Transform Worry – From Inaction to the Blossoming of Positive Energy (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“It’s on your face. Something is really bothering you,” one of my spiritual elders said.

“I’m so worried about the situation my friend is in,” I said. “I call him. I listen. But I still feel worried.”

“Imagine this. You take that worry and shift it. You transform it into something to offer to the God and Goddess,” my spiritual elder said.

“Okay. I’m in. How do I do that?” I asked.
We had a discussion.

A first step is to develop a prayer to the God and Goddess.

Worry feels bad if you do nothing.

Developing your own prayer is doing something valuable.

Here is an example:

Lord and Lady,
Give __ “Friend’s Name” __ what they need to grow and express the destiny You have given them.
Help them walk their true path with confidence and endurance.
Bless them with the energy and courage they need to do their inner work.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

A Surprising Solution to Frustration (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

Years ago, my first husband yelled at me as I walked toward the house where we lived.

This was his way. (No confusion about why I dropped this moron.)

It was an understatement to say I was frustrated with his behavior.

Still, I remember a particular afternoon. He yelled but I simply raised my spiritual shield. His anger just bounced off my shield of peace. I just walked past him.

Recently, I reflected on frustration.

Have you notice that it feels natural that some things get us feeling frustrated?

We can’t control people. We can influence our own inner space.

That’s why our inner work is so important.

“If that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee.” – Doreen Valiente

Today, I noticed that one of my top-drawing blog posts is about attracting positive friends. (Here’s the LINK.)

Here’s a useful thought.

A solution to frustration is: Do that which strengthens you.

It’s an internal process.

Imagine doing a meditation session and including these words of power:

By the Sun, Moon, and Stars!
By Jupiter, Mars, and Venus!
By Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water!
Give me the strength to be my own person.
Keep me safe in my own mind and beyond.
Let me tame my inner whirlwind.
Let me be at peace within,
As I So Will, So Mote It Be

What external events cause you frustration?

You CAN invite the Goddess to help you strengthen yourself.

You can ask Her to guide you, so you feel empowered during times of frustration.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

When Is a Person Like a Wave of Light? (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“When you observe light—depending on HOW you observe it—it functions as a particle or a wave,” one of my spiritual elders said.

“What’s this got to do with Wicca?” my friend, Alicia, asked. The three of us had an extended conversation.

“We, witches, have an advantage. We’re not stuck with only one book and one voice,” this spiritual elder said.

I reflected on this.

I recall this quote:

“The most important magical tool that you have is your mind.” – Janet Farrar, in The Inner Mysteries: Progressive Witchcraft and Connection to the Divine

How do we honor this gift from the God and Goddess—our mind?

First, let’s realize that your mind is different than your brain.

Second, with my depression symptoms, it feels like several times my brain and body are out to get me.

To honor my mind—my Essence—I can ask a question: “What would Goddess say about this situation and how I’m feeling?”

At one point, I was feeling awful. The depression symptoms were beating me up.
But a fresh voice of the Goddess showed up in my thoughts. She said, “You’re learning.”

That gave me an internal shift. It was a shift in my consciousness. It felt like falling and scraping a knee. One can learn from mistakes.

Do you want to pray to the Goddess and discover an internal shift?

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Pick the Goddess Path Before You Fall into a “Dark Well” (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“There’s got to be something better than this,” I said to a spiritual elder.

We were talking about how several friends were saying:

  • It’s a disaster.
  • What a wreck.
  • Damn, why’d I get this problem now?!

An idea arose.

In a previous post, I shared my quick prayer that helps me cope with tough moments.

I say, “Gods, help me.”

My spiritual elder said, “That’s good! You start from the premise that you’re not alone. And that the God and the Goddess are here to support you. They love you.”

I reflected on this.

Would you find it a good idea to start with “Gods, help me” before these other ideas take over?

  • It’s a disaster.
  • What a wreck.
  • Damn, why’d I get this problem now?!

What quick prayer would you like to make part of your daily life?

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Love and Safety Through the Goddess Way (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments
10000179651752651291632960177

“Do I know you well enough, so you feel safe and loved?” my husband of over 26 years asked me.

Do we know anyone well enough?

“You shall be free from slavery.” – The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

Have you ever felt like a slave to your anxieties?

I have depression symptoms. So, I often feel like crap.

When do I feel safe?
Often, when my husband is next to me.

Recently, I was driving us in my car, and he called out, “Watch out, on your left.” Yes. His keen eyes protected us from an accident.

When do I feel loved?
I feel loved when my kitten, Max, gives me kitty kisses.

