Moonwater shares an inspiring story about her friend Carrie, who had to navigate a complex decision involving her career choices. Carrie learned about trusting her intuition.
Moonwater shares the significance of acting on intuition. In our daily lives, we face an inner conflict between the Voice of Fear and the Voice of Intuition. Moonwater elegantly emphasizes listening to your intuition to fulfill your destiny.
“What happens when coven members have a big disagreement?” my friend, Sandra, asked.
“Each coven tends to have its own rules on disagreements. Also, each coven looks to their Tradition,” I began.
And, here are some thoughts that may help.
1. Seek the leadership of the High Priestess or High Priest.
You go to the leader. Ideally, the leader listens as the concerned people each take a turn to express their views.
2. Ask, “Is there anything else you want me to know?” and then listen.
The leader of the coven listens carefully.
Then when the person appears to have fully expressed themself, one can ask another question. Is there anything else you want me to know?
This shows that the leader cares. It also helps to say back what was said. Then ask, “Do I have that about right?”
The person will confirm it or add some more.
3. Discover together “The Third Alternative.”
In a disagreement, one may find two opposing ideas. If people keep up the discussion, it is possible to find a “third alternative.” Person One wants Alternative One. Person Two wants Alternative Two.
The answer may be the Third Alternative—an idea beyond both suggestions.
You might add a prayer:
Goddess, Guide us to find a Third Alternative. May we develop a way to support the whole coven. So Mote It Be.
Moonwater Silverclaw delves into the empowering process of transforming anger into determination. Moonwater shares personal experiences and illuminates the path for others using crucial insights and spiritual guidance. This beautifully executed episode tells the tale of transformation, providing a pathway for individuals on their journey of self-discovery.
Many years ago, I was new to Wicca. I needed a magical name. One night, I asked Goddess to please give me a magical name. I woke up in the middle of the night—my whole body vibrating. I heard “Moonwater.” I knew instantly that was my magical name.
Would you like to find something definite in your life?
I have three insights for you.
1. Let go of a rigid pattern.
My friend, Athena, finds herself thinking about this one mean coworker after work. At a picnic, I saw an upset look come upon her face. “Are you okay?” I asked. “I’m okay now,” she replied. “What was that?”
She took in a deep breath. “Just a thought, that I’m letting flow down the stream.” That’s a powerful method. Athena decided to not let thoughts of her mean coworker interfere with our picnic with friends.
What thought do you need to just flow down the stream?
2. Connect with the element of water.
Water flows and can wash away negative energies. Ritual bathing is a good choice if you’re not feeling good. You may have extra unwanted negative energy clinging to you. When you take a ritual bath, you release yourself from such negativity.
Let water renew you.
3. Pray to the God and Goddess.
When you need the Power of Flow in your life, consider saying a prayer like this:
My virile Lord and lovely Lady, Connect me with the Element of Water. Empower me to let negative thoughts flow away Like on a stream of water. Let me embrace the sun Of Your Wisdom and Grace. So Mote It Be.
Moonwater explores the intriguing intersection of tarot and happiness, drawing on years of experience and deep-seated wisdom.
Moonwater begins with an interesting reflection, suggesting that more cards in a tarot spread equals greater information. Through this lens, she considers happiness as a five-card spread composed of varying elements such as health, wealth, and purpose.
Happy Beltane to all! May you be blessed with the season’s energies.
Beltane
To our ancestors, Beltane celebrates the beginning of summer. Bale or “bon” fires are an important part of the Beltane Sabbat. All fires at home or in shops were extinguished and then re-lit from the sacred bonfires that blazed on the tops of the surrounding hills. This was also the time when the herds were blessed. The people marched their cattle around and between the bonfires to bring good luck and fertility and to protect them during the year.
The Sabbat Beltane, coincides with when the God actually impregnates the Goddess. This sacred act ensures the continued fertility for crops and animals throughout the light half of the year (between the Spring and Fall Equinoxes.) A popular symbol for this sacred act, the May Pole represents the impregnation of the goddess. A May Pole is a pole set erect in the ground with ribbons attached on the top. People then each take a ribbon and dance in a weaving pattern around the pole. The pole represents God’s phallus and the colorful ribbons that the dancers wind around the May Pole represent the goddess with her flowers a-blooming. And so the impregnation of the Goddess is fulfilled.
