How Witches Stay Strong on the Sacred Path Ep. 100

Have you recently gone through some type of transition that was rough?
I’ve noticed myself and friends going through transitions at this time. Often, it feels like one is a piece of cork buffeted on the ocean.
Then, I realized that, as witches, we can choose to make the meaning of our transition. Transitions happen to everyone. And as witches, we can make these situations more profound.
Sometimes, a transition can cause us to wonder: “What does this all mean?”
Here is a prayer for helping you squeeze the meaning out of a transition—as if it were a metaphorical orange.
A Prayer During a Time of Transition
Magnificent Lord and Gracious lady,
Let the meaning of this [transition] be revealed.
May this transition cause me to be healed.
Breathe in the love and exhale the hate,
Let in the message to invigorate.
Stich by stitch I now make myself whole once more,
Sewing myself together whole to the core.
Growing through this transition through and through,
Finding my true self through this journey, too.
Thank You for all the blessings.
So Mote It Be.
May the above process support you on your life path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Understand Spiritual Essence Unclouded by Personality Ep. 99

“I almost can’t believe it. Every time I hear the news, something else is going wrong. Sometimes, I don’t feel I can’t take anymore,” my friend, Amanda, said.
During our conversation, I realized that many of us are just existing on the edge. There’s an old phrase that many people are just one paycheck away from disaster.
We all need reserves in our everyday and spiritual lives.
Here I’ll talk about developing your own energetic and spiritual reserve.
Make sure to get enough rest and eat nutritious foods. Even just drinking a glass of water can help. I had a family member getting ready to do a live online show. He didn’t feel so well. After just one glass of water, he was in much better shape. Now that the fires are subsiding (at this moment: only 26 major wildfires remain) in California, I’m back outside doing my daily walk.
Devote some time to meditation. Even a five-minute daily session of meditation is helpful.
You can make up your own phrases to focus on.
Here is an example of phrases to use for focusing:
Powerful Lord and Gracious Lady
Grant me a spiritual reserve
And help me keep it and preserve
Inner peace and energy
I’m not alone, I can see.
So Mote It Be.
Gathering in an online conversation with fellow members of our spiritual community can lift your spirits.
Talking with someone over a Zoom call or a standard phone call can help ease a burden of something that is troubling you.
Devote time, perhaps once a week, to talk with certain friends or family members.
You might create a “buddy system” pattern. I have a family member who talks, on the phone, with a fellow novelist three times a week. They provide each other with real support.
Talking with a friend can help you ease your stress. This support you’re feeling is a reserve of energy.
This eases a sense of feeling alone.
May these insights support your life path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Stand Tall When People Use Fear as a Weapon Ep. 98

“I’m afraid about crafting my first spells,” Andrea, a new acquaintance, said to me.
This began a significant conversation.
Sometimes, I look at crafting spells like cooking versus baking.
If you’re cooking and experimenting with a recipe, you can take it easy and try things. Maybe you’ll add a bit of pepper. Or a bit of spice. Things that may not need precise amounts. However, some spell components need to be precise.
I call this the difference between Experimenting Spellwork and Critical Spellwork. If you’re doing a simple spell just to enhance your prosperity, you might be in the area of Experimenting Spellwork.
However, if you’re dealing with something you will consume (like certain herbs), then you’re in the realm of Critical Spellwork. I note that Critical Spellwork is similar to baking because baking has chemical reactions involved (for example, a roux).
Remember some herbs are poisonous. And herbs have chemical compounds that may not be safe. When working with herbs, stay with the ones you know. Be sure to investigate reliable sources as you do research. Remember some herbs may be safe for some individuals but not safe for others. Certainly, be careful about whatever you ingest if you’re pregnant or may become pregnant.
Questions to ask are:
Make certain that you ask these questions if you consider working with advanced spells or possibly some form of hazardous materials.
Here is a Vital Part of Spellwork – the Safety Clauses
In my own spellwork, I use these clauses:
Safety clauses help keep you (and others) safe from harm. Safety clauses also protect you from the possibility of a spell backfiring on you. Safety clauses also create boundaries that will not be crossed with your spells.
An example:
For a money spell, include something like: “May no one be harmed and for the good of all involved.” (You’re guarding against the situation of a favored relative dying and then leaving money behind.)
May these insights support your life path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

What are you thankful for? Have you heard that Mabon is the witches’ Thanksgiving? This is the time of year where we count our blessings, and we express gratitude for positive things in our lives.
A good activity is to write a list of things you’re thankful for and your related reasons.
Make a Sigil of Thanksgiving
You can make your own sigil of Thanksgiving. Click on the link for a description of the step-by-step process.
You can use a phrase like:
“I am thankful for _____ [for example, ‘my friends’]”

Then, you bless your wine/juice. Anoint the sigil with some of the liquid.
Speak aloud what you are thankful for and why.
Light the sigil on your working candle and place it carefully into your heatproof vessel.

How Witches Respond Well to Life’s Surprises Ep. 96

Have you noticed that meditation and rituals give you peace, clarity and closeness with the Gods?
Recently, I realized that there are times when peace and clarity can be opposed to each other.
Perhaps, you’re like me, and you would like to experience more moments of peace each day. I experience peace as moments in which I’m free of self-deprecating thoughts that cause me pain.
However, I’ve experienced moments of clarity that actually bothered me.
When you have clarity, you can feel uneasy. For example, Janet did a Tarot reading and a ritual about her job. She received clarity… that she was in the wrong job. She felt a stirring of anxiety. It felt like the opposite of peace.
In a conversation with a friend, the phrase “Beneficial Paradox” arose about this relationship between peace and clarity. We need both.
What’s the solution to the Beneficial Paradox of Peace versus Clarity?
I’ve found a solution in talking to the Gods during a meditation session. This can create a certain closeness you can’t get with other people. With this close relationship, the Gods can guide you to clarity as well.
Clarity can save your life.
Some years ago, I stopped for a red light at an intersection.
The light turned green, but I heard guidance from the Gods in the form of “Don’t go!”
So, I hesitated.
Another car raced through the intersection, and it would have crashed into my car if I had driven forward.
Meditation and ritual can condition you to receive guidance more often.
One more point: Sometimes the Gods give you clarity, but you don’t want to accept it yet. I’ve used this comment: “Sometimes, you get ‘Goddess-slapped’ upside your head.” This means that Goddess shakes you up. It helps to stay open and receive guidance.
May these insights support your life journey.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
