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

How Witches Respond Well to Life’s Surprises Ep. 96
How Witches Experience the “Beneficial Paradox”
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.

How Witches Access Real Power Ep. 95

How Witches Access Real Power Ep. 95
How Witches Craft Effective Spells
“What is the most important thing to remember when you do magick?” my friend, Lisa, asked.
“The intention is the most important thing,” I replied.
“How is that? Aren’t words important?”
“Yes, they are.”
“Okay, I’m confused,” she said.
Are you concerned about how magick works?
Here are four essential parts of creating an effective spell.
- Intention
Intention is the first thing to consider. If you are not sure about what you want to accomplish, then your spell will not work. Your intention is the whole point for doing the spell. What do you intend? What do you want to accomplish with your spell?
- Words
Words help guide your intention. They create a map of how to do what it is you want the spell to accomplish. You must use specific words to get something done. Magic takes the path of least resistance. If you wanted to lose weight and you were not specific, you might become physically ill. Many people would agree that getting physically ill is a terrible and temporary way to lose weight.
You need to be specific in your choice of words. Perhaps, you may choose to say something like: “I lose weight by proper nutrition and exercise so that I maintain my health and get to a truly healthy weight for me.”
Remember to include an ending clause like “For this or better, and it harm none.”
- Ingredients
As you create your spell, carefully select the ingredients or items you use. Each ingredient has its own energy, also known as the natural object’s virtue. Natural items have their own virtues that lend their powers to your spell.
- Will
Sometimes, I say, “Will is the fuel that makes the spell ‘go.’” The Collins English Dictionary defines willpower as “the ability to control oneself and determine one’s actions.”
Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., author of The Willpower Instinct, wrote: “Willpower is about harnessing the three powers of I will, I won’t and I want to help you to achieve your goals (and stay out of trouble).”
When it comes to successfully performing magick, willpower, to me, means the driving force of desire for some form of change. So, I focus on the power of “I will.” This is an important distinction because many people think of willpower as only the ability to avoid temptation.
Realize that you need to will something into being. This includes confidence that what you are doing shall work. If you don’t have that, your spell just won’t be effective.
You need your will for your intention to be as strong as possible. This is why when we are desperate for something, we can usually manifest it. Using your will is deeply rooted in your desire.
In summary, devote care and attention to the essential items of Intention, Words, Ingredients, and Will.
May these insights support your spiritual path.

How Witches Experience the Wonders of Initiation
Initiation is a wondrous experience. Much of Initiation is kept in trust and secrecy.
Fortunately, I can give you some concepts.
- Achieve the transformation to a Priest or Priestess.
Initiation is the process of becoming a Priest or Priestess. You make vows to the God and Goddess. The details of Initiations are kept in secret. Why? Part of the reasoning is so that you can have a complete experience like no other. It’s an experience. One way I describe this is: “You don’t want to know the end of the story before you’ve seen it.” During Initiation, you are immersed in the experience.
- Experience rebirth into a new reality.
When I was initiated, I experienced the creation of a whole new reality inside and outside of myself. Initiation shakes you free of your old life, and it embraces you into the new reality of priesthood. This is a process of ending your path as a neophyte. You experience a rebirth in your new role and reality as Priest or Priestess.
- Experience how your daily life is elevated from this moment forward.
Once initiated, you find that your whole worldview is different. Things are brighter and more vibrant. Colors are more vivid. Your other senses are unusually acute. Also, when initiated you become karmically linked to your initiators.
Special Note: Since you become karmically linked to your initiators, devote appropriate time and consideration to decide with whom you want to connect.
May these insights support you on your life path.

How Witches Feel the Fullness of the Gods Versus the Emptiness Ep. 93

How Witches Feel the Fullness of the Gods Versus the Emptiness Ep. 93
How Witches Experience Their Divine Potential
Do you feel that you could be more than what you’re feeling in this moment?
Feel lost and adrift?
Here are three ways you can get back on track.
- Learn to stay open to your Divine Potential
Watch for appropriate signs. Your conscious choice to look for signs and possible meanings gives your life new ways to blossom.
I’ve noticed that certain signs can be a comfort when you’re feeling low. For example, I noticed a bird begin building her nest just outside one of my home’s windows. I watched her gather sticks and form her nest. I suddenly had the feeling that my own plans and efforts were coming together. Recently, I have been recording some audios that will become part of my next online course.
- Discover how to recognize the signs
Signs are everywhere. You can notice them on your daily walk or even a trip to the grocery store.
Signs can tell you when you’re on the right path, increasing your potential for growth.
One way to recognize signs is to notice how you feel and where you feel such a feeling.
For example, I’ll have a thought and then the feeling will manifest in my chest.
Where do you feel something in your body when you’re noticing something that is important?
- Realize that you can see the Gods’ Plan when you “look backward”
Imagine that you look at previous signs that showed up in your life. Consider that it’s like playing a dot-to-dot game. You can see how the previous signs connect and add up to something in your present—and even something in your future.
For example, I had thoughts about writing before I attended college. But I felt shut down because of my dyslexia. I did not start my blog GoddessHasYourBack.com until nine years after graduating from college.
However, as I look back now, over the years, I had moments of writing and connecting with my heart and soul.
So, the Gods’ plan that I am a blogger and author manifested through the years—according to Their pace.
By the way, the Gods showed me that I could be a writer even though I struggle daily with dyslexia.
Take a moment now and look back. Do you see any “dots” that add up to your Divine Potential?
You might find that the dots come together and form a picture of your bright future.
May these insights support you on your life journey.
