How Witches Keep Going When They Feel They Can’t

“The pressure just doesn’t stop,” my friend, Kassie, said. “My job, my family…”

I listened intently as she expressed her feelings.

I was glad to provide her with real support.

Here are three insights.

  1. Devote effort to be kind to yourself.

Have you found times when the people you count on the most just don’t have the space for you? The answer is often to identify what you can do to be kind to yourself.

I like to listen to music or do a simple arts and crafts project.

If it is nice out, I go for a walk.

Here are some ways you can take care of yourself:

  • Bake or cook something
  • Go for a walk in nature
  • Have a cup of coffee or tea
  • Take a quick nap
  • Enjoy a meditation session
  • Talk with the God and Goddess about your stress
  • Listen to music
  • Read a spiritual text from your favorite author

These are just some ideas for how you can kind to yourself.

  1. Gather support from people who care about you.

Who cares about you? Really ask yourself this question. Some of us have family members who actually do not care much for us. I heard about a woman, Helen, who wished that her mother cared for her. But it just was not true. Fortunately, Helen had an aunt who did care about her.

So, I invite you to find your own islands of safety.

A family member or friend can’t support you if you do not ask. But have a few people not just one person. Avoid making your request a burden. If you always go to only one person, you can burn them out. So, have several friends that you can go to.  For example, my sweetheart has multiple friends who comment on his writing. He asks for a brief ten-minute session, and in return, he does the same for their creative projects.

  1. Ask for the God’s and Goddess’s support.

The Gods have your back. They see all the problems in life as lessons for us.

At certain times in life, you might feel that your troubles are just too much. You might ask, “Why do the Gods let bad things happen to us?” If life is a classroom, the Gods want to support us in learning some lessons that may include pain.

A friend recently said, “If life is a classroom, can I have recess?”

It’s a good idea to create “Spiritual Recess” in your life. When I ask the God and Goddess for support, I light a candle in gratitude and thanks for Their help. This is one way to give and receive in the relationship.

This keeps the relationship healthy. And I love supporting my Gods. I do good works and offer those actions in the names of my God and Goddess.

May these ideas support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Elevate Their Karma for a Positive Reincarnation

“You look worried,” I said to my friend, Susan.

“If karma is true, I’m screwed,” she replied.

I have three insights for you.

  1. Elevate your choices and enhance your karma.

“No man is an island, entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent.” – John Donne

Susan is afraid that the mistakes she’s made in her life will lead to her being reincarnated in a terrible situation. I think of the above quote from John Donne. If we act as part of the continent (humanity) – and we do things that benefit all those involved – then it’s natural for our karma to become more positive. It seems likely that such positivity would have a good effect on our next incarnation.

     2. Realize the role of the Summerlands.

My spiritual elders have brought to my attention that the Summerlands are where you renew yourself, review your past life, and get stronger for the next incarnation. There we communicate with the Gods and with others who have passed before us.

  1. Ask the Goddess to keep you in the present moment.

“There have been thousands of changes in form. Look always to the form in the present; for, if you think of the forms in the past, you will separate yourself from your true Self.” – Rumi

The above quote from Rumi reminds me that enlightenment is in the present moment. I also realize that there are times where I really need to call upon the God and Goddess to help me remain in the present moment. Have you found that it’s easy for you to get caught up with thoughts and bad feelings from the past?

Here’s a prayer to support you:

My gracious Goddess and honorable Lord,
Keep my mind in the present moment.
Steer me clear from worries, upset thoughts, and bad feelings,
So that I may keep myself in the present moment.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Know Their Path is Right for Them

“Why did you become a witch?” my friend, Adriana, asked.

“How much time do you have?” I replied, smiling.

Later, I realized that it is helpful for us, witches, to have clarity about our spiritual path.

Here are three parts of my journey to becoming a witch. Perhaps, you’ll find that you relate to portions of my journey.

  1. You know the Earth is sacred.

As a little girl, I felt the sacredness of the Earth. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was feeling the energies of the different elements. The wind sang my name, and the trees caressed me with their shade. 

