How Witches Escape Being Stuck in a Dark Life

“Why is this not changing?” I said. I was using Adobe Photoshop to create an image with golden light. But it wasn’t golden. It was puke gray. Is puke ever gray? (It depends on what you eat.)

I recently read a quote:

“Curiosity was my antidote to fear” – Tina Wells

I have three insights for you.

1. Curiosity changes your focus.

How much of your day is run by fear? Are you afraid of arriving late for work?

Do you dread talking to a co-worker who may criticize your work yet again?

Being full of fear is an awful rut.
My friend Stephen works at a terrible job. But he wonders each day, “How will I have a chance to be kind to someone today?”

This gives him purpose. It changes his focus.

Imagine that you hold curiosity. You can change your focus to: “How will there be some good moments today?”

The birth and rebirth of all nature,
The passing of winter and spring,
We share with the life universal,
Rejoice in the magical ring.       – Doreen Valiente

We, witches, can manifest real change.

Imagine that you can cast a spell on your next hour.
What would you like to create in your life?

Would you like to manifest:

  • Prosperity
  • Wealth (prosperity and wealth are not the same. Kristina Kuprina, Founder & CEO, Sequoia Wealth Advisors, explains. “Money is one of the tools you use to build the life you want. Prosperity is your health, your relationships, and your connection to a sense of purpose.”)
  • Fulfillment
  • Change (whether it be in your work life or something else)

We, witches, can create positive change for ourselves and others.

2. Curiosity opens a door.

The author Tom Marcoux says, “Curiosity opens the door to learning.”
Is that true?
And that question is a starting point for my curiosity.

I aim to be curious about many things in my daily life. Curiousness helps me see things I might have not seen before and in a new light. Something scary might become fascinating.

How can curiosity change how you see a situation?

3. Ask the Goddess to support your curiosity.

Here is a prayer you can use.

Goddess,
Release me from being stuck in a rut.
Guide my curiosity to release myself from the mud of life.
Light my path with new insight.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Fill an Inner Need

At night, I cannot eat enough. What?

Have you had this experience? You eat something—something good like a dessert.

Then it’s chips.
Soda.
Cookies.
Cashews.
Peanut butter M&Ms.

(Not you? Am I alone here?)

Recently, I said, “You can’t satisfy an inner need with outer stuff.”

(But I’m willing to try.)

I have three insights for you.

1. What is your inner need?

    Some researchers suggest that we are 95% motivated by things in our subconscious mind.

    So how do you make the subconscious stuff visible to your conscious mind?

    You can meditate and ask the Gods about some of the driving factors.

    But, one of the most important things is to observe your actions.  

    Ever open a cupboard door looking for something to eat?

    You know that hunger—that no matter how much you eat—is never satisfied? Just close that cupboard door.

    It’s Halloween time in the United States. Or for us witches Samhain.
    How do you feel when you see the green-skinned, cackling caricature of a “so-called witch”?

    What does this cackling, green caricature need? Popcorn?

    Chocolate? Definitely chocolate.

    Let’s pull back. Away from that… What could be the inner need?

    Wanting comfort.

    So, how would you like to be comforted?

    (I do rely on my coffee in the morning…)

    2. Step on the path of “centered and whole.”

    Have you attended a ritual with other witches and felt at home?

    Or…

    You’re a solitary witch and your personal ritual came together well. You felt calm, but also invigorated!

    To get to “centered and whole” you need to push away distractions.

    So, what is distracting you?

    3. Ask the Goddess for clarity in the face of distractions.

    To me, cookies, pastries, and other treats are a plea for comfort. What about you?

    Here is a prayer you can use.

    Goddess, clear my mind,
    Free me from the mud of distracting thoughts and feelings.
    Flush me clean with the spring waters of Your love.
    Hold me close with Your arms around me.
    So Mote It Be.

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater

    How Witches Take the Necessary Step to Receive Divine Guidance

    I was 18 years old, and I got married. I was more running away from my parents than running towards a life with my 18-year-old husband. No, I was not pregnant.

