A Shift in Focus and You Find the Goddess Path (a Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments
Path in the woods

“Owwww! This pain is … just too much,” Stephen, a person in my circle, said.
He endured oral surgery, and then, when the anesthetic wore off, he barely held on with Tylenol and Ibuprofen.

What helped? Talking on the phone with friends. How? When talking with a friend, Stephen’s focus would shift. The pain would go into the background. Sometimes for a couple of minutes … or more.

We, Wiccans and witches, can tune into our spiritual path. We can direct our focus.

“In truly understanding the Goddess and God, one comes to understand life, for the two are inextricably entwined. Live your earthly life fully, but try to see the spiritual aspects of your activities as well. Remember—the physical and spiritual are but reflections of each other.” – Scott Cunningham

I reflected on this.
I notice two different types of focus.

One type is a focus on gratitude.

The other type is “what is not perfect.”  An example is: The parent insists that the kid is never good enough.

It all depends on what you focus your mind on.

The focus on gratitude can shift your inner energy.
Stephen found that in his warm connection with a friend, his inner energy went from suffering to gratitude and connection.

“To me, magic is the movement of subtle, natural energies to manifest needed change.” – Scott Cunningham

What do you need to change?
Would you like to do a simple candle ritual?

Remember, your focus can elevate your life. The Goddess meets you on that elevated path.

Here is a prayer you can use:

Goddess,
Help me shift my focus to the good things in life.
Help my mind heal my body and soul.
Inspire me into gratitude for all You have given me
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Falling Out of “Resonating” with Another Person – a Goddess Perspective

/ Moonwater / 5 Comments

“We don’t call each other anymore,” Alicia, someone in my circle, said. She was talking about her estrangement from her former best friend, Cynthia.

“Are you okay with that?” I asked.

“No,” Alicia began. “But it’s like we don’t get each other anymore.” She frowned. “But I still miss her. At least, I miss what we had … who we were … some time ago.”

Recently, I realized I no longer think about my first husband. We met when I was 17 years old. We got married at 18. And, we were divorced in my early 20s.

I’m not the person I was when I was next to him. Thank Goddess!

I recall this quote, which shows the Goddess’s perspective.

“Ye who are feign to learn all sorcery, who have not yet won its deepest secrets, to these will I teach that which is yet unknown. And ye shall be free from slavery…” The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente.

To stay with the person who is anti-how you are resonating now … is a form of slavery.

Goddess supports you to grow into the highest expression of your essence.

Are you now resonating on a higher vibration?
Is it time to let someone go or to reduce your exposure to them?

Remember, the Goddess is as close as your next prayer.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

What I Learned During My Hospital Stay Plus a Surprising Insight from the Goddess

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments

“Isn’t it about the medical team gathering to help you?” my friend, Alicia, asked.

“It is … and it’s not enough,” I said.

I’m deeply thankful to the nurses and the doctors … and I do not have a definitive diagnosis at this time.

“In truly understanding the Goddess and God, one comes to understand life, for the two are inextricably entwined. Live your earthly life fully, but try to see the spiritual aspects of your activities as well. Remember—the physical and spiritual are but reflections of each other.” – Scott Cunningham

What did I learn in the nights in the hospital – that included screams coming down the hall?

As I talked with the Goddess, I felt an internal shift that quieted my worries.

Also, I realized that it’s necessary to stay strong in these areas:

(I’ll use the Elements as a framework.)

  1. Air … keep your thoughts as clear as possible
  2. Water … gather support, express your emotions in healthy ways
  3. Fire … eat, and take in nutrition. You need energy (fire) to make good decisions
  4. Earth … stay grounded (sitting in the hospital bed, I prayed and talked with the God and the Goddess.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,

Are They an Idiot or Semi-Idiot? (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“Oh, no! Did you see that? What an Idiot!” I said, driving, after ducking my car out of the way of an idiot-driver.

“I’m venting,” I said to my husband.

Later, I reflected on this.

Scott Cunningham wrote: “The magic begins in you … Words and actions are used as focal points or keys to unlock the power that we all possess.”

Here are two insights.

1. Carefully choose your venting and take a look at your perceptions

    When, in frustration, I called another driver “an idiot,”  I was venting. But was that all I was doing?

    Upon reflection, I realize that I judged that person based on one action.

