Goddess Has Something to Say about Loneliness

“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)

“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

To the Gods’ Will (A Witch’s Perspective)

“What about receiving intuitive thoughts from the Gods?” Jim, someone in my circle, asked.

Later, I reflected on this.

What would be an indication that the thought originated with the Gods?

One of my spiritual elders suggested, “It would not be ego-focused. And, it would not harm you.”

Look at what the Goddess said:

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

So, if a thought is negative and makes your life worse, it is NOT from the Gods.

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.” – Kahlil Gibran

“Maybe some of our painful experiences are necessary to open our understanding,” one of my spiritual elders said.

I thought about this. Perhaps, breaking old habits that are bad for you … may bring pain.

So, pain may be unwanted. But we can have a different thought. How about… “What can I learn from this?”

Or “How can I have empathy, now that I have experienced this tough situation?”

The Goddess stands with you.
What is Her will? That you show kindness to yourself, humans, and other beings.
Nature is our home.

Now, how will you honor the Goddess, your true self, and your home?

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Falling Out of “Resonating” with Another Person – a Goddess Perspective

“We don’t call each other anymore,” Alicia, someone in my circle, said. She was talking about her estrangement from her former best friend, Cynthia.

“Are you okay with that?” I asked.

“No,” Alicia began. “But it’s like we don’t get each other anymore.” She frowned. “But I still miss her. At least, I miss what we had … who we were … some time ago.”

Recently, I realized I no longer think about my first husband. We met when I was 17 years old. We got married at 18. And, we were divorced in my early 20s.

I’m not the person I was when I was next to him. Thank Goddess!

I recall this quote, which shows the Goddess’s perspective.

“Ye who are feign to learn all sorcery, who have not yet won its deepest secrets, to these will I teach that which is yet unknown. And ye shall be free from slavery…” The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente.

To stay with the person who is anti-how you are resonating now … is a form of slavery.

Goddess supports you to grow into the highest expression of your essence.

Are you now resonating on a higher vibration?
Is it time to let someone go or to reduce your exposure to them?

Remember, the Goddess is as close as your next prayer.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

What I Learned During My Hospital Stay Plus a Surprising Insight from the Goddess

“Isn’t it about the medical team gathering to help you?” my friend, Alicia, asked.

“It is … and it’s not enough,” I said.

I’m deeply thankful to the nurses and the doctors … and I do not have a definitive diagnosis at this time.

“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

What did I learn in the nights in the hospital – that included screams coming down the hall?

As I talked with the Goddess, I felt an internal shift that quieted my worries.

Also, I realized that it’s necessary to stay strong in these areas:

(I’ll use the Elements as a framework.)

  1. Air … keep your thoughts as clear as possible
  2. Water … gather support, express your emotions in healthy ways
  3. Fire … eat, and take in nutrition. You need energy (fire) to make good decisions
  4. Earth … stay grounded (sitting in the hospital bed, I prayed and talked with the God and the Goddess.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
