“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

“Why is this not changing?” I said. I was using Adobe Photoshop to create an image with golden light. But it wasn’t golden. It was puke gray. Is puke ever gray? (It depends on what you eat.)

I recently read a quote:

“Curiosity was my antidote to fear” – Tina Wells

I have three insights for you.

1. Curiosity changes your focus.

How much of your day is run by fear? Are you afraid of arriving late for work?

Do you dread talking to a co-worker who may criticize your work yet again?

Being full of fear is an awful rut.
My friend Stephen works at a terrible job. But he wonders each day, “How will I have a chance to be kind to someone today?”

This gives him purpose. It changes his focus.

Imagine that you hold curiosity. You can change your focus to: “How will there be some good moments today?”

The birth and rebirth of all nature,
The passing of winter and spring,
We share with the life universal,
Rejoice in the magical ring. – Doreen Valiente

We, witches, can manifest real change.

Imagine that you can cast a spell on your next hour.
What would you like to create in your life?

Would you like to manifest:

Prosperity
Wealth (prosperity and wealth are not the same. Kristina Kuprina, Founder & CEO, Sequoia Wealth Advisors, explains. “Money is one of the tools you use to build the life you want. Prosperity is your health, your relationships, and your connection to a sense of purpose.”)
Fulfillment
Change (whether it be in your work life or something else)

We, witches, can create positive change for ourselves and others.

2. Curiosity opens a door.

The author Tom Marcoux says, “Curiosity opens the door to learning.”
Is that true?
And that question is a starting point for my curiosity.

I aim to be curious about many things in my daily life. Curiousness helps me see things I might have not seen before and in a new light. Something scary might become fascinating.

How can curiosity change how you see a situation?

3. Ask the Goddess to support your curiosity.

Here is a prayer you can use.

Goddess,
Release me from being stuck in a rut.
Guide my curiosity to release myself from the mud of life.
Light my path with new insight.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