    What if that person was a kind teacher, who was rushing to the hospital to visit her brother, who … ironically … was injured in a traffic accident?

    It is possible that perceiving one as surrounded by idiots can cause trouble.

    Our words are a form of magic.

    Venting for five minutes is not driving our friends nuts by complaining for two hours.

    Do you vent?
    Are you judging people and feeling bad as a result?

    2. Ask Goddess to Help You Shift During Your Day

    Here is a prayer you can use:

    Goddess,
    Help me shift from judgment to compassion.
    Let me see the value in the other person,
    Even if I don’t see it now.
    Let me breathe in and out
    So my peace stays all day.
    So Mote It Be.

    Let these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater

    You May Be Surprised (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / 1 Comment

    “I’m exhausted,” my friend, Amy, said.
    “Your Sjögren’s syndrome is a lot to bear,” I said.

    Part of caring for my friends is to listen well.
    I ask questions, and they discover details for themselves.

    I asked, “Would you be okay with exploring two ideas?”
    I waited. Maybe she was too tired at this moment on the phone.

    “It’s okay,” she said.

    “What does the fearful part of you say?” I asked.

    “That I’m done. My life is going to stay in this box of illness. That I’m going to have this level of pain until I leave this planet.”

    We talked some more.

    A few minutes later, I asked, “What would Goddess say?”

    This stumped her.

    She paused.

    I waited.

    Eventually, she said that Goddess would encourage her. Goddess, would say, “Be compassionate with yourself. Because you are My child. Pain has different colors and textures. You’ll have times when you won’t think about the pain.”

    Later, I reflected on this.

    Often, I return to the words of the Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente:

    “Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or turn you aside.  … Let My worship be within the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.  And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente

    May these insights support your journey.

    “I feel so vulnerable,” Sheri, a friend, said.
    I nodded. I deeply related to this.
    I reflected on this later.

    What if we could align ourselves with Goddess? What if we could know Her power?
    And, we can!

    Goddess and the God placed divinity within us.
    That is our essential identity. Yes, our essence.

    Here is something that stands out: the Goddess’s Principles.
    Here is a definition of principle:

    A principle is a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. – Oxford Languages

    We can find some of Goddess’s principles as she speaks in the writing of Doreen Valiente:

    “Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or turn you aside.  … Let My worship be within the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.  And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente

    Here is a prayer to support you in your own identity.

    My Gracious Goddess,
    Show me my own beauty and strength,
    My own power and compassion,
    Let me strive for honor and humility, mirth and reverence in all I do.
    Let me see myself in You, and You in myself.
    So Mote It Be.

    3 Signs You Are on the Right Path (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / 2 Comments

    At fourteen years old, I met the God and Goddess. It was a big surprise. Especially because I was on a retreat for a “conventional religious path.” The retreat leaders sent the attendees into the forest to have quiet time alone. (Well! They would have been surprised to hear about MY experience.)

    I didn’t see the God and Goddess. I felt Their Prescence. The big difference was that my depression symptoms quieted down. Peace flowed over me.

    Every day, my depression symptoms were like a rake clawing my arm. (But worse.)

    Then, when the God and Goddess appeared … it was like I let out a big, cleansing sigh.

    I have three insights for you.

    Here are signs that you’re on the right path …

    1. The Gods introduce themselves to you.

      In my experience and that of others I know, the Gods appear in the time of silence. Some people get “auditory Guidance.”

      My friend, Tiana, gets an “intuitive zing” up her back.

      From experience, she knows that the Gods are supporting her and guiding her.

      2. You see signs of affirmation.

      Imagine you actually see signs that you’re on the right path.

      You may see certain animals that represent the God and the Goddess. Perhaps, you’ll see a mature buck, raven, owl, white heron, or hawk. These animals are good signs that the Gods are guiding you.

      3. You have a knowing or intuitive sense of what to do.

      Sometimes, the Gods lead you through your intuition.

      The first time I encountered a book about Wicca in a bookstore (I miss you Borders!) … I felt like I was coming home.

      You may observe nature and feel a direct connection to something going on in your mundane life.

      Have you suddenly felt relief? – like a weight lifted from your shoulder?

      Or has your chest felt warm and full?

      It can be different for each individual.

      What we do observe is that one often needs to “go quiet” and “make space” for the knowing to appear.

      Learning the Craft is a path.

      Do you feel at home on this path?

      May these insights support your journey.
