How Witches Create Confidence in Spellwork – Ep. 133
Wicca
Using the Tarot in Everyday Life
“What happens during a Tarot reading?” my friend, Sandra, asked.
“It’s a chance to get insights from the God and the Goddess,” I replied.
“Oh, I had not heard that!”
I have three insights for you…
- Ask the right questions.
What is a “right question”? Here are examples:
- How do I know when…?
- What should I look for when…?
- What does it look like when…?
My spiritual elders note that it is ethically wrong to delve into other people’s thoughts and feelings. So, avoid questions like: a) “Does Nancy think I’m cute?” – b) “When will my boyfriend leave his wife?” – c) “When is the job mine?” – or d) “When will I sell my house?”
Some authors suggest that asking the Tarot to “predict” certain outcomes is not helpful. They note that the Universe keeps flowing, and people and beings are making new choices all the time. If you ask a question like “When will my house sell?” the answer you see may only be accurate for that moment in time.
Perhaps a better question to ask would be, “Please give me the signs for when my house is about to sell.”
- Where does all the guidance come from?
My impression is that when you do a Tarot reading, you are communicating with the Gods.
Several authors suggest that the Tarot is connected to intuition or the Universe. I feel that intuition and the Universe are forms of the God and Goddess.
Your Intuition is knowing that the Gods placed inside of you. Intuition helps guide us on our life path. And the Universe is The All. The All is everything and everyone. Several spiritual elders suggest that The All is manifested as the God and the Goddess.
- Ideas for Before and After the Tarot Reading
It is good to have a Tarot journal to write down details of your reading. For example:
Date of Reading:
Who the Reading was for:
Card Spread Used:
Question Asked:
Cards Pulled:
The Placement of Each Card:
Answer and Insight Given:
Your Results (after one month):
You can set up a sacred space before you do a Tarot reading. You could cast a Circle. However, you are not required to do so. Also, consider saying a prayer before you do your Tarot reading.
Immediately after the Tarot reading, you can say a prayer of gratitude.
After the reading, you can meditate. During that meditation session, you can ask the God and Goddess to add to your understanding of details that arose in the Tarot reading.
May these insights support you on your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Take Spiritual Action During Global Warming – Ep. 132
How Witches Dig Deep and Find Their True Path
Do you believe that you live in a friendly universe that will give you what you want?
The Gods want to give us what we want with a related detail. Sometimes, what you want is not good for you. For example, a small child may want candy all the time, but they need nutrition. Here is a process to help you dig deeper than your surface desires.
- Ask the “5-Deep Questions.”
Here is an example. When talking with my friend, Steven, I first asked him, “What do you want?”
“I want new job,” he replied.
“What will that get you?”
“Money,” Steven said.
“And what does money get you?”
“Freedom from worries.”
I remained silent for a moment. “So, what you really want is freedom from worries?
“Yes.”
(This example shows how to discover a deeper level. With only three questions, we got to freedom from worries. Now, we can go further.)
“What does freedom from worries get you?” I asked.
“I don’t know.”
I remained silent for a little while.
“Peace, he said.
“You want peace?” I asked.
“Yes.”
“What do you get with peace?”
“I can stop being so afraid.”
“So, you want to be free of fear?”
Steven’s eyes lit up. “Yes! I really want to be free of fear.”
Steven has taken a short journey of discovery.
- Look for a way to go directly to what you deeply want.
When you ask these questions, you drill down to the essential part of what you really want.
After I work with these questions, I like to do a meditation session. As I meditate, I talk with the Gods and ask Them about details I uncovered with my questions.
One time, Their guidance was that I could go directly to peace and freedom from fear in a meditation session. It was as if all the external things like job, money, and buying stuff were not essential because the meditation session could take me directly to peace and interacting with the Gods.
- Notice the Gods’ point of view of the difference between your wants and needs.
The Gods know what you really need. You may want a high-paying job, but maybe you’re not ready for the tough hours that the job requires. The Gods know that you will miss out on closeness with family members because the job’s required long-hours would keep you away from them. Those long hours may wreak havoc on your health.
The Gods see the overview of what’s truly good for us. We may ask for something, and the Gods may protect us from the damage that certain things may cause.
The Gods care for us, and They want us to be happy. At the same time, They realize that we need to learn life lessons. The Gods can see more than we can. They know what we need in our lives.
I invite you to seek the Gods’ guidance in meditation sessions. Get access to the Gods’ understanding.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,

How Witches Stay Strong in Tough Times – Use Spiritual Tools
“Surgery again?” my friend, Kim, asked.
“This time went better,” I replied.
Years ago, when I had my first surgery that removed my spleen, I did not ask the Gods for Their intervention. I’m still surprised about that.
In recent days, I had surgery again. It was significant because the surgical team used anesthesia to have me fully unconscious.
For this surgery, I put my spiritual tools into action.
I have three insights for you:
- Talk with the Goddess
In my previous surgery, I just resigned myself that I would either live or die.
This time, I talked to the Goddess and asked Her to keep me safe. During a quiet time as I talked with the Goddess, deep in my heart, I felt Her support. I had the feeling of being serene and that everything was going to be just fine.
I invite you to use prayer, and you can just speak to the Goddess in your own thoughts.
- Ask your community for support with rituals and prayer
I invited people in my circle to do a candle ritual to support me to have a successful surgery, to keep me safe, and to keep me free of surgical complications.
- Consider divinatory tools
When I spread the Tarot cards, I saw a positive message. This message was clear and to the point: I was going to be okay. The positive reading helped me feel secure in that I was going to flow well through surgery and the healing process.
(Special Note: If you have a reading that causes you discomfort, then turn to the Gods for Their guidance. You can ask for the Gods’ intervention.)
I invite you to turn to your spiritual path and spiritual tools during the big and tough situations of life. Ask the Gods for help. You are likely to find that They help you achieve peace where strife may be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Shift Away From Lack – Ep. 130

