Goddess Saved My Ass (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

I was 17 years old.
I didn’t know that day that I might not make it to my 18th year.
After a boring day of high school, I walked to my parked car.

It was on a side street. I felt it was safer because some people damaged cars parked in the school lot.
I drove off and soon pulled up to an intersection.
The light turned green.
My foot automatically went to the accelerator.

But I felt a command, “Don’t go.”

I dropped my foot to the floorboard.

Whoosh! A car roared through the intersection. It would have smashed my car and taken my life.

Thank you, Goddess!

After this, I have reflected on the lesson.

1. Make space to listen for the Goddess’s direction.

    When I was saved by the Goddess, I was a solitary witch. I was learning about Wicca and witchcraft.
    It’s possible that my being new to the Craft helped me stay open to lessons from the Goddess.

    Now, I keep a space to listen for the Goddess’s direction by talking to Her each day.

    Do you devote time to talking with the Goddess?

    Even 3 minutes may be helpful. We recall that “3” is a sacred number.

    2. Sometimes, the Goddess’s direction is surprising.

    I was surprised about the Goddess directing me to sit there when the traffic light was green.

    Percy, someone I know, failed to listen to the Goddess’s surprise direction. He was at work, and a co-worker brought in a homemade apple pie. He received a thought, “Do not have any pie!”

    He didn’t listen. He wanted to be “nice.” He had one bite, and a walnut shell in the pie broke his tooth in half!

    Have you ever had an intuitive thought that seemed unusual, but it could protect you?

    3. Pray to the Goddess.

    Here is a prayer you can use.

    My Gracious Lady of the Moon.
    Open my mind so I can hear You speak,
    Help me hear You so I don’t weep.
    Give me lessons that I can learn,
    So my life improves in turn.
    Open my eyes so I can see,
    The blessings You have for me.
    So Mote It Be

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,

    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.

    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.)

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

    / Moonwater / 3 Comments

    “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).

    Have you noticed how much you do not control?

    I get … disgruntled … about car drivers who do exactly the wrong thing on the road. How did they pass the driver’s test? Oh … a miracle. A bad one.

    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.

    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.

    When Your Thoughts Choke Your Action (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / Leave a comment

    “Do I tell him? Will this destroy our relationship before it’s begun?” This thought terrorized me.
    How did I get into this mess?

    I just had a date with this new guy. This was years ago.
    He was doing a video project. It did not look good.

    Do I tell him the truth?
    Would he want to hear what I perceived?

    You’ve probably heard the phrase “Go big or go home.”

    If I couldn’t tell him the truth, maybe we wouldn’t be able to have a healthy relationship.

    So, did I tell him?

    Yes. I was brief. “I don’t think you can make money with this project.” The quality was not good enough.

    Over the next couple of days, he surprised me.
    He listened. He canceled the project.

    It was a hard decision for him. He had to take responsibility for disappointing several people. No one wants to put time and effort into something that gets cancelled.

    You may have heard that … many people throw money into something. But they do not quit when logic shows that the project is not working.

    By the way, who is this guy?
    He’s my husband. We’ve been happily together for more than 25 years.

    Oh, I’m so glad he canceled the project. That video project could have wasted a significant amount of time and money.

    What do you do when you’re confronted with a big decision?

    Do you give in to fear?

    Go to the God and the Goddess.

    Here is a prayer you can use:

    Lord and Lady,
    Let me hear the truth through the noise of distraction.
    May my supportive intention be felt by this person.
    May we grow strong like the mighty oaks.
    So Mote It Be.

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,
