Magick Words, Mundane Words, and Your Real Power – Ep. 369

December 7, 2025 / Moonwater / 2 Comments

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-atvjq-19e4445

Moonwater reveals how your words manifest your reality. She shows the misguided notion that venting is only good and has no bad consequences. She provides a powerful prayer to the Goddess. You ask the Goddess for Her help to shift from anger to peace within.

For more on how to deal with disruption and chaos, see Moonwater’s new book, World On Fire. Check it out with the link below.

Don’t Let Them Make You React (A Witch’s Perspective)

November 11, 2025November 11, 2025 / Moonwater / 2 Comments

Do you know what sells more than sex? Rage. The algorithms in social media are, reportedly, geared to make people react in anger or rage.

Anger in times of chaos is understandable.
In fact, my new book, World On Fire: How Witches and Wiccans Transcend the Chaos and Find Their Peace, has three sections on anger. Also, not-a-fun fact, the word “anger” shows up 45 times in this book.
Good news: There is a section about how to shift so you can get sleep even if you start angry.

Here, let’s talk about shifting away from falling into a reaction. When you pause and take a breath, you can make a transition to a healthy response. Not a reaction.

Breath of the Loving Goddess

Breath supports and heals you.

So, take a deep breath in, and breathe in the love of the Goddess.

Hold…

In your mind, say, “I breathe in peace. Goddess, thank you.”

Then exhale.

In your mind, picture tension, stress, and pain exiting your body as if you are exhaling black smoke out of your mouth.

In your mind, say, “I breathe out all stress, pain, and tension.”

Repeat this process 9 times.

A warning: As with any form of exercise or exertion, consult with your doctor. Some people may need to be careful about getting lightheaded or hyperventilating.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Are They an Idiot or Semi-Idiot? (A Witch’s Perspective)

October 21, 2025 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

“Oh, no! Did you see that? What an Idiot!” I said, driving, after ducking my car out of the way of an idiot-driver.

“I’m venting,” I said to my husband.

Later, I reflected on this.

Scott Cunningham wrote: “The magic begins in you … Words and actions are used as focal points or keys to unlock the power that we all possess.”

Here are two insights.

1. Carefully choose your venting and take a look at your perceptions

When, in frustration, I called another driver “an idiot,” I was venting. But was that all I was doing?

Upon reflection, I realize that I judged that person based on one action.

What if that person was a kind teacher, who was rushing to the hospital to visit her brother, who … ironically … was injured in a traffic accident?

It is possible that perceiving one as surrounded by idiots can cause trouble.

Our words are a form of magic.

Venting for five minutes is not driving our friends nuts by complaining for two hours.

Do you vent?
Are you judging people and feeling bad as a result?

2. Ask Goddess to Help You Shift During Your Day

Here is a prayer you can use:

Goddess,
Help me shift from judgment to compassion.
Let me see the value in the other person,
Even if I don’t see it now.
Let me breathe in and out
So my peace stays all day.
So Mote It Be.

Let these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Fortifying Your Boundaries (a Witch’s Perspective)

October 1, 2025 / Moonwater / 1 Comment

“I’ve reached the end of my rope,” my friend, Rhonda, said. “I can’t bend anymore. I can’t take any more.”

I nodded.

I saw it in Rhonda’s eyes.
She knew that I understood.

That’s because she knew my story.
During my first marriage, I told my husband that we needed to have food in the house. But he didn’t care. He took care of himself by buying fast food. And overspending on his own video games.

That, plus more details, inspired me to go for a real boundary of “I’m not going to live like this.” I filed for divorce. One of my best decisions.

I have insights for you.

1. State your boundary. Make it brief. Say, “I need this.”

During my first marriage, I would try to “make my case.”
He did not listen. He did not care.
Instead, I’ve learned to say, “I need this walkway clear.”

That’s the full thought.

I don’t need to plead and have to justify what I need.

I have worth as a human being. The Gods placed divinity within me. And within you.

“Live your earthly life fully, but try to see the spiritual aspects of your activities as well. Remember—the physical and spiritual are but reflections of each other.” – Scott Cunningham

2. Realize that your boundary mirrors boundaries in nature.

“We cannot and must not give love to others before we have respect and love for ourselves.” – Scott Cunningham

Realize that the Goddess wants your well-being.

I remember that the bark of a Redwood Tree is highly fire-resistant.

The bark protects the tree’s core. Redwoods can survive all but the most extreme fires.

Again, we, witches, learn from nature.

Maintain a good and strong boundary.

You, like the glorious Redwood Tree, are loved and valued by the God and Goddess.

Here is a prayer you can use.

Gods,
Surround me with your protection,
Like the mother bear who protects her young,
Or the lion who protects his pride.
Here me now, and surround me with
your protection on this Day/Night!
So Mote It Be!

