“Your film doesn’t work. It’s really two different films,” said four people in my friend Sacha’s circle.

“I don’t know what to do,” she told me.

“Do your friends want what’s best for you?” I asked.

“Yes. I trust them. I know them,” Sacha replied.

I realized that the first question about facing criticism is:  “Does the person want good things for you?”

I’ve noticed that some people just can’t handle it if you share a deep part of yourself with them. I felt heartbroken when I shared with one particular friend that I am a witch. As soon as she knew this, she left my life.

A couple of days later, Sacha posted her film on YouTube, despite her friends’ criticism.

Nothing bad happened. Her friends stood by her. And, 200 people saw the film, with no conflicting comments.

Here’s another point about criticism. I realized that people who left my life when they found out I am a witch really did not know what a witch is!

They had unfounded prejudices. So, this second point is: Do not accept criticism from people who do not know what they’re talking about.

I recall that an elder, Don Frew, mentioned: “When someone talks about a witch or pagan, ask them, ‘What do you mean by that label?” That may be an opening for a conversation.

Here is a prayer you can use:

Lord of the Hunt, Lady of the Moon,
Help me deal well with criticism soon.
Support me in my truth.
For my divinity is proof.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
