“What do you think when you make a mistake?” a friend asked me.

“F__ing stupid!” I replied.

I had a conversation with spiritual elders. I’ve learned that certain thoughts and questions form a filter that is our interface with the world.

Wiccans can choose to elevate their experience of the world.

Here are three insights.

1. Your filter of the world is made of your questions.

Here’s one of my disempowering questions: “Why am I so stupid?” (This damn question comes from my depression symptoms.)

I’m learning to replace that with: “How can I do better?”

Many individuals ask, “Why does this always happen to me?” This question serves as a filter. It points to something bad as the only thing that is going on.

Instead, I have a friend who says, “I’m breathing. I’m smiling. I’m good.” He does not set tough criteria that have to be filled for him to feel good in the present moment.

His filter of the world is one of kindness and gratitude.

2. Imagine Goddess’s vision.

“Ye shall be free from slavery…I am the Gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy unto the heart…I give peace and freedom…” The Goddess in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente

With Her vision, what would the Goddess ask about your life?

Here are some possibilities:

• Would you ease up on judging yourself harshly?
• Do you realize my Love for you?
• How are you going to bring My peace and freedom to this day?

3. Use a prayer to shift into your gratitude.

Here is a prayer:

Lord and Lady,
Lend me Your ear.
Give me Your strength
To help me see my worth.
Give me the gift of self-love.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Are you comparing yourself to someone else now? Who is not comparing?!

But have you talked yourself out of trying something because you thought you couldn’t measure up?

We, witches, need to connect with some better and beyond fear and one’s ego.

I have three insights for you.

1. Identify if this comparison is worth making.

My site is usually rated as #22 on https://blog.feedspot.com/witchcraft_blogs/.

At first, I felt good. Then I looked at the other blogs closer to #1. “Why can’t I do better like those blogs?” I thought.

Does this comparison matter?

Let me turn that around.

I have a unique voice. I offer value to my readers.

The comparison is not worth making.

Instead, I can concentrate on offering value to readers including you.

2. Measure the meaning on the spiritual level.

“Never wrestle a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.” – an old phrase attributed to many possible authors

Have you noticed that many people are “upside down” or angry before they walk into your area/office/workplace?

If someone is irritable and rude toward you, what does that mean?

What if you feel justifiably upset about what that rude person said? Now, what does that mean?

We, witches, can choose our own meaning.

We can look at the spiritual level. You hold your own calm. Let that person move on. You avoid descending to their egocentric level.

You can say to yourself, “Goddess, give me strength and kindness here. Keep me strong.”

3. Invite the Gods to remove distractions from your spiritual reality.

Distractions, including our own expectations, can put a barrier between us and experiencing our spiritual, best self.

Instead, focus on a prayer. Perhaps, something like this…

Great Lord and Gracious Lady,
May I honor my unique voice.
May I honor the gifts You have given me.
May I fulfill my positive potential and express myself using these gifts.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Over a span of five years, a great friend of mine, who is like my sister, and I would attend the Renaissance Faire in Northern California. We would immerse ourselves with the costumes, food, games, jousting, and actors. Each year we would fill up with glorious energy. This would be like oxygen and would fuel the flames of our creativity.

The Element of Fire is related to energy, passion, and daring. 

I have three insights for you.

1. Identify what is your oxygen that feeds your fire.

Two forms of “oxygen” for me are snuggling with my cat and talking on the phone with good friends. I also have game nights with certain friends, too.  These are kindling to my fire.

What is in your life that builds up your energy? Make sure you devote time to what fuels your fire.

2. Identify those people who extinguish your fire.

Who tears apart your hopes and dreams? Are they family members? Do you have a longtime friend who is really a toxic person in your life? It may be time to release them. Notice which people drain you. Once you have identified them, let them go. At least minimize your time with them.

It’s crucial you do this so you can accomplish your dreams and protect yourself.

3. Invite the Gods to help you ignite and restore your fire.

Bring in the Gods to help you build your fire.

Here is a prayer so you can invite the Gods to help you.

