My friend, Anna, moved in with her boyfriend. For the first weeks, she felt lost in the neighborhood. Nothing seemed friendly or familiar. Then she found a used bookstore. She was home!

Life keeps hitting us with things that we must adapt to or simply endure.
Here are three insights.

1. You need time.

You need to hold space and time for your intuition. You can meditate and ask the Gods for Their guidance. The Gods are there for you. They can speak to you through your intuition.

If you are in an intense situation, help yourself by taking three deep breaths. Slowly in then out. This will give you time to pause. Then you can respond.  In this way, you can adapt on the fly to the situation.

2. You need answers to fuel good decisions.

Guidance, whether from friends, family, or the Gods, is crucial. To adapt, see if you can develop a form of road map of answers.

You can meditate and hear answers from your true self that is connected with the Gods.

You can also use divinatory tools for help. Consider simple questions like:

• What do I do next?
• What does the road ahead look like if I do ____?
• How can I best resolve the situation?
• What is a good action for the good of myself and all involved?

For more about divinatory tools, click here.

3. Ask the Goddess for clarity.

Besides calling on the God and Goddess through meditation, you can use prayer.

Consider this prayer (or something like it):

Prayer

Lady of Moonlight.
Hear my prayer this night.
Help me adapt to all the barriers and troubles on my path.
Strengthen me and develop my skills to keep me bright.
Help me make decisions, for my good and the good of all involved.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

The lizard stood on the path in front of our door. My husband paused. Intrigued. He turned to announce the lizard’s presence to me. My husband glanced back. The lizard was gone.

There one moment. Gone the next.

What is gone from your life?

Are you embracing your life or are you missing it?

I have three insights for you.

1. Focus and unlock the magick within.

“Magic is natural. It is a harmonious movement of energies to create needed change. If you wish to practice magic, all thoughts of it being paranormal or supernatural must be forgotten.” – Scott Cunningham

Magick, just like the lizard, can be fleeting. We cast our spells and hold them in our minds and then we let them fly. Gone from our grasp, to do their work.

Magick is also all around us. It is everywhere.

To use magick, you begin by raising energy. Some ways to raise energy include breath-control, singing, or dancing. Your body both serves as a conduit of energy, and it also produces energy.

Part of the process is to use your focus and will to send the energy where you want it to go.

Each witch is on a journey of discovering the self. You learn to unlock the gifts within you. The Gods support you along the way.

2. See magick in everyday life.

“In truly understanding the Goddess and God, one comes to understand life, for the two are inextricably entwined. Live your earthly life fully, but try to see the spiritual aspects of your activities as well. Remember—the physical and spiritual are but reflections of each other.” – Scott Cunningham

We are of the Gods. The Gods manifest as the natural world. Everything around us is sacred. From trees to bees, we are truly one.

Imagine seeing as the Goddess sees. View what you do as sacred. Having your morning coffee is sacred. A romantic night is sacred. 

I have noticed that I can adjust my focus. I can stand in line at the grocery store and turn my perception to one of gratitude. I have the abundance to get what I need.

How can you adjust your focus and find the sacred in everyday life?

3. Invite the Gods to deepen your everyday experience of life and magick.

“That perhaps is at the core of Wicca—it is a joyous union with nature. The earth is a manifestation of divine energy. Wicca’s temples are flower-splashed meadows, forests, beaches, and deserts.” – Scott Cunningham

In our mundane lives, we see the sacred. To help you see these moments you can say a prayer like this one.

A Prayer:

Gracious Goddess and Honorable Lord,
Let me see my magick in things both large and little.
May I be one with You and the Universe.
Help me cherish the world around me and the world within me.
That I do not miss the fleeting moments and people in my life.
Bless me on my path.
So Mote It Be.

“Prayer—a common tool in many religions—is simply a form of concentration and communication with deity.” – Scott Cunningham

 May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“My favorite time of year is winter,” I said to my friend, Alicia.

“It’s because I like hearing the rain,” I added.

Nature’s timing can teach us a lot.

1. Observe when you’re trying to rush things in an artificial way.

Sometimes relationships start off in an awkward way. Why? People have different styles of timing. One person might feel comfortable with the other faster. They may push. They may overshare and cause an embarrassing situation.

You might say that the flowers bloom with great timing. It happens when it is supposed to.

Observe if you’re too anxious and if you’re pushing.

Breathe deeply. Slow down. And find that you think more clearly.

2. Observe good timing to let troublesome thoughts flow by.

I was walking with my husband. I could see that he was troubled. Probably something at work. I then saw him take a deep breath and look around. He paid attention to the blue sky, the birds flying about, and the trees along the path that we walked. He had let the troublesome thoughts of his job flow by. His good timing was to be in the moment with me and nature.

