At 6 years of age, I punched my 9-year-old brother in the gut. The little torturer deserved it. More than that, I deserved to be defended. So I defended myself. That was a badass moment for me.

Now, I don’t recommend violence. But I was 6, I had no one else to go to.

To be a badass, witches need to know what they stand for. They also need to know what they will not tolerate.

I have three insights for you.

1. Experience Inspiration from the Warrior Goddess Athena.

Athena is known to be related to wisdom, crafts, and warfare. I knit, brew wine and mead, make soap, and more. In the past, I painted with oil paints, and I have created jewelry.

The Badass Boundary is to Reserve time for your creativity.

“Your habits define who you’re being.
Your boundaries define the space you require
in order to be who you’re being.” – Jen Sincero

What activity do you like to do? Do you feel called to create something? Something artistic?

2. Experience inspiration from the Goddess Brigid.

Brigid is connected to wisdom, healing, protection, poetry, smithing, and domesticated animals. My cat, Magick, just jumped on my lap. I have the connecting with animals covered. For example, years ago, I volunteered at The Peninsula Humane Society. I took care of the small animals—known as pocket pets.

The Badass Boundary is to Reserve time for connecting with flora and fauna in the world.

Do you enjoy having a pet? Do you have any interest in having a familiar?

3. Experience inspiration from the Goddess Venus.

Venus is related to love, desire, sex, fertility, beauty, prosperity, and victory.

The Badass Boundary is to Reserve time for your personal victories.

I made the first move to bring my husband into my life. It took courage. And he’s sure glad I expressed interest! Lucky guy!

How do you want to feel? In what area of your life can you move forward? What can be a small step toward your next personal victory?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“I feel trapped. All of this trouble with my elderly parents. I just want to reduce any suffering they might feel,” my friend, Sandra, said.

This started my thoughts about freedom as the opposed to being trapped.

“Asking questions is a means of becoming free.” – Gerald Benedict

I have three insights for you…

Consider the personalities of the Gods, which may free you to express yourself.

Which Gods and Goddesses can help you express yourself?

Here are a few thoughts about some of the Gods:

Apollo – the God of music, dance, poetry, truth, prophecy, healing, and more
Brigid – the Goddess of wisdom, healing, poetry, protection, blacksmithing and more
Bragi – the God of fluency of speech and skill with words
Athena – the Goddess of arts and crafts (also the Inventor of the bit, bridle, wagon, and chariot) and more

You may find that you resonate with certain Gods and Goddesses. Creating relationships with Them can serve as a great way to start the creative process.

Ask the Goddess for Guidance.

Asking the Goddess for guidance is a good idea if you are stuck and don’t know where to start.

You can pray, meditate, or use your favorite divinatory tool. The Goddess wants to help you. All you need to do is sit quietly and listen.

Here are questions to ask the Goddess:

How can I let go and just do the creative work?
What other facets can I explore?
What other things may I find enjoyable?

Sometimes, an artist, or anyone creating something, may feel stuck but try to push through.

I’ve learned that it helps to rest. To pause. To connect with the Goddess. It helps to let go of the feelings of “this must get done now!”

Give your intuition time to work. Then your creative juices may flow.

The Goddess waits for your invitation for Her to enhance your creativity.

Ask the God for strength and will.

The God will lend His strength and will to you. After the Goddess gives you the gift of Her Grace, you can move forward with your will to get things done. Doing a ritual for your project can strengthen your resolve.

Dedicating your art to the Gods can help you create sacred art. For example, you can Cast Circle around your workstation or art room and then do the creative work inside the Circle. Consider dedicating your work to the Gods.
