How Witches Prevent Fear and Self-Doubt from Strangling Their Spells

My first spells did not go well. What was the problem? Actually, two things. Fear and self-doubt.

I have three insights for you.

1. Fear keeps you on the mountain. Fear empowers you to prepare.

Imagine that you’re going to climb a mountain. What supplies would you bring? Rope, carabiners, and a climbing harness.

The same is true for your magickal practice. You bring supplies. You cast a protective circle around your workspace. Make sure to have all your items before starting. Then, you won’t have to break the Circle once it is cast.

Have a script and things like a fire extinguisher handy in case things don’t go as planned. (I am not kidding.) Be sure that you properly dismiss the elements at the end of your spell.

Your script should also have protection clauses including:

  • An it harm none.
  • For the good of all involved.
  • For this or better.

Being concerned about mistakes invites you to prepare well. That is a good use of fear.

2. Shift from having self-doubt and imagining the worst to a positive intention.

Before you even write your spells, it is good to shift from imagining the worst. You need to keep a positive intention. If you don’t, your spell will likely do a belly flop on you.

It puts doubt into the equation. Instead, keep a positive frame of mind. This helps keep your spells, rituals, and rites on track to good outcomes.

3. Ask the Gods to guide you to the best outcomes.

Here is a prayer you can express to set the appropriate energy.

Mighty Gods,
Keep my intentions positive and good.
Defend me from self-doubt,
So I have a positive turnabout.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Avoid the Hidden Costs of Their Spells

“What a garbage heap!” my friend Jose’s mother said.

I thought, “That must be hard to take. Imagine living with that. Day after day.”

Then, I realized that his mother had to live with her own daily upset. Nothing was good enough for her. I could only guess that Jose’s grandmother had terrorized his mother, too.

For us, witches, there is an extra cost to having a habit of being angry and of disaproving of so much in life. What is this cost? Our energy is tainted, and our spells are derailed.

I have three insights for you.

1. Keep pure your personal energy.

If you’re constantly annoyed and angry, what does that do to your personal energy? If your personal energy is tainted by annoying parts of your life, imagine what that does to your spells.

We use all the energy around us when we do our spells. But because we focus that energy through our bodies, like a lens, we can warp that pure energy into bad energy.

So how can you keep pure your personal energy?
It’s a process of renewal. Meditation. Walking in nature. Quiet time. Renewing time with friends. Whatever works for you.

You need good energy so you can make a shift out of being irritated.

2. Avoid living in constant disapproval and upheaval.

You probably know someone angry about just about everything. The city government is slow to fill the potholes in the streets. Family members don’t clean up after themselves fast enough. You name it. The person’s face is in a continual frown—as if everything is a personal insult.

Let’s notice that we can taint our spell with negative emotions.

Our own habits of thinking can be a source of upheaval or peace.

Compassion can help. “Oh, my family member was so tired after returning from work,” the person with compassion thinks.

Here’s an added problem of living in constant disapproval…your spells are tainted so they do not turn out the way you want.

3. Ask the Gods to help you accept The Beauty of Enough.”

Many times, I think to myself the ritual went great except for that one detail. Not good enough.

Or I think, “No! I forgot to add _____. The spell could have been more powerful. Stupid.”

I have learned that I must let go of such hyper-critical patterns.

We need to let go of an obsession with “It’s not perfect yet!”

Recently, I have been thinking of “The Beauty of Enough.”

Here is a prayer.

A Prayer

Honorable Lord and Gracious Lady,
Grant me the wisdom of knowing Enough.
Take away the fog of “it’s not perfect”…
Help me daily to experience “The Beauty of Enough.”
And instill Your Passion of Gratitude within my heart.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Beware of Sabotaging New Year’s Resolutions

“I hate New Year’s Resolutions,” my friend, Martha, said. “They don’t work.”

This started an extended conversation.

I have three insights for you.

1. You cannot win with “a negative.”

A New Year’s Resolution of “I’m not going to smoke” can backfire. How? You take a bad habit out and you leave a hole. Instead, you can say, “I take walking breaks.” (That replaces smoking breaks.)

Here’s another problem. One person said, “This year is about ‘no self-sabotaging.’”

Then her mentor said, “Exchange that for the positive: Self-Respect, Self-Worth, Self-Effectiveness.”

2. Goddess says, “My Law is Love”—not “My Law is Shame.”

“I define shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging—something we’ve experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection.” – Dr. Brene Brown

Goddess made you worthy. She does not try to manipulate you (like humans do) by making you feel bad.

“For My Law is Love unto all beings,” The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess as written by Doreen Valiente

When you find yourself repeating some mean and cutting words (you heard from parents, guardians, employers, or others), pause. Stop right there. Imagine turning around the thought.

