“What happens when coven members have a big disagreement?” my friend, Sandra, asked.

“Each coven tends to have its own rules on disagreements. Also, each coven looks to their Tradition,” I began.

And, here are some thoughts that may help.

1. Seek the leadership of the High Priestess or High Priest.

You go to the leader. Ideally, the leader listens as the concerned people each take a turn to express their views.

2. Ask, “Is there anything else you want me to know?” and then listen.

The leader of the coven listens carefully.

Then when the person appears to have fully expressed themself, one can ask another question. Is there anything else you want me to know?

This shows that the leader cares. It also helps to say back what was said. Then ask, “Do I have that about right?”

The person will confirm it or add some more.

3. Discover together “The Third Alternative.”

In a disagreement, one may find two opposing ideas. If people keep up the discussion, it is possible to find a “third alternative.” Person One wants Alternative One. Person Two wants Alternative Two.

The answer may be the Third Alternative—an idea beyond both suggestions.

You might add a prayer:

Goddess,
Guide us to find a Third Alternative.
May we develop a way to support the whole coven.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“No!” the little girl said.
Her mother was ordering Chow Mein at the restaurant.
“I want fried rice,” the girl emphasized.
“Okay,” her mother said.
As I saw this, I thought that the little girl had two of three pieces of a process.
I wondered if her mother would reveal the third step.

I have three insights for you.

1. Say “no” to remove distractions.
Have you ever been in the beginning of a romantic relationship, and you avoided saying what bothers you? Because you want the other person to like you? What if you prefer coffee? But your new partner offers you tea?

Do you just go along?

Some people “just go along” so much that the other person does not know what they like or dislike. It is almost as if the other person has not met the real person.

I notice that if you say no—politely—then you can be a real person. In a romantic relationship, the partner probably wants to please you. Sometimes their efforts work. Sometimes, they don’t.

As he ages, my husband’s tastebuds are changing. He lets me know what he discovers. He is surprised that he does not like strawberry ice cream anymore.

Early in our relationship, I let my husband know that I did not find his taste in jewelry to work for me. He waits for me to show what I prefer. That works.

When you tell your true preferences, your relationship can grow.

2. Say, “I want…”
What do you want? Do you know?

For the little girl, what she wanted was clear. She wanted the rice, not the Chow Mein. This was an easy choice for her. She knew what she wanted.

As we get older, things change. Sometimes, we can be shocked that we do not want what we have.
I heard of a doctor who started as a poor kid. He did everything he needed to do to become a doctor. Five years as a doctor, and he was burned out.

The problem now is that he does not know what he wants, which is different from being a doctor.
What profession would he go into now?

Consider using divinatory tools like the Tarot to find new paths to explore.
Notice when it’s time to ask the Gods.

3. Ask the Goddess to help you “Hold it together.”
In the restaurant, I thought that it was healthy for the little girl to say what worked for her and also what she wanted.

However, later that afternoon, it looked like the girl was running her mother’s life. A thought occurred to me. The mother could say, “Hold it together. Sometimes, you don’t get what you want. Sometimes, you just need to hold it together.”

Are you feeling low recently? Frustrated? How do you hold it together?
My husband was feeling low. So, he called a friend, Ethan.
“How do you take care of yourself when you’re feeling stressed?” Ethan asked my husband.
“I call you, Ethan,” my husband said. Then he laughed.
Ethan chuckled.
My husband said they both felt better.

Sometimes just calling a friend is the way to go.

Then, we experience times when our pain and confusion are deep. Seeing a therapist can help.
And … we can meditate and call upon the Goddess. She will listen to you, nurture your feelings, and guide you to take new steps.

The Goddess stands close, ready to support you.

The Divine is in you. The Goddess and God put it into you.
Do you need to honor your inner voice?
Who are you? What do you want to say “no” to? What do you want?
Do you need to hold it together?

Develop a daily routine for meditation and prayer. This is a true way to “hold it together.”

May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