    It is decades since my divorce. When I reflect on the process, I realize there is no way forward without letting go of shackles.

    I have three insights for you.

    1. Abandon what is “Not good enough.”

      My parents will keep watching a mediocre film. On the other hand, my current husband will turn to me and ask, “Is this film working for you?” If something is not good enough, he will let it go.

      Is there something or someone in your life that isn’t good enough?

      2. Abandon forcing something.

      When I knew my marriage had to end, I dreaded my parents’ disapproval. Still, I moved forward with ending the marriage.

      But there were months that I tried to force the marriage to work. That was useless.

      Are you trying to force something?

      3. Ask the Gods for intuition.

      I’ve learned to listen to my intuition. This is where I receive Divine Guidance.

      Here is a prayer you can use.

      Lord and Lady,
      Open the door to my intuition,
      Quiet down my fear,
      Help me step forward on my path.
      So mote it be.

      May these insight support your path.

      Blessed Be,
      Moonwater

      How Witches Create Magick — When There’s No Fortune in Their Fortune Cookie

      Oww! It felt like a loss. My fortune cookie was empty. I found no slip of paper that promised, “Your dream will definitely come true.”

      Damn.

      Now what?

      I have three insights for you.

      1. Write your own fortune.

      I wrote my own fortune: “The Gods give us a great fortune including a great car.”
      That’s right. My husband and I need a replacement car.

      I suggest that you write your own fortune. When you write that fortune, it’s like composing a simple magickal spell.

      So, what “fortune” do you want?

      2. Realize that you’re a co-creator with the universe.

      Does the God and Goddess give you good fortune? Yes. And, you need to take action, too.

      “All acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Therefore, let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” ― The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente

      What action do you need to take to move your life forward? What can make your life better?

      3. Ask the Goddess for good fortune.

      Here is a prayer you can use.

      Goddess,
      Guide me to my healthy desires.
      Help me fulfill my destiny,
      Open the doors to good fortune for me.
      So Mote it be.

      May these insights support your path.

      Blessed Be,
      Moonwater

      How Witches Increase Their Well-being – Ep. 308

      Moonwater reveals secrets so you can make a shift in your energy. You can expand your compassion and financial abundance. You learn to create appropriate boundaries that guard your personal power. Your well-being blossoms.

      How Witches Uncover the Hidden Gift

      Just as I got two-thirds of the way across an intersection, a green car raced straight at my car. I floored the accelerator pedal. Crash! The guy’s car smashed into the back of my car.

      This guy had run a red light. Then, he compounded it. He gunned his engine and raced from the scene of the accident. A hit-and-run driver.

      At the ER, that afternoon, I got examined and received medications. I said to the doctor, “I think I’m okay.”

      “You will hurt more tomorrow,” the doctor said.

      A classic idea is: When you endure suffering, there is a gift to be found.

      Really?

      What I got was pain and lost time.

      I have insights for you.

      1. You define the gift.

      At first glance, I could not find anything good connected to the accident. But later, my husband asked me, “You’re the one who defines the gift. What could be a gift to you?”

      I replied, “I think fast on my feet.”

      That was an insight that rose in my thoughts.

      Often, my depression symptoms have me hyper-critical about myself.

      But my quick reaction, which saved my car from major damage was new evidence. Yes. “I think fast on my feet.”

      That’s a good realization. A supportive one to help me through my days.

      Is it possible that you can define a gift after you endure something painful?

      2. Sometimes, the gift is for someone in your circle.

      Have you ever gone through an experience that hurt—but later, you were able to be compassionate toward someone? Perhaps, you were the one person who could understand their pain.

      So, the gift of the suffering might make you a deeper person. Someone more compassionate. You gain wisdom from an experience that you did not want. With such wisdom, you can serve others.

      What suffering in your life can help you or others in the future?

      3. Ask the Goddess for Her insight.

      Here is a prayer you can use.

      Goddess,
      Let my painful experiences
      Be the torch that lights the way
      For me and others to grow this day.
      So Mote It Be.

      May these insights support your path.

      Blessed Be,
      Moonwater
