Sleepless with Regret or Shame? Goddess Is Present (a Witch’s Perspective)

It happened again. I thought about something I regretted. It looked like I wouldn’t get sleep.
Then I shifted my thoughts. I brought an image to my sleep-deprived mind.
I am floating in the ocean. Peaceful.
The waves softly flow.

The Ocean is Goddess.

Eventually, I fall asleep.

Later, I reflected on this.

Here are two definitions:

“Regret is an emotion. It’s a negative emotion in that it’s an emotion that makes us feel worse, not better. And it’s an emotion that’s triggered when we think of something from our past and wish we had done something differently, done something in a different way, not done something, taken an action, not taken an action.” – Daniel Pink

“Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging.” – Brené Brown

Whoa! Stop!

Goddess put divinity within us.
We ARE worthy of love and belonging.
We belong to the Goddess.

I remember this quote:

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.” – Maya Angelou

So I need to shift from regret to reflecting on what I may want to do differently in the future.

Here’s a prayer you can use.

Goddess,
Let Your waters of love caress and flow within and without me.
Let my shame and regret be washed from my mind, body, and soul.
Soothe me, nourish me, and heal me.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Dealing with Health Issues (a Witch’s Perspective) – Ep. 355

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-zktxv-1950231

Moonwater reveals ways to shift your thoughts and find comfort even when health issues press on you. She shares a powerful prayer that can energize you. The prayer also gives you some well-deserved relief.

The Witch’s Path to “Stronger Than a Habit”

“You look frustrated,” my friend, Susan, said.
“Got that right,” I replied.
“About…?”
“I just can’t get in more meditation sessions,” I said.

Later, I reflected on this.
So, we hear that improving our lives is just about adding a habit. (As if that were easy.)

Ever put in a new habit and in 47 days—poof!—the habit is gone?

Frustrating, right?
What’s the answer?

It’s not just a change of habit.
It’s a shift of identity.

Robert Rodriguez, the film director, said that he would throw out his back every time he made a film.
He asked Sylvester “Sly” Stallone how he managed to stay strong and athletic.
Sly said, “Get a personal trainer.”

But then, Robert had a revelation. Yes, it was good to have the support of a personal trainer. AND, he needed to shift his identity to “athlete.” Then it was about “what does an athlete do?”

We, witches, can choose layers to our identity.

I can choose and say firmly, “I AM a meditator.”

In fact … I’m taking a pause …

Now, I am back.

Guess what I just did?

I did a brief meditation session. Why? “I AM a meditator.”

What identity would you like to add to your practice as a Witch?

Here’s a prayer.

Goddess, show me the way to transformation.
Guide my actions on my desired path.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Burst through the “It’s Good for You” Wall (a Witch’s Perspective)

“What’s good for you—that’s Wicca—that you don’t do?” my friend, Margarette, said.
“Meditate more often,” I said.
“What holds you back?”
“It’s a freakin’ cliché. I have no time in the morning. I’m too tired at the end of the day. And, I spend my day mostly taking care of my parents (often). And one diabetic cat,” I said, my shoulders drooping.
Margarette nodded. She looked sad.

I have an insight for you.

Attach The Good For You Action to Something You’re Already Doing

Something good for me is to do an action that makes me feel better.

For example, my husband massages my back every night. (Yeah, I feel lucky.)

But I just don’t get around to massaging his back.

I don’t feel good about not supporting the Love of My Life.

Except, now I’m turning that around. Now, I’ll take 10 seconds to massage the trapezius muscles next to his neck when I walk past him to my workstation (in our home).

10 seconds is better than nothing.

He smiles and says, “Wow! You remove a lot of tension from my trapezius muscles in a short time!”

So I’m going to walk past him anyway. I’ve just attached being kind to my husband (and I feel better) to my daily action.

My way to add Wicca to these 10 Seconds is to say a prayer like: “God and Goddess, thank you for my sweetheart. May he feel safe in my arms and loved.”

What would be good for you to add to your daily life?

Here’s a helpful prayer.

Goddess,
Guide me to make time for
What’s good for me,
What’s important to me,
What makes me smile.
So Mote It Be.

May this insight support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Back in the Day – Forward to Today (A Witch’s Perspective)

“Did you see that Scott Cunningham focused on self-initiation?” an acquaintance, Anna, asked.

“Yes. When I first began with Wicca, I read Scott’s book, Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner,” I replied.

I reflected on this. Before Scott Cunningham (and others), Wicca was much more about being coven-based.

Over the years, I later participated in three covens.

I like the structure of a coven. And yet, sometimes, it feels like herding cats.

Still, I appreciate that a solitary witch has more freedom to do things in their own way, when they feel like it, and according to their schedule.

I do notice that in a coven, you can feel the energy multiply.

I appreciate that we have choices.

When do you connect with the Goddess?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

When The Magic Gets Too Real (A Witch’s Perspective)

“That’s when the water pipe burst. Water flooded the apartment!” Cheryl, an acquaintance, told me.
“And you feel it’s because Athea failed to dismiss the Element Water?”
“I’m sure of it.”

Sometimes, we, witches, may feel that the magic gets too real.

I have insights for you.

1. Include Protection Phrases

Such phrases include:

  • And it harm none.
  • For the good of all involved.

    Will you include such phrases when you do magic?

    2. Make your intention benevolent.

    The 3 Times Law holds that what you put out into the universe returns upon you with 3 times the impact.

    It is wise to do your magic for positive outcomes.

    What positive outcome do you want to happen?

    May these insights support your journey,

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater
