Where is Your Freedom to Be Safe? (A Witch’s Perspective)

“That’s where the connection is,” I said to my friend, Judy.

“About what?” she asked.

“When I was 6, I got this intuition to get out of the kitchen. Good thing, too. My older brother and my father were tinkering with an old kerosene lamp—and it EXPLODED. Then, when I was 18, I got the intuition to keep my car motionless even though the light turned green. I sat there for more than 10 seconds. That was good because another car raced through the intersection. It could have slammed into my car. I heard an idea: ‘The best defense is NOT to be there,’” I said.

“So ‘intuition’ is the connection?” Judy asked.

“Yes. And ‘don’t be in the wrong place,’” I said. “But another idea arose for me. Following my intuition made me free. Free of wasted time, unnecessary pain, and plain trouble.”

“Sounds good,” Judy said. “Anything else?”

“When I was 23, I was walking with a friend near a lake. But I got an intuition, ‘Don’t walk over there.’ So, I guided my friend to turn back. It felt like walking in a particular direction would lead to something bad.”

“Wow. That reminds me of something I heard,” Judy said. “Some research points to how people will step into an elevator with someone they feel is sketchy. No animal will go where it feels unsafe. Just humans.”

As I reflect on these three times that my intuition kept me safe, I realize something.

Intuition can be the God and Goddess talking to you.

Here’s a prayer you can use.

Lord and Lady,
Speak to me through my intuition.
Keep me safe from troubles.
Help me grow on my healthy path.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

When the God and Goddess Gift You with Something Important (A Witch’s Perspective)

Alicia, someone I know, feels spun in a tornado of trouble. She has a lying boss, causing her to worries. One of her friends almost lost a leg due to a blood clot. Another friend had a stroke.

Have you had trouble going back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night?

I’ve experienced that.

Then a prayer arrived in my mind. A gift from the God and the Goddess.

It’s simple.

“God, please surround me with Your protection.
Goddess, please give me peace in my dreams.”

Upon receiving this prayer, I took a deep breath.
I started feeling better immediately.

Do you need a prayer to help you calm yourself for sleep?

You can ask the God and Goddess to gift you with a personal prayer.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

The Hidden Rescue from “You’re Making a Bad Decision” (a Witch’s Perspective)

Have you ever watched a friend make an awful decision?

Did you feel powerless as they “crashed and burned”?

A spiritual elder said, “Have you noticed some people are NOT coachable? They do not even accept the teachings of their own life experiences.”

I reflected on this.

Imagine some guiding ideas that can support you in making better decisions.

  • “We can’t blame fate. Every second of each day we’re creating our futures, shaping the courses of our lives.” – Scott Cunningham
  • “If that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee.” – The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente
  • “An it harm none, do what ye will.” – The Wiccan Rede

How about a central idea of “Make a choice to be coachable”?

Coachable how?

  • In meditation and prayer, seek guidance from the Goddess.
  • Talk through situations with trusted friends and spiritual elders.
  • Make the decision from your own center of your being.

Who do you want to be?

A guiding light is to pick your own identity.

Are you …

  • The trusted friend
  • The artist
  • The reliable family member
  • The person expressing their destiny given by the God and Goddess?

How do you see yourself?

What can you do this week to support your true self?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

The Secret Truth About Love (A Witch’s Perspective)

“It’s breaking my heart,” my friend, Sophia, said.

She was watching her friend, Steven, go through another bad interaction with his girlfriend of five years.

Sophia didn’t know what to do.

She could blurt out, “Mariam just doesn’t love you. Now. I don’t know about before. But now—can’t you see what’s going on?!”

That would not help. It would just damage Sophia’s friendship with Steven.

One of my spiritual elders sent me this quote recently.

“Anybody who makes you earn their love doesn’t love you. Love is a gift. It’s freely given. You can’t transact your way to it the way you can transact your way to a promotion or a good grade. The very thing that makes love love is that it isn’t conditional.
Strivers [think], “Okay, I want that feeling of being valued and loved, and so I’ve got to go do something excellent.” And they’ll chase that feeling through their whole lives. They’ll marry people whose love they have to earn. They’ll surround themselves with friends whose love they have to earn. And those people don’t love them. Those are people who are using them. … This mistake turns them into workaholics and success addicts and self-objectifiers. And what we have to remember is that love is a free gift freely given. Only hang around with people who love you on your worst day.” – Dr. Arthur Brooks

Imagine what the Goddess would tell you about real love.

“My love is poured upon the earth … Thine inmost divine self shall be enfolded in the rapture of the Infinite.” – The Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

I reflected on this. Your inmost divine self is already worthy of love. The God and Goddess placed Their Love and your beauty already inside you. You do not have to “earn it.” They freely gave your lovable divine self to you.

Meditating on this, I came to this thought: “You can earn respect. But that’s not the same as love.”

So, do you feel broken?

Or do you open your awareness to the Secret Truth about Love? That is, you have the innermost divine self—the gift the Goddess placed in you.

May these insights support your journey.

Transform Worry – From Inaction to the Blossoming of Positive Energy (A Witch’s Perspective)

“It’s on your face. Something is really bothering you,” one of my spiritual elders said.

“I’m so worried about the situation my friend is in,” I said. “I call him. I listen. But I still feel worried.”

“Imagine this. You take that worry and shift it. You transform it into something to offer to the God and Goddess,” my spiritual elder said.

“Okay. I’m in. How do I do that?” I asked.
We had a discussion.

A first step is to develop a prayer to the God and Goddess.