Here’s an example: “Stupid. I always say the wrong thing.”

Turn It Around: “I made a mistake. I can get coaching and learn something better to say in a stressful moment like that.”

3. Invite the Goddess to Support Your New Year’s “Direction.”

Instead of New Year’s Resolutions, you can pick a direction.

It sounds like:

  • I’m learning about starting my own business.
  • I’m now being kind to myself.

What direction would help you?

Here’s a prayer:

Goddess, support me in my New Year’s Direction.
Give me insights to make course corrections in my journey.
Lead me, guide me.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Handle When “Nothing is Comfortable – Nothing is Safe”

“Are you okay?” I asked Martha, my longtime friend.
“No.”
I waited and listened.
“Since my parents have both gone to the hospital—two different hospitals. I’m walking around. It all looks different. Like nothing is safe.”
This began an extended conversation.

I have three insights for you.

1. If you don’t feel safe, you’re not broken.
God and Goddess made you to feel it all. The highs and lows. Moments feeling confident. Times of being torn by anxiety.
Often, it is natural to feel these waves of emotion.
If you have access to your High Priest/Priestess, they may be a good source for support.

** Special Note: If you have persistent thoughts of anxiety, worry or depression, consult mental health and physical health professionals. I have mental health professionals supporting me. I take appropriate medication, too.

Remember to reach out to God and Goddess for support, too.

2. Not feeling safe may signal a time of transition and growth.
When transitions happen, feelings of confusion can arise.
Are you not feeling safe?

Yes—we are creatures of habit. We like to know what to expect.

But life keeps hitting us with new and unexpected events.
You have a friend that you feel will be with you to the end. But suddenly, they ghost you.
People get sideswiped by a divorce.
Aging parents change and become demanding. Many become downright bitter.

“The future is always all around us, waiting, in moments of transitions, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.
                                  – J. Michael Strazynski

It’s natural to try to duck pain. But life keeps pulling things away. We experience so much loss.
When things change, many emotions rise including fear.

What can we do? Ritual and meditation. Create moments of peace during your day. Be kind to yourself. Seek soothing music. Do what works for you. And, remember the God and Goddess.

3. Ask Goddess for comfort.
Some things are so big and heavy that we must call on the Goddess.
She stands ready to support us. Do not hesitate. She says, “My law is love” (from The Charge of the Goddess—written by Doreen Valiente in the voice of the Goddess).
Goddess loves you. She wants to help you.

Here is a prayer you can use.

Goddess, help me feel safe in Your arms.
Comfort me, calm me,
Help me in my time of need.
Show me the way to growth and happiness.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Protect Themselves During the Dark Times

The cars collided. The airbag punched me in the face. My dinner almost leapt from my mouth.

Days later, I realized. I did not have a protection sigil in the car!

I have three insights for you.

1. Protection in terms of boundaries, the Cosmic Egg of Protection and a Protection Sigil serve different purposes.

Do you have a friend or family member who pushes you too much? You may need to have a boundary with this person. You can say, “I need to sleep. I don’t take calls after 9 pm.”

A boundary is permeable. You probably would let your spouse call you whenever needed.

Here is a protection meditation called The Cosmic Egg which is like a wall. You are protected from dark energies. Here is the link to my post about that.

As I mentioned, I failed to have a Protection Sigil in my car. Here’s a Link to my post about creating a sigil.

Creating sigils is easy to do.

2. Protection is natural and necessary.

It is true that some people and things cause harm. An old quote says, “You can’t give what you don’t have.” If you do not protect yourself and your energy, you’ll have no energy left. Want to be kind to a friend? – you’ll need energy. Want to complete your college degree? – you’ll need energy.

You can use the following InstaCircle process for protection…

3. Ask the Goddess for protection.

Goddess loves us. She is there for us. Call on Her for protection. Anytime your intuition warns you that you are going into a dangerous situation, call on the Goddess.

You can quickly cast the InstaCircle.

Here is the InstaCircle process with the movements:

Using your power hand (your dominant hand), trace the Circle three times.

I cast my Circle thrice,
round, round and round.

Point your index finger up to the heavens and then pull energy down to the ground.

Let no bane get in,
From heavens to ground.

The InstaCircle can support you by shielding you from negative energies.


Now here is an additional prayer:

Gods hold me secure,
In Your mighty hands
So gentle and true.
Shield me from negative energies
So that I may thrive in Your light.
So mote it be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Find an Answer Beyond the Human Brain

“I am sick of this self-sabotage crap!” my friend, Lisa, said.

I nodded.

