Beware of Your Addictions (A Witch’s Perspective)

“Purple!” I squeeled with delight.

“What do you see?” my husband kindly replied.

“It’s a purple dustpan. Oh, a Q-tip container thingy!”

Yeah. I have a purple addiction.

You’d note that with the purple hair on my head.

What’s your addiction?

I once heard the author Tom Marcoux say, “Social media is a Rage-maker, Patience-taker, and Time-waster. … okay, not aways…”

Something for everybody.

So, the question is … how do you quiet down your addiction?

Here’s a prayer you can use.

Lord and Lady,
Help me see my addictions.
Strengthen me so I continue on my  healthy path
Keep me safe,
Keep me strong,
So I carry on.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Spellwork – The Hidden Requirements

When I did my first spells, I was afraid of making a mistake.
This fear kept me from doing magick because I was afraid of doing something wrong.

Over the years, I have learned certain things, including what I call the “hidden requirements of spellwork.”

1. Start small.

    The simplest spell you can do is “thank you.” You can light a candle and some incense to say thank you to the God and Goddess for the blessings you currently experience.

    2. Hold to humility.

    I started as a solitary witch. I did not do more involved spells until I was in a coven with spiritual elders.

    I find that holding to humility is helpful. Why? You make space to learn more.

    3. Make space for a time duration.

    Have you noticed that many worthwhile things in life take time? It takes time to practice. You may make a mistake, and that’s a time when your awareness is expanded.

    Here’s a prayer you can use:

    Lord and Lady,
    Help my studies grow.
    Let me learn and know.
    Help my knowledge fall in line.
    Give me hope at this time.
    So Mote It Be

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,

    When Friends Leave and the Gods Open a Door

    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

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

    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,

    Don’t Let Them Make You React (A Witch’s Perspective)

    Do you know what sells more than sex? Rage. The algorithms in social media are, reportedly, geared to make people react in anger or rage.

    Anger in times of chaos is understandable.
    In fact, my new book, World On Fire: How Witches and Wiccans Transcend the Chaos and Find Their Peace, has three sections on anger. Also, not-a-fun fact, the word “anger” shows up 45 times in this book.
    Good news: There is a section about how to shift so you can get sleep even if you start angry.

    Here, let’s talk about shifting away from falling into a reaction. When you pause and take a breath, you can make a transition to a healthy response. Not a reaction.

    Breath of the Loving Goddess

    Breath supports and heals you.

    So, take a deep breath in, and breathe in the love of the Goddess.

    Hold…

    In your mind, say, “I breathe in peace. Goddess, thank you.”

    Then exhale.

    In your mind, picture tension, stress, and pain exiting your body as if you are exhaling black smoke out of your mouth.

    In your mind, say, “I breathe out all stress, pain, and tension.”

    Repeat this process 9 times.

    A warning: As with any form of exercise or exertion, consult with your doctor. Some people may need to be careful about getting lightheaded or hyperventilating.

    May these insights support your journey.

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater

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

    “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,
    Moonwater
