3 Signs You Are on the Right Path (A Witch’s Perspective)

July 2, 2025July 2, 2025 / Moonwater / 2 Comments

At fourteen years old, I met the God and Goddess. It was a big surprise. Especially because I was on a retreat for a “conventional religious path.” The retreat leaders sent the attendees into the forest to have quiet time alone. (Well! They would have been surprised to hear about MY experience.)

I didn’t see the God and Goddess. I felt Their Prescence. The big difference was that my depression symptoms quieted down. Peace flowed over me.

Every day, my depression symptoms were like a rake clawing my arm. (But worse.)

Then, when the God and Goddess appeared … it was like I let out a big, cleansing sigh.

I have three insights for you.

Here are signs that you’re on the right path …

1. The Gods introduce themselves to you.

In my experience and that of others I know, the Gods appear in the time of silence. Some people get “auditory Guidance.”

My friend, Tiana, gets an “intuitive zing” up her back.

From experience, she knows that the Gods are supporting her and guiding her.

2. You see signs of affirmation.

Imagine you actually see signs that you’re on the right path.

You may see certain animals that represent the God and the Goddess. Perhaps, you’ll see a mature buck, raven, owl, white heron, or hawk. These animals are good signs that the Gods are guiding you.

3. You have a knowing or intuitive sense of what to do.

Sometimes, the Gods lead you through your intuition.

The first time I encountered a book about Wicca in a bookstore (I miss you Borders!) … I felt like I was coming home.

You may observe nature and feel a direct connection to something going on in your mundane life.

Have you suddenly felt relief? – like a weight lifted from your shoulder?

Or has your chest felt warm and full?

It can be different for each individual.

What we do observe is that one often needs to “go quiet” and “make space” for the knowing to appear.

Learning the Craft is a path.

Do you feel at home on this path?

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,

How Witches Take the Necessary Step to Receive Divine Guidance

October 16, 2024 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

I was 18 years old, and I got married. I was more running away from my parents than running towards a life with my 18-year-old husband. No, I was not pregnant.

It is decades since my divorce. When I reflect on the process, I realize there is no way forward without letting go of shackles.

I have three insights for you.

1. Abandon what is “Not good enough.”

My parents will keep watching a mediocre film. On the other hand, my current husband will turn to me and ask, “Is this film working for you?” If something is not good enough, he will let it go.

Is there something or someone in your life that isn’t good enough?

2. Abandon forcing something.

When I knew my marriage had to end, I dreaded my parents’ disapproval. Still, I moved forward with ending the marriage.

But there were months that I tried to force the marriage to work. That was useless.

Are you trying to force something?

3. Ask the Gods for intuition.

I’ve learned to listen to my intuition. This is where I receive Divine Guidance.

Here is a prayer you can use.

Lord and Lady,
Open the door to my intuition,
Quiet down my fear,
Help me step forward on my path.
So mote it be.

May these insight support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Reliably Access Intuition

November 5, 2020 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

In a moment, the lamp would explode.

I didn’t know that, but I felt something in my chest and head.

It told me, “Get out of here!” I ran from the kitchen to the patio.

In the next moments, the explosion of the camping lamp caused a fire in the kitchen, which sent my brother to the hospital with third-degree burns.

I was seven years old. In my household, my thoughts didn’t count. Besides, I only got the message a brief time before the explosion. I did not know what was going to happen so I didn’t have words to tell family members. I just received a warning of “Get out of here!”

Would you like your own intuition to warn you and to guide you to improve your life?

Here are three insights:

Find the “space” of your intuition.

As I mentioned, I felt the intuitive message in my chest and head.

I think of this space as my intuition space. It’s the location in my body where I feel that my intuition communicates with me.

So, where is your intuition space? Where do you feel your intuition? Some people feel it in the pit of their stomach while others feel it in their heart. Others feel the tension in their shoulders or neck.

The point here is that we pay attention to how we feel and where we feel it.

Allow the “time” of your intuition to manifest.

Do you ever wish you could just get an answer from your intuition now? I wish it worked that way, and sometimes it does.

But most of the time I find that it takes time to access your intuition.

So how do I get my intuition to manifest? I give it time. I may take a walk, get a nap or a night’s sleep, or at least take a break.

On occasion, I talk with people. I’m not just looking for their guidance. I’m looking for how I personally feel as I talk about a situation. It takes time to have appropriate conversations.

Discover the Gods’ Perception of intuition.

A friend told me that he looks on intuition like his friend.

Consider this: If you give a friend guidance and they use it, you will feel good about giving more guidance.

The Gods have placed divinity in you. I suggest that your intuition is part of the divinity They placed in you. That divinity is related to your creativity. That creativity and divinity are where the God and Goddess communicate with you.

This is where your intuition is a bridge to the Gods. The Gods talk to you through your intuition.

The important thing is to remove the distractions so that you can pay attention to intuitive impressions the Gods give you. You can do this with a daily 5-minute meditation session. You can do a longer session if that fits your daily routine.

Other methods include doing ritual or taking a break for deep breathing. Find your own way to get yourself into a relaxed state. Or at least find a way to quiet down your experience of the moment. For example, I have a friend who assembles jigsaw puzzles.

Your intuition can be a wonderful guide in this chaotic world.

May these insights support your life path.

Blessed Be,

How Wiccans “Fine-Tune” Their Intuition

July 6, 2018 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

“How can I practice tuning my intuition?” one of my readers asked. “Are there any spells that can help me become a little more ‘fine-tuned’ to other people’s intent, lies, etc.?”

So much is going on in this question.

First, what is intuition, really? Some definitions of intuition emphasize: “the ability when … one knows or considers [true] from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning.”

Researcher Gerd Gigerenzer suggests that intuition is “data that has not risen to the conscious level.”

When I talk with fellow Wiccans, I have mentioned, “There is a difference between intuition and knowing.” The way I define knowing is: Certainty that arises from hearing the ‘voice’ of the God and Goddess. I’ve been grateful to hear the voice of the Goddess—on a number of occasions. For example, one time, I had a knowing to hold back and avoid entering a traffic intersection. That knowing saved my life because another car careened through the intersection at great speed. It surely would have smashed my car on the driver’s side, killing me.

Next, we look at “fine-tuning intuition.” I suggest that this is about getting distractions out of the way so we can clearly connect with intuition.

Author Gavin de Becker (The Gift of Fear) points out that we naturally can use our gut instincts to protect ourselves. The problem arises when we let other voices (like when someone doesn’t want to be embarrassed) to block out the voice of intuition (or gut instincts).

So, here is a Spell for Getting Distractions Out of the Way of Your Intuition.

Intuition Spell

What you will need:

1 blue candle
Ritual tools
Dragon’s blood incense
Cakes and wine
Offering dishes
Dragon’s blood oil

Cast Circle in the usual manner.

Time to dress your candle: This means that you take the oil and rub it onto the candle from wick to the base of the candle.

Place the candle in holder.

As you light the candle say:

Blue candle of mine,
It is now your time.
My intuition grows as you melt away,
My intuition is here,
My intuition is clear, and now will stay.
Whispers I hear,
Intuition is near.
Guide me true.
Without distraction,
I know you.
