How Witches Shift to Happy Moments – Ep. 139
“I don’t feel strong enough to keep going with this job,” my friend, Fred, said.
Many of us truly desire to feel stronger and to have the will to make necessary changes in our lives.
I have three insights for you.
Witches practice concentrating on an object in their mind.
Here is an example of the process.
You can start with an apple. Hold it close to your nose and breathe in its fragrance.
Place the apple in front of you. Focus on the apple.
Then close your eyes.
Use your mind’s eye to recall the apple and its characteristics—the aroma, the shape and the patterns of the colors.
This can serve as a powerful beginning for using your imagination in your spellwork.
In a post some time ago, I wrote: “… if you are doing a complex ritual and you need your willpower and energy at a higher point, you may decide to do the ritual early in the day. The reason is: Research shows that the more decisions you make, the more you deplete your willpower. Willpower acts like water in a reservoir. We make decisions, and the reservoir is depleted. Then we rest, sleep, and find more water in the reservoir on the next day.”
Witches devote their awareness and efforts to support their willpower.
“For my Law is Love unto all Beings.” – Doreen Valiente, writing in the voice of the Goddess, in The Charge of The Goddess
Love is the true source of a witch’s natural power. Love is the essence of the Goddess.
When you align your will with Love, you tap into the natural energies of the Goddess.
You feel Her compassion, Her kindness, and Her support for you and your path.
May these insights support your path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Become Resilient – Ep. 137
“Are you okay, Moonwater?” my friend, Sandra, asked me.
“There are great things. And other things, I’m coping with,” I said, truthfully.
My mother’s health collapsed. I’ve been at her side around the clock—in the emergency room, then in the hospital room and now at the apartment. We’re getting some help with a nurse sometimes visiting the home.
The pressure is so intense.
I realized that I need to lean on two ideas.
“Focus on ‘Better than zero.’” – Tom Marcoux
I’m being buried in thoughts that I’m not doing enough for my mother. I feel that I’m not the ideal daughter. Then I take a breath and think about the idea, “Better than zero.” For me, I’m doing my best. I’m helping with her meds and helping her walk with a walker. When I feel like I should be doing more than what I can handle, I remember “Better than Zero.”
How can you fit the idea of Better than zero in your life?
“I have been with thee from the beginning.” – the Goddess, as noted in the writings of Doreen Valiente
The Goddess is always with us. Even with me at this time of distress. So, I can draw strength from Her. And I do.
Just asking the Goddess to guide me and support me makes me feel better. She gives me more energy when I feel I have given it all.
I just concentrate on the Goddess and say a silent prayer to Her. Usually, I feel a gentle energy around me. I can draw energy, compassion, and love from Her. Then I can continue my work to help my Mom.
How will you call upon the Goddess’s support?
May these ideas support your journey.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Cope When Under Siege – 136
When I was a young child, I had a supportive special education teacher named Mrs. Ireland. Suffering with my dyslexic difficulties, I felt that Mrs. Ireland’s kindness was like an island in a sea of my self-doubt and low self-esteem.
Mrs. Ireland even complimented me, in front of my parents, about an art project I did. This was like a strange, foreign experience to me. A delightful, uplifting experience. For once, I felt smart.
Many of us witches feel isolated in a world that often bashes us and our spiritual path.
The problem I see is that, as children, we are conditioned to rely on external reference points to feel that we are “okay.” Parents, guardians, teachers, and employers wield power. If you fulfill their requirements, you are okay. You have value. But if you don’t, you may feel you are bad and have no value as an individual.
We must find our intrinsic value. To me, that journey is the center of witchcraft.
“I coined the word ‘overculture’ to mean the larger society which often attempts to tell girls, women and elders what we ought, should and must be, do, act, react — but, and, as you know, often the deeper wild nature says otherwise — for the wild instinctual nature is wise and wild both, with innate gifts and creative callings — all following the naturally insightful voice of the true self, rather than the often ‘one-inch deep overculture’s voice’ that values uniformity and only pre-authorized dancing.” – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
We must cherish that deeper wild nature in ourselves. Often, we can’t find personal value on the outside. So, we must go deeper and investigate our heart and soul to see the value we naturally possess.
Sometimes, we may struggle with feeling our inner value because of depression or some other disability. This is where the Gods, ancestors and your guides come in.
In my experience the Gods see us as love and light. I like the phrase “The Gods don’t make junk.”
I keep writing about this, but I need to hear it. And maybe others do, too.
The place I hear the God and Goddess most strongly is during meditation. There I can be myself and relax. And I find my “Hidden Treasure.”
I invite you to start or continue a daily meditation practice. Do simple rituals. Connect with the God and Goddess. Find your calm inside—the Hidden Treasure—where the God and Goddess dwell within you.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