Blessed Lord and Gracious Lady,
Help me identify those who extinguish my fire.
Guide me in protecting myself from their terrible influence.
Help me feed the glorious flame of creativity You placed within me.
So Mote to be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“I used to be so excited about the project. But now I’m just so tired. I’m afraid that having talent is not enough,” my friend, Jackson, said.

To give him some support I created the Elevate the Artist Ritual.

Elevate the Artist Ritual

Do this ritual on a waxing or full moon.

What you will need:

• One Green 7-knobbed candle
• Candle holder
• Lighter
• Candle snuffer
• Sachet of basil
• Clean towel
• Sea Salt
• Olive oil
• Frankincense (Incense)
• Incense burner

First, take a regular bath.

Empty the tub and rinse it out for the next bath. The ritual bath is not supposed to clean the physical dirt off your body. It is to cleanse you of negative energy you may have on your person.

Then place into the water of the ritual bath your sachet and three tablespoons of the sea salt. Relax in the bath and let go of all your stress. Make sure you wash your whole body (including your head) with the water. Breathe in deeply and let go with each exhale.

Get out of the bath and dry yourself with the clean towel.

Go to the room where you will be doing the Elevate the Artist Ritual.

Light the incense and waft the smoke over you.

Also, waft the incense smoke around your container of oil and the 7-knobbed candle.

Sit and meditate about what you want to happen. Really concentrate. See yourself with the success you desire in your heart. As you do this you will now “dress the candle” which simply means rubbing oil on it. Pour some oil into your palm. This is important: Rub from wick to base. Rub oil on the entire candle in this manner.

Place the candle in its holder and continue to meditate on your desire.

Now with your desire firmly in your mind, light the candle and chant the below prayer three times as the candle burns.

Let the candle burn until the first knob is gone. Then use a candle snuffer to extinguish the candle.

Over the next consecutive six days, you will repeat the burning and chanting for each knob of the candle. You will also continue to visualize your goal. This process will take a total of seven days.

The Chant/Prayer

Blessed Lord and Gracious Lady,
Help me remove the blocks in myself to joyful and healthy success.
Bless me to create great relationships in the ______________ industry.
Thank you for the gifts you have given me.
I do my best to create a great contribution to the people of the world.
So mote it be.

May you be supported by this process.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“Be like water,” I said.
“Really? You’re quoting Bruce Lee?” my friend, Jessica, asked.

In our conversation, we noted how water flows and transforms.

I have three insights for you.

1. Learn to Say No.

Do you have a friend who is so kind and says yes to every request? My friend, Liz, is like that. And she’s tired all the time.

I later realized an important point: When you say no, you open multiple doors to other opportunities.

When I think of water, I realize that one can guide it. How? Build a dam. Guide how the water moves. Put up a flood barrier and say, “We’ll keep the water out of this area.”

Keeping the water out is “saying no.” We do this in our daily life.

Perhaps, you decided to stay in, during high school, and study for a test.

You said no and opened up a chance to excel on the test.

We, witches, can decide to do a weekly ritual and let go of watching some TV.

Saying no to one thing means saying yes to something more important.

2. Learn to dissolve resistance.

Water is the universal solvent. Like water, meditation can help us dissolve resistance and stress.

During meditation, you can reach out to the Gods for guidance. We can use meditation to empower us to work out problems with the Gods’ help.

Are you resisting some new change in your life?

Consider meditation as something that opens your doorway to new possibilities.

     3. Transform

If heat is applied to water, it doesn’t resist. It transforms into steam. If water gets cold, it doesn’t resist. It transforms into ice.

Are you resisting change? How is that working or not working?

I’ve learned that life is about change and growth.

We, witches, appreciate the natural flow of nature, cycles, and seasons.

What season are you in now? Is it a time of seeding, cultivating, enduring, or harvesting?

Do you long to speed up the process?

Be like water and transform when appropriate.

Life is all about transforming into something new. Even as we get older, we are transforming into what we will become—and what we need to become.

This is the reason that we study and honor the cycles of nature. The cycles of life, death, and rebirth.

Each day gives us the chance to awaken, flow like water, and experience rebirth into our transformed self.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