Dealing with my depression symptoms, it often feels like my brain acts like an enemy to my peace and calm.

I have three insights for you.

1, The witch has weekly experiences on a level above the brain.

The brain is of the mundane world. When we do a rite or a spell, the energy goes up to the realm of the Gods.

When was the most recent experience of ritual or meditation that you have had? Did you connect with the Gods? If so, your spirit rose above your brain. On the level of the Gods, true happiness and peace is our experience.

2, The witch notices how the brain causes unhappiness.

Dr. Laurie Santos points out that the brain has certain patterns that cause unhappiness. One is “reference points.” All the time we’re measuring our experience, possessions, attractiveness—all of it—to other people. That naturally brings us down. How can we measure up to people who are manufactured?—Photoshopped. They selectively report on their perfect marriages, kids, houses, cars, glamorous jobs, and more.

Dr. Laurie also points to “hedonic adaptation”—this means that anything fun just loses its shine. We get used to it.

We are drawn to the novelty of a situation or thing. Is it shiny and new?

You may have noticed that some “fair weather” people started as “new witches.” To be a witch requires us to be strong and steadfast. We need to have a form of discipline to do rituals and meditation on a weekly basis.

3. With your relationship with the Gods, there is no mundane comparison.

“Let my worship be within the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess (as written by Doreen Valiente)

Where does that worship happen? Really, it happens on a level above the mundane world. Sure, we do a ritual or meditation—it starts in the mundane world. But during the process, our spirit rises.

We are in the “in-between” when we do ritual. When we meditate, we go to the astral plane.

These experiences are above the brain.

“Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess (as written by Doreen Valiente)

The Gods give us all this and more.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Release Themselves from a Happiness Trap

“No, you don’t understand. I’ll be happy when the book comes out,” my friend, Aurora, said with resolve in her voice.

“Okay,” I replied.

I had seen it before. Aurora said, “I’ll be happy when I graduate. … I’ll be happy when I have this boyfriend … I’ll be happy when I break up with this boyfriend.”

It seemed like Aurora was always looking to the future.

I have three insights for you.

  1. Now is the important thing.

I find the Happiness Trap is the pattern of saying, “I’ll be happy when…”

Now is the time we do our living. The vague “when” is just some point in the future. And, there is no guarantee that we’ll feel good when some specific event happens.

A friend of mine knows an author who gained a $100,000 advance for writing a book. Sounds good. But when the book was done, the author was feeling something else—because this person was going through recovery from surgery due to cancer.

We don’t know how we’ll feel in the future.

And – we do our living in the present moment.

  • Happiness is a Choice

Choosing to be happy may seem strange and counter intuitive. But you can do it.

How? Focus on your blessings.

You can say “I am blessed to have______.”

How does that feel?

Like many people, I have tough situations I endure in life.

However, when I say to myself, “I am blessed to have this place to live in,” I switch my focus.

I can choose to focus on my blessings.

What about you? What are your blessings?

  • Ask the God and Goddess to release you from the Happiness Trap.

Here’s a prayer you can use.

Lord and Lady,
Help me shift from “I’ll be happy when—”
I know it’s a trap.
Let me see my blessings.
Nothing can hold me back.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Avoid Getting Goddess Smacked!

Alisha made so many rules about what other people should do that she doesn’t have any friends.
She was upset that Sarah didn’t call back.
Alisha thought that Mark was “too cheap” when he preferred to get burritos.
She thought that Marcia was arrogant, always talking about “big ideas.”

Alisha was blinded to Goddess’s Law.

“For My law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideals.”
— The Goddess speaking in
The Charge of the Goddess (as written by Doreen Valiente)

I have three insights for you.

1. Don’t blind yourself to the lesson.

    Goddess provides lessons so that you grow.

    I have noticed that Goddess keeps bringing the lesson back to you over and over. The experience gets more and more intense — until you feel Goddess-Smacked.

    The easy way to blind yourself is to hold onto old ideas. It’s being rigid. It’s not letting in new experiences and possibilities.

    Alisha’s old ideas were that everyone must conform to her way of doing things.

    On the other hand, I have a particular friend who just does not call back. So I call her when I can. We have a good time when we’re talking together.

    2. To get the lesson, listen within.

    Some lessons are about finding your own truth. If you devote too much time to worrying about others’ judgments, you can miss out on the beautiful experiences of life.

    Listen within.

    Are you being invited to let go of old rules?

    Goddess invites you to express compassion.

    Here’s a classic idea: “You can’t give what you don’t have.”

    If you have no compassion for yourself, you likely cannot show compassion to others.

    Pause.

    Be kind to yourself.

    Make space to be kind to others.

