How Witches Prevent Premature Aging and Decay in Themselves – Ep. 268
witchcraft
How Witches Handle When “Nothing is Comfortable – Nothing is Safe”
“Are you okay?” I asked Martha, my longtime friend.
“No.”
I waited and listened.
“Since my parents have both gone to the hospital—two different hospitals. I’m walking around. It all looks different. Like nothing is safe.”
This began an extended conversation.
I have three insights for you.
1. If you don’t feel safe, you’re not broken.
God and Goddess made you to feel it all. The highs and lows. Moments feeling confident. Times of being torn by anxiety.
Often, it is natural to feel these waves of emotion.
If you have access to your High Priest/Priestess, they may be a good source for support.
** Special Note: If you have persistent thoughts of anxiety, worry or depression, consult mental health and physical health professionals. I have mental health professionals supporting me. I take appropriate medication, too.
Remember to reach out to God and Goddess for support, too.
2. Not feeling safe may signal a time of transition and growth.
When transitions happen, feelings of confusion can arise.
Are you not feeling safe?
Yes—we are creatures of habit. We like to know what to expect.
But life keeps hitting us with new and unexpected events.
You have a friend that you feel will be with you to the end. But suddenly, they ghost you.
People get sideswiped by a divorce.
Aging parents change and become demanding. Many become downright bitter.
“The future is always all around us, waiting, in moments of transitions, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.
– J. Michael Strazynski
It’s natural to try to duck pain. But life keeps pulling things away. We experience so much loss.
When things change, many emotions rise including fear.
What can we do? Ritual and meditation. Create moments of peace during your day. Be kind to yourself. Seek soothing music. Do what works for you. And, remember the God and Goddess.
3. Ask Goddess for comfort.
Some things are so big and heavy that we must call on the Goddess.
She stands ready to support us. Do not hesitate. She says, “My law is love” (from The Charge of the Goddess—written by Doreen Valiente in the voice of the Goddess).
Goddess loves you. She wants to help you.
Here is a prayer you can use.
Goddess, help me feel safe in Your arms.
Comfort me, calm me,
Help me in my time of need.
Show me the way to growth and happiness.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Use the Power of Letting Go – Ep. 267

How Witches Use the Power of Letting Go – Ep. 267
How Witches Protect Themselves During the Dark Times
The cars collided. The airbag punched me in the face. My dinner almost leapt from my mouth.
Days later, I realized. I did not have a protection sigil in the car!
I have three insights for you.
1. Protection in terms of boundaries, the Cosmic Egg of Protection and a Protection Sigil serve different purposes.
Do you have a friend or family member who pushes you too much? You may need to have a boundary with this person. You can say, “I need to sleep. I don’t take calls after 9 pm.”
A boundary is permeable. You probably would let your spouse call you whenever needed.
Here is a protection meditation called The Cosmic Egg which is like a wall. You are protected from dark energies. Here is the link to my post about that.
As I mentioned, I failed to have a Protection Sigil in my car. Here’s a Link to my post about creating a sigil.
Creating sigils is easy to do.
2. Protection is natural and necessary.
It is true that some people and things cause harm. An old quote says, “You can’t give what you don’t have.” If you do not protect yourself and your energy, you’ll have no energy left. Want to be kind to a friend? – you’ll need energy. Want to complete your college degree? – you’ll need energy.
You can use the following InstaCircle process for protection…
3. Ask the Goddess for protection.
Goddess loves us. She is there for us. Call on Her for protection. Anytime your intuition warns you that you are going into a dangerous situation, call on the Goddess.
You can quickly cast the InstaCircle.
Here is the InstaCircle process with the movements:
Using your power hand (your dominant hand), trace the Circle three times.
I cast my Circle thrice,
round, round and round.
Point your index finger up to the heavens and then pull energy down to the ground.
Let no bane get in,
From heavens to ground.
The InstaCircle can support you by shielding you from negative energies.
Now here is an additional prayer:
Gods hold me secure,
In Your mighty hands
So gentle and true.
Shield me from negative energies
So that I may thrive in Your light.
So mote it be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Create a Powerful Intention for Their Spells – Ep. 266

