Your Essence vs. Ego – The Goddess Knows (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“I don’t want to miss an opportunity. But … but I’m shaking,” a friend, Henry, said.
Henry is artistic, and he was facing a whole new venue for his art. A big opportunity.
“And a big risk,” Henry said.

In talking with spiritual elders … the conversation often turns to the idea of “your essence versus your ego.”

Henry’s essence is “artist.” His ego is “scared guy worried about making a mistake.”

The idea is that one’s ego is made of fear. The ego tries to protect you. But the problem is that it is influenced by genetics. The people who passed on their genes were those who ran away from tigers and lions.

The ones who said, “Here, Kitty, Kitty” … got eaten.

Fear, for many of us, is a first reaction.

The ego tries to protect us. And the ego keeps us small.

On the other hand, the Goddess wants us to experience Our Essence. The God and Goddess placed divinity in you. That’s your essence.

What is your essence about? Growing and giving.

  1. Make space to shift.

Some artistic people I know keep pen and paper (how old-fashioned) next to their bed. They write down ideas as they wake up in the morning. At times, they capture some divine inspiration.

Many of us meditate with a journal nearby to record the inspiration we receive.

  1. Drop seeking willpower in favor of making it a routine.

Several people I know say they have trouble with making meditation a daily ritual.

However, making a routine—or tying meditation to a routine you have—can support your spiritual life.
Allison, someone I know, does a brief breathing meditation in her bathroom immediately after brushing and flossing her teeth.

That’s a routine connected to a routine.

  1. Pray to the Goddess.

Here is a prayer you can use.

My Lord and Lady, who granted me my essence,
Help me separate my essence from my ego.
For my ego is not my true self.
Support me as I walk my true path.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Secrets Related to The Tarot and Gaining Money (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“I surprised myself,” Alice, someone I know, said.
“How?” I asked.
“It was my first chance at having a long-term client for my coaching business. I asked the person, ‘How much do you think the investment is in a year of coaching?’ The prospective client said, $12,000.” And I replied, “You’re right about that.” Alice said.
I saw Alice shake her head. Was something off?
“What’s that about? You’re shaking your head,” I asked.
“It’s just that… I had never made that kind of money before,” Alice said.
The conversation continued. Alice told me that she gained that client.
During that year, Alice drew on her personal fear and used it as fuel to ensure the client had a great experience.

Later, I reflected on details that arose in that conversation with Alice.

Here are three insights.

1. Realize that you may need to clear your path to financial abundance.
You might ask during a Tarot session:
• How might I clear my path to financial abundance?

2. You may need to ask questions related to fear.
Have you noticed yourself or a friend procrastinating on taking a step toward improving one’s financial situation?

You might ask during a Tarot session:
• What step do I take so I step up to my next level?
• How might I quiet down my fear?

3. Remember, the Goddess knows your path ahead.
You can use a prayer like this:

    Goddess,
    Guide me on my path ahead,
    So I don’t feel that dread.
    Escort me to my highest ideal,
    And with this prayer, help me heal.
    So Mote It Be

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,

    Goddess Saved My Ass (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / Leave a comment

    I was 17 years old.
    I didn’t know that day that I might not make it to my 18th year.
    After a boring day of high school, I walked to my parked car.

    It was on a side street. I felt it was safer because some people damaged cars parked in the school lot.
    I drove off and soon pulled up to an intersection.
    The light turned green.
    My foot automatically went to the accelerator.

    But I felt a command, “Don’t go.”

    I dropped my foot to the floorboard.

    Whoosh! A car roared through the intersection. It would have smashed my car and taken my life.

    Thank you, Goddess!

    After this, I have reflected on the lesson.

    1. Make space to listen for the Goddess’s direction.

      When I was saved by the Goddess, I was a solitary witch. I was learning about Wicca and witchcraft.
      It’s possible that my being new to the Craft helped me stay open to lessons from the Goddess.

