How Witches Cope When Under Siege – 136
How Witches’ Find the “Hidden Treasure” Within
When I was a young child, I had a supportive special education teacher named Mrs. Ireland. Suffering with my dyslexic difficulties, I felt that Mrs. Ireland’s kindness was like an island in a sea of my self-doubt and low self-esteem.
Mrs. Ireland even complimented me, in front of my parents, about an art project I did. This was like a strange, foreign experience to me. A delightful, uplifting experience. For once, I felt smart.
Many of us witches feel isolated in a world that often bashes us and our spiritual path.
The problem I see is that, as children, we are conditioned to rely on external reference points to feel that we are “okay.” Parents, guardians, teachers, and employers wield power. If you fulfill their requirements, you are okay. You have value. But if you don’t, you may feel you are bad and have no value as an individual.
We must find our intrinsic value. To me, that journey is the center of witchcraft.
“I coined the word ‘overculture’ to mean the larger society which often attempts to tell girls, women and elders what we ought, should and must be, do, act, react — but, and, as you know, often the deeper wild nature says otherwise — for the wild instinctual nature is wise and wild both, with innate gifts and creative callings — all following the naturally insightful voice of the true self, rather than the often ‘one-inch deep overculture’s voice’ that values uniformity and only pre-authorized dancing.” – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
We must cherish that deeper wild nature in ourselves. Often, we can’t find personal value on the outside. So, we must go deeper and investigate our heart and soul to see the value we naturally possess.
Sometimes, we may struggle with feeling our inner value because of depression or some other disability. This is where the Gods, ancestors and your guides come in.
In my experience the Gods see us as love and light. I like the phrase “The Gods don’t make junk.”
I keep writing about this, but I need to hear it. And maybe others do, too.
The place I hear the God and Goddess most strongly is during meditation. There I can be myself and relax. And I find my “Hidden Treasure.”
I invite you to start or continue a daily meditation practice. Do simple rituals. Connect with the God and Goddess. Find your calm inside—the Hidden Treasure—where the God and Goddess dwell within you.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

When Your Intuition is Being Contradicted by the Tarot…
During one recent reading, a client asked about whether to launch a particular campaign to help some young people.
The cards revealed that it was a good idea, but he needs to slow down.
This bothered my client. He was all keyed up to go forward. He said, “But my intuition says to go forward on this now.”
My client’s first thought was that this was a “this or that” situation.
I suggested that this could be an “and” situation.
“The cards reveal that it is time to slow down. If you slowed down, what would you be doing?” I asked.
“I would be asking for more opinions about how to refine the words of the campaign,” my client said.
“Could you make some calls? Maybe if you did that right away, maybe you would still be making progress. How does that sound?” I asked.
“It sounds … I think I could make the campaign better. That’s good!” my client said, with a smile.
When I’m doing a reading, I ask questions to help the person access their intuition.
“Intuition is seeing with the soul.” ― Dean Koontz
When you look with your soul, you are seeing your true self and the Gods. The Gods are here to support you, and many times they do it through your intuition.
“Don’t try to comprehend with your mind. Your minds are very limited. Use your intuition.” ― Madeleine L’Engle
Many people don’t trust themselves when reading the cards because they are using their minds to “see” the Tarot.
The Tarot cards show you different archetypes with pictures. You need to go past the images to receive the messages.
Reach out with your intuition. What does this feel like? Are you receiving images, words, feelings or thoughts? Look at the colors. How do you feel about them?
Here is an important question: Is there something that you must face and you may need to brace yourself?
“Yes, the truth may hurt but lies will become a crutch and will cripple you.” – Stephen T. Scott
A combination of your intuition plus the Tarot can open a door. You may see some things for the first time.
A life lived with eyes wide open becomes a wondrous adventure.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,

How Witches Can Prepare Themselves Before Doing a Tarot Reading – Ep. 134
When the Tarot Surprises You…
Sometimes when I do a Tarot reading, the client gets really surprised.
For example, one client asked, “What do I need to do to be happy?”
For this reading, I did a one card spread.
The card was the moon inverted. As I do a reading, intuition guides me to express ideas. I said, “The card says, ‘Don’t believe in all the garbage you think. They’re illusions.’”
“Really?” the client responded.
“Is there some way that this reading connects with you?” I asked.
“Well … I don’t talk about this much. But I really beat myself up emotionally,” the client responded.
“How does that look?”
“I keep thinking what a slob I am. That I’m lazy. That I don’t know what to do, and I’m going to be out on the street.”
I kept silent to see if the client had anything else to add.
“That’s about it,” the client said.
“That’s a lot to carry,” I replied.
The client nodded.
“So, do you think this Tarot reading applies?” I asked.
“‘Don’t believe in all the garbage you think. They’re illusions.’ … I think the Tarot is telling me something profound,” the client said.
The Tarot can, at times, shake us up and give us a new perspective.
Sometimes, we don’t want to hear it.
But other times, the guidance comes in like a breath of fresh air.
We need to make space for the guidance. Sometimes, the Tarot’s guidance is startling, and we don’t understand the guidance right away. It may not resonate until a week later—perhaps, even a month.
An important part of the process is to stay open and keep your eyes and ears open to what happens around you after the Tarot reading. Look for connections. Also … just breathe and let the connections just rise in your intuitive thoughts and feelings.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Create Confidence in Spellwork – Ep. 133
Using the Tarot in Everyday Life
“What happens during a Tarot reading?” my friend, Sandra, asked.
“It’s a chance to get insights from the God and the Goddess,” I replied.
“Oh, I had not heard that!”
I have three insights for you…
- Ask the right questions.
What is a “right question”? Here are examples:
- How do I know when…?
- What should I look for when…?
- What does it look like when…?
My spiritual elders note that it is ethically wrong to delve into other people’s thoughts and feelings. So, avoid questions like: a) “Does Nancy think I’m cute?” – b) “When will my boyfriend leave his wife?” – c) “When is the job mine?” – or d) “When will I sell my house?”
Some authors suggest that asking the Tarot to “predict” certain outcomes is not helpful. They note that the Universe keeps flowing, and people and beings are making new choices all the time. If you ask a question like “When will my house sell?” the answer you see may only be accurate for that moment in time.
Perhaps a better question to ask would be, “Please give me the signs for when my house is about to sell.”
- Where does all the guidance come from?
My impression is that when you do a Tarot reading, you are communicating with the Gods.
Several authors suggest that the Tarot is connected to intuition or the Universe. I feel that intuition and the Universe are forms of the God and Goddess.
Your Intuition is knowing that the Gods placed inside of you. Intuition helps guide us on our life path. And the Universe is The All. The All is everything and everyone. Several spiritual elders suggest that The All is manifested as the God and the Goddess.
- Ideas for Before and After the Tarot Reading
It is good to have a Tarot journal to write down details of your reading. For example:
Date of Reading:
Who the Reading was for:
Card Spread Used:
Question Asked:
Cards Pulled:
The Placement of Each Card:
Answer and Insight Given:
Your Results (after one month):
You can set up a sacred space before you do a Tarot reading. You could cast a Circle. However, you are not required to do so. Also, consider saying a prayer before you do your Tarot reading.
Immediately after the Tarot reading, you can say a prayer of gratitude.
After the reading, you can meditate. During that meditation session, you can ask the God and Goddess to add to your understanding of details that arose in the Tarot reading.
May these insights support you on your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