I played in the woods all day and talked to the animals. I even did offerings to nature.

I didn’t know that what I did was “spirituality.” I felt wild and close to the Earth. Later, I gained spiritual elders who expanded my understanding.

  1. You want to have more control in your life.

As I grew older, the world of school and the suburb supplanted my young days of natural spirituality.

Without regular time in nature, depression symptoms engulfed me. I needed a ladder to climb out of the darkness that consumed me. Wicca was that ladder. Wicca gave me a way to channel my will to help change my life for the better.

It helped me climb out of the darkness and see the light I so longed for.

I learned magick and began guiding myself like in a canoe on the water. I began to flow with life, not fight it.

  1. You want to know the Gods on a personal level.

At 17, I had an experience that illuminated my spirit. In a meditation session, I met the God and the Goddess. They were full of love and compassion. They had the strength that I needed in my life.

The God and Goddess guided me to do better, to expand to my fullest potential.

I wanted, no, needed, to know Their love and compassion.

Why? The mundane world was not enough. What I needed was the God and the Goddess.

The Gods provided for me. They gave me love and understanding. They guided me through challenging times.

They still lead me today.

I hope these insights help you on your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Elevate a Ritual for More Power

Casting Circle
Casting Circle

“How did everyone in your coven know to point their athame in one direction all at the same time?” my friend, Samuel, asked.

“It’s a motion that we’ve practiced many times,” I replied.

When you want to elevate the power of your ritual, it’s necessary to rehearse the various elements for maximum effectiveness.

Here are three insights.

  1. Select the right words.

Witches know that words have intrinsic power. To many of us the word love means something deep and essential. If you use the wrong words in a ritual, you can weaken the result. More than that, you could actually create the opposite of what you desire.

For example, Sara did a money spell. She asked for $8,000 to come to her for the vacation of her dreams. She made a mistake. She failed to be specific and also to put in “protection clauses” into the words she used.

The next day she was in a car accident. She suffered significant pain and trouble. Eventually, she gained $8,000 dollars from the settlement. But she said the ordeal was not worth it.

It would have been better if Sara had been careful with her words. An example of a “protection clause” is: “An it harm none.”

  1. Select the right motions.

As witches, we understand how to make a Circle. Many of us use our athames and focus. We draw the circle of power around a particular space. We focus the energy through the athame and create the sacred boundary between the worlds. We say certain words and do certain actions to succeed in this.

However, if you don’t follow the steps correctly the Circle will not be cast properly. Then it will fail in its job of protecting you.

So, the right actions are truly important. Be sure to do the proper steps and in the proper order.

  1. Work in harmony with the God and Goddess.

The Gods placed divinity within you. It’s natural for you to harmonize with the divinity of the Gods. However, when you see a band, or an orchestra, become out of tune, harmony is destroyed. With the wrong words and the wrong motions, you’re destroying the harmony with the God and Goddess.

It’s essential that you take great care in selecting the words and the motions. People who are not witches think that magick is supernatural. But we know magick is natural. However, there are people who like to “wing it,” that is, they just improvise without having a solid plan. This can yield unwanted results.

It is understandable that an improvised ritual may have power. Still, we’re talking about taking great care with your ritual. Think of how some of the best music in the world has a wonderful structure. When the composer was working on that music, they took the principles of composing and used great care to create something of surprising beauty and harmony.

Just imagine if you took such care with your rituals.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Elevate Their Personal Strength with Awareness and Leverage

Lisa was shocked about being out of breath from simply climbing up the stairs in her home. That day something clicked. She made a decision then that she had to do something to improve her health and fitness. Lisa stepped forward into a new daily pattern. She focused on healthy snacks and consistently exercising.

“What made the difference?” I asked.

“I guess I simply made a decision,” Lisa said.

  1. Make a decision now.

Researchers notice that people tend to only change when they are in pain or desperation. Lisa’s shock and upset about being out of breath while climbing stairs served as a turning point for her.

Is there something that you need to decide? Think about what you want. Perhaps, more importantly think about what pain you want to cease. Find your path and make a decision now.

