How Witches Stand Through the Light and Darkness

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments

“Fire and water are contrasts. One is hot, the other is cold. One dries out, the other moistens,” I said.

“Could it be that an obsessive focus on ‘being positive’ can cause trouble?” my friend, Alicia, asked.

Now, I was intrigued.

“Yesterday,” she continued. “I took a blow to my heart. I discovered that my friend Susan is someone I cannot rely on. She is really stepping away from me. Like she’s become just an acquaintance.”

I saw the deep sadness on Alicia’s face.

“Then, I talked with you,” Alicia said. “You are a true friend. I am so grateful. So I learned something by contrasts.”

As a witch, do you focus on only having positive experiences?

Or do you flow with life as it goes?

Here is a prayer you can use:

Goddess,
Show me the way to clarity in my life.
For I cannot know Your light without understanding Your deep shadows.
Help me balance Your brilliance with Your darkness for my good and the good of all.
So mote it be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Navigate Negative People – Ep. 330

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-chcfa-1834090

How to Let Go of Being Disappointed in Yourself (a Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“I should take better care of myself,” I told my friend, Alicia.
This happened after a gaming night in which I ate too many delicious and sugary foods.
(What’s a gaming night for, anyway?)
I was disappointed in myself.

Do you relate to this?

I have two insights for you.

1. If you’re disappointed, you’re judging yourself.

    Is it really possible to take one parent to a doctor’s appointment, one’s spouse to work, get the grocery shopping done, edit a video for a YouTube channel, and … so on and so forth … in one afternoon?

    Are you judging yourself on a standard that is not kind and not even possible?

    Instead, imagine you’re thinking about your best friend. Would you cut that person some slack? You’re likely not judging them in such a harsh way.

    As a witch, are you disappointed with yourself for not meditating, not doing the right rituals, or meeting with members of your coven?

    2. Ask the Goddess to help you release yourself from harsh judgments.

    You can use a prayer like this.

    Goddess,
    Help me release my judgments of myself.
    Raise me up from the disappointment in myself.  
    Show me my Divine Self.
    So Mote It Be

    May these insights support your path.

    How Witches Unleash a Hidden Power

    / Moonwater / 2 Comments

    “Thank you for apologizing,” my husband said. Earlier, I had been grouchy and snappy.

    This moment was a good one for me. He continued to praise me for my kindness.

    Later, I reflected on this.

    I wondered about when I praise anyone.

    Frequently, I praise my husband. It’s important to praise your partner.

    As a High Priestess or Priest, it is important to praise your coven members.

    I have one particular insight for you.

    Choose to praise someone, and you will nurture them like the sun. And, they grow toward the sun.

    If you love someone, praise them.

    To be a good influence at work, carefully praise someone.

    Here’s a prayer:
    Goddess,
    Guide me to praise people
    So they grow aligned with their divinity.
    So Mote It Be.

    May these insights support your path.

    End the Stranglehold of Guilt (a Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / Leave a comment

    “I don’t think I take good enough care of my husband and parents,” I shared with my friend, Alicia.

    She kept listening.

    I had a thought. These guilty ideas strangle me. They keep me away from being present in this current moment. My focus is reduced to pain … instead of the divinity the Goddess placed within me.

    I have a particular insight for you.

    “One sentence solves guilt: If I knew then what I know now, I would have done things differently. … Guilt is in the past, and the one thing you cannot change is the past.” – Dr. Edith Eger

    So, divinity is in this present moment.

    Now what?

    I realize that I can use a twinge from an idea of guilt.

    I can ask, “So I didn’t like how what I did in the past turned out. What can I do now? What is a different approach now?”

    Here is a prayer you can use:

    Goddess, show me my true path.
    Give me guidance and lead me forward.
    Release me from guilty thoughts,
    Replace them with inspiration.
    So Mote It Be.

    May these ideas support your path.

    Blessed Be,

    How Witches Know When to Walk Toward the Fear

    / Moonwater / 4 Comments

    Terrified. That was the right word. I stood in front of the audience about to give my first speech at a Toastmasters meeting.

    It did not matter that other people would speak after me. They would be nervous, too.

    My own fear made me shake.

    Speaking aloud in front of an audience had not gone well in my past. I remembered reading a paragraph aloud in a high school English class. My dyslexia made me sound like an idiot.

    The teacher said, “Okay that’s enough.”

    Fellow student, Joe Jerk-face said, “Yeah! That’s enough!”

    And now at Toastmasters, I was about to give a speech. Crap!

    I said, “I couldn’t breathe. My brother held me underwater. Why would he torture a little girl? When I coughed up the water, the swimming pool didn’t look like a place to play. How much more of this life could I survive?” A few minutes in, I saw two people nod. (Oh, thank you! Good humans!)

    After I finished. Some applause.

    All good.

    Even better. I was proud of myself. I had walked toward my fear.

    Later, I went on to be a guest speaker – over 12 times – at a Comparative Religion college course to introduce people to Wicca. That was new for them. It still was a tough stretch for me to talk to an audience but … again and again … I walked toward the fear.

    Here are three insights.

    1. Keep yourself safe.

      Number one. Keep yourself safe. Can you get physically hurt if you take on a risk?
      David, someone in my circle, was a movie stuntman over 20 years ago. Would he risk his health or life today? No f***ing way!

      Still, he took precautions during his stuntman time. He also refused to do certain stunts. And, he’s alive to tell the tale.

      Are you thinking of taking a risk that could hurt you physically? Like walking in a dangerous area? Just after the bars close? Hold up! Stay safe.

      2. Decide what you value most. Drop the distractions.

      Other risks may mean temporary pain.
      So, high school kids laughed at my reading a paragraph. I still adapt to having dyslexia.

      But, you know what? Who cares about high school kids’ laughter?!

      I have to value your opinion in order to let it control me.

      What do you value most? Is it growing as a person? Pushing beyond some artificial limits?

      When do you feel most alive?

      3. Ask Goddess for support.

      When I have walked toward fear, I was answering the call of divinity that Goddess placed within me.

      Here is a prayer you can use:

      Goddess, help me answer the call,
      Help me know the true call from the false call.
      Show me how to walk into the unknown with Your strength.
      So Mote It Be.

      May these insights support your journey.

      Blessed Be,
      Moonwater
