How Witches Deal with Self-Hate Verses Self-Love – Ep. 257

How Witches Face the Unknown
Do you feel stuck in life?
That was me. Years ago, in a loveless marriage. But I didn’t move. My depression symptoms had me convinced that nothing would be better. Just one day after another of repeating pain.
Month after month went by.
I didn’t push. I didn’t ask for better.
What could happen? That was the unknown.
Do you relate to being afraid to step into a new chapter of life?
What is waiting in the unknown?
Imagine … your destiny awaits.
Here are three insights:
- Is the pain enough to push me to the unknown?
Many people wait until finally the pain is so unbearable that there is no other choice. But…to…move.
- Is the benefit enough to pull me into the unknown?
My depression symptoms masked what possible benefits could await me in a new chapter of life. Free of the shackles of a loveless marriage.
Is there something good that’s possible if you step forward into a new chapter of life?
- Have I asked for support?
Did you ask the Gods for support? If not, this is a good time to do so. The God and Goddess can hold your hand as you boldly go into the unknown. The unknown is scary. The unknown has no form. It is uncertain … and possibly painful.
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” – Frederick Douglass
“There’s got to be something better than this” – many people who take a step forward
Here’s a prayer:
Lady of the Moon, Lord of the Forest,
Open my perception to the benefits to be enjoyed
When I step forward into the unknown.
It’s worth it.
Support me, guide me, protect me.
So mote it be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Ask the Right Questions to the Tarot – Ep. 256

How Witches Ask the Right Questions to the Tarot – Ep. 256
How Witches Get Stronger Than Life’s Tough Moments
The car in front of me screeched to a stop. I hit the brakes just in time. That was it. A hundred cars all stopped cold. The winding road toward the California beach was packed.
No car moved. We remained miles away from the beach.
One friend was distraught. “Oh. I’m so sorry that we had to go this day.”
My husband looked relaxed.
“I’m good. It’s all part of the adventure,” he said.
I have three insights for you.
- Much of your experience is determined by your “filter.”
What filter do you have?
I have my depression filter. My depression symptoms swirl about and tell me I’m worth nothing. If I just let my filter run the show, I wouldn’t get anything done.
It’s like the old story of the pelican asking two fish near the surface: “How’s the water?”
The fish reply, “What’s water?”
Like the fish, you might not be aware of your filter. Your filter likely impacts you with automatic thoughts. Thoughts like: “This is terrible. I’m no good at this. This is not fair. I hate this. Why are there so many morons and idiots?” (That last one is a good question.)
Filters can color everything we do and say.
So, if the filter is “water” – what can we do?
We can listen.
Listen well. Consider lessons that show up again and again.
Listen to what trustworthy people say.
Watch what bothers you about other people – that may be something in you reflected outward.
And, remember to pray and connect with the God and Goddess for Their support and guidance.
- Flow with the seasons and cycles.
Witches observe nature, seasons, and cycles.
We know you can yell and stamp your foot – but that won’t make Spring arrive a day sooner … when you’re stuck in Winter. Or when you’re stuck with 100 cars on a winding road to the beach.
Many times, the adventures of our lives have various textures. Good moments, bad moments. Scary moments. Moments of peace and gratitude.
Adventures have seasons. A good season. A dry season. A flood season.
Whatever the season, you can take in a breath and say. “Okay. It’s all part of the adventure.”
- Invite the Goddess to clear your filter.
Here is a ritual that may help you clear your filter.
Perform this ritual on a waning moon.
You will need:
- One blue chime candle
- Boline to inscribe sigil on candle
- Banishing incense
- Banishing oil or olive oil
Start by dressing your candle.
(To dress the candle means The process of putting your desire into the candle. As you clearly envision your wish, rub anointing oil (olive oil will suffice) on the candle. Spread the oil from the top of the candle to the center, and then from the bottom back to the center. Rubbing from each end of the candle to the center draws or attracts a desire to you. If you wish to repel something, for example, an illness or bad luck, you would rub from the center out to each end of the candle. This pushes away what you wish to repel.)
For the second part, you state the purpose of using the candle. Here is an example:
“Clear my filter and open my eyes.”
Inscribe a sigil on your candle with your boline.
Here is the sigil you will use:
Light your incense. Then say these words as you light your candle.
Goddess of the night,
Uncover the filter I have about myself
Clear the illusions from my eyes.
Let me see the filter within me.
Guide me.
Release me.
Have my perception expand beyond the filter.
Elevate my actions.
For my good and all involved.
So mote it be.
Let the candle burn all the way down until it is extinguished.
This ritual releases you from the shackles of a filter. When you have freedom, you have the possibility to respond instead of reacting to tough moments. When you respond, you avoid making things worse. From the place of inner peace, you can do better than before.
May these insights support your journey.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Survive “What the Hell?!”
Yesterday, I turned just the wrong way and wrenched my back. What the hell?!
Can you relate to this? Does life seem to keep throwing surprise trouble at you?
I have three insights for you.
- Acknowledge and do not suppress.
Do you have friends who pretend that they don’t have any troubles? Do you believe them?
Have you noticed that trying to suppress your feelings does not help?
If you drive the thoughts out of your conscious mind, they go underground.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” – Carl Jung
One way to notice what bothers you on the unconscious level is to note what irritates you in other people.
So let’s look at side-stepping the act of suppression.
Instead, acknowledge it.
Here’s an example: “Oww. My back hurts. What can I do to ease the pain?”
You can also include praying, meditating for the answer, or doing a ritual to clear your path.
But what if the issue is more severe?
- Observe if the trouble is a curse or a step.
A step can help you rise to another level in your spiritual path of learning and growing.
On the other hand, a curse is something else. It can be rare.
Here are some ways to detect if something is a curse.
- Are your house plants dying for no reason? — even though you are caring for them properly.
- Is the current problem another one in a sequence of events?
- Are other people around you also suffering? — such as illness or some misfortune.
These are just some of the signs that you may have been cursed. I have a simple ritual that can help (Click here.)
- Talk to the God and Goddess.
Sometimes it’s a really good idea just to pause and ask the God and Goddess, “What’s this about? What am I supposed to learn here?”
Many times, you face a lesson in disguise. Talk to the Gods through prayer or meditation. Click here for the Meet the God and Goddess Meditation.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Create Who They Want to Become. – Ep 254