  1. Identify how you can use leverage.

In a science class I learned that one can use a lever. Depending on where you put the fulcrum, you could use a little bit of effort to lift a heavy load. Using the lever and fulcrum illustrates leverage.

This example taught me about the value of both awareness and strength. My example demonstrates employing the awareness of a scientific principle. Leverage applies to daily life, too. You could leverage the use of your time. For example, every day I go on a walk with my sweetheart. We are doing three things at the same time. We give ourselves a time for refreshing our perspective. We get out of the house and enjoy the sky and trees. We enhance our relationship with this positive together-time. Plus, we are exercising.

We experience three benefits for one activity. Now that’s leverage. It develops strength in us. We strengthen our relationship. We strengthen our mental wellbeing, and we strengthen our bodies.

  1. Realize your spiritual beliefs can leverage your personal growth and spiritual renewal.

Your personal beliefs, as a witch, create your personal growth. We, witches, use magick and the love of the Gods to help us grow spiritually, mentally and more.

When I first started with the Craft, I was a shell of the person I am today. I am stronger and more focused on creating change in my life. Before the Craft, I just drifted in my own misery. But once I found the Gods, my bud bloomed into the rose that I am today.

Because of the God and Goddess, I have stronger boundaries because I value myself more than I did before experiencing the Craft.

How has your experience in the Craft strengthened you?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Use Wise Attention instead of Self-Absorption

Have you ever had a thought that beat you up? Maybe you made a mistake, and you felt bad about it.

My depression symptoms are like a bad army that marches on my head. The depression symptoms show up as certain thoughts that form awful criticisms. I need to be careful so those thoughts do not take over my experience of life. Instead, I must use wise attention to keep me from spiraling downward.

Wise attention is part of a process of expanding your perception.

I have three insights for you.

  1. Let go of Self-Absorption.

Many of us have a friend who bends our ear with constant complaints and tales of pain. When someone is feeling pain, it’s easy to be self-absorbed. Giving in to such habits will create more pain in your life. If you are talking about your back pain, and ruminating all day on it, you only make yourself and others miserable.

We can look on negative thoughts like leaves on a stream. Some of us pick up a negative thought (“a leaf”) and place it close to our eyes so we can see nothing else.

Instead, we can make a shift to wise attention.  

  1. Bring wise attention into focus.

Wise attention is about having a perspective that is expansive. For example, Susan is dealing with back pain. However, she pauses and does some deep breathing. It’s true she is experiencing pain. But she also realizes that she has blessings all happening at the same time. Her family members are well. She has a job that provides financial prosperity so her family is supported. As she deep breathes and experiences gratitude, she discovers that her back pain reduces a significant amount.

Wise attention is not denying you that you are in pain or discomfort. That would be unhealthy. Wise attention is stepping back from your pain and discomfort and seeing it for what it is. You can step back and see a larger picture.

  1. Ask the Gods to guide you through it all.

My depression symptoms are with me every day. Through focusing on wise attention, I realize the strength of my depression symptoms is not a constant. When I’m in meditation or when I ask the God and Goddess for help, I can experience a shift into wise attention.

I also deep breathe and pray to the Gods to help me calm down. I can stand back and see my problems as part of the fabric of my life.

Years ago my sweetheart said, “You have a choice. You could look on yourself as a spirit who deals with depression symptoms instead of merely calling yourself a ‘depressed person.’”

The idea that I am a spirit who is not identified with depression symptoms is part of wise attention. I also realize I will have a chance to be reincarnated without such limitations. This reminds me that I am a spirit having an experience with this particular body. Potentially, in my next incarnation, my spirit will be free of such depression symptoms. And now, it is my challenge to shift to wise attention and avoid allowing depression symptoms to crush me into self-absorption.

Have you had moments of experiencing wise attention? Have you had the experience of dealing with pain but also being aware of the blessings in your life? I invite you to pause, breathe deeply, and observe what blessings you do have on your path.

