“I’m ready to give up,” Kerri said. “You have no idea how many awful dates I’ve been on.”

I had a pretty good guess because I heard my friend tell me about the bad ones.

I realize that it can be tough to find the right life partner. I endured going through a divorce.

Over the years, I’ve learned to be quite specific about building a good relationship. My sweetheart and I are together for nearly 22 years.

I have three insights for you.

1. Get clearer on what’s necessary to build a life together.

About eight years ago my sweetheart had a conversation with a friend. My sweetheart shared this idea: “In a life partner look for two things: Someone who is kind and flexible.”

What do you want in a relationship?

Here is an exercise you can do.

On a sheet of paper, create two columns by drawing a line in the middle.  

On the left, write the heading of Desired. On the right, write Undesired.

Now write two lists.

For example…

Desired                               Undesired

Funny                                  Mean

Flexible                               Rigid

Kind                                    Frustrates easily

Respectful         

Attractive

I have a question: “Is this a grape or a watermelon?” When I compare the items on the two lists, I choose which label per item.  The Grape and Watermelon Scale is about the importance of one thing over another. The watermelon is big and important. The grape is of little importance.

For example…

Desired                               Undesired

Funny – g                            Mean – w

Flexible – w                        Rigid – w

Kind – w                             Frustrates easily – w

Respectful – w  

Attractive – g

Now you can see which items on the list are most important to you.

2. Embody What You Hope to Find in Your Life Partner.

When looking for a life partner, it is good to embody the traits you are looking for. Why? It’s because “like attracts like.” Kind people attract each other. Funny people find each other enjoyable … and so on. I realize that opposites can attract. Still, I suggest embodying your values. 

3. Invite the Goddess and God to Shine on Your Path for Lifelong Love.

You can ask the Goddess and the God to help you find true love.

Finding the Right Life Partner Prayer

Gods give me Your grace and Your passions,
Lend me Your strength and Your focus.
Light my path so my journey be an easy one
That I may find a life partner who is my true fit.
Like a hand to a glove, like a magnet to iron 
May I find my true life partner.
And let us rejoice and be joined in Your names.
So as I will so mote it be!

 May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“Since I moved out of the state I grew up in, I’ve felt … well … lonely,” a friend, Norma, said.

“I hear you,” I replied. “It can be hard to connect with people who are on the same wavelength.”

“Work doesn’t help me. I don’t really connect with those people there.”

I reflected on this and talked with a spiritual elder.

A number of things are involved in attracting good people. For one thing, we need to take care of ourselves, so we have good energy, and we show that we are welcoming.

Here is a prayer to help with that.

Find Friends Prayer

Lovely Lady and Glorious Lord,

Let me be a magnet to meet the right new people.

May I radiate good energy all around me.

I will find new friends easily now.

New friends will be drawn to me like moths to my light.

May joy and lightheartedness be my path,

With people of like mind and heart.

So mote it be.

 

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“So much to learn and so many tests for my new job,” my friend, Ellen, said.

“Sounds like a lot of pressure,” I replied.

“How do we use an appropriate magickal spell in a situation like this?” she asked.

I looked into the process.

Here’s the Spell for Learning a New Subject for Work or School

This is a simple candle-lighting ritual that you can do on a waxing or full moon.

 What you will need:

• 1 Yellow Candle
• Drawing oil (you can use extra virgin olive oil)
• Your study supplies (books, notes, pen, or pencils)
• An altar to set them on (a simple table will do)
• Jasmine incense
• Candleholder
• Incense burner

Set your study supplies on the altar/table.

Cast Your Circle.

Cleanse and consecrate all your items by doing the following…

Bless the Incense

Hold your incense in your power hand, which is your dominant hand.

Say:

I bless this incense so that it is pure and clean, that it has the power to cleanse all that passes through its holy smoke.

Light your incense and say:

So mote it be.

Bless the Salt

Hold the salt in your power hand and say:

I bless this salt so that it is pure and clean. So mote it be!

Take three pinches of salt and sprinkle this amount in the spring water. Mix the salt and water with your index finger and say:

I bless this holy water so that it is able to cleanse all that it touches. So mote it be!

Asperge (sprinkle with the holy water) the candle with the holy water and say:

I cleanse you of all negativity.

Next, waft the smoke of the blessed incense around your candle and say:

I bless you for the good of all.

You have now cleansed and consecrated your candle.

Using the drawing oil, rub from the top of the candle to the base of it.

Put the candle in its holder. Place it in front of you. Meditate on what your subject is and then light the candle and say:

I ask you, Element of Air, that you be with me while I study.

May the material I need to know be blended into my mind, into my thoughts.

And be known to me during recall.

Light the candle and then take your study material and focus and study till the candle burns itself out … and longer if needed.

After your study session, do the Cakes and Wine ceremony.

Close Your Circle.

May this process support your path.

“It’s not fair. This daily pain is draining my energy. And with all this pressure, I need more energy—not less!” my friend, Andrea, said.

“I hear you. Pain can be truly draining,” I said.

Later in a conversation with one of my spiritual elders, I realized that healing and pain have several layers.

1. Hear the message of the pain

If your pain could talk with you, what would it say? What might it teach you?

