Yesterday, I turned just the wrong way and wrenched my back. What the hell?!
Can you relate to this? Does life seem to keep throwing surprise trouble at you?
I have three insights for you.
Do you have friends who pretend that they don’t have any troubles? Do you believe them?
Have you noticed that trying to suppress your feelings does not help?
If you drive the thoughts out of your conscious mind, they go underground.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” – Carl Jung
One way to notice what bothers you on the unconscious level is to note what irritates you in other people.
So let’s look at side-stepping the act of suppression.
Instead, acknowledge it.
Here’s an example: “Oww. My back hurts. What can I do to ease the pain?”
You can also include praying, meditating for the answer, or doing a ritual to clear your path.
But what if the issue is more severe?
A step can help you rise to another level in your spiritual path of learning and growing.
On the other hand, a curse is something else. It can be rare.
Here are some ways to detect if something is a curse.
These are just some of the signs that you may have been cursed. I have a simple ritual that can help (Click here.)
Sometimes it’s a really good idea just to pause and ask the God and Goddess, “What’s this about? What am I supposed to learn here?”
Many times, you face a lesson in disguise. Talk to the Gods through prayer or meditation. Click here for the Meet the God and Goddess Meditation.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Create Who They Want to Become. – Ep 254


“I don’t understand. I finally have a good conversation with my father. But this morning, I woke up from a nightmare that included him being mean,” my friend, Fred. said. “What the hell does this mean?”
“It means you want to know what the key to your dreams is,” I replied.
I have three insights for you.
Imagine you had a dream in which there were a bunch of rats. Terrifying, right?
Not to me. I’ve had about 20 domesticated pet rats that have brightened my life. This relates to the key to your dreams. You are the key to your dreams. A lot of us would like to hear definitive answers as to what certain symbols might mean in our dreams. I’ve learned that each individual has an individual meaning for what arises in their dream.
What is most important to you?
What bothers you?
What has you baffled right now?
Certain researchers and authors suggest that your subconscious mind gives you messages in your dreams. Perhaps.
And, perhaps, there’s more to it than that.
The God and Goddess can show up in your dreams. They can leave symbols and messages in them. It can be truly hard to decipher the real meaning of the Gods’ appearances or the messages that They have provided you. Witches often rely on divination tools so that they can explore possible meanings. It’s easy to be impatient when we try to decipher our dreams and meanings. Witches discover that certain themes come up over a lifetime as they walk their spiritual path.
What themes? Forgiveness. Be strong. Celebrate your individuality. Show compassion to yourself and others.
Do any of these themes speak to you?
Just before you complete your day and go to sleep, you can say this prayer.
My Lady of the Silver Moon
Grant me the insight to understand
My dreams and their symbols.
May my understanding lead to joy and peace.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Let Go of Pushing and Welcome Peace – Ep. 253

“My birthday crashed, burned, and then drowned,” I told my friend, Fred.
I wasn’t done.
“My favorite glass water bottle broke. A family member torpedoed my dinner. And my weigh scale was a bastard!”
Have you recently had a brutal day?
It’s worse on a special day like a birthday or anniversary.
I have three insights for you.
Have you had a perfect day?
A friend responded, “Who has?”
Even milestone days like a wedding have something go wrong.
The bride’s mother threw up.
The ring-bearing little girl took a tumble down the center aisle.
What do we do with this stuff?
We expand our perspective. It’s like looking at the whole horizon.
In Silicon Valley, California, there is a haze of smog.
Still, we see some blue in the sky and the sun is out… on a number of days.
What are the Gods trying to teach you?
An old idea is: “The lesson is repeated until you pay attention. And learn it.”
My first husband was a liar. He used food money on video games – but he had plenty of food because he ate out.
I learned to get strength from Wicca, and I got a divorce.
What lesson can you pull from tough times?
Here is a prayer you can use.
Goddess,
Help me emphasize the good moments of this day.
Help move past the turbulent moments.
Give me insight.
Give me hope.
Give me peace.
I deeply appreciate Your guidance and Love.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Support Their Friendships – Ep. 252
“It’s good news, right?” my friend, Sarah, asked.
I nodded.
“Then, why don’t you look happy?”
“I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop,” I said.
Have you had this experience?
I have three insights for you.
Know when you sow your seeds, you are intending good things to happen. We tend our seeds and watch them grow. Even if what grows isn’t what we expected.
We do have some influence over events. We do not control them. But a number of times, we can put in some positive spellwork, and it does yield something good.
When you look for the harvest, realize that what blossoms may be hard-earned wisdom. So the situation didn’t turn out the way you preferred. But now you’re stronger and wiser.
I’ve thought about this. My tendency to “wait for the other shoe to drop” is a form of protecting myself. If I do not hope too much, I think I will avoid the big pain of disappointment.
A friend of mine, Marina, had a lump in her breast. She was understandably worried. But she tried to postpone worry till she had more information.
Later she found out it was a benign cyst. She was relieved! Here is the bonus. Marina avoided losing too much time sitting in worry. She kept telling herself, “I’ll just wait until the data is in. Until the test results are in.” Marina taught herself that until she heard otherwise, she would stay in the positive.
You can use this prayer.
A Prayer for Self-Compassion
Goddess, support me to direct my thoughts.
I let go of worry about the other shoe may drop.
I stay in the positive unless I hear otherwise.
I know you, Goddess, support me to learn
What is best for me
In the timing that is best for me.
Thank you.
So mote it be.
May these insights support your journey.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
