When Friends Leave and the Gods Open a Door

December 2, 2025 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

Have you seen friends abandon you because of your Wiccan faith?

Three former friends come to mind.
They’re gone.
I miss them.

But then I realize this question: “What will I dwell upon?”

Imagine the Goddess was here to coach me.
She might say, “Moonwater, let this go. It’s all right.”

Or…

The God might coach me with this comment: “Who cares? Let them go.”

Well, let’s look at that “Who cares?” part.

It reminds me: “Does caring about the people who chose to leave my life help me at all?”

We’re talking about how we experience our daily life.

If I think about the former friends whose prejudices led them to leave … it won’t change anything. Except it drains my energy. Thinking about them makes me feel bad.

But I could dwell upon a completely different idea.

When a friend chose to reject me due to Wicca, they closed a chapter of my life. A chapter that had them in it.

One thing is: A “fair weather friend” leaves … and my schedule opens for other people to come in.

Okay.

Here’s a prayer you can use:

Lord and Lady,
Help me not dwell on the doors that shut in my life
And help me heal from the loss of the friends who leave.
May I dwell in your Divine Shining Light.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

The Real Way to Deal with “Accumulating Mental Garbage” (A Witch’s Perspective)

November 25, 2025November 25, 2025 / Moonwater / 2 Comments

I’m frustrated. See if you can relate.

It took weeks to get a medical appointment for an MRI scan. Then today, medical team members of another department taped a heart-monitoring device on me.

Poof! That threw away my MRI scan appointment.

Grrrrrrr.

It feels like a bunch of time wasted.
New frustration.
What can I do with this?

“Uh, hello, Goddess, what can I learn from this?” – it’s a thought I had.

[[Go with the flow. Surrender. Be grateful for what you have.]] – an intuitive thought that arose.

Grateful for what?

That my body works.
That I’m still here with my husband, with my parents, and with my glorious cat, Magick.

Earlier today, a car racing on the other side of the highway raced toward me. With its turn signal on.

Well, the genius driving the car merged over, demonstrating that he would be making a turn. But he apparently did not know the turn signal was on.

**An accident almost happened.**

I AM grateful that no accident occurred.

So I say,

“Okay. Goddess, I AM grateful for every blessing.
Help me empty the “can” of mental garbage.”

Here’s a prayer you can use.

Goddess,
Help me empty the can of mental garbage I have collected.
Open my eyes to all the blessings You give me.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Like the Goddess, Rise Above (A Witch’s Perspective) – Ep. 367

Moonwater reveals that you have a hidden choice. You can connect with your divinity placed by the Goddess and God within you. You can untangle yourself from being smothered by problems. You can embrace gratitude, so you shift to the level of the Goddess. Learn a powerful prayer.

“Live Into” Rather Than “Live Up To” (A Witch’s Perspective)

November 18, 2025 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

Yeah, I flunked kindergarten. This made me into “compliant girl.” I had to live up to my parents’ standards about my grades and more. By the way, eventually, I was diagnosed as a person who has dyslexia.

So, there’s that phrase “live up to.”

As a girl, if I said anything original and an expression of my true self, I was chastised.

Yes, these were the parents who dragged me to THEIR church.

Recently, I had a conversation with a spiritual elder. The topic of “live into” versus “live up to” arose.

We, Witches, are called to LIVE INTO the divinity the Goddess and God placed within us.

We do not need to gain someone’s approval.

Each one of us is a unique expression of that divinity.

I remember one of my early boyfriends. I did not feel comfortable expressing my Wiccan spiritual path. So, I said nothing.

Are you finding that you tend to “live up” to someone else’s expectations?

What if you were free to “live into” your true spiritual path and destiny?

Here is a prayer you can use.

My Gracious Lady,
Help me let go of others’ limiting expectations,
Lord of the Greenwood,
Help me live into my true destiny!
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Don’t Let Them Make You React (A Witch’s Perspective)

November 11, 2025November 11, 2025 / Moonwater / 2 Comments

Do you know what sells more than sex? Rage. The algorithms in social media are, reportedly, geared to make people react in anger or rage.

Anger in times of chaos is understandable.
In fact, my new book, World On Fire: How Witches and Wiccans Transcend the Chaos and Find Their Peace, has three sections on anger. Also, not-a-fun fact, the word “anger” shows up 45 times in this book.
Good news: There is a section about how to shift so you can get sleep even if you start angry.

Here, let’s talk about shifting away from falling into a reaction. When you pause and take a breath, you can make a transition to a healthy response. Not a reaction.

Breath of the Loving Goddess

Breath supports and heals you.

So, take a deep breath in, and breathe in the love of the Goddess.

Hold…

In your mind, say, “I breathe in peace. Goddess, thank you.”

Then exhale.

In your mind, picture tension, stress, and pain exiting your body as if you are exhaling black smoke out of your mouth.

In your mind, say, “I breathe out all stress, pain, and tension.”

Repeat this process 9 times.

A warning: As with any form of exercise or exertion, consult with your doctor. Some people may need to be careful about getting lightheaded or hyperventilating.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Imagine What the Goddess Would Say (A Witch’s Perspective)

November 4, 2025November 4, 2025 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

“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

The Wiccan Path to True Friendship

September 7, 2018 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

“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.
