. The idea is: You study for 50 minutes and then do something relaxing. Perhaps take a walk outside the building.

Another friend used to draw storyboards (illustrations for making a film) when taking a break from studying for college exams related to biology and physiological psychology.

A break to relax did support productivity.

Also, it gave my friends ways to be in the world outside of a state of Rush-Rush.

Here are insights to support you in becoming a Relaxed Witch.

1. Imagine “Relaxed” as “In Tune”

    If all you do is focus on the fearmongering and rage baiting of social media, you’re not in tune with nature. How can you be relaxed? Feeling anxiety and adrenaline keeps you separate from your essence as a Relaxed Witch.

    Being in tune is related to self-care.

    2. Identify what Self-Care is to you

    Ask yourself: What do I feel is the Self-Care I need?

    Here are some Self-Care ideas:

    1. A ritual bath.
    2. Doing your own nails.
    3. Making a magickal cup of tea or coffee.
    4. Do an extended grounding exercise.
    5. Enjoy your own spa day.

    What would you like to do as self-care?

    3. Take a Breath

    We often take our breath for granted. But it can feed our soul.

    Why?

    Our breath feeds our bodies. It also carries our magickal words of power.

    Deep breathing helps us center ourselves and can be done anywhere we feel safe.

    It can be done during our lunch break in our car, at home, or on a walk in the woods.

    4. Say a prayer for Self-Care

    Here is a prayer you can use.

    As I breathe 1, 2, 3,
    Help me manage the rising tornado in me.
    I ask Air to calm the winds down.
    I ask Earth to stand my ground,
    Let Fire shift down low.
    And Water wash my anxiety just so.
    As I will, so mote it be!

    May these insights support your path. 

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater

    Give Yourself the Tarot Advantage Before You Make a Decision (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / 2 Comments

    “I realized that every decision is like making a bet,” Nancy, a person in my circle, said.

    “How so?” I asked.

    “You don’t have all the information. Even if you make a rational decision, there’s an element of luck involved,” she said.

    I reflected on this.

    We, witches, can have an advantage.

    You could decide to include Tarot Cards in your practice of the Craft.

    Here are helpful insights.

    1. Prepare your energy before you do a spread of Tarot Cards.

      “The magic begins in you. Feel your own energy, and realize similar energy exists within the Earth, stones, plants, water, wind, fire, colours, and animals.” – Scott Cunningham

      Pay attention to your current state of energy. Are you okay? Are you exhausted?

      Here’s the important point: If you are upset, you could read a Tarot Spread incorrectly. This incorrect reading could further fuel your problems.

      Instead, make sure to first ground and center your energy.

      2. Use a dedicated Tarot cloth for your spread of Tarot Cards.

      The purpose here is to keep the energy of your spread of cards separate from other energies. This is also important if you travel and do a spread in different places.

      Other benefits include:

      1. Keep your cards clean.
      2. This also provides part of a good ritual.

      3. Make sure your question is precise.

      A vague question can lead to a muddy answer.

      Here are examples of better questions:

      1. What step do I need to take to increase my financial abundance?
      2. Will I meet a good business contact at the Networking Event on Elm Street today?

      Let’s Pull This All Together

      Making better decisions can include a careful and well-thought-out approach to using Tarot Cards.

      May these insights support your path.

      A Shift in Focus and You Find the Goddess Path (a Witch’s Perspective)

      / Moonwater / 2 Comments
      Path in the woods

      “Owwww! This pain is … just too much,” Stephen, a person in my circle, said.
      He endured oral surgery, and then, when the anesthetic wore off, he barely held on with Tylenol and Ibuprofen.

      What helped? Talking on the phone with friends. How? When talking with a friend, Stephen’s focus would shift. The pain would go into the background. Sometimes for a couple of minutes … or more.

      We, Wiccans and witches, can tune into our spiritual path. We can direct our focus.

      “In truly understanding the Goddess and God, one comes to understand life, for the two are inextricably entwined. Live your earthly life fully, but try to see the spiritual aspects of your activities as well. Remember—the physical and spiritual are but reflections of each other.” – Scott Cunningham

      I reflected on this.
      I notice two different types of focus.

      One type is a focus on gratitude.

      The other type is “what is not perfect.”  An example is: The parent insists that the kid is never good enough.

      It all depends on what you focus your mind on.

      The focus on gratitude can shift your inner energy.
      Stephen found that in his warm connection with a friend, his inner energy went from suffering to gratitude and connection.

      “To me, magic is the movement of subtle, natural energies to manifest needed change.” – Scott Cunningham

      What do you need to change?
      Would you like to do a simple candle ritual?

      Remember, your focus can elevate your life. The Goddess meets you on that elevated path.

      Here is a prayer you can use:

      Goddess,
      Help me shift my focus to the good things in life.
      Help my mind heal my body and soul.
      Inspire me into gratitude for all You have given me
      So Mote It Be.

      May these insights support your path.

      To the Gods’ Will (A Witch’s Perspective)

      / Moonwater / Leave a comment

      “What about receiving intuitive thoughts from the Gods?” Jim, someone in my circle, asked.

      Later, I reflected on this.

      What would be an indication that the thought originated with the Gods?

      One of my spiritual elders suggested, “It would not be ego-focused. And, it would not harm you.”

      Look at what the Goddess said:

      “Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever toward it; let naught stop you or turn you aside.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

      So, if a thought is negative and makes your life worse, it is NOT from the Gods.

      “Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.” – Kahlil Gibran

      “Maybe some of our painful experiences are necessary to open our understanding,” one of my spiritual elders said.

      I thought about this. Perhaps, breaking old habits that are bad for you … may bring pain.

      So, pain may be unwanted. But we can have a different thought. How about… “What can I learn from this?”

      Or “How can I have empathy, now that I have experienced this tough situation?”

      The Goddess stands with you.
      What is Her will? That you show kindness to yourself, humans, and other beings.
      Nature is our home.

      Now, how will you honor the Goddess, your true self, and your home?

      May these insights support your journey.

      Falling Out of “Resonating” with Another Person – a Goddess Perspective

      / Moonwater / 5 Comments

      “We don’t call each other anymore,” Alicia, someone in my circle, said. She was talking about her estrangement from her former best friend, Cynthia.

      “Are you okay with that?” I asked.

      “No,” Alicia began. “But it’s like we don’t get each other anymore.” She frowned. “But I still miss her. At least, I miss what we had … who we were … some time ago.”

      Recently, I realized I no longer think about my first husband. We met when I was 17 years old. We got married at 18. And, we were divorced in my early 20s.

      I’m not the person I was when I was next to him. Thank Goddess!

      I recall this quote, which shows the Goddess’s perspective.

      “Ye who are feign to learn all sorcery, who have not yet won its deepest secrets, to these will I teach that which is yet unknown. And ye shall be free from slavery…” The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente.

      To stay with the person who is anti-how you are resonating now … is a form of slavery.

      Goddess supports you to grow into the highest expression of your essence.

      Are you now resonating on a higher vibration?
      Is it time to let someone go or to reduce your exposure to them?

      Remember, the Goddess is as close as your next prayer.

      May these insights support your path.

      Blessed Be,
