What if you need to shift to calm in a stressful situation? (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments

“When are you calm during the day?” a friend, Alicia, asked me.

“Usually when I first wake up in the morning. Before the weight of the day crashes down on my shoulders,” I replied.

Alicia wasn’t expecting that answer.

Meanwhile…

Lidia, someone I know, works in retail. She’s noticing that more and more customers in recent weeks have been saying rude, impatient things. Downright mean insults.

Lidia needs to stay calm – or lose her job.

I asked her, “Do you have some way to hold your calm?”

Lidia said, “Every day, I have a 3-minute ritual in which I purposely shift to calm.”

“Each of us must find our ideal way to attune with deity.” – Scott Cunningham

Here is a ritual you can use.

Own Your Calm Ritual – Invite Goddess

Light a white candle and say these words:

Goddess,
As pure as light, may Your calm wash over me.
May I bathe in this candle’s blessed light.
Thank You for peace, calm, and strength.
So Mote It Be!

May these insights support you.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Goddess Has Something to Say about Loneliness

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“I want to talk about loneliness,” I said to one of my editors.
“That’s a big topic. It has so many elements to it,” my editor replied.

Later, I wondered, “What has the Goddess said that applies to loneliness?”

The first phrase that leapt into my thoughts was:

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

Let’s look at “highest ideal.”

  1. What is your highest ideal?

Have you heard about people who met their lifemate or new friends while they pursued their own hobbies or interests?Perhaps, you’ve stopped making space for hobbies or interests.
Are you called to do something different now?

  1. How can you connect with your highest ideal—where people are?

“The Goddess’s law is love unto all beings.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente

Where can you do good? How can you bring some form of kindness to some people?
Reiza, someone I know, has a mission when she goes to work at a grocery store. She is kind to people. And several of the customers respond with smiles and kindness toward her.
She has found a few new friends.

  1. How can you hold space so you are okay with people’s differences?

I began as a Solitary Wiccan. I empathize that it can be lonely in certain areas of this world, where we cannot share our Wiccan faith.

I noticed something unusual.
A friend, Mason, has a friendship with someone who is on the opposite end of politics. These friends talk about everything—health, hopes, dreams … and they simply do NOT talk about politics.

They end phone calls with “Love ya, Brother.”
On many things, they share common ground.
Their phone calls alleviate some loneliness.

Would you find it possible to share part of your journey with someone?

  1. Pray to the Goddes

I realize that loneliness is a complex situation for many of us.
Many times, I understand that I need to turn to the Goddess for support, as I walk the path that can be tough.

Here is a prayer you can use.

Goddess,
Support me in times I feel lonely.
Show me how to expand my social circle.
Bring good people into my life.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Your Essence vs. Ego – The Goddess Knows (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments

“I don’t want to miss an opportunity. But … but I’m shaking,” a friend, Henry, said.
Henry is artistic, and he was facing a whole new venue for his art. A big opportunity.
“And a big risk,” Henry said.

In talking with spiritual elders … the conversation often turns to the idea of “your essence versus your ego.”

Henry’s essence is “artist.” His ego is “scared guy worried about making a mistake.”

The idea is that one’s ego is made of fear. The ego tries to protect you. But the problem is that it is influenced by genetics. The people who passed on their genes were those who ran away from tigers and lions.

The ones who said, “Here, Kitty, Kitty” … got eaten.

Fear, for many of us, is a first reaction.

The ego tries to protect us. And the ego keeps us small.

On the other hand, the Goddess wants us to experience Our Essence. The God and Goddess placed divinity in you. That’s your essence.

What is your essence about? Growing and giving.

  1. Make space to shift.

Some artistic people I know keep pen and paper (how old-fashioned) next to their bed. They write down ideas as they wake up in the morning. At times, they capture some divine inspiration.

Many of us meditate with a journal nearby to record the inspiration we receive.

  1. Drop seeking willpower in favor of making it a routine.

Several people I know say they have trouble with making meditation a daily ritual.

However, making a routine—or tying meditation to a routine you have—can support your spiritual life.
Allison, someone I know, does a brief breathing meditation in her bathroom immediately after brushing and flossing her teeth.

That’s a routine connected to a routine.

  1. Pray to the Goddess.

Here is a prayer you can use.

My Lord and Lady, who granted me my essence,
Help me separate my essence from my ego.
For my ego is not my true self.
Support me as I walk my true path.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