How Witches Create Who They Want to Become. – Ep 254
How Witches Use Their Key to Their Dreams
“I don’t understand. I finally have a good conversation with my father. But this morning, I woke up from a nightmare that included him being mean,” my friend, Fred. said. “What the hell does this mean?”
“It means you want to know what the key to your dreams is,” I replied.
I have three insights for you.
- You are the key to your dreams.
Imagine you had a dream in which there were a bunch of rats. Terrifying, right?
Not to me. I’ve had about 20 domesticated pet rats that have brightened my life. This relates to the key to your dreams. You are the key to your dreams. A lot of us would like to hear definitive answers as to what certain symbols might mean in our dreams. I’ve learned that each individual has an individual meaning for what arises in their dream.
What is most important to you?
What bothers you?
What has you baffled right now?
Certain researchers and authors suggest that your subconscious mind gives you messages in your dreams. Perhaps.
And, perhaps, there’s more to it than that.
- The God and Goddess reach out to you in your dreams.
The God and Goddess can show up in your dreams. They can leave symbols and messages in them. It can be truly hard to decipher the real meaning of the Gods’ appearances or the messages that They have provided you. Witches often rely on divination tools so that they can explore possible meanings. It’s easy to be impatient when we try to decipher our dreams and meanings. Witches discover that certain themes come up over a lifetime as they walk their spiritual path.
What themes? Forgiveness. Be strong. Celebrate your individuality. Show compassion to yourself and others.
Do any of these themes speak to you?
- Pray for clarity before you sleep.
Just before you complete your day and go to sleep, you can say this prayer.
My Lady of the Silver Moon
Grant me the insight to understand
My dreams and their symbols.
May my understanding lead to joy and peace.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
