“It’s too much,” Alicia, someone I know, said.
She’s right. Friends. Family. Job. Only minutes for herself.

In talking with spiritual elders, this topic arose:
“Decide what does not matter.”

What does that look like?

A podcast creator I know saw that she had 87 episodes. Her first thought was: “I should push and get my channel up to 100 episodes. That would be good.”

Would it be good?

Who is she trying to impress?
Her mother? Who did not give her credit for anything?

Does she want to prove to herself … “see, most people quit at 11 episodes, I’m better than them”?

So how do you decide if something matters?
Are you thinking of the opinion of someone else?

Let’s pause here.

“Everything is energy—this book you are reading, the ink on its pages, even the thoughts that are going through your mind while you read these words.”
– Janet Farrar, in the book, Lifting the Veil: A Witches’ Guide to Trance-Prophesy, Drawing Down the Moon, and Ecstatic Ritual

What kind of energy do you want in your daily life?
Do you want a frantic chase? Will the podcast creator make her life frantic to get up to 100 episodes? How fast?

Here’s an important distinction: You decide what matters.

“[Be] clever enough to make sure you only ask for what you really want, rather than for what you think you want.” – Janet Farrar, Spells and How They Work

How about you?
What do you really want?

Can you let go of trying to impress somebody?

Can you lean into your own Divine Path?

What does that Divine Path include?

“…let there be beauty and strength; power and compassion; honour and humility; mirth and reverence within you.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess by Doreen Valiente

Again, what matters to your Divine Self?

What distraction can you let go of?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“Oh, no! If I decide wrong, there’s no turning back,” Alicia, someone I know said.
We had an extended conversation.

I remembered this quote:

“The High Priestess serves as the representative of the Goddess, guiding the coven and making decisions regarding its leadership. She embodies virtues of wisdom, humility, and generosity.” – The Witches’ Bible by Janet and Stewart Farrar

So, the Goddess invites you to focus on decision-making with these three facets: wisdom, humility, and generosity.

Here’s a prayer you can use:

Goddess,
Give me wisdom to pause and listen to my intuition,
The humility to listen to other people,
And enliven my spirit with generosity to bless all involved.
So Mote It Be

“I don’t know if I should tell Ginny that I’m Wiccan,” Wendy, a new acquaintance, said.
We talked for a while.

As I reflected on this, I realized much is involved in such a personal decision. The following six questions can help you.

Prepare to really observe the other person so you can assess if the person is trustworthy.

Here are questions that can help you protect yourself from an unnecessary risk in revealing that you’re a Wiccan or witch.

• Is this person open-minded?
• Is this person respectful of others’ beliefs?
• Does the person badmouth other people and/or their beliefs?
• Is the person trustworthy?
• Can the person keep a secret?
• Does the person tell other people’s secrets?

Does this feel intense to you?
Have you noticed that sometimes the best answer is to hold your silence?

Here is a prayer you might consider.

Lady,
Guide me to the right people for myself and my tribe.
Lord,
Protect me from the mistakes of my choices.
Gods, let me find the people that will help me grow on my path in a positive way.
So Mote It Be

Do you feel that a part of you is clawing at you and holding you down?

In a recent conversation among spiritual elders, this quote was mentioned:

“The purpose of Wicca… is the integration of conflicting aspects of the individual psyche, and the integration of the individual psyche with the ‘Cosmic Psyche.’” – Janet and Stewart Farrar, The Witches’ Bible: The Complete Witches’ Handbook

Have you noticed “conflicting aspects of [your] psyche” causing you trouble?

I know writers who do not write.
I know singers who do not sing.

What’s going on?

In some cases, it’s about fear.
Some authors point out, “The ego is made of fear.”

Is that who you really are?

Instead, let’s pause.

Have you thought about your essence? Recently, the first word that came to mind was “caregiver.”

Wait. Who am I if I am not, in the moment, caregiving?
I know my parents push me to handle their needs.
I help my husband.
My kitten, Max, needs me—a lot.

I’m crying now.
What do I need?
Who am I?
Who takes care of me?

My husband held my hands.
And I said: I JUST NEED HELP.

Our conversation continues every day.

(My husband does help me with the housework.)
My husband encourages me to return to my connection with the Goddess.

Goddess knows my Essence.

Goddess reminds me of my connection with the Cosmic Psyche.

Goddess placed divinity into me and YOU.

Here is a prayer you can use:

Goddess,
Help me.
I don’t know what to do.
I don’t know what to stop.
Guide me to step up for the person who truly needs my caregiving—Me.
Show me Your love.
Teach me my value.
Guide me to love myself.
So Mote It Be.

I realize that I need to love myself. This means I need:

• More time off
• Help with more things
• More time talking with the Gods
• More sleep
• To delegate more
• Some fun and peace

May these insights support your path.

Moonwater

“Do you think that when I say, ‘I was afraid before I showed up for my book signing,’ that my friends understood?” Stanley, an author I know, asked me.

“Probably not,” I replied.

“Yeah. Okay,” he said. Then he shrugged. In our conversation that followed, Stanley observed that he could let go. He did not need his friends to think he showed courage. He did not need external validation.

Have you ever thought about the gift of divinity that the God and Goddess put into each one of us? Imagine that you can have “internal validation.”

How?

It relates how you view your soul and your soulful journey.

Years ago, I had an experience. I was about 19 years old, and I sat down on the deck floor – at the back of my parents’ home.

In my meditation, the God and the Goddess appeared on either side of me.

Their loving energy, like a warm blanket, enfolded me.

My value is not from what I do. It’s from Their Love and my own essence.

How can you find your own essence?
Consider meditation, talking to the Gods, and walking in nature.

Here’s a prayer you can use:

Goddess,
Hold me in Your arms.
Guide me to experience my essence.
Assure me of my true worth.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
