Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sometimes it’s ok to look back and see how far you’ve come. Be proud of your accomplishments and let them overshadow your failures. You’ve worked hard, done much, made changes and improved your spirit far beyond what you’re allowing yourself to see.

Additional Insight:

Looking back isn’t a bad thing if you use it as a gauge for where you are today. You have worked hard and put a lot of energy into recreating you and your life. Take a moment to see what you’ve accomplished and how far you come.

Don’t dwell on the mistakes or the things that didn’t go right. Instead learn from those things and allow them to teach you for the future. Dwelling on the past puts thorns under your feet and blocks the way forward. Or worse sets an anchor that holds you back from your path.

You deserve to be proud of where you are and how far you’ve come. You deserve to feel good about where you are today compared to the past. And you deserve the happiness and the success you’ve been striving for.

So don’t let the nay-sayers or the unhappy people from the past try to keep you where they are. It’s not your place to grovel with them so they feel better about where they are. They’re afraid of letting you go, because it means they have to look in the mirror and see how far they are from making changes in their own life.

Allow yourself to be happy and stop judging your path by someone else’s standards. You know how much work you’ve done. You know how much you’ve changed. You know how hard it has been and the amount of energy it took to do it. Live by your own standards and be proud of where you are and how much you’ve accomplished.

You can order a personal reading from Spring through the Services at Spring’s Haven. We offer both in-house and email/phone/skype consultations. As a Ministerial organization, all our consultations are private and strictly confidential.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool

Sep13

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t go bowling with your insight and hope you hit the right pins. Pay attention to your concentration and focus. Don’t take your own intuition for granted, it’s trying to tell you something important. It might be exactly what you need to avoid being the fool, today and through the weekend.

Additional Insight:

Having good intuition is something every living animal needs and possesses. When you treat it like a parlor trick to impress others or in attempts to gain control over others, it can easily backfire on you over time.

If you dismiss it and ignore what your gut is trying to highlight, you could make choices that adversely impact your day, weekend, year and maybe even your entire life.

Our instincts are both our first line of defense and helps us to play offense and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. Only a fool would ignore the gut feelings they have, especially when they know deep down something isn’t right or is about to happen, good, bad or indifferent.

It seems we’re often open to the negative and feel that instinct the strongest. But if you pay attention to your gut feelings about people you meet, situations you find yourself in or events that are building up around you, you can discern the best course of action for yourself. No matter what your gut feeling says to you, listen to it, mark it in your mind and hold it until something proves it wrong, or confirms your feeling. Perhaps you’ll be able to put yourself in the right place at the right time and achieve the success you’ve been working so hard to achieve.

It’s Friday The 13th & It Was A Good Day

Sep13

I’d Like To Say – Thanks For The Visit

I logged onto my blog this morning to a nice and interesting notice. Well at least it was interesting to me. There’s been “A Spike in your stats”.

I’m honored and thrilled that so many folks around the world have come to visit Springwolf Reflections to learn about The History of Friday The 13th – A Good Day For Pagans.

I must admit I had to ask the math genius in my house to explain the numbers. I’m a visionary, not a calculus expert! He works with calculations all day, every day so he understood this right away. Continue reading →

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Make sure you’re moving forward in balance. Don’t ignore the part of you that gives you motivation. But make sure you temper that side in order to remain and focused. The balance of emotions will take you forward in your search to succeed.

Additional Insight:

Too much of anything can be bad for you. Being angry and allowing gut emotions to rule can cause you to miss important details or overreact without considering the consequences and outcome.

Being to passive can allow others to take advantage of you without proper recourse which can undermine your goals.

It’s ok to get angry as long as you temper your emotions. Focus on what’s important and keep an eye on the bigger picture. It’s ok to remain at peace as long as you make sure others are not using that against you in competition to succeed.

Stand up for yourself with clarity and calm. You have a right to fight for yourself and what is rightfully yours in business as well as in personal situations. But remember what is yours is not the ownership over someone else, their emotions or what they choose to do. Govern you own house with clarity and balance. If you loose the fight, it wasn’t meant to be yours in the first place.

Remembering Today

Sep11

Patriotic Wolf – Artist Unknown

September 11, 2001
Never Forget the Innocent, Never Forget the Brave, Never Forget Those We Lost

Today is the 12th Anniversary of 9/11. Twelve years ago today I was at work in Reston Virginia. Our building was on a single road business complex on the edge of town. Behind our building sat large homes with rolling hills, horse fields and lush yards. It was a beautiful and peaceful view. At the end of the road deeper into the complex we knew were government agency buildings.

Being a small office complex, people got to know each other during morning runs, lunch time walks, or the bi-weekly soccer games that seemed to gather in the large empty lot across the street from our building. We knew who the government people were, generally what they did and which agency they worked for. My company held two office buildings in the park and throughout my career I worked in both buildings.

In the late ’90s the agency building across the street from us had a bomb scare. It was in the dead of winter and exceedingly cold outside. My boss and I came off the elevator from a meeting upstairs and noticed all these people standing outside freezing to death. Continue reading →

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

No matter how upside down things maybe, it’s never a wrong time to offer compassion and caring. Even those who don’t agree can find common ground to stand on in the name of peace and kindness. Don’t allow the words or actions of others, destroy or impact your ability to work toward a common resolution that benefits everyone.

