At night, I cannot eat enough. What?

Have you had this experience? You eat something—something good like a dessert.

Then it’s chips.
Soda.
Cookies.
Cashews.
Peanut butter M&Ms.

(Not you? Am I alone here?)

Recently, I said, “You can’t satisfy an inner need with outer stuff.”

(But I’m willing to try.)

I have three insights for you.

1. What is your inner need?

Some researchers suggest that we are 95% motivated by things in our subconscious mind.

So how do you make the subconscious stuff visible to your conscious mind?

You can meditate and ask the Gods about some of the driving factors.

But, one of the most important things is to observe your actions.

Ever open a cupboard door looking for something to eat?

You know that hunger—that no matter how much you eat—is never satisfied? Just close that cupboard door.

It’s Halloween time in the United States. Or for us witches Samhain.
How do you feel when you see the green-skinned, cackling caricature of a “so-called witch”?

What does this cackling, green caricature need? Popcorn?

Chocolate? Definitely chocolate.

Let’s pull back. Away from that… What could be the inner need?

Wanting comfort.

So, how would you like to be comforted?

(I do rely on my coffee in the morning…)

2. Step on the path of “centered and whole.”

Have you attended a ritual with other witches and felt at home?

Or…

You’re a solitary witch and your personal ritual came together well. You felt calm, but also invigorated!

To get to “centered and whole” you need to push away distractions.

So, what is distracting you?

3. Ask the Goddess for clarity in the face of distractions.

To me, cookies, pastries, and other treats are a plea for comfort. What about you?

Here is a prayer you can use.

Goddess, clear my mind,
Free me from the mud of distracting thoughts and feelings.
Flush me clean with the spring waters of Your love.
Hold me close with Your arms around me.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Drinks

“I heard Wiccans use drugs,” Sandy said.

“Yes and no,” I replied.

True, many Wiccans use wine in our the Cakes and Wine ceremony. Alcohol is a drug.

Not all Wiccans use alcohol in the Cakes and Wine ceremony. Some substitute grape juice or another fruit juice. Some completely abstain from all drugs like alcohol and caffeine. Yes, even some teas are off the list.

We can’t throw all Wiccans into any rigid category. Some use other natural drugs to combat ailments such as depression symptoms, arthritis, and other sources of pain. Some imbibe marijuana, for example.

It is truly up to the individual practitioner to choose what may help for medical reasons or improved quality of life.

I know some Wiccans who aim to stay away from manufactured, pharmaceutical drugs. Some Wiccans choose to imbibe natural drugs like caffeine, alcohol or marijuana.

Many Wiccans live in states where marijuana use is illegal, and they abide by local laws. They do not break the rules of the place they live in.

I take medications that help me with an occasional migraine headache and for working with my depression symptoms. I do consult my doctor and monitor the effects of the drugs. Yes, do consult a physician about the use or non-use of drugs.

I invite you to pay close attention to how you do or do not use drugs. What results are you getting? What might you want to change for the better?

Blessings,