May these insights be supportive of your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Elevate the Positive Divinity Inside Them

“It almost feels like I have two opposite voices inside me. One is full of hope and the other one is full of fear,” Darrell, a friend said.

This conversation reminded me of something called the Theory of Possible Selves by Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius.

Often, I write about how the Gods have placed divinity within us. Recently, I’ve been thinking about how that personal divinity is connected with hope and love.

The Theory of Possible Selves suggests that you have possible Hoped-for Selves and you have Feared Selves.

Here are three insights.

  1. Identify how your Feared Self operates during your daily life.

During my day, my Feared Self acts like a loud passenger that criticizes me down to the bone. The criticism rises from my fear related to my health and connected to fear of somehow becoming homeless. The real problem is the Feared Self acts like a shackle that prevents you from getting more and better into your life. What is your own Feared Self saying to you?

  1. Discover how you would like your Hoped-for Self to be more present in your life.

My Hoped-for Self is a quiet passenger. Much more subdued than the Feared Self. I need to coax it out from the background. I must feed it to give it strength. My Hoped-for Self needs space to grow. If you don’t make the appropriate space, the Feared Self will take over.

Imagine a garden. Your Hoped-for Self is like roses. And the Feared Self is like weeds. You need to tend the garden so the Hoped-for Self (roses) will thrive. If you don’t, the weeds will take over.

  1. Use a simple ritual to elevate and honor your Hoped-for Self.

Here is a simple ritual that you can do to honor your Hoped-for Self.

Timing: Waxing to full moon. During the sunrise in the morning.

What you will need:

  • One orange chime candle
  • Boline
  • Rose oil
  • Candle holder
  • Fireproof surface
  • Silver ring

Cast Circle in the usual manner. Cleanse and consecrate all your items.

Dress the orange chime candle with rose oil. Use the boline to carve Hoped-for Self on the orange chime candle. Put the ring around the candle. Place the candle in the candle holder. (Be careful: If your ring has gems in it, watch out because they may be damaged if placed near flames.)

Now concentrate on your Hoped-for Self. Think of all the things you hope for in yourself and the world around you. Feel the happiness of all you hope for.

Once you have that feeling firm in your heart, light the chime candle and say:

Little bright dancing flame,
I instill this ring in your name,
Your energy runs down into this ring,
Instilling my Hoped-for Self in this thing.
Hoped-for Self is now instilled,
Full of energy and now fulfilled.
So Mote It Be.

Let the chime candle burn itself out on its own. Once that has happened, place your ring on your finger.

Every time your Feared Self rises, twist the ring on your finger clockwise (“deosil”.) Say, “Hoped-for Self is here to stay.”

Cakes and Wine Ceremony

Close Circle

May these insights help you on your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Take Care of Their Heart

Are you taking care of your heart?

A friend, Steve, told me a story that touched my heart. Years ago, he taught summer day camp children. One boy had trouble with the project the other children were working on.

The boy, “Mike,” had a problem holding a pair of scissors.

Steve thought that maybe the boy had mobility issues.

But then it dawned on him, and he looked for a left-handed pair of scissors.

Mike’s eyes lit up. He could use the left-handed scissors well.

This story reminds me that we may be failing to support ourselves.

We are not broken. We may miss what we need to do well in our lives.

Here are three insights.

  1. Look for your personal way of moving in the world.

As an individual, do you feel you’re out of step with others? For example, being dyslexic, I have my own way of seeing and moving in the world. I am more motivated by images than text. I am very visual and see the world in a way that others do not.

How do you experience and move through your world?

  1. Ask yourself, “Am I supporting myself in a unique and personal way?”

As witches, we have unique ways of doing things. We do not follow the pack. But have you really looked at how you support yourself? Are you devoting time and energy to help yourself stay strong? For example, I knit and bake. Sometimes, I take a break from one or the other. It’s about listening to myself. Additionally, I support myself with prayer and talking to the God and the Goddess.

