Know yourself

• How can we know ourselves?
• Ask ourselves questions.
• What kind of person am I?
• What does Wicca mean to me?
• How can I improve myself?

Know your craft

• How can we know our craft?
• What does the craft mean to you?
• How can we learn more?

Learn

• Isn’t that what we are doing?
• Is there a point when we are done learning?
• We should continue to learn throughout our days.

Apply knowledge with wisdom

• Apply our daily learning into our lives.
• Use our wisdom to help integrate new ideas and lessons
• When learning something new, don’t change everything simply to incorporate it

Achieve balance

• How can we achieve balance?
• Meditate
• Don’t over specialize
• Be aware of all aspects
• If you work with Fire, be sure to do some work with the other elements as well
• Remember to honor the God as well as the Goddess

Keep your words in good order

• The way we say things can alter their meaning, keep that in mind
• When wording spells, we should keep in mind what we want the spell to do and the best way to convey that.
• When speaking to others about your beliefs and the craft, be sure your words truly express what you want them to

Keep your thoughts in good order

• This is extremely helpful with #6. If your thoughts are in good order, then your words will be too.
• Assess yourself and your thoughts often.
• Keeping a journal can help and be sure to review it from time to time

Celebrate life

• Remember that life is a gift, not just human life, but all life.
• Set aside time to enjoy the flowers, trees, and plants
• Smile and hum a little tune because every day is worthy of celebration

Attune with the cycles of the Earth

• Harmonize yourself with the rhythm of life
• Celebrate the Sabbats
• Honor life in the spring and death in the fall

Breathe and eat correctly

• By breathing properly we attune ourselves with the natural rhythms of life
• Focusing on our breathing can help us to relax and focus our thoughts
• When we eat properly we have the energy we need to accomplish our daily tasks
• If we allow ourselves to eat only junk food then our bodies will be unhealthy and thus unable to provide the proper energy we need for our craft

Exercise the body

• Working our muscles creates energy that we need
• You don’t have to dedicate yourself to becoming an athlete, just remember that we benefit from some form of exercise on a regular basis

Meditate

• It is vital to all goals already mentioned that we meditate
• With meditation we can attune with ourselves, nature, the Goddess and the God
• When we meditate we focus our thoughts and our feelings allowing us to better know ourselves and our craft
• Meditation helps us understand what we don’t understand and learn from our experiences

Honor the Goddess and the God

• Do our actions reflect the Goddess and God in our lives?
• Admire the Moon and respect the Sun
• Open your heart to the lessons they have for us and remember to reflect often because we don’t always recognize or appreciate the lessons at the time
• Thank the Goddess and the God for all they have provided us on a regular basis

Try to keep these things in your thoughts. Reflect daily, or at least often, on them.

Are we living up to these goals?

What areas do we need to work on?

 Pat yourself on the back for meeting goals.

We are a work in progress and as we learn and grow, our thoughts and ideas will change.

As long as we keep in mind what our goals are, we will be headed in the right direction.

I look forward to reading your thoughts on each of these Goals of a Witch.

Bright Blessings