May these insights support you on your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Deal with Someone Who Won’t Hear Them

July 22, 2025 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

“My sister just won’t stop for a minute to hear me out,” Milly, a new acquaintance, said.

“She has all these judgments about me and my faith. She doesn’t see me as a person. It’s like she’s talking to her projection of what she thinks I might be.”

I reflected on this.

Here are two insights that might help you.

1. You push, and they push back.

Ever try to explain your faith to someone? And, they just push back. Telling you that you’re wrong and that they know—better than you—what your spiritual path is.

Arrogant, right?

You push facts, and they push fiction.
But what does the pushing get?
Nothing good.

2. Invite the Gods to help you lower your “intensity.”

Have you noticed that when someone says unfair and ignorant things against you, it’s your internal “intensity” that rises?

Here is a prayer that you can use to help you lower your intensity.

I breathe in and bring in the love of the Gods.
I breathe out and let go of my anxiety.
I breathe in and bring in clarity.
I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
I breathe in calm.
I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
I breathe in peace within my integrity.
I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
May the Gods bless me.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

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

June 18, 2025 / 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.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Avoid Screwing Up Their Magick

April 8, 2025 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

When was the last time you were angry? I mean, really angry.

Drivers that almost cause accidents. That’s a hot button for me.

Injury or death. For no reason—except the troublesome driver is unskillful or rude—or both.

So, I was simply driving. Then an idiot driver cut me off. Causing Danger. Now I’m tossed into a “hot state.”

A definition: “Hot states are characterized by high levels of emotion, where individuals are more likely to act impulsively and make decisions based on their immediate feelings rather than long-term consequences.”

Warning: Do not do magick when stuck in a hot state. You can make rash decisions that you normally wouldn’t make.

Here are hot state triggers: anger, hunger, fear, pain, sexual arousal, and strong cravings.

Here’s the Big, Important Idea: When you notice that you are triggered, stop. Cool down. Make a good decision to wait before you do any form of magick.

Also, remember the Threefold Law. If you do magick while you’re angry, you could cause damage … that could be slammed back at you with three times the intensity or more.

Here’s a chant you can use to cool down. You can replace “anger” with any other unhelpful emotion.

Anger, anger, flee from me!
Clear my mind for me to see.
Unhelpful emotions fade away,
You don’t trouble me today.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Wiccans Handle Being Betrayed By Loved Ones

April 20, 2018 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

“You’re no good!” my husband’s father yelled at him. This man, I’ll call him “George, “continued with insulting my husband and me. I was not in that room. I was waiting in the car. I will not be in the same building as George. George is an unrepentant child abuser, who lost his promotions in the military due to his brawling.

My husband stood his ground. He said firmly, “Stop acting like a bully. You cannot get away with it. I am not nine-years-old. You do not get to spit in my face. You do not get to throw me into walls, anymore.”

My husband was visiting his mother, a kind soul.

Do you have a friend or relative who is not only letting you down, but is also actively trying to tear you apart?

Wiccans know that human beings can be complex. Wiccans realize that sometimes you have to protect yourself from energy-drainers, or worse, attackers.

Better than this, Wiccans realize that your relationship with God and Goddess is what truly sustains you. The God and Goddess not only hold us up, They lift us higher than we could ever imagine on our own.

The God and Goddess hold our hands on this journey through life and pull us up after we fall and get injured. They hold us as most dear to Them. And when someone tears us down, the God and Goddess are there to lift us back up to our full height.

For example, the God and Goddess can provide us something synchronistic. My husband and I went to a pizza restaurant after the incident with George. And my husband listened to the music in that restaurant. The music felt uplifting to my husband. It was a gift.

The God and Goddess can provide us with inspiration. My husband got a new idea. Next time, he visits his mother and his father tries to derail the situation, my husband expects to stay seated and almost whisper: “Leave us in peace.” This just might be a divinely-sent idea.

I’ve talked with a number of people who have been hurt by others who are supposed to love them. I realized how pervasive this problem is. For those days when you feel betrayed and disempowered, turn to the God and Goddess. Here is a simple chant that will help you feel supported:

“Lord and Lady Support Me” Chant

Lord and Lady let me know,
How this will make me grow.
Keep me safe and keep me sane,
Give me no reason to complain.
Lord and Lady of the Moon,
Give me this a mighty boon.
So Mote It Be.

May this help you when you need real support.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

The Wiccan Way to Dispel Anger

December 2, 2016December 3, 2016 / Moonwater / 3 Comments

Candle

When was the last time you were angry? It’s a tough emotion to endure. Everyone gets angry at times. A sibling, your parents, or your boss can light the flame.

So how do we deal with that anger? You can’t let go of anger until you let go of your first perception.

Let me explain: The perception that things are supposed to be a certain way in your life can cause much distress if those perceptions are not met.

