How Witches Deal with a Bad Day Ep. 125
My friend looked at me, a question in her eyes: How do I know?
Clearly uncomfortable, she had no question to offer before rolling the Divinatory Dice.
I realized that questions often reveal the horizon and shine light on a new path.
Here are three insights:
Divinatory Practices include The Tarot, the pendulum, dice, and more.
These practices can use the insights of the Gods and give us access to our own intuition.
Special Note: Realize that what arises at the moment is only a snapshot of what the future might hold at this instant. You could have a new thought, which could lead to a new future outcome. That’s why it’s valuable to check different methods of divination. Often, it is good to wait for the next day to ask the same question. Consider doing meditation and ask the Gods for Their guidance.
An important practice is to quickly blurt out three questions. Why? Sometimes, we can get tangled up in our rational thinking. This can limit what arises in our consciousness.
Some people get so caught up in the past—past thoughts, past feelings, past resentments, and past regrets. That’s why it helps to blurt out your three questions. Pick one of the questions. Use a divinatory tool, and then write down its feedback.
I’ve learned that it is important to release oneself from fear and to invite the Gods to show a path that includes contentment and creativity.
When I came across this phrase, You are love discovering itself, I recalled that the Gods have placed divinity within us.
It’s that spark of life that we each have, that part of us that is divine. We all have a piece of the Gods within us. That is the part we “hear” speaking to us in our hearts. What does anything mean in our life? Listen for the Gods’ insights.
We are, in a way, the Gods experiencing life/love through us. Learning to love ourselves is learning to remember our love for the Gods.
May these insights help you on your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Deal With Being Triggered – Ep 124
In recent months, a number of heartbroken people have asked for help to reignite love. Some turn to certain individuals to do “a love spell.” As you’ll see in this post, focusing on self-love and the Gods brings some peace and calm.
Here are three insights:
The first thing to focus on is that it is unethical to attempt to do a love spell and try to do something that is against another person’s will.
You have probably noticed that when you attempt to push someone, you get what you do not want—resistance.
It is better to attract the person. Attract their interest.
How do we do that? We focus on rituals and meditation that are focused on enhancing our own personal aliveness and attractiveness.
We’re talking about reigniting love, so this is about a relationship that worked earlier. People come together because of mutual attraction.
In a long-term relationship, it becomes a dance. One partner pursues, and the other person at times draws back. The hope is that this fluctuation does not become too extreme.
To reignite love, you can look at what were your personal attractive qualities. Were you a good listener? Did you make your partner feel strong, intelligent, important, even sexy?
Perhaps, you’re in a time now in which stress (personal or even medical) has upset the balance. Some witches fortify their personal balance and health by doing meditation and rituals to invite the Gods’ support.
Being attractive and feeling attractive does not work if you are upside down.
To bring another person close, you need to be attentive to their needs.
“[Your partner needs answers] to these questions: Can I reach you? (Accessibility) … Can I rely on you to respond and care about my feelings? (Responsiveness) … Will you value me, put me first, and stay close? (Engagement).” – Dr. Sue Johnson
Because of how tough life can be and how we go through rough phases, it can be truly difficult to have the energy to be attentive to your partner’s needs. Still, it is a critical process. Some people find it necessary to get counseling so they have someone else to talk to.
Here is a candle ritual to help you strengthen yourself, enhance your attractiveness and support the bond you share with your partner.
First, use olive oil and “dress the candle”—that is, you apply the oil from the wick to the base. Be sure to use only a small amount of olive oil on the white candle.
Set up your candle so you can safely light it.
Prayer for Reigniting Love Ritual
Lord and Lady,
Thank you for Your support.
Guide me to respond and
Not react in this time.
Give me Your strength.
Enhance my attractiveness.
Bring my [partner] and me closer.
Enhance our feelings of love.
Let us recapture the feelings of joy
And aliveness we knew before—
And have our feelings now blossom
Into this new form of deeper love.
Replace my fear with
Openness, curiosity, and warmth.
Have my [partner] wake up to
This new chapter for us.
Release us from the shackles of
Disappointment, conflict, and fear.
Lord and Lady,
Reignite our love,
Strengthen our bond,
And have joy return to our hearts.
For this or better.
So mote it be.
Be certain to safely burn the candle all the way down until it is extinguished on its own. (Safety tip: Do not leave a lit candle unattended.)
May these insights help you on your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Really Listen and Change Their Lives – Ep 123
My boyfriend broke through the door to find me on the floor, a blade in one hand, a wound on my arm, and my blood on the floor. I had cut myself, as a way to relieve my emotional pain. This is called self-injury.
Minutes later, he told me, “I can endure a lot. But the cutting, I can’t take that.”
In the next days, I realized what was at stake. The love of my life told me the truth.
I resolved to eliminate cutting-behavior from my life. Through a struggle, I did remove the cutting-behavior out of our lives.
My boyfriend (now husband) and I are together for more than 20 years.
I share this story because I know that healing and hope are real.
I have three insights for you:
As we struggle through life, we witches notice it’s not easier just because of our spiritual path. Many of us talk about how life as a witch can be tougher.
During moments of struggle, it’s hard to shine while we feel alone and in the darkness.
To be a source of light, we must turn and face the light—the divinity the Gods placed within us. From this place of knowing, we can remember that our struggle may be a possible source of inspiration to someone else in the future. One day, the phrase: Your fight may be someone’s light appeared in my consciousness. This became part of my process to create a course called Spiritual Solution for Depression Relief.
