Nurturing a Relationship – Is It Casting a Spell? (a Witch’s Perspective)

“Three divorces?” I asked.

A friend said, “Yeah. And that’s just recently for some friends I have.”

“Three separate couples?”

He nodded.

Many of us who deeply love our life-mate want to nourish our relationship.

In a recent conversation with a spiritual elder, I thought about how the elements of casting a spell may be similar (in a way) to making a relationship strong and sacred.

Briefly, here are some ideas.

We’re using an analogy of nurturing a relationship.

  1. Bless water and bless salt. Combine them to make holy water.
    • Any relationship is a combination of energies.
  2. Cleanse with water and earth
    • Have a sturdy foundation of respecting each other.
  3. Cleanse with air and fire
    • You need to clear the air. Sometimes, you ask for forgiveness.
  4. Cast Circle
    • Make your home a safe haven from the outside.
  5. Call the Quarters (which is calling in the 4 Directions represented by The Elements)
    • Call on friends and family, whom you trust, to support you and your partner.
  6. Do your spell.
    • Show up and hug each other all the time.
  7. Raise energy – speaking words, raising a cone of power. Release the cone of power to do its job.
    • Pay attention to what lifts your partner’s spirits. If it includes watching some Star Trek Series with them … okay.
  8. Cakes and wine ceremony.
    • Food. Enough said.
  9. Close your Circle.
    • Find “completion points” in your day. (For example, my sweetheart massages my back every night.)

May these insights support your path.

“Valentine’s Day”- a Loving Time to Glow and Grow (A Witch’s Perspective)


How do you feel about this time of year when people celebrate “Valentine’s Day”?

Does it look like an opportunity to celebrate your love?
Or is it something you dread a bit? Will my partner disappoint me?
Oh, no!—will I fail my partner somehow?

And, can I quiet down my expectations? I mean, it’s okay to have expectations, right? Right?!

In this section, we’ll talk about patterns for couples.
(If you’re not in a couple at the moment, this conversation can still be useful.)

1. Celebrate
“Magic is love. All magic should be performed out of love.” – Scott Cunningham

With my sweetheart, I celebrate that we are kind to each other—and we do NOT give up on each other.

What would you celebrate with your partner?

2. Reaffirm
When my sweetheart and I “jumped the broom” together, we certainly related to the Wiccan tradition of “as long as love lasts.” We’ve been happily together for over 25 years. Our love is reaffirmed every day. Oh, Goddess—you need patience. Also, facial tissue for when he gets into a sneezing jag.

One thing I’ve learned is that love means you support your sweetheart’s calling. He is called to filmmaking. And, I am called to serve through this blog and my podcast. We are there to support each other’s calling.

What is your partner’s calling? How can you support them?

3. Deepen
Over the years, I have deepened as a person by stretching and learning that I could do things I did not imagine that I could.

The first time I did a workshop in New Zealand—that was a stretch.
Giving a speech is something I had to grow into.
I’m an introvert. One thing I like is the quiet time in the morning. My sweetheart is asleep. I find my own center for the day.

As a couple, we have deepened our flexibility to honor each other’s individuality.

How can you deepen your experience on your own path? How can you deepen your commitment to your partner?

Several authors have expressed: “A relationship is NOT a place you go to GET, it’s a place you go to GIVE.”

Here’s a prayer you can use:

Lord and Lady,
Help me show appreciation to my lover.
Let me support their calling.
May we glow and grow together.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
