“Why does this always happen to me?”

Have you asked yourself this question?

You could use an empowering question: “How does Goddess view this situation?”

Empowered witches know that positive thinking patterns can help them. They can fulfill their destiny blessed by the Gods.

Here are three insights.

1. Make the decision once.

If you have something you want to do, set up a plan. Make the decision once.

For example, I have a morning prayer. I made the decision to do it every morning. I avoid needing the energy to make a choice every morning. I am not choosing whether to do my prayer or not. It is automatic for me to say my prayer every day.

      2. Make it a routine.

Your one decision is about setting up a routine. Just like you brush your teeth. You have a routine. You wake up, and you brush your teeth. Just before you go to bed, you brush your teeth.

It also helps to attach your new routine to something you already do.

For example, every day I sit down at my laptop computer. That’s where I do my morning prayer.

      3. Choose a second thought.

Many times, our first thought is a negative one that was programmed during childhood. Some people say, “I am not good enough.”

Instead, you can practice prayers, so you have a second thought that empowers you.

Here is a prayer.

Goddess, you know all the good that I am and all the good that I can express.
Help me shift into my best self.
So mote it be.

The above prayer is a positive second thought.
The below prayer is about asking for a positive second thought.

Lord and Lady,
Inspire me to get a second thought.
Help me act with wisdom.
To solve my woe.
So mote it be.

May these insights help you on your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“What was the turning point?” my friend, Bea, asked.

“When I began, I went to a Barnes and Noble bookstore. Fortunately, I talked with someone who turned out to be a Wiccan person. She placed a stack of Wicca-related books in my hands.” I smiled at the memory. “It was when I had the courage to be myself. To follow the Wiccan path.”

My family would never understand if I told them of my Wiccan path.
So, it remained my secret.

Here are three insights.

1. Resolve to make a shift away from looking for approval.

“Measure by your heart, not by others’ approval,” Tom Marcoux, the author, wrote.

I followed my heart and the Gods, into a new reality. My family’s disapproval (if they ever knew) would not hold me back. They had dragged me to church. But they would not shackle my heart.

On the Wiccan path, I was happier than I had ever been before. I let go of ever seeking my family’s or society’s approval.

What about you? What does your heart tell you?

2. Realize that courage comes from “fullness.”

Wicca and witchcraft created fullness where only raw emptiness reigned before.

The scorn of certain rigid and bigoted people is from fear.

Instead, the love of the God and Goddess is fullness.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear. – Franklin D. Roosevelt

3. Invite the God and Goddess to shine a light on your path of courage.

Here is a prayer to support your path.

A Prayer:

My Lady of the Moon and Lord of the Sun,
Illuminate the path of courage for me.
Show me love and compassion where fear once resided
Let my courage fill the space where once a plea for approval took hold.
Let the fullness of Your Love guide me and protect me.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“That ended,” my friend Kendra said, looking down at the floor.

“What happened?” I asked.

“My friendship with Fiona ended,” she said.

She sounded so disillusioned and hurt.

Kendra and I had a long discussion about how Fiona had cut off their friendship because Fiona has major prejudices against witches.

We often turn to friends or family for support.

Where does a witch go when there is no ready support?

Here are three insights.

1. Realize where limitations are.

The idea of being disillusioned sounds bad. And often it hurts. When Kendra lost Fiona’s friendship, Kendra was distraught. So many years and good times were gone.

Have you had this experience?

Human beings are limited, to a great extent. We hope that a friend or family member will be someone we can go to when we’re in trouble or we’re hurting bad. But often, the other person is caught up in their own turmoil. They can’t see our pain because their vision is clouded by their own pain.

They are stuck. It’s as if they have a personal mountain range surrounding them. They see nothing else. They are limited.

2. Look to the limitless.

Who is limitless? The God and Goddess are. They are all-encompassing. They have all of time and space to give you the attention you need. For They are truly limitless. But how can you get in touch with Them? Now, you can meditate, conduct rituals, or pray.

3. When you have nowhere to turn, face ultimate reality.

What is the ultimate reality? The Love of the God and Goddess is limitless. Humans, not so much. Humans are in their own worlds many times. As we notice, many individuals are limited to their own viewpoints and prejudices.