Worry feels bad if you do nothing.

Developing your own prayer is doing something valuable.

Here is an example:

Lord and Lady,
Give __ “Friend’s Name” __ what they need to grow and express the destiny You have given them.
Help them walk their true path with confidence and endurance.
Bless them with the energy and courage they need to do their inner work.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

A Surprising Solution to Frustration (A Witch’s Perspective)

Years ago, my first husband yelled at me as I walked toward the house where we lived.

This was his way. (No confusion about why I dropped this moron.)

It was an understatement to say I was frustrated with his behavior.

Still, I remember a particular afternoon. He yelled but I simply raised my spiritual shield. His anger just bounced off my shield of peace. I just walked past him.

Recently, I reflected on frustration.

Have you notice that it feels natural that some things get us feeling frustrated?

We can’t control people. We can influence our own inner space.

That’s why our inner work is so important.

“If that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee.” – Doreen Valiente

Today, I noticed that one of my top-drawing blog posts is about attracting positive friends. (Here’s the LINK.)

Here’s a useful thought.

A solution to frustration is: Do that which strengthens you.

It’s an internal process.

Imagine doing a meditation session and including these words of power:

By the Sun, Moon, and Stars!
By Jupiter, Mars, and Venus!
By Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water!
Give me the strength to be my own person.
Keep me safe in my own mind and beyond.
Let me tame my inner whirlwind.
Let me be at peace within,
As I So Will, So Mote It Be

What external events cause you frustration?

You CAN invite the Goddess to help you strengthen yourself.

You can ask Her to guide you, so you feel empowered during times of frustration.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

When Is a Person Like a Wave of Light? (A Witch’s Perspective)

“When you observe light—depending on HOW you observe it—it functions as a particle or a wave,” one of my spiritual elders said.

“What’s this got to do with Wicca?” my friend, Alicia, asked. The three of us had an extended conversation.

“We, witches, have an advantage. We’re not stuck with only one book and one voice,” this spiritual elder said.

I reflected on this.

I recall this quote:

“The most important magical tool that you have is your mind.” – Janet Farrar, in The Inner Mysteries: Progressive Witchcraft and Connection to the Divine

How do we honor this gift from the God and Goddess—our mind?

First, let’s realize that your mind is different than your brain.

Second, with my depression symptoms, it feels like several times my brain and body are out to get me.

To honor my mind—my Essence—I can ask a question: “What would Goddess say about this situation and how I’m feeling?”

At one point, I was feeling awful. The depression symptoms were beating me up.
But a fresh voice of the Goddess showed up in my thoughts. She said, “You’re learning.”

That gave me an internal shift. It was a shift in my consciousness. It felt like falling and scraping a knee. One can learn from mistakes.

Do you want to pray to the Goddess and discover an internal shift?

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Pick the Goddess Path Before You Fall into a “Dark Well” (A Witch’s Perspective)

“There’s got to be something better than this,” I said to a spiritual elder.

We were talking about how several friends were saying:

  • It’s a disaster.
  • What a wreck.
  • Damn, why’d I get this problem now?!

An idea arose.

In a previous post, I shared my quick prayer that helps me cope with tough moments.

I say, “Gods, help me.”

My spiritual elder said, “That’s good! You start from the premise that you’re not alone. And that the God and the Goddess are here to support you. They love you.”

I reflected on this.

Would you find it a good idea to start with “Gods, help me” before these other ideas take over?

  • It’s a disaster.
  • What a wreck.
  • Damn, why’d I get this problem now?!

What quick prayer would you like to make part of your daily life?

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Love and Safety Through the Goddess Way (A Witch’s Perspective)

10000179651752651291632960177

“Do I know you well enough, so you feel safe and loved?” my husband of over 26 years asked me.

Do we know anyone well enough?

“You shall be free from slavery.” – The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

Have you ever felt like a slave to your anxieties?

I have depression symptoms. So, I often feel like crap.

When do I feel safe?
Often, when my husband is next to me.

Recently, I was driving us in my car, and he called out, “Watch out, on your left.” Yes. His keen eyes protected us from an accident.

When do I feel loved?
I feel loved when my kitten, Max, gives me kitty kisses.

I feel loved when my sweetheart gives me a nightly backrub.

Let’s pause a moment.

Do your loved ones know what helps you feel safe and loved?

Here’s a prayer to the Goddess you can use.

Lady of the Moon,
May Your Light shine upon me
And bless me with reverence, kindness, peace, and safety.
May I also let my loved ones know how they can support me.

So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Find Your Music – The Door to the Goddess’s Level (A Witch’s Perspective)

“How is your daily life?”
“It’s crap,” Alicia, someone in my community, said.
The divorce didn’t help.

How is your own daily life?
Do you feel that you connect with the Goddess each day?

Maybe, like many of us, you feel too exhausted to do a ritual.

Then the answer is to do something simple.

First, can you walk for 5 minutes next to trees?
How about listening to comforting music?

In my circle, a friend, Ben, dances for 4 minutes a day. He’s been doing this daily. He does NOT look in the mirror. He just improvises his little dance.

“Sometimes, a move just shows up that’s so in sync with the music. It feels fantastic,” Ben said.

When I talk about “find your music,” I suggest that you find some sacred text that resonates with you. It is like the words function as lyrics.

I resonate with this phrase:

“All acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.” – The Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

Ben likes…

“Keep pure your highest ideal…” – The Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

What sacred text lifts you up? (Leave a comment. Thanks.)

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
