I was 18 years old, and I got married. I was more running away from my parents than running towards a life with my 18-year-old husband. No, I was not pregnant.

It is decades since my divorce. When I reflect on the process, I realize there is no way forward without letting go of shackles.

I have three insights for you.

1. Abandon what is “Not good enough.”

My parents will keep watching a mediocre film. On the other hand, my current husband will turn to me and ask, “Is this film working for you?” If something is not good enough, he will let it go.

Is there something or someone in your life that isn’t good enough?

2. Abandon forcing something.

When I knew my marriage had to end, I dreaded my parents’ disapproval. Still, I moved forward with ending the marriage.

But there were months that I tried to force the marriage to work. That was useless.

Are you trying to force something?

3. Ask the Gods for intuition.

I’ve learned to listen to my intuition. This is where I receive Divine Guidance.

Here is a prayer you can use.

Lord and Lady,
Open the door to my intuition,
Quiet down my fear,
Help me step forward on my path.
So mote it be.

May these insight 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.
