Don’t Forget TONIGHT On The Ænigma Project – “Soul-Mates”

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST

The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

Join creator Paul Cagle with co-hosts Sushi and Springwolf for our discussion this week:

Soul-Mates.
What are they. How do we make relationship agreements in spirit. Are they karmic in nature? Or is it something bigger?

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. Or you can check out the many ways you can listen on the go, at home, at work or in your car. Simply go to the app that allows you to stream the show and search for Tenacity Radio, then save it as a favorite.

We always have a lot of fun! And we’d love to have you with us.

If you miss the show, you can listen on the Tenacity Radio Archives for the The Ænigma Project (2012-05-14- Soul-Mates), or the The Ænigma Project blog and iTunes.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Cups

May14

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

A simple hug can go a long way to showing someone you care about their struggles. Whither its emotional conflict, or stress and anxiety from work or daily life, we all could use a little hug now and then. Just remember, when you give a hug, you’re getting a hug too. It’s going to be ok. Share the positive and watch how it spreads through the day.

Additional Insight:

Remember there’s always someone who has it worse than you do. Be it more stress and anxiety, or more struggle in their relationships or home life. Be thankful for the blessings you have in your life. At least your cups are facing in the right direction to receive more bounty. So share some of that positive energy with those around you. That hug maybe just what they needed to get through this day and carry them into tomorrow where their own blessings will be turned around.

Sunday’s Homily: Happy Mothers Day

May13

Or “Hail To The Domestic Goddess!”

Once a year here in the west we honor our Mothers and celebrate the sacrifices they have made for us. Many say this is a modern holiday designed by greeting card, flower and chocolate manufacturing companies for the purpose of greed and commerce. I say so what; does that mean we shouldn’t honor the Domestic Goddess in our own homes?

Pagan Metaphysics has long been associated with Goddess ‘worship’ mainly because early pagans celebrated the feminine in matriarchal societies. Figurines such as the ‘Venus of Willendor’ are a perfect example of the early reverence for fertility of a woman and her ability to give new life. This miracle of life was seen just as that, a miracle given to a woman by a deity, or a Goddess specifically. If a woman was extremely fertile she was considered to be favored by the Goddess of the people and her position was elevated within her tribal structure. Often being designated as the priestess or high chieftain of that tribal society.

When the priestess grew older and less fertile, she often chose her successor. But her singular power shifted to that of a wise woman who was always consulted when it came to decisions. Her power never fell out of favor and her contribution was never dismissed. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Swords – Inverted

May10

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Every rose has its thorns. Every choice, good, bad or indifferent has its consequences. Before you start making decisions, make sure you’re seriously thinking things through. Understand all the potential outcomes and decide what might need to be altered or adjusted to keep your plans moving in the right direction and for the best result.

Additional Insight:

Even the blessings and welcomed opportunities in life have their drawbacks. Life is filled with give and take, making sacrifices and dealing with the consequences of your actions and choices. Even the good things that land on your path will have issues that you really need to think through before you jump on the bandwagon.

Make sure you read the fine print. Understand everything that goes along with the decisions you make today. There maybe a few things you don’t want to give up, or will have to contend with in order to achieve what you want. Are you truly ready for them and willing to accept what you may have to give up?

Changes on The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST on the Tenacity Radio Network
May 9, 2012 – Spring’s Haven News Release

This is an update from the May 8th post here on Springwolf Reflections

Some of you may know that I’ve filled in a couple of times on The Ænigma Project. The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

After the show on Monday May 6th, creator and host Paul Cagle offered a permanent place at round table to Spring and she accepted enthusiastically! “I’m terribly excited to open this new chapter in my life and look forward to the future topics and interesting guests Paul finds to sit at the table with Sushi and myself” she said.

This morning The Ænigma Project announced “Due to personal issues in her life, as well as an overburdened schedule, S.E. has decided to leave the Ænigma Project. This is an amicable situation and we wish her the best!” Paul Cagle said, adding “We are thankful to have Springwolf join us in this insanity”. Growing Pains: TÆP announcement.

“Everyone is going to miss S.E.Burns and her wonderful insights. Especially me. But we all wish her well and hope she’ll be able to come back to the table soon.” Spring responded after the announcement. “She means a lot to me and I know this isn’t the last we’ll hear from S.E.”

You can still find S.E. on her show “Got Style?” also on Tenacity Radio.

We hope everyone will tune in every Monday at 9PM EST to listen to our discussion. You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. Or you can check out the may ways you can listen in your car, at work, at home or on the go. We always have a lot of fun!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Queen of Pentacles – Inverted

May9

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t throw out the sour grapes, recycle them. Use your energy to motivate you instead of letting it drag you down. Anger and frustration can be powerful tools to get you out of your rut and reinvigorate your desire to improve your work, personal life or both. So stop the blasted pouting, get up and get going now! You can do this!!

Additional Insight:

These events are all trying to teach you something. How you handle failure is equally important as how you handle success. Stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself like you’re the only one struggling and fighting against the system. There is always someone who has it a lot worse than you do.

Instead of getting down and depressed, allow yourself to be human and feel your emotions. Anger and frustration are not bad things when controlled and used properly. So get angry and use that energy to motivate you into standing up for yourself. Fight for your path and where you want it to go. Learn from your mistakes, learn the lessons of hardship and decide what you need change in order to adjust your efforts and move them forward. Improvise, adapt and overcome should be your motto for the rest of this month!

Align your energies with the Divine force in your life. Stop saying you don’t have time or you can’t meditate. Stop making excuses for the things you can do, but aren’t doing and WORK for what you want! No one is going to hand it to you on a silver platter. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Taking A Permanent Seat At The Ænigma Project Table!

May8

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST on the Tenacity Radio Network

Some of you may know that I’ve filled in a couple of times on The Ænigma Project. Last night after the show, host Paul Cagle offered a permanent place at round table and I enthusiastically! I’m terribly excited to open this new chapter in my life and look forward to the future topics and interesting guests Paul finds to sit at the table with Sushi, S.E. Burns and myself.

My first “official” show will be May 14th when we discuss Soul Mates. I hope everyone will tune in every Monday at 9PM EST to listen to our discussion.

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. We always have a lot of fun!

Paganism vs Satanism – Learning About Tolerance

May8

Tolerance And Unconditional Love

I have always contended that the more we learn about each other, the more we build tolerance and peace within the world. I was invited to a round table discussion on The Ænigma Project to discuss Satanism. When I shared that appearance with friends and colleagues they were turned off. A few immediately said “Why are you talking about such a dark subject?” or “I avoid that scary stuff”. This from people who claim that their purpose in life is to practice and teach “unconditional love”. Well I don’t believe in unconditional love, but interestingly enough I seem to be the one practicing it, along with the other members of the show’s panel and those who did tuned in.

I can appreciate the “ickiness” perspective from the general public. But from colleagues, I must say I was highly disappointed. Being open minded and practicing what you preach is a necessity to any spiritual leader, teacher or minister/priest/priestess. If you can’t walk your talk, who are you serving? Continue reading →