      Now, I keep a space to listen for the Goddess’s direction by talking to Her each day.

      Do you devote time to talking with the Goddess?

      Even 3 minutes may be helpful. We recall that “3” is a sacred number.

      2. Sometimes, the Goddess’s direction is surprising.

      I was surprised about the Goddess directing me to sit there when the traffic light was green.

      Percy, someone I know, failed to listen to the Goddess’s surprise direction. He was at work, and a co-worker brought in a homemade apple pie. He received a thought, “Do not have any pie!”

      He didn’t listen. He wanted to be “nice.” He had one bite, and a walnut shell in the pie broke his tooth in half!

      Have you ever had an intuitive thought that seemed unusual, but it could protect you?

      3. Pray to the Goddess.

      Here is a prayer you can use.

      My Gracious Lady of the Moon.
      Open my mind so I can hear You speak,
      Help me hear You so I don’t weep.
      Give me lessons that I can learn,
      So my life improves in turn.
      Open my eyes so I can see,
      The blessings You have for me.
      So Mote It Be

      Saying Goodbye to My Beloved Cat – Goddess’s Support When Chapters of Life Close (A Witch’s Perspective)

      / Moonwater / 2 Comments

      Recently, my beloved cat, Magick, passed away.
      I’m still crying.

      He knew he was going to go.
      He changed his daily routine to stay closer to my husband and me.

      I held him until his last breath.

      Do you ever ask the Goddess, “Why does life have to be so painful?”

      I miss my dear Magick.

      I imagine him playing with other cats in the Summerlands.

      I imagine him delighting my husband’s mother. She passed a couple of years ago. Magick would likely curl up on her lap. She’d hear his contented purring.

      Here are three insights:

      1. Gratitude for the Chapter You Are Currently Living

      I am grateful that I had the chance to love such a wonderful being. But I am still grateful for all that I have. I am grateful for my husband, my home, and having food on the table. I am grateful for you reading this.

      What are you grateful for?

      2. Cry and allow yourself to be “cried out.”

      My husband and I are still crying. We’ve suffered a great loss. We let our tears flow to clear our souls for new possibilities.

      3. Pray to the Goddess.

      Here is a prayer you can use.

      Goddess,
      Hold me close.
      Ease my pain during this tough time.
      Help me understand that this is the Cycle of Life
      And that my burdens of sorrow will be lifted from me.
      So Mote It Be

      Also, I wrote this eulogy for Magick, my cat. You may find this suitable for your beloved pet.

      Eulogy for a Pet

      My little darling  [Pet’s Name],
      Lay down your sweet head.
      We are now praying for you
      As you transition and become
      One of the beloved dead.
      The Summerlands await you.
      Where you will be young and strong.
      So lay down your sweet head, till the great hunt comes along.
      As I So Will, So Mote It Be!

      May these insights support your path.

      Blessed Be,
      Moonwater

      Goddess Invites You to “Show Up” (A Witch’s Perspective)

      / Moonwater / Leave a comment

      “How did you show up on your path to earning a third degree in Gardnerian Wicca?” Cythia, someone in my circle, asked.

      I replied, talking about how I traveled 60 miles round trip, over and over again, to learn from my spiritual elders. I could see in my elders’ faces. They were proud of me for showing up.

      When I felt the intuitive call to start my blog in 2012, I was inspired to show up every week.

      My own spiritual practice deepened because I had to be fully present and alert to facets of my spiritual path.

      When I first learned about the Tarot from my spiritual elders, I was intimidated.
      I have dyslexia. Reading a bunch of material was daunting to me.

      But I kept showing up to learn more and more. I read books. I did research.

      I also learned that reading a Tarot spread can be a “process of the heart.”

      It’s not only about memorizing textbook definitions of each card.

      Let’s pause a moment.

      In your spiritual practice, what do you need to show up for?

      Is there some area of your spiritual practice that you want to devote yourself to learning?

      May these insights support your path.

      Blessed Be,
