What Is the Truth about Spellwork and Attracting New, Positive Friends? (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“Look at this. Your second most popular blog post is ‘A Spell to Attract New and Positive Friends,’” my blog team member said. (You can click HERE for that post.)

I thought about this.

1. Beware that fatigue prevents your next leap forward.

One of my friends asked, “When was the last time you did a spell?”
I replied, “It’s been too long.”

“Why?” she asked.

“I’m tired.”

This had me realize that I needed to do something to raise my energy.

2. Be decisive to raise your personal energy.

I’ve thought about my own energy. It can be hard because I am impacted by depression symptoms. My first focus point is getting enough sleep and good nutrition. This helps.

Think of three people you know. Which one of them raises your energy? When was the last time you had fun with them?

What can you do to raise your own energy?

3. Pray to the Goddess

Here’s a prayer you can use:

Lovely Lady of the Moon.
Get me some new friends real soon.
Help me build my own energy.
So, they experience me as trustworthy.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Give Yourself the Tarot Advantage Before You Make a Decision (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments

“I realized that every decision is like making a bet,” Nancy, a person in my circle, said.

“How so?” I asked.

“You don’t have all the information. Even if you make a rational decision, there’s an element of luck involved,” she said.

I reflected on this.

We, witches, can have an advantage.

You could decide to include Tarot Cards in your practice of the Craft.

Here are helpful insights.

1. Prepare your energy before you do a spread of Tarot Cards.

    “The magic begins in you. Feel your own energy, and realize similar energy exists within the Earth, stones, plants, water, wind, fire, colours, and animals.” – Scott Cunningham

    Pay attention to your current state of energy. Are you okay? Are you exhausted?

    Here’s the important point: If you are upset, you could read a Tarot Spread incorrectly. This incorrect reading could further fuel your problems.

    Instead, make sure to first ground and center your energy.

    2. Use a dedicated Tarot cloth for your spread of Tarot Cards.

    The purpose here is to keep the energy of your spread of cards separate from other energies. This is also important if you travel and do a spread in different places.

    Other benefits include:

    1. Keep your cards clean.
    2. This also provides part of a good ritual.

    3. Make sure your question is precise.

    A vague question can lead to a muddy answer.

    Here are examples of better questions:

    1. What step do I need to take to increase my financial abundance?
    2. Will I meet a good business contact at the Networking Event on Elm Street today?

    Let’s Pull This All Together

    Making better decisions can include a careful and well-thought-out approach to using Tarot Cards.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Support So You Rise in Your Practice (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / Leave a comment

    When I started in the Craft, I was a teenager.

    I felt ugly, fat, and alone. I couldn’t even imagine wielding any power.
    My brother continued to call me ugly and fat to my face and his friends.
    I wished my parents would corral their precious firstborn.
    My mother, in her anger and prejudice, ignored my pain.

    Years later, I would suspect my mother had undiagnosed depression. She still won’t see a mental health professional.

    Recently, a new thought came to me.

    As teenager and a new witch, I was miserable.
    What?! Someday, I could effectively move natural energy?

    Now, years later, an image arose in my mind.

    Think of natural energy as droplets of water.
    A witch new to wielding magick may move these droplets of water one at a time.
    Through diligent practice of witchcraft, these droplets may unite into a crashing wave.

    Then, I thought…

    Where would I like the united droplets to flow in my life?
    Perhaps they could be a soothing, peaceful lake in my life.

    How about you? Where would you like energy to flow in your life?

    Here is a prayer you can use:

    Lord and Lady,
    Water me gently.
    My power gathers.
    Soak me thoroughly,
    And my power grows.
    I wield my power in waves,
    To capsize sorrow’s boat, so I heal.
    So Mote It Be.

    Remember: The God and Goddess have placed divinity within you.
    It is natural for a witch to move energy.

    May these insights support your path.

    Honor Your Rhythms (A Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / Leave a comment

    Today, I woke up after sleeping for over 10 hours. That is so unusual for me.
    No. I’m not suggesting that we work ourselves to exhaustion.

    But this holiday season has seen me go, go, go.
    My get up and go, got up and went!
    I needed to replenish.

    How about you?
    Do you work yourself into the ground?
    Do you just barrel on through?
    Force yourself?
    Get pissed off at people next to you?

    Someone in my circle works with customers.
    He says, “People who come in here are either sick or late or BOTH.”

    What happens?
    A number of the individuals are rude. Okay. Downright mean.

    Wiccans know about the Three-Times Law.
    What you put out there returns to you threefold.

    Impatient?
    Impatience slams you from other people.

    Another way exists.

    Take care of yourself. Honor your rhythms.
    I just saw a comedic film.
    I’m renewed.

    And, here we have this blog post.

    Here’s a prayer you can use.

    May I honor my rhythms,
    May I honor my inner Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.
    May each flow from one to another smoothly,
    As I so will,
    So Mote It Be

    P.S. Here is one more idea.
    In our life, one day can include all four seasons. You may wake up in Winter.
    Cold, stormy, and unpleasant. You might call a friend and then have moments of Spring.
    Honor your rhythms.
    May these insights support your path.  

    Blessed Be,

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

    / 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.

    Just in time, my new book, World On Fire: How Witches and Wiccans Transcend the Chaos and Find Their Peace, is available as a paperback book, eBook and an audiobook to provide you with comfort.

    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,

    How to Communicate Something Tough and Avoid Somebody Shutting Down (a Witch’s Perspective)

    / Moonwater / 2 Comments

    “My husband just shuts down,” my friend, Lisa, said. “I can’t get him to correct what he’s doing.”

    Later, I had a thought based on some Wiccan and magick ideas.

    Here are three insights.

    1. Carefully choose words, and you wield energy.

    “Magic isn’t the empty parroting of words and actions; it is an involved, emotionally charged experience in which the words and actions are used as focal points or keys to unlock the power that we all possess.” –  Scott Cunningham

    You have the power to encourage or shut down a person.

    Notice this difference:

    • Option One: “When are you going to listen to me? You just don’t care.”
    • Option Two: “Hey, thanks for clearing the filter for the sink.” (The other person smiles. Then you add something like…) Oh, I had another idea. Is this an okay time to talk “logistics”?

    As Scott wrote: “words and actions are used as focal points or keys to unlock the power that we all possess.”

    2. You influence certain people in ways more than you know.

    If someone cares about you, they’d like to succeed in doing something good for you.

    I remember inadvertently overhearing two spouses, “Sam and Janet.”
    Sam looked back at Janet to see if Sam’s washing her car had made Janet happier.
    No. She just made another request.

    Sam did NOT get a moment of success at trying to please her.

    It’s about giving your loved one some space to feel good.

    In my own life, I need to take care of myself. And that’s tough when I’ve lost sleep. So sometimes, I schedule a nap.

    I come back with renewed energy.

    My husband and I enjoy a better interaction after that.

    “On waking in the morning, try to make your first words pleasant, for this brings good fortune for the entire day.” – Scott Cunningham

    3. Ask, in prayer, that the Goddess guide your words

    Here is a prayer you can use.

    Goddess,
    Guide my words that they may comfort others,
    Help me hold my tongue when the words are sharp.
    Support me to take care of myself, mind and body.
    May I be grateful for every blessing.
    So Mote It Be

    As witches, we notice the value of being flexible like the willow tree. May we meditate, conduct ritual, and pray to maintain our flexibility.

    And remember this: 

    “That perhaps is at the core of Wicca–it is a joyous union with nature. The earth is a manifestation of divine energy. Wicca’s temples are flower-splashed meadows, forests, beaches, and deserts.” – Scott Cunningham

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,