For example, I have a dear friend who works as a teacher. It’s important work; he is educating the next generation of people to inherit the Earth. But teachers get paid a pittance compared with how important their job is. I see my friend struggle, and I get angry about it.

Does my anger do any good? Does anything change?

No. I just feel awful.

It’s necessary for me to do a Ritual to Dispel Anger.

Here is the ritual below.

What you will need:

One red candle
Banishing oil (you can use sage oil if you like)
Cauldron
Heat proof surface for your cauldron
One word for the object that represents your feelings of anger

Cast circle

Place cauldron in the middle of the altar on your heat proof surface.

Next, asperge and cense your candle. Carve the one word (length wise) on the candle that names what you’re angry about. Dress candle with banishing oil.

Holding the candle, visualize all your anger, focusing the feelings into the candle. Once you have pushed all that anger into the candle, hold up the candle and say:

[Name what angers you] that burns me so,

It’s time for this anger to go!

As I light you, you will burn,

(Light the candle and place it in the cauldron.)

Melting down turn by turn.

As you melt, my anger will disappear,

Never coming back to burden me here.

Sit and watch the flame of the candle. Feel your anger being burnt up as the candle is consumed.

Do the Cakes and Wine Ceremony

Close the Circle

For some Wiccans, it may take a few repetitions of this Ritual to Dispel Anger.

Going back to the above ideas I shared: “You can’t let go of anger until you let go of your first perception. The perception that things are supposed to be a certain way in your life can cause much distress if those perceptions are not met.”

Eventually, it’s valuable to shift to a state of acceptance*. Did something happen that upsets you? Yes. Can you go back in time and change it? No. What can you do now? Pick your battles. If you’re called to take action on a particular issue, then find something proactive to do.

Otherwise, use the Ritual to Dispel Anger.

It helps.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

* Please know that acceptance is NOT approval. Wiccans know that the Earth at present is home to both good and bad things happening. Acceptance is part of consciously choosing some things to work on and other things to let go.

When Tragedy Strikes – How You Can Use Magick and Meditation to Ignite Your Inner Peace

November 21, 2015November 21, 2015 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

FrenchFlag

In light of the recent attacks on the people in Paris, France, I feel overwhelmed with sadness and anger. I mourn deeply for the people who were murdered.

For a number of days I have been thinking about what to write. What would I discuss: Sorrow, rage, wanting justice, even the desire for some form of revenge?

Still, the idea that keeps arising in my mind is:

“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”— Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi invites us to move beyond anger and vengeance.

Still, as I feel deeply about the situation, I realize that to maintain my own health, I need to get beyond pain, anger and sadness.

For you, I offer this meditation-exercise to help you maintain your own health and ability to take action in daily life.

Before I share this meditation-exercise, I realize that it is valuable for me to discuss two different forms of strength. These ideas arose in my conversation with one of my editors:

The Strength of Anger – in the short term, this can get us moving and it can be a channel for our own pain. But in the long term, it can lead to faulty decision-making. It is short sighted. Further, it can cause significant health problems.
The Enduring Strength of Inner Peace – Inner peace is an ever-renewing source of energy.

As my editor suggested, “If you get your inner energy right you can do more right. Inner peace can help you get past the sorrow and the anger so you can be in the present moment and have all of your resources.”

The below meditation-exercise is not about denying the need for justice and more protection.

The below meditation-exercise is designed to empower you to stay in a place of awareness and strength.

Meditation Magick Exercise on Letting Go and Finding Your Hidden Strength

You will need:

a blue candle
extra virgin olive oil
boline
incense
salt
water

Cast Your Circle in your usual manner.

Cleanse your blue candle with the elements Earth and Water. Then consecrate the blue candle with your incense smoke.

Use your boline and write (on the blue candle) the name of the event that is causing your pain.

Use the olive oil to “dress your candle.”

Concentrate on the blue color, which is for healing.

Light the blue candle and focus on its flame, representing the healing truth of love and strength.

Meditate on the flame. In your mind’s eye, see the flame burning away all the negativity in your aura and the space around you. Once you feel your space/aura is cleansed, go to the next step …

Now imagine the pain of the event in your life. The event may be a personal experience or a public one like the Paris attacks. Create an image (in your mind) that represents the event. See the image floating above the flame. Concentrate on the image until it is a solid image above the candle. Feel it; know it is there.

Breathe deeply in and out, in and out. In your mind’s eye, lower the image into the flame and watch it burn away. Feel the heat in your heart as the image and related pain is transformed into the purity of peace and strength. As the image vanishes, see that all that remains is a phoenix of peace and strength.

Do the Cakes and Wine Ceremony.

Close Your Circle in your usual way.

[When you’re done with the exercise, have the candle continue burning. Make sure that things are safe so that the candle can burn until it goes out on its own. Never leave a burning candle unattended.]

I hope this meditation-exercise supports you in your personal journey of healing.

Blessings,

Moonwater SilverClaw