  1. Ask the Goddess for insight on how to support yourself in a personal way.

Meditation is a great way to talk with the God and Goddess. You can go into a meditation and ask these questions to the Gods:

  1. What is the most helpful way to support myself?
  2. How can I be kinder to myself?
  3. How can I grow?

May these insights support your heart as you travel your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Open the Door to a Higher Level of Practice

 

“What makes a real difference?” I asked in a conversation with a spiritual elder.

One word arose: “Listening.”

I realized that listening actually moves us, witches, to a higher level of practice.

Here are three insights.

  1. Listen to what people near you are truly saying.

Someone tried to give me advice that I didn’t ask for. I disagreed with their assessment. But I listened to their words, ideas, and emotion.

My point is that listening, in this situation, does not mean agreement. You do not need to follow another person’s advice.

It’s more like a friend saying, “You might want to take a look at this.”

If you disagree with someone, it doesn’t mean that they are completely wrong.

Listening is a skill. And just like magick, you need to practice it to get better.

Here is an example of listening. A family member has a process. When someone says something that he does not relate to immediately, he says, “I’ll stir that in my soup.” He means that he will give the idea some thought and time. He is free to change his perception or approach later.

The effective witch listens to conversations because clues for uplifting your life can show up in such conversations.

  1. Listen to the God and Goddess

“And ye shall be free from slavery….Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente

When listening to the God and Goddess, practice quieting your mind. A practice of meditation and prayer can help you.

We can look on being caught in negative thinking as a form of slavery. It helps to practice your own methods to shift out of negative thought patterns. Someone I know places her hand on her heart and tells herself: “I’m okay. I’m safe. I’m loved. God and Goddess love me.” She tells me that this helps her shift out of fearful thoughts. In a quieter state of mind, she talks with the God and Goddess.

  1. Pay attention for the “Signs”

We can become good at spotting the signs from the Gods. Signs can come in many forms from unexpected appearances of certain animals to something that will make you stop and think. For example, many witches consider seeing an image of a white heron or the actual bird as a sign of the Goddess. It is a positive sign.

“I am the Gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy unto the heart.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente

When you receive a positive sign, devote some time to think about it and meditate on it. Watch for any further signs. 

May these insights support your path.

How Witches Discover Better than New Year’s Resolutions

“That’s it! I’m done with New Year’s Resolutions. They just give me stress, and they don’t give me anything good,” my friend, Audrey, said.

I reflected on the contradictions and problems that arise with New Year’s Resolutions.

Here are three insights.

  1. Find the theme of your New Year.

Instead of having a New Year’s Resolution, try having a New Year’s Theme. What’s the usual pattern for a New Year’s Resolution? You want something, perhaps, to lose weight. You tell yourself that you’re going to do a specific difficult action repeatedly until you get what you want. You have probably seen how New Year’s Resolutions tend to be broken.

But a new theme for the year is something different. It is a particular direction for the upcoming year. That means that it doesn’t need to be perfect. You can still be you and start a theme of where you want to go in your year. A theme can be something like demonstrate more kindness or take new steps to support a long-term dream. When you take any small action in the direction of your theme, you are succeeding.

  1. Observe how things blossom.

New Year’s Resolutions tend to be about doing something that is hard and gritting your teeth to keep going. On the other hand, a theme can be soft. The theme can lead to more possibilities for you to blossom into something different.

You can sit in meditation and observe how your life blossoms around you. You may discover new opportunities or new friends.

For example, I have a friend who got a new job. It requires him to move to another state. At first, he was hesitant, but he knows the God and Goddess have plans for him and his new chapter of life.

  1. Realize the God and Goddess’s overall plan for your journey.

The God and God have placed divinity within you. How does each one of us, as an individual, fulfill the potential of such divinity? Since the Gods have an overview of how you can grow as a spirit, They understand you may need to go through difficult times which you would not choose to endure.

If you find yourself in a tough time, you might consider it to be a transitional chapter of your life. Remember that the God and Goddess will guide you on your path.

I know that the Gods have a plan for me. Sometimes, I may not like certain details on the path set before me. Still, the Gods have a plan that supports the best for my learning.

May you use these insights to support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
