“People talk about new beginnings, but they don’t talk about the slog through mud to get there,” my friend, Alicia, said.

She was referring to the transitions that we endure.

I earned one degree at a community college. Then, I went to a “polytechnical” college. The other students had more money than I did. They bought the apps. They were ahead of me. I had to “live at the computer lab.” Worse. Some instructors did not teach. I was behind others. What a lousy transition.

Fortunately, I have a knack for video editing (for example), and I have edited some good work.

In this New Year, let’s talk about beginnings, endings, and transitions.

I have three insights for you.

1. Shift from inner resistance to change.

“Magic is natural. It is a harmonious movement of energies to create needed change.” – Scott Cunningham

Have you ever hesitated to do a ritual to create the change you need in your life?
I’ve noticed that many of us do not want something enough to endure the change that would be required.

Authors Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy wrote about how you can transform your life. There is just one hiccup. To have a big positive new chapter in life, you might have to let go of 80% of your usual habits. That’s right. It’s dropping one’s comfort zone.

I suggest that we look at doing something that is at least in the helpful direction. For example, tonight, it was tremendously cold. My husband and I went for a 12-minute walk. That was better than nothing.

We got over our inner resistance by promising ourselves “It’s just 10 minutes…”

What resistance do you need to let go of?

2. Shift from “Need” to “Want.”

Author Dan Sullivan wrote down in a log what he really wanted every day for 25 years. At that point, he had manifested a loving relationship and created prosperity with work that truly served others.

What do you really want?

What if you could have it…even if it might take three years in real-time?

When you focus only on “what you need,” your canvas is too small. The universe is vast. The God and Goddess want you to have more prosperity and happiness.

How do you define happiness?

If you had all the money you wanted, would you be happy?

I have been talking with friends about “practicing being happy.” What does that require? Being grateful right now for what you got.

Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the Mother of all things and My love is poured out upon the earth.” – The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

The shift from “need” to “want” is NOT about sacrifice. It’s about a shift in energy and perspective.
When you have enough energy, change is a flowing experience.

What rituals will you do to uplevel your energy?

Are you interested in using energy to make a transition from where you are to where you really want to be?

3. Ask the God and Goddess to elevate your energy.

You can use a prayer like this.

Light Goddess,
Dark Goddess,
Goddess make me whole.
Jannis God of doorways,
Jannis God of Beginnings, Endings, and Transitions,
Usher me into my New Year safely.
Help my spirit and body rise in the names of the Gods.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“Do Wiccans get help from the ‘Dark Mother’?” one of my readers asked.

Wiccans know that working with the Dark Mother is helpful when you need to rid yourself of negative energy, illness, and ex-partners.

It is vital to notice that the Dark Mother helps one do something we can call “positive deconstruction.”

Deconstruction can be natural. For example, a tree falls in the woods. It is natural and good for the tree to decompose. Then there will be nutrients for other things to grow.

Here’s another example. A Wiccan can appeal to the Dark Mother by doing a spell in the waning moon (light to dark) to get rid of an illness. You are using magick to get rid of that illness.

As you can imagine, the Dark Mother is the opposite side of the fertile and growing aspect of the Goddess.

A Prayer

Dark Mother,
Help me get rid of _____.
I realize it is natural and good
To let some things decompose
So I may embrace my new chapter of life.

May this process bless your life.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
