How Witches Deal with Someone Who Won’t Hear Them

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“My sister just won’t stop for a minute to hear me out,” Milly, a new acquaintance, said.

“She has all these judgments about me and my faith. She doesn’t see me as a person. It’s like she’s talking to her projection of what she thinks I might be.”

I reflected on this.

Here are two insights that might help you.

1. You push, and they push back.

    Ever try to explain your faith to someone? And, they just push back. Telling you that you’re wrong and that they know—better than you—what your spiritual path is.

    Arrogant, right?

    You push facts, and they push fiction.
    But what does the pushing get?
    Nothing good.

    2. Invite the Gods to help you lower your “intensity.”

    Have you noticed that when someone says unfair and ignorant things against you, it’s your internal “intensity” that rises?

    Here is a prayer that you can use to help you lower your intensity.

    I breathe in and bring in the love of the Gods.
    I breathe out and let go of my anxiety.
    I breathe in and bring in clarity.
    I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
    I breathe in calm.
    I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
    I breathe in peace within my integrity.
    I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
    May the Gods bless me.
    So Mote It Be

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,

    How to Break a Trance and Have Goddess Protect You – Ep. 349

    / Moonwater / 2 Comments

    https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-6hn57-190e6dd

    Moonwater reveals how witches and others are being pushed by cultural forces and marketers. We’re being shoved into trances—times when we lose conscious control over our actions. Witches CAN call upon the Goddess for true support in these troubling times.

    When Goddess Speaks of Freedom from Fear…

    / Moonwater / 1 Comment

    Have you noticed people in your circle who avoid trying to do something creative?

    Are they stopped by…

    • Fear of disappointment?
    • Fear of judgment?

    What if you had freedom from either concern or both?

    “First, they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then it’s the way we always have done it.” – attributed to Mahatma Gandhi

    So, about fear of disappointment or judgment … it can be a form of slavery.

    “Ye shall be free from slavery … keep pure your highest ideals, strive ever towards it.” – The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

    What is fear stopping you from trying or creating? We’re talking about something positive and good for all involved.

    This reminds me of a phrase to add to a ritual: “For my benefit and the benefit of all involved.”

    “For My Law is love unto all beings.” – The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

    Just imagine that the Goddess is reassuring us that Her love is stronger than fear.

    Many blessings on your path.

    Blessed Be,

    Missing Closeness in Relationships – See What Goddess Points To … (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / Leave a comment

    “I don’t think she cares anymore,” my friend, Bert, said of his wife.

    I reflected on this.

    Bert, like many men, places all the burden of emotional support on his wife.

    It’s heavy!

    A comedian noted that when a wife dies, the man falls apart.

    However, when the man dies, the widow carries on with grace because she has a group of women to support her.

    I thought about this. The Goddess directs our attention to nature.

    I have two insights for you.

    1. In an ecosystem, each being plays a role.

    I like sharks. Now, do I want to swim with them? – No!

    There was a book called How to Swim with the Sharks…

    No thanks. I’ll swim in a swimming pool.

    But sharks, the coral reef, lionfish, sea turtles, and sea anemones all play a role.

    So, if you want more closeness in a relationship, make sure you have an ecosystem – that is, a community.

    Then, you can relieve the relationship of some emotional burden.

    You can come back together refreshed and open to your special bond.

    2. The Goddess revels in Her Three Phases.

    The God respects the Goddess. And She respects Herself.

    We, witches, find grace and peace when we flow through our phases.

    I think about my teen years. My face had no creases.

    But I’ll celebrate my wisdom right now.

    How about you?

    Are you finding your personal value in the phase of life you’re in now?

    May these insights support your path.

    When There is No Hope, Goddess Shows You… Ep. – 347

    / Moonwater / Leave a comment

    https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-hu9y3-18fd080

    Moonwater reveals how the Goddess directs light on what is possible for you. Even in the darkest moments, you can learn to see the Goddess’s perspective and support.

    3 Signs You Are on the Right Path (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / 2 Comments

    At fourteen years old, I met the God and Goddess. It was a big surprise. Especially because I was on a retreat for a “conventional religious path.” The retreat leaders sent the attendees into the forest to have quiet time alone. (Well! They would have been surprised to hear about MY experience.)

    I didn’t see the God and Goddess. I felt Their Prescence. The big difference was that my depression symptoms quieted down. Peace flowed over me.

    Every day, my depression symptoms were like a rake clawing my arm. (But worse.)

    Then, when the God and Goddess appeared … it was like I let out a big, cleansing sigh.

    I have three insights for you.

    Here are signs that you’re on the right path …

    1. The Gods introduce themselves to you.

      In my experience and that of others I know, the Gods appear in the time of silence. Some people get “auditory Guidance.”

      My friend, Tiana, gets an “intuitive zing” up her back.

      From experience, she knows that the Gods are supporting her and guiding her.

      2. You see signs of affirmation.

      Imagine you actually see signs that you’re on the right path.

      You may see certain animals that represent the God and the Goddess. Perhaps, you’ll see a mature buck, raven, owl, white heron, or hawk. These animals are good signs that the Gods are guiding you.

      3. You have a knowing or intuitive sense of what to do.

      Sometimes, the Gods lead you through your intuition.

      The first time I encountered a book about Wicca in a bookstore (I miss you Borders!) … I felt like I was coming home.

      You may observe nature and feel a direct connection to something going on in your mundane life.

      Have you suddenly felt relief? – like a weight lifted from your shoulder?

      Or has your chest felt warm and full?

      It can be different for each individual.

      What we do observe is that one often needs to “go quiet” and “make space” for the knowing to appear.

      Learning the Craft is a path.

      Do you feel at home on this path?

      May these insights support your journey.

      Blessed Be,

      How Witches Deal with the Dark Moments – Ep. 346

      / Moonwater / Leave a comment

      https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-a559q-18f1776

      Moonwater reveals the secret choice point that gets you out of misery during the dark moments of your life. Hint: It is about making a shift. Learn a prayer that brings you Divine Support.

      A Secret about Happiness—Or a Miserable Life (a Witch’s Perspective)

      / Moonwater / 2 Comments

      “I don’t have any success,” my friend, Samantha, said flatly.

      “What about how you’re taking good care of your ailing parents? That’s work,” I said.

      “That’s not work. Work is only when you get paid,” Samantha said.

      “You know, there are people who get paid as assistants to old people,” I said.

      Samantha just frowned.

      I reflected on this.

      Samantha is often miserable.

      Why? One reason may be about her definitions, which are like knives that she uses to cut herself.

      What about your definitions?

      How do you define success? Or even happiness.

      So many of us live in the space of “only when I can…”

      How does this sound?

      “I’ll be happy only when I can have no worries about the future.”

      Good luck with that.

      Researchers note that approximately 85% of what people say they worry about does NOT happen.

      But what does occur? A bunch of people being miserable moment-to-moment … How? They’re living in their worries.

      And their definitions are, by default, set up so they can never win.

      What are examples of a self-defeating definition?

      • “Success is only making a lot of money.”
      • “Work is only if you are paid.”  (That means getting groceries for your family means nothing?!!)

      We, witches, look to nature for guidance. We know that we live through seasons. Spring follows Winter. The forest burned by fire can have new growth.

      What is another definition of success? “I choose what is meaningful to me. I take action, and something valuable gets done.”

      A happy life appreciates seasons, and we go through chapters of our lives. Some chapters are tough. And then, like the seasons, we can experience renewal.

      What definition would help you on your path?

      Blessed Be.
