“Do you think Goddess would really say that?” Susan said to Theresa—two acquaintances I know.

I reflected on this.

Do you ever pause and really listen to one of the thoughts that arrive unwelcome in your brain?

Thoughts like:

You’re not good enough.
You can’t survive now.
No one cares about you.

These were the thoughts that Susan was talking about.

Is this what Goddess would tell you?
My heart says, “No.”

Why? Goddess placed divinity within you. You are Her child.

Here’s another detail:

Have you heard that researchers point to 15% of men (in the U.S.A.) report having no close friends? That is a fivefold increase from 1990. Back then it was only 3% of men reported having no close friends.

I add this to our conversation because we all need support and even opportunities to be kind. For my readers who are covens, it creates community.

So, let’s practice putting a metaphorical “pause” on the destructive thoughts.

Ask yourself, “What would Goddess say?”

Listen for something positive.
Something supportive.
Something that inspires you to grow and enjoy your spiritual path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“Sometimes, it feels like there’s so much going on and friendships can get hurt along the way. I mean—we all get stressed out,” my friend, Joyce, said. “I’m wondering if there is a magickal way to strengthen a friendship.”

I gave this a lot of thought, and here is a True Friends Spell.

What you will need:

One pink candle
Candle-holder
Rose Incense
Rose oil
Two rings
Ritual tools

Cast Circle in the usual manner.

Dress your candle by rubbing your oil from tip to base. Cleanse and consecrate your candle and rings. Place the pink candle on your altar in its holder. Place the rings by the candle. Take your friend’s hands and both of you say over the rings together:

I swear upon my soul,

Honesty, love, and kindness I shall show.

I State my true name (_each state your name_),

That I am a true friend to you through and through.

That I will be most honest with you,

As I so will, so mote it be!!

Each person places a ring on the other person’s hand other and says:

True friends, true as can be.

Together now so mote it be!

Do the Cakes and Wine Ceremony

Close your Circle

May this True Friends Spell strengthen your bond with your close friend.
