When Friends Leave and the Gods Open a Door

December 2, 2025 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

Have you seen friends abandon you because of your Wiccan faith?

Three former friends come to mind.
They’re gone.
I miss them.

But then I realize this question: “What will I dwell upon?”

Imagine the Goddess was here to coach me.
She might say, “Moonwater, let this go. It’s all right.”

Or…

The God might coach me with this comment: “Who cares? Let them go.”

Well, let’s look at that “Who cares?” part.

It reminds me: “Does caring about the people who chose to leave my life help me at all?”

We’re talking about how we experience our daily life.

If I think about the former friends whose prejudices led them to leave … it won’t change anything. Except it drains my energy. Thinking about them makes me feel bad.

But I could dwell upon a completely different idea.

When a friend chose to reject me due to Wicca, they closed a chapter of my life. A chapter that had them in it.

One thing is: A “fair weather friend” leaves … and my schedule opens for other people to come in.

Okay.

Here’s a prayer you can use:

Lord and Lady,
Help me not dwell on the doors that shut in my life
And help me heal from the loss of the friends who leave.
May I dwell in your Divine Shining Light.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

The Real Way to Deal with “Accumulating Mental Garbage” (A Witch’s Perspective)

November 25, 2025November 25, 2025 / Moonwater / 2 Comments

I’m frustrated. See if you can relate.

It took weeks to get a medical appointment for an MRI scan. Then today, medical team members of another department taped a heart-monitoring device on me.

Poof! That threw away my MRI scan appointment.

Grrrrrrr.

It feels like a bunch of time wasted.
New frustration.
What can I do with this?

“Uh, hello, Goddess, what can I learn from this?” – it’s a thought I had.

[[Go with the flow. Surrender. Be grateful for what you have.]] – an intuitive thought that arose.

Grateful for what?

That my body works.
That I’m still here with my husband, with my parents, and with my glorious cat, Magick.

Earlier today, a car racing on the other side of the highway raced toward me. With its turn signal on.

Well, the genius driving the car merged over, demonstrating that he would be making a turn. But he apparently did not know the turn signal was on.

**An accident almost happened.**

I AM grateful that no accident occurred.

So I say,

“Okay. Goddess, I AM grateful for every blessing.
Help me empty the “can” of mental garbage.”

Here’s a prayer you can use.

Goddess,
Help me empty the can of mental garbage I have collected.
Open my eyes to all the blessings You give me.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Like the Goddess, Rise Above (A Witch’s Perspective) – Ep. 367

Moonwater reveals that you have a hidden choice. You can connect with your divinity placed by the Goddess and God within you. You can untangle yourself from being smothered by problems. You can embrace gratitude, so you shift to the level of the Goddess. Learn a powerful prayer.

“Live Into” Rather Than “Live Up To” (A Witch’s Perspective)

November 18, 2025 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

Yeah, I flunked kindergarten. This made me into “compliant girl.” I had to live up to my parents’ standards about my grades and more. By the way, eventually, I was diagnosed as a person who has dyslexia.

So, there’s that phrase “live up to.”

As a girl, if I said anything original and an expression of my true self, I was chastised.

Yes, these were the parents who dragged me to THEIR church.

Recently, I had a conversation with a spiritual elder. The topic of “live into” versus “live up to” arose.

We, Witches, are called to LIVE INTO the divinity the Goddess and God placed within us.

We do not need to gain someone’s approval.

Each one of us is a unique expression of that divinity.

I remember one of my early boyfriends. I did not feel comfortable expressing my Wiccan spiritual path. So, I said nothing.

Are you finding that you tend to “live up” to someone else’s expectations?

What if you were free to “live into” your true spiritual path and destiny?

Here is a prayer you can use.

My Gracious Lady,
Help me let go of others’ limiting expectations,
Lord of the Greenwood,
Help me live into my true destiny!
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

A Secret about Happiness—Or a Miserable Life (a Witch’s Perspective)

June 24, 2025 / Moonwater / 2 Comments

“I don’t have any success,” my friend, Samantha, said flatly.

“What about how you’re taking good care of your ailing parents? That’s work,” I said.

“That’s not work. Work is only when you get paid,” Samantha said.

“You know, there are people who get paid as assistants to old people,” I said.

Samantha just frowned.

I reflected on this.

Samantha is often miserable.

Why? One reason may be about her definitions, which are like knives that she uses to cut herself.

What about your definitions?

How do you define success? Or even happiness.

So many of us live in the space of “only when I can…”

How does this sound?

“I’ll be happy only when I can have no worries about the future.”

Good luck with that.

Researchers note that approximately 85% of what people say they worry about does NOT happen.

But what does occur? A bunch of people being miserable moment-to-moment … How? They’re living in their worries.

And their definitions are, by default, set up so they can never win.

What are examples of a self-defeating definition?

“Success is only making a lot of money.”
“Work is only if you are paid.” (That means getting groceries for your family means nothing?!!)

We, witches, look to nature for guidance. We know that we live through seasons. Spring follows Winter. The forest burned by fire can have new growth.

What is another definition of success? “I choose what is meaningful to me. I take action, and something valuable gets done.”

A happy life appreciates seasons, and we go through chapters of our lives. Some chapters are tough. And then, like the seasons, we can experience renewal.

What definition would help you on your path?

Blessed Be.

How Witches Experience the Privileges of Being Wiccan

November 12, 2024 / Moonwater / Leave a comment

When I found Wicca, it was like coming home. A whole new world opened to me. And of course, I discovered the God and the Goddess. Here is something amazing. You have privileges as a witch.

I have four insights for you.

1. You can be close to the God and Goddess

You can communicate and be close to the Gods.

Do you pray? Or do you meditate? Using these tools as a witch we can communicate with the God and Goddess. They are only your next breath away. You can say a prayer now. Something like:

“Goddess, thank You for the comfort you give me now. So Mote It Be.”

What would you like to pray about?

2. You can wield magick for your benefit and all involved.

Ever daydream about a dream job? Want to get a raise or make more money with your own business? In these situations, and more, witches can use magick for their benefit.

I have learned that a combination of magick and taking practical actions in the mundane world makes abundance happen.

What would you like to manifest? What form of spell would you like to do?

3. You can experience community.

You can have a family-by-choice. It is true we can’t choose our family by blood. But we can have a chosen family by making good decisions.

I have learned that aligning with your spiritual family and certain friends can make for strong bonds. Bonds that are more nurturing than many bonds with family by blood.

Who in your life encourages you? Do you want to devote more time to the encouragers in your life?

4. You can avoid being tossed about seeking your personal worth from the human-mundane world.

If you must seek your personal worth from any human, you’re in trouble. Why?

Because human beings have flaws. Many are so self-focused that they have no room for you. Have you ever gone to a parent or sibling for comfort and they just ignored you?

Realize that your true worth is the divinity that the God and Goddess placed within you.

Sure, you can work to accomplish something in the mundane world. But you do not have to earn your worth. You already have a divine nature. It’s something to celebrate!

When we incarnate, it’s like we put on blinders.

When you pray and meditate, you take off the blinders, even for a few moments. You connect with your real worth—your divine worth.

Do you want to add or grow your rituals of prayer or meditation?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