    3. Don’t resist the Goddess’s Law

    We return to Goddess’s Law:

    “For My law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideals.”
    — The Goddess speaking in
    The Charge of the Goddess (as written by Doreen Valiente)

    All beings does not just mean people. We’re talking about animals and even plants. Cutting down rainforests is a bad idea, for example.

    And what about “keep pure your highest ideals”?

    Perhaps, we can have ideals of…

    • Compassion
    • Empathy
    • Kindness
    • Trustworthiness
    • Persistence

    What ideals mean a lot to you?

    May these insights support your path.

    How Witches Discover the Vision Within

    I wrote a short novel (novella) when I was a teen. My mother deleted it from the cartridge (old technology).

    It still hurts, and it is decades later.

    I’m proud of myself. I told her twice about my writing. I had the cartridge labelled. I had stood up and said what I needed to. But she still deleted my novella.

    I had a vision to be a writer.

    It was not until later I became a blogger (GoddessHasYourBack.com) and Podcast Creator.

    Do you have a vision from long ago?

    Did someone step on it?

    I have three insights for you.

    1. You don’t discover things without saying yes.

    “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – Wayne Gretzky

    You’ll never know how powerful and wonderful you can become if you say no to the things that the Gods place in your path.

    The Gods put these opportunities in front of you for a reason. They want you to learn and grow.

    Before you say, “No. I don’t have the time for that,” pause. Listen to your heart. Perhaps, postpone the decision until you have a meditation session (even just 5 minutes) to hear the God and Goddess.

    Realize that this adventure of your life involves discovery. You can expand your horizons.

    1. If you don’t know your purpose, your purpose is to explore.

    I have heard a number of individuals say, ”I don’t know what my purpose is.”

    If that is true, your purpose then is to explore what your purpose is.

    What does that involve?

    Perhaps, you use a day planner (or app) and schedule 30 minutes a day to do Google searches and see YouTube videos. Maybe, each week, you go someplace to explore possibilities.

    Some people say, “I don’t know what ‘excites’ me.” Okay. How about looking for something that sparks your interest?

    What can you look into—that might spark your interest?

    1. Log your experiences in your Book of Shadows (B.O.S.)

    Many witches tend to only note their rituals and results in their Book of Shadows. Your B.O.S. is to support your life.

    Then, you can note your rituals, experiences, Google searches, discoveries, disappointments, and triumphs. Make space to discover your vision within.

    Consider that many people put in more effort into planning a vacation than they do in their work life.

    Why? They feel a sense of urgency. Because they think, “I only get these few days away from my job. So, I better make them count.”

    So, log your progress in your B.O.S.

    You can do things like meditating on your goals. Use your divinatory tools. You can do Tarot readings on your interests and the directions you could take.

    Your life and your vision within is more important than a simple vacation.

    You’re on a path. Log your progress in your B.O.S.

    What can you do today to support your vision within?

    May these insights support your path.

    How Witches Experience the “Joy of Missing Out”

    “I can’t keep up this pace,” my friend, Alison, said.
    Work to pay the rent, responsibilities for elderly parents, her heartfelt work, and more had her squeezed.
    Her phone kept chiming.

    She needed something else to experience in her life.

    1. Step back from the Tyranny of FOMO

    You’ve probably heard of FOMO – fear of missing out. It’s why we’re glued to our smartphones.
    A number of my friends are addicted to keeping up with the bad news.

    I call it the Tyranny of FOMO. How about we step back? Give yourself some time with your phone turned off? Many of us feel that we must be on call. How about fifteen minutes away from the noise?

    With fifteen minutes – would you soak in a ritual bath? Take a shower? Meditate. Assemble a jigsaw puzzle?

    1. Discover new space in your life.

    What if you said “no” to a party that you didn’t much care about, anyway?

    Imagine that. More time for relaxing. You could do a simple candle lighting ritual. Take your time. How about that?!

    1. Deepen Your Witchcraft Practice.

    “I don’t have enough time for studying the Craft this week,” my friend, Eric, said.

    If you didn’t watch some semi-good TV show on a streaming service, you would have some more time.

    We’re not looking for balance here. Many people believe “balance” is a myth.

    We’re just looking at making a choice that nurtures you.

    1. Be with the God and Goddess

    I have a friend who meditates 1 minute every day. Only 1 minute? As he says, “It’s better than zero.” And, he has conditioned himself to go quiet inside on command. That is useful.

    How about 1 minute for the God and Goddess?

    Do you have 3 minutes for Them? It’s really like getting the chance to be enveloped in a warm, loving blanket. Sounds worth it.

    When you make time for the God, Goddess, and you … you experience the Joy of Missing Out (of the noise of life).

    May these insights support your path.