I feel loved when my sweetheart gives me a nightly backrub.

Let’s pause a moment.

Do your loved ones know what helps you feel safe and loved?

Here’s a prayer to the Goddess you can use.

Lady of the Moon,
May Your Light shine upon me
And bless me with reverence, kindness, peace, and safety.
May I also let my loved ones know how they can support me.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Find Your Music – The Door to the Goddess’s Level (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments

“How is your daily life?”
“It’s crap,” Alicia, someone in my community, said.
The divorce didn’t help.

How is your own daily life?
Do you feel that you connect with the Goddess each day?

Maybe, like many of us, you feel too exhausted to do a ritual.

Then the answer is to do something simple.

First, can you walk for 5 minutes next to trees?
How about listening to comforting music?

In my circle, a friend, Ben, dances for 4 minutes a day. He’s been doing this daily. He does NOT look in the mirror. He just improvises his little dance.

“Sometimes, a move just shows up that’s so in sync with the music. It feels fantastic,” Ben said.

When I talk about “find your music,” I suggest that you find some sacred text that resonates with you. It is like the words function as lyrics.

I resonate with this phrase:

“All acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.” – The Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

Ben likes…

“Keep pure your highest ideal…” – The Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

What sacred text lifts you up? (Leave a comment. Thanks.)

May these insights support your path.

How Goddess Leads You to Relief (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

“I’m going to be homeless” – this thought ran like fire in my mind.
I felt so overwhelmed.

I needed the shortest possible prayer.
Here it is: “Gods, help me.”

Over and over, I would say this.
Did it give me total relief? No. Why? I deal with depression symptoms. What does that mean? Often, I feel like crap!

But saying “Gods help me” truly works.
How? It reminds me of important things.

Here are some important details:

  • You’re not alone
  • The God and Goddess care about you.
  • You have hope that things can improve.
  • A solution is possible—at any moment.
  • The Goddess can open for you, a new possibility and a new opportunity.

These important details can give you some moments of relief.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

What if you need to shift to calm in a stressful situation? (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 2 Comments

“When are you calm during the day?” a friend, Alicia, asked me.

“Usually when I first wake up in the morning. Before the weight of the day crashes down on my shoulders,” I replied.

Alicia wasn’t expecting that answer.

Meanwhile…

Lidia, someone I know, works in retail. She’s noticing that more and more customers in recent weeks have been saying rude, impatient things. Downright mean insults.

Lidia needs to stay calm – or lose her job.

I asked her, “Do you have some way to hold your calm?”

Lidia said, “Every day, I have a 3-minute ritual in which I purposely shift to calm.”

“Each of us must find our ideal way to attune with deity.” – Scott Cunningham

Here is a ritual you can use.

Own Your Calm Ritual – Invite Goddess

Light a white candle and say these words:

Goddess,
As pure as light, may Your calm wash over me.
May I bathe in this candle’s blessed light.
Thank You for peace, calm, and strength.
So Mote It Be!

May these insights support you.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Milestones or Moments? – Ask Goddess (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / 4 Comments

I was concerned. I had just a week to create my 400th Podcast episode. This was so important to me… and to the listeners who have downloaded my podcast episodes over 45,000 times.

Do you feel squeezed by other people’s expectations?

Are you harsh with yourself about expectations?

I was wracked with questions:

On some lists (https://podcast.feedspot.com/wicca_podcasts/) my podcast is designated as the #3 Wicca Podcast.

Can I live up to that?

Whoa. STOP.

What would Goddess tell me?

I paused for quiet time.

I realized…

  • It’s not about the milestone.
  • It is about showing up—to do a service for my community.

As we did the episode, it went better than we expected.
It showed up as an inspiration.

We showed up in the Moment.

Do you get caught up in expectations and worries?

Imagine what the Goddess would tell you.

Ask:

  • Goddess, how do I navigate the expectations and worries—in a healthy way?

Invite the Goddess:

  • Goddess, guide me to make the best choices in this situation.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Wash Away the Pain (A Witch’s Perspective)

/ Moonwater / Leave a comment

Ever move too fast at work and bump your hand … perhaps, you SMACK your hand on the corner of a desktop computer?

Owww!

One of my spiritual elders developed her own ritual.

After bumping her hand, she went to the employee restroom. She ran the water faucet. Cool water cascaded on her hand.

In her mind, she said,

God, Goddess,
May this water wash away my discomfort.

She did feel better.

Would you feel better to have your own brief ritual to support yourself? And would you ask the God and the Goddess for comfort?

May this support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
