How Witches Really Listen and Change Their Lives – Ep 123
Wicca
How Witches Experience the Truth of “Your Fight May Be Someone’s Light”
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:
- Learn to be a source of light.
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?
- Know your purpose.
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?
- Ask the Gods for guidance.
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,

How Witches Safely Gather Outside Energies for Their Magick – Ep. 122

How Witches Safely Gather Outside Energies for Their Magick – Ep. 122
How Witches Raise Energy and Power through Simple Actions
“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:
- Simple can be powerful.
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.
- Complexity can scatter your energy.
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.
- Pay attention to “when” as much as “how.”
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.

How Witches Connect with Something Stronger Than Fear – Ep.121

How Witches Connect with Something Stronger Than Fear – Ep.121
How Witches Use a Simple Action for Sanity
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:
- Make a vivid image.
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?
- Verbally tell yourself a direction.
Here are examples:
- “Toss the thought into the backseat”
- “Put the thought on a shelf”
- “Let the thought flow by on the stream”
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?
- Bring the Gods into 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,

How Witches Deal with the Shadow – Ep. 120
How Witches Attract a Partner Who Is a Great Match
“I really want to attract this guy. But I’ve heard that it can be unethical to do certain spells,” Audrey, an acquaintance, asked me.
“That’s true,” I replied. This began a significant conversation about the appropriate spells one can do when one wants to attract someone.
Here are three insights.
- Do spells that are focused on yourself.
Witches know that doing a spell on another person, even a healing spell, is not appropriate if that person has not given you permission.
What is the solution? You do spells that help you remove obstacles to your being at your most attractive.
Two elements are vital in your ability to attract another person: Your confidence and your physical radiance.
Confidence radiates from one who knows her personal worth.
Here is a prayer that you can use as you do a candle-lighting ritual. (You can use a white candle on a full moon.)
Powerful Lord, Gracious Lady
May I know what good I bring to people.
May I feel the divine strength you placed within me.
Let others see the light from within.
I am with You, and I am love.
To unblock your natural physical radiance, consider doing a ritual bath.
- Communicate you are approachable and available.
Many people may have an attractive appearance but, through experiences of trauma, they may send out the energy of being unapproachable. It’s the energy of “Don’t come near me; I’m broken.”
Here is a prayer that you can use as you do a candle-lighting ritual. (You can use a pink candle on a full moon.)
By the full moon,
I ask You, Lady and Lord, this boon.
Draw to me
People that are good for me
Support my energy
So good people agree
I am approachable.
Love radiates from me.
- Discover Your Energy of “I will be a positive addition to your life.”
This is a process in which you radiate that you are appropriate and good for the one you want to attract.
Here is a prayer that you can use as you do a candle-lighting ritual. (You can use a white candle on a full moon.)
Lord and Lady,
Let my energy
Create in my loved one to be
Certainty
That I am a positive addition
To the life they lead.
In summary, to attract someone, be sure to remove obstacles so that they know you and your inner spark of divinity.
May these insights support your life path.
Blessed Be,

How Witches Deal with Healing and “The Energy of Rebelling”
Do you feel squeezed or pushed at this time?
Many of us certainly feel pressed by the health crises and unrest in the world.
We may want to rebel against whatever is oppressing us. Recently, I took part in a conversation about how “the energy of rebelling” can arise in our practice as witches.
Here are three insights:
- Look beneath the “energy of rebelling” for what you truly want
Often, when people rebel, it’s about going against something—perhaps, systemic racism, oppression of women, or other extreme situations.
People rebel against something that does not work in the world.
I have also noticed witches rebelling against the teachings of certain elders.
We, witches, may have chosen our spiritual path because we are individualistic in our approach to spirituality. Some individuals rebel against standard organized religion and look for the Pagan path and specific details that speak to them personally.
My point here is for us to look for what we truly want.
This urge to rebel may be on the surface, like a storm raging over the ocean. When you dive below the waves, you can find what you truly want.
What do you truly want?
Freedom …. community that you can relate to … people who feel as you do … support from the Gods … perhaps, other important elements for your spiritual practice.
I suggest that if you work with any spiritual elders, that you take the time to learn more about them.
If you can, ask someone who knows the particular spiritual elder these questions: “Since you worked with this spiritual elder, would you work with them again? Why? [or why not?]”
- Realize the “Energy of Rebelling” may rise from pain.
Many of us carry the pain that may have come from some form of cruelty … systemic racism, oppression of women, violence, and other terrible actions.
Some individuals rebel against spiritual elders because of a recreation of a mother-child or father-child pattern.
If possible, see if you can have a conversation in which you express your concerns about a pattern that seems to have arisen. Gently ask for what you need. Also, ask what the spiritual elder would like to see happen.
Sometimes, the answers do not line up, and one may need to find a different spiritual elder.
We all walk a personal spiritual path. Sometimes, we walk with others, and sometimes we walk alone for a time. Be true to your own path.
- Invite the Gods to support your journey from pain to healing.
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” ― Rumi
I’ve noticed that when one has a wound, one can have a hole. The hole allows energy to come in. Witches do well when they focus on making sure that healing energy comes in where it is needed.
Ask the Gods to support you in enhancing healing energy.
You can do a simple healing ritual with a green candle.
A Healing Prayer
Powerful Lord, Gracious Lady
Heal my wounds
And transform this pain
Into a creative force
For good
For strength
For peace within myself.
May my healing flow outward.
And bless my sisters, brothers, and the Earth.
Blessed Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
