Design Your Life Instead of Fall into Default (a Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 4 Comments

Every morning, I use a small table to do my ritual … unless the night before, some stuff was left on the small table. Then it’s like the table has radiation. And, I fail to do my ritual.

Researchers talk about “willpower fatigue.” The idea is that if there is a block of some sort, many of us just will not do our “chores.” We lose our willpower. That’s why so many people exercise in the morning and not after work … when they’re tired.

How about you? Do you make prayer, ritual, and meditation a priority?

I remember a professor who had a cylinder container. He asked the college students, “How much can fit in here?”

He put big rocks in first. Then, he asked his students, “Is the container full?” Then he poured gravel in. He asked again, “Is it full now?” Then sand. Finally, water.

The point I get from this is … we, witches, would do well to make prayer, ritual, and meditation the “big rocks.”

Remember that prayer, ritual, and meditation are the foundation of your spiritual practice.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Are We Entering Another Burning Times?

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“I can’t believe what President Dumbdumb just did,” one of my friends said.

“I know. I can’t buy eggs, anymore,” my other friend Sarah said.

“And it looks like there is going to be legislation against certain spiritual paths,” my friend said.

I reflected on this.

During the Burning Times, what did our ancestors think about such awful circumstances?

I considered that we must do what we can and hold strong in faith.

Here is a prayer you can use.

Goddess,
Help me endure like my ancestors did.
No matter what stupidity or viciousness I and my brothers and sisters shall face.
The Gods are with us!
So Mote It Be

May you stay surefooted on the path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Avoid Screwing Up Their Magick

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

When was the last time you were angry? I mean, really angry.

Drivers that almost cause accidents. That’s a hot button for me.

Injury or death. For no reason—except the troublesome driver is unskillful or rude—or both.

So, I was simply driving. Then an idiot driver cut me off. Causing Danger. Now I’m tossed into a “hot state.”

A definition: “Hot states are characterized by high levels of emotion, where individuals are more likely to act impulsively and make decisions based on their immediate feelings rather than long-term consequences.”

Warning: Do not do magick when stuck in a hot state. You can make rash decisions that you normally wouldn’t make.

Here are hot state triggers: anger, hunger, fear, pain, sexual arousal, and strong cravings.

Here’s the Big, Important Idea: When you notice that you are triggered, stop. Cool down. Make a good decision to wait before you do any form of magick.

Also, remember the Threefold Law. If you do magick while you’re angry, you could cause damage … that could be slammed back at you with three times the intensity or more.

Here’s a chant you can use to cool down. You can replace “anger” with any other unhelpful emotion.

Anger, anger, flee from me!
Clear my mind for me to see.
Unhelpful emotions fade away,
You don’t trouble me today.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Gain Strength and Support Their Willpower

“This administration is making me gain weight,” my friend Irma said. She was reacting to more bad news about prices going up. Irma stopped buying eggs because the prices were too high.

I reflected on this. There might be some leeway between the bad news and Irma’s reaction.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor Frankl

We, witches, realize that so much of life is about energy.
It takes energy to be patient.
It takes energy to make a good decision.

“Willpower isn’t just a skill. It’s a muscle, like the muscles in your arms or legs, and it gets tired as it works harder, so there’s less power left over for other things.” – Charles Duhigg

Charles Duhigg is referring to “willpower fatigue.”

Here is a powerful idea: You can call on the Gods to strengthen you in the space between bad news and negative action.

Here is a prayer that you can use.

Lord of the Hunt, Lady of the Moon
Strengthen me to pause and pray
To make my willpower come to stay
Let fatigue fall like leaves from a tree,
May I be strong and free.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Handle Criticism

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments

“Your film doesn’t work. It’s really two different films,” said four people in my friend Sacha’s circle.

“I don’t know what to do,” she told me.

“Do your friends want what’s best for you?” I asked.

“Yes. I trust them. I know them,” Sacha replied.

I realized that the first question about facing criticism is:  “Does the person want good things for you?”

I’ve noticed that some people just can’t handle it if you share a deep part of yourself with them. I felt heartbroken when I shared with one particular friend that I am a witch. As soon as she knew this, she left my life.

A couple of days later, Sacha posted her film on YouTube, despite her friends’ criticism.

Nothing bad happened. Her friends stood by her. And, 200 people saw the film, with no conflicting comments.

Here’s another point about criticism. I realized that people who left my life when they found out I am a witch really did not know what a witch is!

They had unfounded prejudices. So, this second point is: Do not accept criticism from people who do not know what they’re talking about.

I recall that an elder, Don Frew, mentioned: “When someone talks about a witch or pagan, ask them, ‘What do you mean by that label?” That may be an opening for a conversation.

Here is a prayer you can use:

Lord of the Hunt, Lady of the Moon,
Help me deal well with criticism soon.
Support me in my truth.
For my divinity is proof.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
