Moonwater reveals a hidden aspect of true strength. You learn to shift your identity so you’re not fragile and afraid to say, “I was wrong.” Ask Goddess to support you.
How to Make the Light Return to Your Eyes – A Witch’s Perspective
“My mom died, and the world feels twisted,” my friend Sarah said.
I listened a lot to Sarah.
I reflected on this. Life hits us hard. It’s easy to go dark and get bitter.
Instead, I direct my focus on repeatedly bringing the light back to my eyes.
How about you? Do you want to recover from the dark times?
I have three insights for you.
1. Focus on words that elevate.
Sarah felt regret. She remembered times when she just needed to have quiet time to herself, and she did not visit her mother. Her job is extreme. She had to have recovery time to avoid getting physically sick.
Something that helped was when I said, “Your Mom would like to see you keep going for your dreams.”
Sarah said, “Yes. You’re right. Thank you.”
How about you? When has someone said something positive that helped you carry on?
2. Make space to “feel it all.”
When I feel pain, I remember that to feel the good feelings I need to avoid going numb.
I realize it can be good to “feel it all” … sadness, joy, fear, and courage.
When you feel it all, you can let the tough feelings stay and then go.
“I [The Goddess] give knowledge of the spirit eternal, and beyond death I give peace and freedom,” The Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente
Some spiritual elders mention that when we suffer losses, it is like we suffer “little deaths.” The child becomes a teenager. The time of childhood has died, and the teen is the butterfly who carries on. Then, we transform beyond the teenager.
To grow, we learn the value of “feel it all.” Beyond sadness and suffering is peace and freedom. How? When we integrate what we learn on our path as witches.
Do you make space to “feel it all”?
3. Ask Goddess for renewal.
You can use a prayer like this.
Goddess,
Guide me to renewal.
Just like the Yule Time, when the God brings light, laughter, and love to the land,
Help me rise again.
Restore the light in my eyes.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Make Meaning that Actually Helps Them
“If I clear this floor of clutter, what do I get?” my husband asked.
“A clear floor,” I replied.
“What else?”
“My admiration.”
“That’s it,” he said.
“What?”
“The meaning. You make the meaning,” he concluded.
I reflected on this. Being a witch means a lot to me.
It means that I am a child of the Goddess. It’s about being in touch with the natural world around me. …. And more ….
How about you? Where is the meaning in your life?
Here are three insights.
1. Find your best choices.
“You make me happy,” I exclaimed to my cat.
He looked at me confused.
Okay. So, he did not major in the English language.
Does my cat make me happy?
We could say that my interactions with my cat “set the stage” for my experience of happy feelings.
My point is that relying on external events for happiness may be a road to trouble. How?
Often, we cannot control external events. But we can make choices for the small joys in life … That’s my cat!
What are the small joys in your life?
2. Witness how you make meaning.
A girl, Cheryl, is tormented by her older brother. Does she take that as a sign that everything in the world is unreliable and awful?
A different girl, Molly, is tormented by her older brother. But then she asks her parents for karate lessons. Then, she defends herself against her brother. Molly became formidable.
The same first situation. Different meanings and different actions.
How do you make meaning in your own life?
3. Let the Goddess guide you to your Higher Meaning.
You can use a prayer like this.
Goddess,
Lead me to my Higher Meaning.
Guide me on my path.
Clear away useless distractions.
So Mote it be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Shift from Upside Down to Inside Out – Ep. 318
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-bz92d-1773ace
Moonwater reveals the process and power of shifting from internal pain to a deeper connection with the Goddess and the Universe. A tremendous relief happens as one shifts from feeling alone and upside down. Learn a path from pain to connection.
How to Lift Your Life from “Ruined” – a Witch’s Perspective
Divorce. I didn’t want it. My hopes were crushed. More than that, my soul was crushed under my then-husband’s constant berating.
Sometimes, it feels like life “comes for us.” Divorce. Death of a loved one. Job loss. Loss of a close friend.
What do you do when you feel your life has been ruined by some tough life event?
I have three insights for you.
1. Face the trouble; gather support.
I had been married for seven years. I had no idea what would be next. Would my parents take me back? Because I had nowhere to go, even for a brief time?
I was also losing my identity. I had wanted to be a life mate. Someone who loved and was loved.
Now, this was all gone.
But things were worse. I had no support. I was buried in depression symptoms. I had no energy. I could not even think of getting help. Also, I did not see any older people who demonstrated compassion or wisdom (Later, I would have spiritual elders.)
If I could go back and give counsel to my younger self, I would say, “Gather support.” Seek the help of mental health professionals. Seek appropriate spiritual elders. Develop your own self-renewing activities like meditation, exercise (like walking in nature), good nutrition, and sleep.
About “face the trouble”… I did not deny the pain, suffering, and trouble. I did not put a pretty bow on the trouble and call it “a challenge.” No. It was a painful trauma. I needed to grow, stretch, and endure.
How?
Gather support.
In my circle, people I know step forward and make changes.
- One friend had to try four chiropractors before finding one who was a match.
- Another friend had to see four doctors before hearing about sinus rinse. The other doctors pushed antibiotics. This friend, with a daily sinus rinse, has avoided sinus infections for 15 years.
- Another friend “fired” her psychotherapist. Then, she was truly happy with the next therapist she met and worked with.
So, gathering support may require multiple steps.
What can you do to gather support to help you endure a terrible transition?
2. Realize that you’re losing an identity. And build your new identity.
Sometimes we lose an identity and friends. If you step away from drinking alcohol, you may lose your “boozer friends.”
They may resist you changing your lifestyle for a healthier one.
Some friends that aren’t helping you may drift away. Not always quietly.
They may get angry, or even accusatory. They might even try to sabotage you or make you feel you’re not “cool” or “fun,” anymore. Or say things like, “You can just (____) one more time, right?”
Is some old friend sabotaging your new life?
Sometimes, you just need to get the support you really need, that is, from the Gods.
3. Ask the Gods for support.
What can look like ruin to us, may be a step to the Gods.
You can use this prayer to help you.
Goddess,
Help me nurture my inner worth with Your love.
God,
Give me Your strength to resist temptations that may ruin my path.
Gods, guide me and soothe my doubts.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your journey.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How You Can Ease Up on Beating Yourself Up (A Witch’s Perspective)
As I settle to sleep, I suddenly remember messing up when talking to a friend.
“Damn!” I grumble.
“You okay?” my husband asks.
“I’m all right. Just thinking about something I messed up.”
“You want to talk about it?”
“Not now,” I say.
Do you emotionally beat yourself up?
I have three insights for you.
1. Find healthy comfort.
A hug from my husband can help. Or a bite of a chocolate chunky chip cookie. (Okay, I must avoid going to extreme on the cookies!)
Comfort is not a cop-out.
Comfort is a necessary part of life.
Who or what provides you with some comfort?
2. Get outside in the breeze and more.
As a witch, you know your kinship with nature.
Don’t hesitate. Get that 15-minute walk next to trees. Feel the breeze. See the sky.
Connect with nature.
Get out of the box (office).
How can you experience your connection with nature?
3. Make prayer your ladder upwards.
In the mundane world, we humans have limitations.
Call for reinforcements!
Here is a prayer you can use.
Gods, shift my mind from self-blaming,
Keep me growing with kindness and self-love.
Lift me up to Your light.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
