“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.

1. Release yourself from the “perfect day.”

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.

2. When things go wrong, ask the Gods: “What’s the lesson in this?”

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?

3. Call out to the Goddess.

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

“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.

1. When you sow, look for the harvest.

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.

2. Until you hear otherwise, stay in the positive.

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.

3. Pray to the Goddess for Self-Compassion.

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.

1. Don’t overshare too soon.

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.

2. Not all kin are of blood.

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.

3. The coven is your home away from home.

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

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.

1. Flow with the internal season you have.

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.

2. Prepare to shift from internal season to internal season.

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.

3. Invite Goddess to Open Your Possibilities.

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

Something was wrong. Years ago, I had just moved into a new home. I didn’t feel comfortable. The place was alien to me. One night, I was in a dead sleep, and I just knew it. I needed to wake myself up. I needed to come back to consciousness. To be able to protect myself.

How about you?

Do you have a sense that you’re sleepwalking through life?

I have three insights for you.

1. Acknowledge where in your life you are “asleep.”

For years, I was asleep to what was possible for me. From 18 years old until 25 years old, I was with a boyfriend and then-husband who was a boy—not a trustworthy man. He used the money I earned and blew it on video games. He did not buy needed food for us.

I put up with this crap—for years! I did not believe I deserved better. I didn’t believe anyone (someone healthy) would love me.

Then, Wicca empowered me to kick his ass out of my life. Divorce can be valuable!

A bit more than a year later, I met my second husband. Life is great (more than 20 years and continuing).

Where do you allow limiting beliefs to hold you back?

Wait a minute. Is there something that you have been ignoring? Your health. Your significant relationships?

Wake up. Now.

2. Say out loud “I’m upside down and this is what I’m going to do.”

In my book, Beyond the Law of Attraction to Real Magick, I wrote about how “Act, Believe, Receive” is missing something important … Action!

I am fortunate. In my circle, I have spiritual elders and friends who listen to me tell the truth about my life.

I identify what I need to do and where I need to grow.

Do you have people who truly support you?
Do you have a vision for a positive future for yourself?

3. Pray to the Gods to help you awaken.

So much happens to drain our energy. Go to the Gods, They are delighted to lift you up with hope and energy.

Here is a prayer you can use.

The Awakening Prayer

As I wander in the deep
Gods give me strength to take a leap.
Out of my bonds and out of the fire,
Wake me up and take me higher.
Take me to the noonday sun,
Where I can be and have some fun.
My future is now free of the dour,
Thank you, Gods, I am now empowered.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