Sometimes, pain shows up and says, “Slow down” or “Pay attention.” Or “Now is not the time.”

Often, pain carries a message for us to pay attention to something specific. Consider meditating and “asking the pain” what you need to know. It could be as simple as “Stop lifting heavy boxes.” It could be saying, “Your current job isn’t good for you.”

Pay attention to the intuitive thoughts and feelings you encounter.

2. Make space to adjust your daily routine to accommodate your pain.

When I am suffering from pain, I know I need more sleep. It’s time for me to pay attention to how much and what I eat.

Most of all, I need to slow down.

I invite you to realize that it’s okay to take time for yourself. We all need it.

How can you devote time to taking good care of yourself?

3. Invite healing and the Goddess’ support.

Another important step is to invite the Goddess in for healing and support. The God and Goddess are always here for you. They desire to be part of your life. They want to support you to manifest your best self.

The God and Goddess stand by us all our lives. Even through the tough parts. Sometimes, the tough passages of life are necessary for us to learn certain insights.

Here is a candle spell for healing.

A Candle Healing Spell

Be sure to do this Candle Lighting Ritual on a waxing moon.

What you will need.

• Your altar
• A fireproof surface (perhaps, a plate) on top of your altar
• Your tools (candles, pentagram, taper, athame, etc.)
• Your written script of “words of power” (perhaps, a small prayer or rhyme talking about how you are now healed)
• A script to cast your circle
• One blue candle
• Candleholder
• Dressing oil (you can use plain olive oil if you do not have any)
• Cakes and wine or juice for the ritual
• A fireproof container
• a photo of yourself

To cast the Candle Spell:

1) Cast your circle.

2) Flip your photo over to the blank side. Asperge (sprinkle with holy water) lightly on the back of the photo. Be careful with the photo so the image is not ruined.

Then cense the photo, that is, waft incense smoke around it.

3) Asperge the blue candle, and cense it.

4) Dress your candle

Dressing the candle is the process of putting your desire into the candle. Envision your desire for healing. Rub anointing oil (olive oil will suffice) on the candle. Spread the oil from the top of the candle to the bottom.

5) State the purpose then charge the candle.

You state the purpose of using the candle.

Lord and Lady, guide healing energy to me.

Send healing energy into the candle by holding it in your hands and drawing energy up through the earth, through you, and into the candle. The process of drawing energy up consists of visualizing energy (you might imagine energy strands) rising from the earth into your feet and so on.

6) Place your photo on the pentagram on your altar.

7) Place the candle in its holder on the photo. Use the taper to light the candle from the working candle.

8) Look at the flame of the candle while concentrating on your desire to heal yourself. Take your time with this step. This is a great moment to chant any words of power (if you have written some). Remember, these words of power could be a small prayer or rhyme talking about how you are now healed.

9) Keep focusing the energy into the flame of the candle and the photo under it. Focusing energy means that you continue concentrating on the flame. You focus your thoughts on the intention that you are healing.

10) Allow the candle to burn down completely. Warning: Be sure to place the burning candle in a fire-safe container (or, perhaps, in a cast-iron bathtub or sink). Make sure you do not burn the photo! Avoid leaving the burning candle unattended.

11) After the spell is finished, do the Cakes and Wine (or juice) ritual.

12) Close your circle.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“It’s been a one-two punch. First the breakup and now the layoff. I’m hit bad,” Jinny, a friend, said.

It’s hard to carry on when life hits us with multiple blows. At certain times, I turn to the Tarot. I like to think of the Phoenix when I get a certain Tarot card called “Judgment.”

I realize that “Judgment” may sound harsh. Fortunately, when I view that card, I think about transformation.

Soon after talking with Jinny, I had a conversation with a spiritual elder. This elder shared an idea that people tend to take a journey beginning from powerless to empowered … and then with careful attention … to enlightened.

Here are three insights.

1. See if you’re being called to rise from “empowered” to “enlightened.”

How are things going for you? Do you feel pushed around? Did something happen that knocked you down?

Or perhaps, things are going better. You’ve developed new skills, and you are empowered. You may feel that you have acted like a Phoenix who rose from the ashes.

I’ve noticed that life is a series of chapters. Surprisingly, it can feel heavy to be “empowered.” You may feel that you’re weighed down by all of the responsibilities that require your efforts, skills, and empowerment.

Fortunately, you can make a transition to something that gives you some freedom. You can transition to enlightened.

2. Tune into the “lighten” part of enlightened.

What is enlightened? Part of it is to reach beyond your “small self,” which some people call “the ego.”

You have a Spiritual Self that is one with the Gods.

That’s how you get to “enlightened.” Your divine self and the Gods are bigger, stronger, and wiser than your ego.

How do you access your Spiritual Self? Through meditation sessions, rituals, and prayers.

So, talk with the Gods. They know your burdens and your struggles to be empowered.

3. Invite the Goddess to help you lighten up your journey.

Here is a prayer so you can invite the Goddess to lighten your load.

Prayer for Lightening the Load

Goddess of the Stars
Lighten up my scars
Let me be unburdened now,
Gracious Goddess show me how.
Sun and moon lighten my journey,
Release my load in a hurry.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
