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

To the Gods’ Will (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“What about receiving intuitive thoughts from the Gods?” Jim, someone in my circle, asked.

Later, I reflected on this.

What would be an indication that the thought originated with the Gods?

One of my spiritual elders suggested, “It would not be ego-focused. And, it would not harm you.”

Look at what the Goddess said:

“Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever toward it; let naught stop you or turn you aside.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

So, if a thought is negative and makes your life worse, it is NOT from the Gods.

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.” – Kahlil Gibran

“Maybe some of our painful experiences are necessary to open our understanding,” one of my spiritual elders said.

I thought about this. Perhaps, breaking old habits that are bad for you … may bring pain.

So, pain may be unwanted. But we can have a different thought. How about… “What can I learn from this?”

Or “How can I have empathy, now that I have experienced this tough situation?”

The Goddess stands with you.
What is Her will? That you show kindness to yourself, humans, and other beings.
Nature is our home.

Now, how will you honor the Goddess, your true self, and your home?

May these insights support your journey.

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,

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,

Nurturing a Relationship – Is It Casting a Spell? (a Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“Three divorces?” I asked.

A friend said, “Yeah. And that’s just recently for some friends I have.”

“Three separate couples?”

He nodded.

Many of us who deeply love our life-mate want to nourish our relationship.

In a recent conversation with a spiritual elder, I thought about how the elements of casting a spell may be similar (in a way) to making a relationship strong and sacred.

Briefly, here are some ideas.

We’re using an analogy of nurturing a relationship.

  1. Bless water and bless salt. Combine them to make holy water.
    • Any relationship is a combination of energies.
  2. Cleanse with water and earth
    • Have a sturdy foundation of respecting each other.
  3. Cleanse with air and fire
    • You need to clear the air. Sometimes, you ask for forgiveness.
  4. Cast Circle
    • Make your home a safe haven from the outside.
  5. Call the Quarters (which is calling in the 4 Directions represented by The Elements)
    • Call on friends and family, whom you trust, to support you and your partner.
  6. Do your spell.
    • Show up and hug each other all the time.
  7. Raise energy – speaking words, raising a cone of power. Release the cone of power to do its job.
    • Pay attention to what lifts your partner’s spirits. If it includes watching some Star Trek Series with them … okay.
  8. Cakes and wine ceremony.
    • Food. Enough said.
  9. Close your Circle.
    • Find “completion points” in your day. (For example, my sweetheart massages my back every night.)

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

When the Universe Refuses to Go Your Way (A Witch’s Perspective)

“Eat! Eat, you feline master of the universe,” I said to my cat. My cat? I am cat staff.

(Okay, that’s an old comic line).

Here’s a prayer you can use:

Goddess,
Calm me down.
Open my perspectives.
Strengthen me to flow with things as they are.
So Mote It Be.

May this insight support your path.

What is the Real Gift? (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“What was the gift in your brother calling you fat—when you were a little girl?” someone in my circle asked.

“I don’t know … Empathy, maybe,” I said. I know what being ridiculed feels like. I can connect and empathize with others who have had a similar experience.

“For if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without.” – the Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess as written by Doreen Valiente

The gift for me may have been that I learned not to rely on human approval.

What do we seek within? It’s the divinity that the God and Goddess placed within you.

I had another thought. Without experiencing my brother’s ridicule, I would not have a certain form of compassion.

“You can’t pour from an empty cup.” – often attributed as a Zen master’s comment

Some authors suggest: “Strength comes from struggle.”

Here’s a prayer you can use:

My Lord and Lady,
May my tough experiences
Transform into compassion and strength.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