3. Ask the Gods to support your developing good timing.

Here is a prayer:

Dear Lady of the Moon and Lord of the Hunt,
Guide me in timing
Help me in shining
With my natural joy and goodness
Help me discover
The love that runs through the universe.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Have you noticed how cycles happen in your life? Recently, I thought about my college years. I had three cycles going, and I did not realize this at the time. One was my college experience. The second was my first marriage. The third was—and is—a friendship with someone I consider to be my “sister from another mister.”

Cycles can yield a harvest.

(I guess the harvest of my first marriage was pain and wisdom. Enough about that!)

I have three insights for you.

1. We don’t control when the harvest happens.

The Wheel of the Year includes cycles. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. Then the cycle repeats. Predictable.

Not so with human lives. Many times, we can’t predict when the harvest will happen.

Perhaps, a new job in the fall. Or a baby is born in the Summer.

Seeds are planted. But when will be the harvest? Will the job continue? Will there be a layoff?

We may influence when these things might happen, but we cannot predict when things will unfold.

Perhaps, a job ends. But a friend from years ago brings you a new opportunity. And, a new cycle begins.

Our process is to keep planting seeds. 

2. We need to tend the farm and show up every morning.

Even though we plant seeds, we don’t have a guarantee that things will blossom fast.

But you can show up every morning and tend to your fields.

Tend to your fields, or some opportunities may die.

You need to nurture your soil.

I know someone who makes wire jewelry. If she took a break of a year or two, she would lose her dexterity with this art form. She needs to “tend to her field” or practice her art.

3. We need to nurture our own health to keep going.

“Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

Seeds are not the only things that need to be tended. We need to tend to ourselves, too.

Some seeds can take years to grow into something that can be harvested. I know writers who have written a number of books. They get better month after month. Richard Carlson, the late author of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, told my husband that the “Don’t Sweat” book was his 10th book.

We need to take care and nurture our own health. Why? Because if we get sick or injured, we lose the chance to enjoy our harvest.

As I get older, I see some people become feeble.

On the other hand, I know someone in his 60s who lifts weights every other day. He seeks to stay strong for as long as possible.

How about you? What would be a great harvest for you?
How are you keeping yourself healthy and strong?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“You’re lucky. I don’t tell you all the negative thoughts that come into my mind,” I said to my husband.

“Thank you. Please tell me what you need to. Otherwise, it sounds like you’re making good decisions,” he replied.

I understand that he is there for me when I need to talk about heavy subjects. Still, he is guarding both of us from ruminating and unnecessary suffering.

By avoiding constant “spills of negativity” on him, I am guarding both of us from unnecessary suffering.

I have three insights for you.

1. Identify the “Garbage-Thoughts.”

“Don’t believe everything you think” is an old bumper sticker slogan.

When I saw that, I thought, “That makes sense. I have so many Garbage Thoughts that invade my sanity.”

So how can you tell what is a Garbage Thought?

Does the thought empower you or strengthen you? Or does it tear you down?

A Garbage-Thought will devalue you as a human being.

Here are some Garbage-Thoughts:

• Why are you so stupid?
• What the hell is the matter with you?
• You always get it wrong.
• You can’t do anything right.

That is enough of that! You can see how terrible these thoughts are.

I realize that staying with Garbage-Thoughts can bring on depression symptoms. It has happened to me.

So, I move to the next step…

2. Choose what you focus on.

Once you decipher that something is a Garbage-Thought, pause.

Choose to focus on something else.

Let that Garbage-Thought flow past. Like a leaf on the wind.

My friend, Sarah, starts to feel anxious on Sundays because … Monday and work are coming.

She tells herself, “Slow down.”

That is how she shifts to enjoying whatever she is doing in the moment (on Sunday).

So, this is about:

• Pause
• Shift
• Make space for something positive.

Sarah tells herself, “I’m here now. I’ll watch a comedy video with my boyfriend.”

3. Invite the Gods to cull out the Garbage-Thoughts

Asking the God and Goddess for help is not weakness. It takes great strength to ask for help whether from the Gods or even from people.

Here is a prayer you can use:

Lord of the Forests and Lady of the Moon,
Guide my thoughts to positive ones real soon.
Keep me in Your light of positivity,
Strengthen my feelings and sensitivity.
Take your blade of truth and cut away
Those pesky Garbage-Thoughts today.
My mind now made pure and whole,
Positive feelings and thoughts fill my soul.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