Additional Insight:

It takes all kinds of personalities to get the job done. Some people are good at visualizing the possibilities, others are good at working out the details and some are best at implementing the plan. Share what you’re best at and allow others to implement their skill set in the best way that fits their talents.

Remember there are many ways to do the same thing. Your way isn’t the only way. Confusion and conflict arise when teams don’t communicate their intent or plan and others are left to decipher their intentions on their own.

Don’t expect others to know what you’re going to do, or what you are doing by osmosis. To them, you could be walking away to do nothing. To you, the plan might be in the works and all set to go.

Allow your ego to express trust and compassion to share your vision and express your plan. Of all days, this is the day for open communication and sharing. Don’t put it off, don’t assume you’ll take care of it tomorrow. Share your perspective and you might find the conflict that was brewing can be resolved with ease through understanding.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Wands – Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Showing compassion, concern and regret after the fact doesn’t alleviate the harm that was done. No matter where the directions come from, you are still the one responsible and in control of your actions. It’s better to deal with the consequences of saying “No” than it is being culpable in the offense from the start.

Additional Insight:

We’ve all done things we regret and many do their best to make up for it after the harm has occurred. Better to try to make amends for your part in the action, than to do nothing at all.

But the real issue is that the offense happened in the first place. Either from knee jerk reactions, built up anger, or more likely some form of fear. “What happens to me if I don’t do it?” is a poor excuse for going along with something you know to be wrong.

Paying the price up front by saying “No” or standing up to bullies who try to manipulate others for their own selfish means gains you much more than you will lose by going along with the harm.

Wounds will heal, but the scars they leave behind within the emotions and memories of those injured never go away. No matter how long they’ve been there, how much they’ve faded, the memory still exists. And from that moment on, the person who was wounded will always have a built-in reaction to anything similar to the harm you caused.

Don’t be the one who goes along with the crowd. Be the one who stands up for what’s right and says “No” in the face of harm. Allow yourself to be rewarded for being strong and brave in the face of hate, violence and anger. It might be the harder road at times, but in the end it’s the brighter path to tread.

Take time each day to align your thoughts and heart with the Divine presence in your life. When things occur you’ll be able to see the motives from a higher perspective. You’ll be able to tap into the strength that gives you the courage to say “No, that’s enough” or “I’m not going to let that happen”. Gain the positive karma that will carry you to the higher road of life and bless the path you walk with integrity, dignity and respect.

Do Something & Share Your View

Sep9

Complaining on FB and Social Media Doesn’t Get It Done

Whatever your position is on Syria, make your voice count instead of merely talking about it on social media. You can share stories, post tweets, rant and rave on message boards. But those communications do nothing to express your view to your Congressional Representatives or the White House. Get involved and do something about how you feel so that it makes a difference.

You can make your view count by contacting your representatives in Congress. If you don’t know how to do that, you can email them through their contact forms.

To email the President you’ll need to fill out the White House Contact Form.

To find your Congressional representatives, go to their websites at:
Find your Senator at senate.gov,
Find Your Congress-member at house.gov

Both congressional sites allow you to find your representative through a search in the top right hand corner of the page of each site.

I’m against military action and I urge others to support diplomatic efforts be exhausted before any violent action take place. If you need an example of what to send, try this:

To The Honorable (enter their name here)

As a constituent, I am writing to let you know that I oppose any military action in Syria.

I realize in today’s world violence against citizens by its government must be addressed. But the moral response is not to meet violence with more violence. Creative diplomacy is the best way to respond to the alleged use of chemical weapons. I urge you to work for a ceasefire, to pressure Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, and Turkey, to halt the flow of weapons, and to pressure Russia and Iran to do the same.

Sincerely,
You name

I hope you’ll take time to get involved and make your voice heard.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Eight of Cups –

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

If you ride on the coat tails of others; make sure you know where they’re dragging you to. It’s your reputation that’s on the line and others are not going to care how you got there. It might harder to walk your own path, but at least you’ll control where you’re going, and how you got there.

Additional Insight:

Those you follow may seem like they’re walking the higher ground. They talk the talk and preach the good fight. But actions speak louder than words and you may not be privy to what’s going on behind closed doors, hushed tones or through code and sign language.

It’s never a good idea to put someone up on a pedestal and assume they live their life in the perfection they preach to others. Everyone is human and we all have our faults. Even the best of us sneak an extra cookie now and then. It’s ok to give someone your respect when they’ve earned it. But make sure they’ve earned it for the right reasons. The last thing you want to have happen is watch your heroes fall and take you with them when they do.

The solution is to remember we all have strengths and weaknesses. Admire the strengths and try to learn from them by implementing what you like onto your own path. Don’t do something because someone tells you to, no matter what the promise or threat. If you don’t think it’s a good idea, if you feel in your gut that it’s something you shouldn’t do, then you shouldn’t do it. Because you’ll be the one held responsible for it.

Put yourself on the pedestal for others to look up to. Hold admiration and respect for yourself first. It will help you through the hard times, support you through the issues and help you to innovate, adapt and overcome. You deserve that kind of respect. If you give it to yourself first, then you’ll always walk the path of good intentions and protect your reputation throughout your life.