How Witches Shift Away From Lack – Ep. 130
How Witches Focus on the Essentials and Avoid Big Mistakes
“What kind of information would have been most helpful when starting to learn the Craft? What kind of fundamental information would be most beneficial?” one of my readers asked.
I immediately thought of guidelines. Here is a partial list. Each item will have a brief comment from me.
- Honor the Earth, the beings of this Earth, and the Gods.
Wicca is a spiritual path of respect for Nature and the Gods. So many people first focus on magick. That is an error. We focus on the spiritual aspects first. Wicca is not simply ordering from a menu of the cosmic restaurant.
- Use protection clauses in your spellwork.
It is important to use protection clauses because magick can have big consequences. You can say, “This or better.” Another clause is: “And it harm none.”
- Get permission before you do spellwork related to anyone
Even when you’re doing a healing spell, do the ethical thing and ask the person for his or her permission.
- Take care with The Wiccan Rede
The classic form of The Wiccan Rede is: “Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill, An it harm none do what ye will” as written by Doreen Valiente. This serves as a guideline. Yes, we brush our teeth and harm bacteria. Still, the Goddess agrees with good dental hygiene.
The Wiccan Rede remains a good guideline because we are here to be supportive and kind.
- In your spellwork, always dismiss any entities (this includes Elementals) before you complete your spellwork.
In other blog posts, I have noted that failing to dismiss the Water Elementals can lead to plumbing problems in one’s home. (I was alerted to this problem by one of my spiritual elders.) Be sure to dismiss any entities that you call into your Circle.
- If you consider someone as a mentor, ask other people: “If you had to work with that person again, would you?”
This question gets the person who offers a referral to pause and think about the potential mentor. Some people are knowledgeable, but they still cause unnecessary problems. Be careful about who you associate with.
- Read several sources for different points of view on Wicca and witchcraft. Double-check your sources.
Recently, a friend was hit with trouble from a scammer. This reminds me of how several quotes on the Internet are mislabeled. Inaccuracies can cause real trouble in spellwork and for your personal credibility in the Wiccan community. Double-check sources. Conduct searches and consult spiritual elders to get a more accurate view.
The above is a partial list. Still, it covers some essential, foundational elements.
May these insights support your journey.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Work with Magick, Free Will, and the Goddess’s Intervening – Ep. 129

How Witches Work with Magick, Free Will, and the Goddess’s Intervening – Ep. 129
How Witches Deal with Televised and Social Media Cruelty
“I know I should let go, but I’m stuck,” I told my friend, Sarah.
It had been another bitter morning caused by one of my family members. This guy just spewed bitter garbage criticizing another family member.
So, I was upset by the mean comments said in my household.
At the same time, Sarah was upset because she had seen a morning televised report about how some idiot had abused a cat. The cat soon died.
This led to a discussion about Goddess’s grace, letting go and even shielding ourselves.
I have three insights for you…
- Choose self-care.
The Lord and Lady want you to be happy.
“For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit and mine also is joy on earth; for my Law is Love unto all Beings.” – Doreen Valiente, writing in the voice of the Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess
The Gods want you to be free of continual stress. They understand that you will have challenges and obstacles to overcome. They know that it’s important for you to take care of yourself. Each of us must discover what works as personal self-care. Such self-care will help you let go of stress and become healthier.
In this post, I will share specifics about shielding, letting go, and dealing with the triggers that televised/social media cruelty presses upon us.
- Discover shielding and letting go.
To help you shield yourself, I developed the InstaCircle.
How to Do an InstaCircle
Using your power hand (that is, your dominant hand), trace the Circle three times around and above your head.
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.
That completes your InstaCircle and your energy-shield.
- When you’re triggered, seek the strength of the Goddess.
Have you noticed how often televised news broadcasts and much of social media features a communication designed to trigger the audience?
Unfortunately, many people seek to use triggers to manipulate the audience. Triggers create fear, disgust and anger.
When you find yourself triggered, bring Goddess into your awareness.
When I talk to the Goddess who soothes me, I get a better connection with Her. Simply talking, in your mind, to Goddess can empower you on a daily basis. You can also grow in your relationship with Her through rituals and meditation.
You can say:
Dear Goddess,
Help me strengthen my resolve.
Release me from stress.
Let me bring the best of myself
To each moment of life.
Since you can observe how certain televised broadcasts/social media trigger you, a crucial plan is to reduce your exposure to said televised broadcasts/social media.
Some of us find ourselves having nightmares.
It’s valuable to bring Goddess into a process of settling to sleep.
You can say:
Lovely Lady,
Guide me to sleep tonight.
Give me rest
For I am safe
And whole in this moment.
I rest in Your arms.
You bless me, and I am grateful.
So Mote It Be.
For many of us, it is vital to stay away from screens (TV and devices) for two hours before sleep, so we can have restful sleep.
Special Note: We realize that terrible things are going on in this world. We must learn to shift and shield ourselves. We can also develop what I call Action-Hope. For example, I was concerned about animal cruelty. So, for years I volunteered the Peninsula Humane Society. I was part of the answer in that I cared for small animals for a portion of each week. Later, I went to another Humane Society facility so I could adopt my cat, Magick, when he was a kitten.
Goddess knows that we need rest and to shift into an empowered state of being.
Also, you can connect with other resources. For dealing with my own depression symptoms, I have therapy and appropriate medication to support my health.
May these insights support you.