I felt part of my emotional burden ease off as I realized that I had a purpose. My lessons in dealing with depression symptoms could be used to support others facing hard times with depression and pain.
As I worked on the online course with my editor, I felt my light grow with every audio recording and edited video.
In the years of writing 9 books, recording podcast episodes, and creating online courses, I’ve learned that my inner divinity was needed to light up dark places.
What are dark places in your experience, and how might you express your own creativity?
Many people want to know their purpose. Some people spend years yearning to know the answer.
So how do we find our purpose? Ask and observe. You can ask the Gods.
You can observe what gives you joy. What gifts have you been given? I’ve noticed that the intersection of gifts and joy can be one indication of something that is purpose-focused in your life.
What brings you joy? What are your gifts? How can you bring these together?
Here is an essential part of the path of the witch: Ask the Gods for guidance on your purpose and how you can be a light for others.
Many of us, witches, serve as healers, supporters for helping others find their truth, and activists for worthy causes.
Consider having a regular meditation practice. Some witches choose the Tarot or another form of divination to seek possible answers from the God and Goddess.
Let’s return to the phrase: Your fight may be someone’s light. Witches, as healers, often help people by providing support and comfort.
How will you be kind to another person?
May these insights support you on your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Safely Gather Outside Energies for Their Magick – Ep. 122
“I seem to let my tiredness stop me from doing rituals,” Sarah, an acquaintance, said.
“I’ve learned that ‘simple’ can be powerful,” I replied. This led to an important conversation.
Here are three insights:
To do magick, it takes focused attention. When you focus on a few, simple details, this concentrates your efforts. Essential details include Casting Circle, calling in the Elementals, inviting the Gods in, dismissing the Elementals at the end of the ritual … and more.
I’ve noticed that doing a complex ritual can potentially trip you up with concerns about getting each little step right. The more pieces you have to your ritual, the more your energy is diverted to those individual pieces. Your focus can be scattered away from the true work of your ritual.
For example, let’s say you’re doing a candle ritual to manifest something good in your life. However, you got the notion to do more than dressing the candle. You might add complex chants or advanced methods of decorating the candle during the ritual.
Realize that the more “moving parts” you put into a ritual, the more things can go wrong.
Let’s return to the idea of simple can be powerful.
If you want your ritual to bring something to you, you do the ritual during the waxing moon.
If you want to get rid of something, you do your ritual during the waning moon.
Days of the Week
Another strategy for making your spell more potent is to use the correct day of the week. Plan to do your spell on the day that rules what you are seeking to accomplish. Here is an abbreviated list of the days, Deities, and what they rule.
Sunday – Helios – Prosperity, power, strength, vitality, honor, passion
Monday – Diana – Agriculture, childbirth, instinct, a woman’s cycles, secrets
Tuesday – Mars – Conflict resolution, drive, war, domination, justice, protection
Wednesday – Mercury – intellect, communication, mind, and intellectual pursuits, law and court cases
Thursday – Jupiter – Travel, wisdom, animals, gambling, increase
Friday – Venus – Love spells, feminine issues, emotions, marriage
Saturday – Saturn – Discipline, responsibility, hard work
Planetary Hours
The Planetary Hours can help boost your magick with the energy of the planets.
| Planetary Hours of the Day | |||||||
| Hour | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday |
| 1 | Sun | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn |
| 2 | Venus | Saturn | Sun | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter |
| 3 | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn | Sun | Moon | Mars |
| 4 | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn | Sun |
| 5 | Saturn | Sun | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus |
| 6 | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn | Sun | Moon | Mars | Mercury |
| 7 | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn | Sun | Moon |
| 8 | Sun | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn |
| 9 | Venus | Saturn | Sun | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter |
| 10 | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn | Sun | Moon | Mars |
| 11 | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn | Venus |
| 12 | Saturn | Sun | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter | Mercury |
Supercharge your spellwork by adding the correct moon phase, day, and planetary hour. Using these strategies adds energy to your spell. Then you can create the life you desire.
Blessings,

How Witches Connect with Something Stronger Than Fear – Ep.121
Do you have certain thoughts that come up and make you feel unhappy? Do they even make you feel worthless?
I’ve learned how to make a shift so I can go forward in my day. When I need to record an audio message, I tell myself to toss the harmful thought into the backseat. I do not let the thought do the driving.
Here are three insights:
To create a powerful image, you might even add the sense of smell. The classic positive image of Grandma making cookies includes the aroma of those cookies. You can recall the taste of them and your feeling loved.
I mentioned my image of toss the harmful thought into the backseat of a car.
What image will help you shift the direction of your thoughts?
Here are examples:
The idea of let the thought flow by on the stream ties into a meditation idea of thoughts flowing on a stream of water. You avoid focusing on one thought like picking up a leaf and shoving it close to your eyes. Then you can see nothing else but this “negative thought/leaf.”
Instead, you let the thought float down the stream—away from you.
What verbal direction can you choose to help you shift your thoughts?
Close your eyes and imagine the Gods’ light shining down upon you. In your mind, you can say something like “May the Gods bless me and cleanse me of this thought. Lord and Lady, You gave me this divine spark. Let it shine freely.”
What “mini-prayer” will you choose so you can shift away from a negative thought?
May these insights support your life path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