“What turned out better than you thought?” my husband asked me. “When I met you,” I replied. “What? I didn’t make a good first impression?” my husband asked. “No. It wasn’t that. I just didn’t think we’d connect. You seemed unavailable.” “I was unavailable,” he said. I emailed the man who would later be my second husband. I wrote: “And darn it. I like you.” That was a stretch for me. It worked out better than I expected.
I have three insights for you.
1. Acknowledge your expectations. My friend, Stephen, had two romantic partners (in succession) who had to have a breast cancer-detecting biopsy. Each time, he told himself, “I’ll wait for the results. I don’t have the data. She needs me to be strong. I will not fall apart. I’ll wait for the results.”
Stephen purposely paused. He put his negative expectations on hold. Things turned out well. Both women had biopsies showing a benign situation.
Do you expect your magick will fail to work? Do you think things just won’t work with your romantic partner? Pause. Acknowledge your expectations. Ask yourself: “What if all this is NOT true?” What if you will NOT get the worst outcome? If you want to get out of your own way, pause. Acknowledge your expectations. Realize that the future will arrive. Some things WILL turn out better than you expect. Avoid unnecessary suffering in the meantime.
2. Expand your perception. Sometimes we need to focus on our intuition and our divinatory tools to expand our perceptions of things yet to come. A friend, Anna, faces a terrible co-worker each day she goes to work. She pauses. She asks Goddess, “What can I learn here?” In her meditation sessions, she realizes that she is learning something. She’s learning how to deal with a toxic person. She might end up teaching friends (maybe teaching classes) methods to handle a toxic person. Anna has successfully expanded her perception. How will you pause? How can you expand your perception? Do you have a spiritual elder who can advise you?
3. Invite the Goddess to quiet down your fear and limited expectations. Why do we have negative expectations? First, our biology makes us have a “negative bias.” Science shows that people are constantly scanning their environment for threats. That’s how our ancestors lived long enough to have kids. This negative bias fills us with fear. You can ask the Goddess to quiet down your fear and limited expectations.
Here is a prayer you might use:
My Gracious Goddess, Guide me to quiet my fears. Help me move forward in hope. And then, I will take action. I will NOT shut down and stand still. I will walk the hopeful path You have set for me. So Mote It Be.
In this enlightening episode, Moonwater Silverclaw unveils the mysteries of how witches and Wiccans intuitively identify fake and dishonest individuals. Originating from her own experiences and observations, Silverclaw shares three insights on uncovering deceptive behavior.
I also know someone who got to direct a feature film in their 20s. Amazing.
When does the impossible become possible?
I have three insights for you.
1. Release limiting beliefs
Limiting beliefs can hold your magick back. What limiting beliefs do you have?
Do you do something artistic? Do you think you’ll never find some people who want what you create?
A big problem is that limiting beliefs steal your energy.
They keep you stuck in a pattern of “not good enough” or “it won’t get better.”
That’s a real energy drain.
What limiting belief do you hold?
How could your life blossom if you would let that negative idea flow away?
Imagine a stream of water and you let the limiting belief flow away… like a leaf going away.
2. Raise energy through hope
Hope gives you energy.
When you have hope, you feel some enthusiasm rise.
I have a friend, Liam, who feels hope rise when he writes for 10 minutes a day on his novel.
Hope helps you shake off some wisps of despair. Despair can feel like standing at the bottom of a pit.
On the other hand, even for just 10 minutes, hope can feel like you’re soaring through the clouds during the golden hours of the morning sunrise.
Just visualizing a new possibility can help you move forward.
The impossible becomes a possibility when you put some daily effort into something that can brighten your life.
How can you raise your hope and your energy?
3. Give your fear to the Goddess for transformation
Fear is often about losing something. The other side of this is protecting what is valuable. Also, you find ways to enhance what is important.
Think about it. What are you afraid of? Ask yourself what will I lose?
Then take a transformative step.
Perhaps, have a meditation session, and ask the Goddess….
Goddess, I’m afraid of losing ______. Give me insight and hope. How can I protect what’s valuable? How can I strengthen myself To keep going through chaotic times? Guide me to Your wisdom. Transform my fear into insight and perseverance. So Mote It Be.
