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

“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.
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 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?
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

How Witches Let Go of Pushing and Welcome Peace – Ep. 253

“My birthday crashed, burned, and then drowned,” I told my friend, Fred.
I wasn’t done.
“My favorite glass water bottle broke. A family member torpedoed my dinner. And my weigh scale was a bastard!”
Have you recently had a brutal day?
It’s worse on a special day like a birthday or anniversary.
I have three insights for you.
Have you had a perfect day?
A friend responded, “Who has?”
Even milestone days like a wedding have something go wrong.
The bride’s mother threw up.
The ring-bearing little girl took a tumble down the center aisle.
What do we do with this stuff?
We expand our perspective. It’s like looking at the whole horizon.
In Silicon Valley, California, there is a haze of smog.
Still, we see some blue in the sky and the sun is out… on a number of days.
What are the Gods trying to teach you?
An old idea is: “The lesson is repeated until you pay attention. And learn it.”
My first husband was a liar. He used food money on video games – but he had plenty of food because he ate out.
I learned to get strength from Wicca, and I got a divorce.
What lesson can you pull from tough times?
Here is a prayer you can use.
Goddess,
Help me emphasize the good moments of this day.
Help move past the turbulent moments.
Give me insight.
Give me hope.
Give me peace.
I deeply appreciate Your guidance and Love.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Support Their Friendships – Ep. 252
“It’s good news, right?” my friend, Sarah, asked.
I nodded.
“Then, why don’t you look happy?”
“I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop,” I said.
Have you had this experience?
I have three insights for you.
Know when you sow your seeds, you are intending good things to happen. We tend our seeds and watch them grow. Even if what grows isn’t what we expected.
We do have some influence over events. We do not control them. But a number of times, we can put in some positive spellwork, and it does yield something good.
When you look for the harvest, realize that what blossoms may be hard-earned wisdom. So the situation didn’t turn out the way you preferred. But now you’re stronger and wiser.
I’ve thought about this. My tendency to “wait for the other shoe to drop” is a form of protecting myself. If I do not hope too much, I think I will avoid the big pain of disappointment.
A friend of mine, Marina, had a lump in her breast. She was understandably worried. But she tried to postpone worry till she had more information.
Later she found out it was a benign cyst. She was relieved! Here is the bonus. Marina avoided losing too much time sitting in worry. She kept telling herself, “I’ll just wait until the data is in. Until the test results are in.” Marina taught herself that until she heard otherwise, she would stay in the positive.
You can use this prayer.
A Prayer for Self-Compassion
Goddess, support me to direct my thoughts.
I let go of worry about the other shoe may drop.
I stay in the positive unless I hear otherwise.
I know you, Goddess, support me to learn
What is best for me
In the timing that is best for me.
Thank you.
So mote it be.
May these insights support your journey.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“I was so excited. It was like I had found my sister from another mother,” I told my friend, Stephen.
I added, “It wasn’t until years later when my friend, Alicia, said, “When we met, you were needy.” Well, that was news to me.
Still, I have learned that “found family” with great friends is so valuable.
I have three insights for you.
If you are new to Wicca, it can be easy to light up a lot, when you meet your first Wiccan friends. It may be important to slow down and give your new friends some space. You might even use a calendar to space out your phone calls to your new friends.
Have you ever felt really different from your parents or siblings? It is possible that your kin may be close friends. You may have more in common with them.
Another found family is your coven. A coven is a truly tight-knit group of people. They share a comradery that others do not have. They lean on each other and help one another through tough times. Covens are also committed to a common goal—spiritual growth. They work together to achieve that goal.
I have learned to go slow and make space for people to have truly different personality styles.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Make Sure to Do Their Practice – Ep. 250
What is your favorite season?
My favorite season is Fall going into Winter. When I was small, I loved puddles. My parents would say “If there was a puddle anywhere within five miles of us, she would find it!”
I loved the wet season. And my little feet loved splashing around.
I enjoy the cool weather. Fallen leaves create a lovely carpet.
Over the years, I learned that my internal season may not line up with the external season.
Have you found yourself cold inside even on a hot summer day?
Your internal seasons can be completely different from the external seasons. You may know of someone who lost a loved one during the Summer. They experience an inner Winter as the grief settles in their heart.
I have three insights for you.
Have you noticed that the more you resist, the more something persists? If you feel grief, make space for the tears. When we express tears, we can move forward. Even just a bit. It all helps.
My friend, Alicia, noticed that she awakens feeling pain and experiencing a low mood. But when she stays open … she later smiles with joy when talking with someone at work. She gets the spectrum of the human experience during her day.
Seasons ebb and seasons flow within us. The idea of shift is to avoid trying to force something. Taking a ritual bath can help you shift. It will help you cleanse yourself of the old energies. I find that lighting some incense helps me make a shift, too.
Years ago, I heard a friend say that she told her therapist that she didn’t want to cry. She said, “Once I start crying, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop.” Her therapist said, “Imagine there is a reservoir that can catch your tears…”
This helped my friend open up to a new possibility.
Here is a prayer to help you invite the Goddess to support your opening to a new possibility:
Possibilities Prayer
Goddess, open my eyes,
Guide me, let me see,
The horizons of my possibilities.
Open up my windows wide,
So, the opportunities cannot hide.
One and two and three and more,
My blessings pour out on the floor.
Give me strength, for options there be,
In my hands, so mote it be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
