How Witches Deal with Feeling No Hope Ep. 53

My husband looked so anxious. He was helping me finish my new online course. I felt unsettled, too. Why? At any moment, PG&E (in California) could shut down the power in my city.
Sure, they were not going to interrupt service to San Francisco, but the small town I live in was at risk.
The first day, they said that they would shut down power to many locations at 12 midnight. Then 12 noon on the next day, then 8 pm.
I had some thoughts about hope–and about how hope is connected with feeling that you don’t have any control.
Then I realized that the control we have is not over future events.
I had no control related to what the PG&E company might do. They might shut down the power right in the middle of my uploading my material to the online course website. That could wreck my hard drive.
My control was where I direct my focus … in this present moment.
Here is a prayer:
Gracious Goddess
Hear my prayer
Give me hope
And not despair.
Guide me on my true path’s course
Being gentle with no force.
Gracious Goddess
Hear my prayer.
Give me your guidance
With all Your care.
May this enhance your life.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

Has depression stopped you from having the life you really want? What if you could get depression to quiet down and you could start living a better life? Have you tried a lot of things to handle your depression, and you’re ready to try something different? Using the practical and spiritual methods of this course, you will discover how to experience daily moments of peace.
The methods in this course are proven to help people shift out of dark thoughts that can keep them stuck in inertia. The practical and simple ways of developing a spiritual practice can open up a new vista of possibilities for you.
Moonwater SilverClaw has studied with therapists, psychiatrists, and spiritual elders to learn practical methods and spiritual practices so that she could quiet down her own depression symptoms. Moonwater has endured decades in which depression symptoms have been very unfair to her. So, she went on a quest to relieve so much of her own suffering. She was given the intuitive thought: Your fight may be someone’s light. Finally, through this course, she’s able to share practical and spiritual methods that have empowered her to leave an abusive marriage and move on to a life in which she has served college students in a comparative religion course for over 10 years.
Moonwater’s methods have inspired people to express the value they have received.
“Moonwater shares a fresh perspective on spiritual growth.”
– Stephanie J.
“Using Moonwater’s methods, I now feel more in balance, and I experience more times of gratitude.”
– Nancy C.
“Moonwater communicates in a way that’s like sharing a nice cup of coffee with a new friend, while you two are taking a walk in the woods. Moonwater has a lot to teach all of us.”
– Angus McMahan

How Witches Handle Not Accepting Your Body Type Ep. 52

“How is giving insulin injections to your diabetic cat going?” my friend, Sarah, asked.
“I’m so afraid he’s going to become scared of me. He’ll think, ‘She’s the one who keeps jabbing me with that pointed thing.’ And then he’ll run away from me,” I replied.
But then some days later, my cat somehow became accustomed to the situation. I’d give him the injection, and then I’d pet him. And, he would follow me upstairs for more special scratches on his head and behind his ears. Evidently, he would forgive me quickly.
By the way, with the insulin shots, he seemed to have become years younger – full of energy.
My point is: I had been so concerned about giving my cat insulin injections, I built up dread in my own feelings.
I’ve learned that some things do not require struggle.
“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard …” – President John F. Kennedy
Have you noticed that some of us think that something is good and virtuous because it’s hard to do?
On the other hand, when you become used to it, having a meditation practice (of just 5 minutes a day) can become kind of easy.
And even giving insulin injections to my cat became kind of easy.
Here’s a prayer:
Goddess,
Free me from overvaluing struggle
Let the ease of life be revealed to me.
Like a new dawn’s brilliant light.
Like eagles gliding on wind.
I ask my heart You mend.
So Mote It Be.
May this process bless your life.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Handle Someone Who Judges You and You’re Innocent Ep. 51

“It’s so unfair,” my friend, Marla, said.
“What is?” I asked, gently.
“My mother. Now that she’s older, she’s so bitter. And she’s blaming me for how the party turned out. You know it wasn’t my fault.”
“I do know that the vendor did something shady,” I said.
“Yeah. Tell that to my mother. No, forget that. She wouldn’t listen,” Marla said.
This is a real situation to bring to the Gods. When you know you’re innocent, but someone is harshly judging you–and they’re a family member, it’s really awful.
If you lose your calm, you’ll only make it worse. First, we need to realize that often, you can’t change the other person.
So, you need to “contain the damage.”
Don’t let that person run your life—when you’re not in their presence. It just wastes your time.
How can you feel better? Bring it to the Gods. Here is a prayer.
Prayer to the Gods
Lord and Lady see my true innocence.
Quiet my feelings of sorrow and anger
Towards those who have judged me.
Let me still have my voice and my mind clear.
Let me feel my True Self is always here.
See me through this dark time.
Let no tongues wag untruths about me.
Let the darkness of my mind flee.
Give me strength and set me free.
So Mote It Be.
May this prayer sustain you.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater

How Witches Remove the Blocks to Doing Meditation Ep. 50

Recently, a friend, Sam, told me about how a mutual friend’s birthday—Mark’s birthday—popped in Sam’s gmail. It was a reminder issued by Google calendar.
The tough part is that Mark has been dead for over six years.
This reminded me of a passage Doreen Valiente wrote:
To think that we will wait another life
To drink the wine from the horns and leap the fire.
Farewell from this world, but not from the Circle.
That place that is between the worlds
Shall hold return in due time. Nothing is lost.
– Excerpt from Elegy for a Dead Witch by Doreen Valiente
The good news is that this reminded me of our True Self.
The True Self is the divinity that the Gods placed in you.
It’s that part of you that cannot be broken.
The True Self is that part of you that reincarnates over and over again.
The important point is that we need to connect with our True Self and get past the distractions of everyday life.
Here is a prayer:
Gods,
Remove blinders so my True Self I see
Let distractions like shackles fall from me.
Let shadows back away
Shine Your rays on my day.
So Mote It Be.
May this bless your Path.
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