How Witches Create a Powerful Intention for Their Spells – Ep. 266
How Witches Find an Answer Beyond the Human Brain
“I am sick of this self-sabotage crap!” my friend, Lisa, said.
I nodded.
Dealing with my depression symptoms, it often feels like my brain acts like an enemy to my peace and calm.
I have three insights for you.
1, The witch has weekly experiences on a level above the brain.
The brain is of the mundane world. When we do a rite or a spell, the energy goes up to the realm of the Gods.
When was the most recent experience of ritual or meditation that you have had? Did you connect with the Gods? If so, your spirit rose above your brain. On the level of the Gods, true happiness and peace is our experience.
2, The witch notices how the brain causes unhappiness.
Dr. Laurie Santos points out that the brain has certain patterns that cause unhappiness. One is “reference points.” All the time we’re measuring our experience, possessions, attractiveness—all of it—to other people. That naturally brings us down. How can we measure up to people who are manufactured?—Photoshopped. They selectively report on their perfect marriages, kids, houses, cars, glamorous jobs, and more.
Dr. Laurie also points to “hedonic adaptation”—this means that anything fun just loses its shine. We get used to it.
We are drawn to the novelty of a situation or thing. Is it shiny and new?
You may have noticed that some “fair weather” people started as “new witches.” To be a witch requires us to be strong and steadfast. We need to have a form of discipline to do rituals and meditation on a weekly basis.
3. With your relationship with the Gods, there is no mundane comparison.
“Let my worship be within the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess (as written by Doreen Valiente)
Where does that worship happen? Really, it happens on a level above the mundane world. Sure, we do a ritual or meditation—it starts in the mundane world. But during the process, our spirit rises.
We are in the “in-between” when we do ritual. When we meditate, we go to the astral plane.
These experiences are above the brain.
“Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess (as written by Doreen Valiente)
The Gods give us all this and more.
May these insights support your path.

How Witches Avoid the Traps of “Common Thought” – Ep. 265

How Witches Avoid the Traps of “Common Thought” – Ep. 265
How Witches Release Themselves from a Happiness Trap
“No, you don’t understand. I’ll be happy when the book comes out,” my friend, Aurora, said with resolve in her voice.
“Okay,” I replied.
I had seen it before. Aurora said, “I’ll be happy when I graduate. … I’ll be happy when I have this boyfriend … I’ll be happy when I break up with this boyfriend.”
It seemed like Aurora was always looking to the future.
I have three insights for you.
- Now is the important thing.
I find the Happiness Trap is the pattern of saying, “I’ll be happy when…”
Now is the time we do our living. The vague “when” is just some point in the future. And, there is no guarantee that we’ll feel good when some specific event happens.
A friend of mine knows an author who gained a $100,000 advance for writing a book. Sounds good. But when the book was done, the author was feeling something else—because this person was going through recovery from surgery due to cancer.
We don’t know how we’ll feel in the future.
And – we do our living in the present moment.
- Happiness is a Choice
Choosing to be happy may seem strange and counter intuitive. But you can do it.
How? Focus on your blessings.
You can say “I am blessed to have______.”
How does that feel?
Like many people, I have tough situations I endure in life.
However, when I say to myself, “I am blessed to have this place to live in,” I switch my focus.
I can choose to focus on my blessings.
What about you? What are your blessings?
- Ask the God and Goddess to release you from the Happiness Trap.
Here’s a prayer you can use.
Lord and Lady,
Help me shift from “I’ll be happy when—”
I know it’s a trap.
Let me see my blessings.
Nothing can hold me back.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,

How Witches Wake Up Strong – Ep. 264

How Witches Wake Up Strong – Ep. 264
How Witches Avoid Getting Goddess Smacked!
Alisha made so many rules about what other people should do that she doesn’t have any friends.
She was upset that Sarah didn’t call back.
Alisha thought that Mark was “too cheap” when he preferred to get burritos.
She thought that Marcia was arrogant, always talking about “big ideas.”
Alisha was blinded to Goddess’s Law.
“For My law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideals.”
— The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess (as written by Doreen Valiente)
I have three insights for you.
1. Don’t blind yourself to the lesson.
Goddess provides lessons so that you grow.
I have noticed that Goddess keeps bringing the lesson back to you over and over. The experience gets more and more intense — until you feel Goddess-Smacked.
The easy way to blind yourself is to hold onto old ideas. It’s being rigid. It’s not letting in new experiences and possibilities.
Alisha’s old ideas were that everyone must conform to her way of doing things.
On the other hand, I have a particular friend who just does not call back. So I call her when I can. We have a good time when we’re talking together.
2. To get the lesson, listen within.
Some lessons are about finding your own truth. If you devote too much time to worrying about others’ judgments, you can miss out on the beautiful experiences of life.
Listen within.
Are you being invited to let go of old rules?
Goddess invites you to express compassion.
Here’s a classic idea: “You can’t give what you don’t have.”
If you have no compassion for yourself, you likely cannot show compassion to others.
Pause.
Be kind to yourself.
Make space to be kind to others.
3. Don’t resist the Goddess’s Law
We return to Goddess’s Law:
“For My law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideals.”
— The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess (as written by Doreen Valiente)
All beings does not just mean people. We’re talking about animals and even plants. Cutting down rainforests is a bad idea, for example.
And what about “keep pure your highest ideals”?
Perhaps, we can have ideals of…
- Compassion
- Empathy
- Kindness
- Trustworthiness
- Persistence
What ideals mean a lot to you?
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
