A Day Of Balance To Honor The Light and Darkness

A Day Of Balance To Honor The Light and Darkness

Merry Ostara and Mabon

Despite the snow outside our window here in the eastern U.S., this weeks sees the return of astronomical spring. Down south however, our friends in the Southern Hemisphere are welcoming the end of Summer and beginning of Fall.

From everyone here at
Springwolf Reflections and Spring’s Haven

We extend our most joyous wishes
and happiest blessings

to you and yours for a
wonderful and bright
Holiday Celebration!

Are you new to Equinox celebrations?
An equinox occurs twice a year (around 20 March and 22 September), when the plane of Earth’s equator passes the center of the Sun. At this time the tilt of the Earth’s axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun. The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name “equinox” is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, night and day are about equal length. ~ Wikipedia.com – Equinox. Continue reading

Celebrations of the Green Isle

Blessings Of The GreenA Day To Be Proud Of The Green

It’s St. Paddy’s Day here in the U.S. which is much more of a celebration of the Irish and the Green Isle than it is a day to honor a Catholic Saint. And that’s probably a good thing for Celtic Pagans. It allows us to connect with our heritage, honor the old country, the mystical ways of the past through song and celebration. Raise a glass or two of Irish Whiskey or Green Beer and in general have a good time.

But Pagan’s have good reason for not celebrating “St. Patrick’s Day” itself. I wrote about that last year, so feel free to run on over there and check out Why Pagan’s Don’t Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day.

For me today is an Irish Pride Day. A time to bring a bit of the mysticism and folklore of the old days back into thoughts and imaginations of the here and now. Who doesn’t need a little distraction from the stress and grind of the modern world?

So to honor this day of pride and connection, I offer this simple tale of magik and adventure. And I wish you all a very Magikal and Mystical Day of the Green as well.

Spring on Enlightening Radio

Springwolf's AppearancesA Little Reminder

From time to time I make appearances for lectures, workshops, book signings and interviews. We share the dates, locations and information about these events on the Appearance page here on Springwolf Reflections.

Enlightening Radio posted my latest interview today, available now as a PodCast.

March 15th, 2014 PodCast Released –
Enlightening Radio – Pagan Metaphysics with Springwolf:

You might know some of the Pagan traditions such as Wicca, but there’s so much more to the story and many more traditions than you might expect. We’re walking down the path of not only how Paganism came to be but also investigating the belief systems within these traditions today on Enlightening Radio with Spring’s help.

paganmetaphysicsSpring also helps us to investigate the relationship of Paganism to metaphysics and further, to New Age philosophies. And we’re also covering the essential connections from this belief system to energetic structures, to the natural world, to the relationship with the divine and much more. So much information to cover in an hour but you’ll have a much greater understanding not only of Paganism but how these traditions originally formed and their impact on our world today. Check it out, today or any day on the CoSozo Radio Network.

Enlightening Radio is a spiritually centered talk show that airs on CoSozo Radio Network. The show discusses a variety of topics dealing with spirituality, consciousness, spiritual realms, spiritual beings and much more. With an aim to further our own understanding, we know we won’t always have all the questions, but we are unafraid of having the discussions! Tune in each week as we discuss spirituality, consciousness, religion, and even the paranormal! There are no topics we won’t tackle as we embark on another enlightening conversation!

Happy March

The Month For Faeries

Just a little reminder that March is the month for Magik and Faery Blessings.

Pixie, leprechaun, faerie, brownie, sprite are all terms for these supernatural beings, thought to be helpful or harmful to people.   Faerie is the most general name for such beings: a good faerie is often referred to as a godmother (faerie godmother); but they may also cause misadventures for humans.

Stories and legends of wee magikal folk can be found all around the world. One reason they have so many names and varying characteristics. Some are larger than others, some are more magikal, or come at certain times of the year. Continue reading

What’s Your Wolf Name

A Moment Of Fun

It’s been a stressful day! This evening I decided to let off some built up energy with a little creativity. I saw a post on FB for finding your Wolf name and thought hmm..I don’t like the words they creator used for such a name. They were fearful, vicious and all the things western cultures have stereotyped wolves to be.

Wolves are regal, mystical and mysterious. They’re spiritual guides, teachers and show us the way into ourselves. Yeah they can often times be a bit randy. That’s because they know how to have a little fun and balance out the seriousness of life. So I decided to create my own Name Game to honor my namesake. This is my version of “What’s Your Wolf Name”. I hope you like it.
