How Witches Receive Goddess’s Gift

“That’s a red-tailed hawk,” I said to my sweetheart. He saw the bird soaring.

“That’s a good sign,” I said.

I thought about this.

“Goddess’s gift” in a particular moment might be a good sign.

Her gift could be feeling able to eat solid food after a physical illness.

At one time, a friend said to me, “Take the win, Moonwater.”

She pointed out that my depression symptoms can function like a filter that blocks me from enjoying a little “gift” … a good moment during the day.

I decided to expand my spiritual practice to receive whatever gift the Goddess provides.

Here are three insights.

Pay attention.

To receive the Goddess’s gift, you need to pause and pay attention to what is going on around you. The Goddess speaks in many ways. You may receive signs or an intuitive feeling.

Signs are everywhere. To truly see them you must stop and take a breath.

See beyond your usual perceptions. Listen to your heart. What does it tell you? Is the Goddess whispering to you? Listen close.

Ask for a new perception.

If your senses and perception only experience darkness, ask the God and Goddess for a new perception.

It is time to look at things from another angle?

Ask yourself, “Is it possible?”

Is it possible that Goddess is preparing me for something better?
Is it possible that I am learning here for something coming up?
Is it possible that Goddess needs me to get stronger for my own good?

If you welcome the experience of a new perception, you may discover an answer that you missed.

Take action to graciously receive Goddess’s Gift

Recently, I learned about “Take 5” which is a process to pause and breathe deeply five times.

That is one action that can help you prepare to receive Goddess’s gift.

Prayer, meditation, and ritual also prepare you to graciously receive Goddess’s gift.

A Prayer

Great Goddess, let me be open to receiving your gifts.
Open my heart, mind, and soul to Your creative intuition.
Let me absorb your gifts for me, so that I may grow.
So mote it be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
