How Witches Find Their Direction—Ep 226

“I can’t see auras. I’m just bad at this,” my friend, Lynn, said.
It also bothered her that she wasn’t manifesting prosperity.
Here are three insights:
When I started out, I looked at other practitioners and thought “I can’t be like them. They have real skills.”
I did not realize that each practitioner is on their own path.
My path would be different. Even today, I still have whispers of those doubts.
Comparison does not help me. It drains me of vital energy.
Realize that comparison is a trap. You can only shine in your individual way.
How do you release yourself from the comparison trap?
Instead of comparing yourself to others, compare your current progress with where you were before.
It helps to keep an accurate Book of Shadows (BOS). That’s how you see what works and what needs improvement. As you try new rituals and spells, you can log your progress. You will have evidence and not vague speculation.
You may need support to release yourself from thoughts that keep you stuck in comparison. Such thoughts feed your doubts and deny your unique power. Your power can help you manifest healing, prosperity, and your best life.
For healing, you can ask the Gods to help you live your gift of uniqueness. You can do this in ritual, meditation, and prayer.
Prayer of Healing from Comparison
Lord and Lady,
Help me see my potential.
Guide me on my unique path.
Help me break the chains of comparison.
May I heal and transform.
Let me bask in my unique qualities as a witch.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“That’s a red-tailed hawk,” I said to my sweetheart. He saw the bird soaring.
“That’s a good sign,” I said.
I thought about this.
“Goddess’s gift” in a particular moment might be a good sign.
Her gift could be feeling able to eat solid food after a physical illness.
At one time, a friend said to me, “Take the win, Moonwater.”
She pointed out that my depression symptoms can function like a filter that blocks me from enjoying a little “gift” … a good moment during the day.
I decided to expand my spiritual practice to receive whatever gift the Goddess provides.
Here are three insights.
To receive the Goddess’s gift, you need to pause and pay attention to what is going on around you. The Goddess speaks in many ways. You may receive signs or an intuitive feeling.
Signs are everywhere. To truly see them you must stop and take a breath.
See beyond your usual perceptions. Listen to your heart. What does it tell you? Is the Goddess whispering to you? Listen close.
If your senses and perception only experience darkness, ask the God and Goddess for a new perception.
It is time to look at things from another angle?
Ask yourself, “Is it possible?”
If you welcome the experience of a new perception, you may discover an answer that you missed.
Recently, I learned about “Take 5” which is a process to pause and breathe deeply five times.
That is one action that can help you prepare to receive Goddess’s gift.
Prayer, meditation, and ritual also prepare you to graciously receive Goddess’s gift.
A Prayer
Great Goddess, let me be open to receiving your gifts.
Open my heart, mind, and soul to Your creative intuition.
Let me absorb your gifts for me, so that I may grow.
So mote it be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Reduce the Impact of Pain—Ep. 224
“Why does this always happen to me?”
Have you asked yourself this question?
You could use an empowering question: “How does Goddess view this situation?”
Empowered witches know that positive thinking patterns can help them. They can fulfill their destiny blessed by the Gods.
Here are three insights.
If you have something you want to do, set up a plan. Make the decision once.
For example, I have a morning prayer. I made the decision to do it every morning. I avoid needing the energy to make a choice every morning. I am not choosing whether to do my prayer or not. It is automatic for me to say my prayer every day.
2. Make it a routine.
Your one decision is about setting up a routine. Just like you brush your teeth. You have a routine. You wake up, and you brush your teeth. Just before you go to bed, you brush your teeth.
It also helps to attach your new routine to something you already do.
For example, every day I sit down at my laptop computer. That’s where I do my morning prayer.
3. Choose a second thought.
Many times, our first thought is a negative one that was programmed during childhood. Some people say, “I am not good enough.”
Instead, you can practice prayers, so you have a second thought that empowers you.
Here is a prayer.
Goddess, you know all the good that I am and all the good that I can express.
Help me shift into my best self.
So mote it be.
The above prayer is a positive second thought.
The below prayer is about asking for a positive second thought.
Lord and Lady,
Inspire me to get a second thought.
Help me act with wisdom.
To solve my woe.
So mote it be.
May these insights help you on your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Keep Their Witch’s Vision—Ep. 223

“What was the turning point?” my friend, Bea, asked.
“When I began, I went to a Barnes and Noble bookstore. Fortunately, I talked with someone who turned out to be a Wiccan person. She placed a stack of Wicca-related books in my hands.” I smiled at the memory. “It was when I had the courage to be myself. To follow the Wiccan path.”
My family would never understand if I told them of my Wiccan path.
So, it remained my secret.
Here are three insights.
“Measure by your heart, not by others’ approval,” Tom Marcoux, the author, wrote.
I followed my heart and the Gods, into a new reality. My family’s disapproval (if they ever knew) would not hold me back. They had dragged me to church. But they would not shackle my heart.
On the Wiccan path, I was happier than I had ever been before. I let go of ever seeking my family’s or society’s approval.
What about you? What does your heart tell you?
Wicca and witchcraft created fullness where only raw emptiness reigned before.
The scorn of certain rigid and bigoted people is from fear.
Instead, the love of the God and Goddess is fullness.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
Here is a prayer to support your path.
A Prayer:
My Lady of the Moon and Lord of the Sun,
Illuminate the path of courage for me.
Show me love and compassion where fear once resided
Let my courage fill the space where once a plea for approval took hold.
Let the fullness of Your Love guide me and protect me.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Uncover Their Elusive Happiness—Ep. 222
“That ended,” my friend Kendra said, looking down at the floor.
“What happened?” I asked.
“My friendship with Fiona ended,” she said.
She sounded so disillusioned and hurt.
Kendra and I had a long discussion about how Fiona had cut off their friendship because Fiona has major prejudices against witches.
We often turn to friends or family for support.
Where does a witch go when there is no ready support?
Here are three insights.
The idea of being disillusioned sounds bad. And often it hurts. When Kendra lost Fiona’s friendship, Kendra was distraught. So many years and good times were gone.
Have you had this experience?
Human beings are limited, to a great extent. We hope that a friend or family member will be someone we can go to when we’re in trouble or we’re hurting bad. But often, the other person is caught up in their own turmoil. They can’t see our pain because their vision is clouded by their own pain.
They are stuck. It’s as if they have a personal mountain range surrounding them. They see nothing else. They are limited.
Who is limitless? The God and Goddess are. They are all-encompassing. They have all of time and space to give you the attention you need. For They are truly limitless. But how can you get in touch with Them? Now, you can meditate, conduct rituals, or pray.
What is the ultimate reality? The Love of the God and Goddess is limitless. Humans, not so much. Humans are in their own worlds many times. As we notice, many individuals are limited to their own viewpoints and prejudices.
So where do witches go when there’s nowhere to go? They go within. They go to the inner space. Some people call it “Going to the Silence.”
You can do this through meditation. It is listening to your inner voice and the Gods.
Prayer is another way to turn to the God and Goddess.
A Prayer:
Lady of the Moon, Lord of the Sun,
Support me to feel your Love.
Give me compassion for myself and others.
Lead me to my strength, clarity, health, and wisdom.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your journey.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