So where do witches go when there’s nowhere to go? They go within. They go to the inner space. Some people call it “Going to the Silence.”

You can do this through meditation. It is listening to your inner voice and the Gods.

Prayer is another way to turn to the God and Goddess.

A Prayer:

Lady of the Moon, Lord of the Sun,
Support me to feel your Love.
Give me compassion for myself and others.
Lead me to my strength, clarity, health, and wisdom.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“That Emily is so mean!” a friend, Alicia, said.

“How are you protecting yourself?” I asked.

This began an important conversation about dealing with toxic people.

I have three insights for you.

1. Have a shielding routine to protect yourself from toxic people.

Having a reliable shielding routine is important. How many people are you in contact with every day? In a bus or in a car next to you. At work or school.

It is likely many of these people are upset about something. You do not want any of that toxic energy clinging to you.

Having a shielding practice can help you repel that unwanted, negative energy. For more about shielding, click here.

2. Have a reserve of energy so you can handle situations made worse by toxic people.

I have learned that dealing with toxic people is not only about being “tough.” The point is toxic people can drain people’s energy. The solution includes a) practice shielding and b) develop your own practices that build your personal reserve of energy.

With a reserve of energy, you can think clearly and act effectively.

Every week, have your own energy renewal rituals and routines. These are prayer, rituals, and meditations. Walking in nature, exercise, and good nutrition also build up your reserve of energy. These activities restore your energy. In this way, you can have a store of energy when tough times and negative people turn up in your life.

3. Call on the God and Goddess for wisdom and strength.

As we talked about… toxic people drain energy! So, turn to the God and Goddess for renewing your energy and for wisdom.

Here is a prayer:

Goddess of the Moon,

Grant me the wisdom to do actions that restore my energy.

Empower me and renew me so I have a reserve of energy.

When facing toxic people, may Your Love and Wisdom guide me.

May my shield ever protect me.

So Mote it Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“That’s when I felt dumb and stupid,” my friend, Alicia, said.
“Have you ever been able to let it go…for a time?” I asked.
“Not really. I wish I could,” she said.
This conversation really gripped me. With my depression symptoms, I have endured several times when I was angry with myself. I felt terrible.
I needed to look at positive actions that I could take.
Here are three insights.

1. Prevent Regret

Do you listen to yourself? Do you pause and think about how you might feel in the future about a present decision?

Sometimes, I pause. I reflect on the situation. I say to myself, “If I don’t do this, I will regret it.” This can get me into action.

I learned about “rocking chair regrets.” Picture that you’re older and in a rocking chair. Will you regret certain things you did not do?

“I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” – Mark Twain

I have a friend who made a feature film. Did it make money? No. Does she regret doing the film? No. Why? It was an adventure, and it led to good things for many people in the cast and crew.

“It’s better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.” – Jackie Joyner-Kersee

So how can you tell what you will regret when making a decision? Think of the rocking chair. How will you feel when you reflect on your life?

Carefully make choices and consider appropriate risks for you to have a good life.

2. Handle the regret you have.

What is life? Learning and growing. If you have a regret, think to yourself, “What’s the lesson I can learn from this?” Mistakes are for learning. The classic comment is: “Wisdom comes from bad decisions.”

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” – Maya Angelou

That’s part of handling regret. Tell yourself: “When I know better, I do better.”

I have a friend who says, “I don’t go backward.” He is an artist. He completes projects, moves forward, and starts the next project. Some of his projects fail to get the response he’d like. He does not get stuck in revising his old work. He focuses on building a collection of his work.

I talked with a screenwriter who said, “A smart screenwriter has one screenplay put into the marketplace…one screenplay she is finishing…and one screenplay she is starting. She is not afraid about having only one project. She avoids regretting that she did not take action.”

3. Invite Goddess to help you handle regret.

Goddess and God stand by to support you.

Here is a prayer to support you:

Goddess of the Moon and Lord of the Sun,
Help me let go of regret and use the lessons learned to do better.
Infuse me with the energy of calm in this present moment.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey. 

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
