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.

    Seize the Perfect Moment (a Witch’s Perspective) – Ep. 345

    Moonwater reveals how to Seize the Perfect Moment – which can be surprising. She observes that “the pursuit of happiness is not happy.” Learn how you can say a chant and invite the Goddess to support you being in the moment … not pursuing the moment. The Goddess wants to guide you!

    Happy Summer Solstice 2025

    / Moonwater / Leave a comment

    Happy Solstice!

    Litha/Midsummer

    The Summer Solstice Litha, also known as Midsummer, represents when the God is at his height in power and fertility. The sun now takes its longest path across the sky, and we experience the longest day of the year. This completes the sun’s waxing cycle and begins the waning part of the solar year. The days become increasingly shorter until the Wheel of the Year returns to Yule, when the days once again wax with the sun. The days grow longer.

    Wiccans enjoy collecting and drying herbs during Litha. Many of them take nice walks out in nature to harvest herbs. Herbs harvested during this period have greater magickal powers than herbs gathered at other times of the year. Herbs reach their peak of strength and potency during Litha.

    Once again, the bonfire holds a prominent place. The God rises to his peak as his power and strength expands at Litha.

    Along the line of a bonfire, when my coven meets for Litha, we do a barbecue. Meat and fire form a good combo for this Sabbat! Yum!

    Blessings,

    How to Face an Opponent (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / 1 Comment

    “I can’t believe it. She’s my mother. She’s supposed to be on my side,” my friend, Alicia, said.

    I nodded and listened.

    Alicia’s mother, at this time, was her opponent.

    I have insights for you.

    1. Acknowledge the nature of the opponent.

      Researchers are noting aspects of narcissists.

      “A narcissist is an extremely self-centered person who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance.” – Merriam-Webster Dictionary

      Alicia’s mother demonstrates narcissism. Perhaps, you’ve noticed that narcissists do not care, and they do not learn.

      What can Alicia do? She can guard her time and her personal energy.

      She can set her boundaries. She can, when necessary, end her phone conversations with her mother.

      Do you need to set boundaries with an opponent in your life?

      2. Face The Three-fold Law.

      The Wiccans I know believe in The Three-fold Law.

      This Law holds that what you send out returns upon you with three times the impact.

      It is a temptation to want to wield magick to punish the opponent. Whoa! Stop.

      Instead, it is better to use prayer, ritual, and meditation to strengthen yourself.

      For example, if I faced a truly tough time, I would call upon Fire energy and I would ask the God to give me strength. I would call upon the Goddess to grant me Her Warrior Spirit

      What would help you strengthen yourself?

      May these insights support your path.

      How You Can Deal with Energy Vampires in Dreams and on the Mundane Plane (a Witch’s Perspective) – Ep. 344

      / Moonwater / 2 Comments

      https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-3gsf6-18da299

      Moonwater reveals the harsh reality of energy vampires. These individuals may intentionally harm others or act unintentionally. You need good boundaries. Energy vampires drain your life energy. As a remedy, Moonwater provides practical methods to protect yourself. She even shares a powerful ritual in which you can welcome the Goddess’s support.

      Goddess Talks to You Through an Inner Voice (a Witch’s Perspective)

      / Moonwater / 5 Comments

      Damn! I hate medical appointments that require me to get up at 5 AM.

      My father had a cyst on his back.

      It turned out to be healed. No procedure required.

      I was pissed… Sleep lost. Time lost.

      But then a different part of me rose up and gave me a different perspective.

      You might be surprised. It was my Inner Crone. She said, “Appreciate the blessing. Your father is healed. And, go with the other medical provider so you can pick an appropriate, timely appointment.”

      So female witches go through stages. Also, you probably heard of the 3 Aspects of the Goddess: The Maiden, Mother, and Crone.

      Well, I’m no fan of the crow’s-feet near my eyes.

      But then my Inner Crone says, “Those are the signs of the gifts of smiling and laughing.”

      Then, I said, “Okay. I’ll take them.”

      What would your Inner Wise Voice say to you?

      “To these [witches], will I teach that which is yet unknown.” – The Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess – as written by Doreen Valiente

      I realized that the Goddess can teach us through our Inner Crone. How great is that?!

      May these insights support your path.

      How You Can Overcome Procrastination (a Witch’s Perspective) – Ep. 343

      / Moonwater / Leave a comment

      https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-amqqg-18cf499

      Moonwater reveals how you can gain Goddess’s support … and She can help you release yourself from procrastination. Learn a prayer that invites Goddess’s assistance.

      How You Can Change What the Universe Delivers to You (A Witch’s Perspective)

      / Moonwater / Leave a comment

      “Aggh. My stomach. Pain…” my friend Alex said.

      It was the combination of fiery hot food and too much diet cola that gave him a gut punch.

      The next day, Alex avoided both. No stomach pain.

      Simple enough. Right?

      Not if you’re addicted.

      How many of us are addicted to declaring certain bad ideas and outcomes, as if that’s all we’ll ever experience in life?

      Your words hold power.

      Basically, you’re declaring your present and future with the words you express—all the time. If most of your words are fear-focused, guess what you get? Lots of fear-based moments.

      Sure. There are predators (in human form and more) in this world.

      The good plan is to learn to protect yourself … and that starts with what you say, what you plan … and how you take action.

      For example, I have practiced certain self-defense moves (and took some training, here’s a link for Model Mugging). I even lift weights. In this modern society, these practices are as essential as reading.

      Here is a chant you can use.

      Goddess, I deserve Your Love.
      I deserve to be safe.
      I step forward into my better and better life.
      So Mote It Be.

      May these insights support your path.
