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.

05/20 Our Topic: The Dancing Plague
The outbreak began in July 1518, when Frau Troffea, began to dance fervently in a street in Strasbourg for 4 to 6 days. Within a week, 34 others had joined in the dance and all appeared to be in a trance as they moved about. Within a month, there were about 400 additional dancers. Some of these people eventually died from heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion. A plethora of documentation marks the event, from physicians, clergy, local periodicals, even the town council rang in on the event. But what caused this unusual plague? It wasn’t the only one in history, so could it happen again?

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

5 of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t let the stress, strife and struggle break you apart. Everyone is doing everything they can to deal with the current situation. It’s not their fault, it’s not your fault so don’t keep trying to place blame where it doesn’t belong.


Additional Insight:

You’re not the only one struggling and worrying about the situation at hand. Stop acting like you are. We all handle stress and anxiety in different ways. How you handle things are especially different between a man and a woman. We don’t look at the same things in the same way, so we don’t worry in the same way either.

Simply because you can’t understand their approach to the situation doesn’t mean they’re not concerned and filled with anxiety too. The enemy isn’t the person you’re looking at, it’s the person you see in your own reflection. Focus on what you can do to relieve the stress within. Maybe it’s meditation, maybe it’s cleaning or mowing the yard. Maybe it’s pounding the street or researching solutions. What ever it is, it’s better to turn you anger into action and do something with it.

Sometimes anger can be a good thing. Constructive anger can motivate you, it can empower your energy to pull yourself out of the hole you’re in. Use it for your benefit, instead of simply letting it out in one big outburst toward those around you who don’t deserve it in the first place.

Our Deepest Sympathies For Dick Trickle

Our Deepest Sympathies & Prayers

Our Deepest Sympathies & Prayers

A NASCAR Legend Dies

If you’ve been around my blog or Facebook page you know my family and I are big fans of racing. Especially Nascar racing.

Nascar fans are a unique group of people. We’re not at all like the stereotypes the media in all it’s forms tries to paint us as. Our range of fans spans way beyond the boundaries of North America as a whole. It touches every part of the world and if some of these critics would go to a race and meet the people, they would learn that.

We’re not all uneducated southern rednecks either. You’ll find people from all walks of life at a race rooting for their favorite driver. Doctors, professors, lawyers, computer professionals, construction engineers and everything in between.

We’re a family; sometimes a dysfunctional family, but still a family. We may not like the same drivers, we may diss on your favorite driver. But at the end of a race, you won’t find any of us beating up or shooting another fan because they happen to like the driver who crashed our guy out of the race.  We come together like no other sport does when tragedy strikes in our midst. It’s a phenomenon that has been discussed and written about by sports reporters for decades. Continue reading

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

5 of Pentacles - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t spend your purse until you’re sure it’s full. The promise of finance is only that; a promise. Patience is hard right now because of the long dry spell. But you must wait until the promise has been fulfilled before you start spending your new found wealth! You might find yourself in a deeper hole that you didn’t count on.


Additional Insight:

Receiving news might brighten your day, but don’t let it turn out to be news of disaster because it’s not what you thought. Today and over the weekend, hold tight and wait to see if what’s promised is really what comes your way.

It’s understandable to want to celebrate because the end of struggles maybe over. But there’s more going on here than meets the eye. So be happy and hopeful, but don’t go shopping yet.

You’re better off remaining calm, doing some research and making plans with the new income that will carry you through the years to come. Being frugal isn’t your style, and that in part is what may have gotten you into the financial mess to begin with. If you are frugal and feel you’re where you are at no fault of your own; you know how not to count on others for your security.

Dreaming is ok. Dreams keep hope alive and help us to strive for a better future. But be cautious. What was here today, can be gone tomorrow without any plan or failover to fall back on.

The Cycle of Life And Death

© 2012 Springwolf Wolf Ghost

From Spirit to Incarnation

Preordained vs Free Will and Choice

Today I read a lovely article by a colleague which talks about life and death and the importance of living life.

“Responsive Reading – Living and Dying:
Every person has an appointed time to live and a time to die. Our time upon the earth is but a moment in the span of eternity. Death is not to be regarded with fear but as something good when it comes in due season.”
by Robert Dorris President/Minister at Unitarian Community, Inc.

I like this perspective. And while I agree that everything happens in it’s time and space, I’ve always had a hard time with the “preordained” concept. And it can be hard to reconcile those two ideas. I believe in reincarnation. And that concept doesn’t fit with the preordained perspective. But I also believe everything in it’s right time and space. So how do you fit those two things together?

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Cups

Nine of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

A hug can go along way to helping you get through the challenges. It takes two of you to put up a good fight. Together you will triumph against your adversaries and find happiness. But it takes both sides to balance the work and help each other out.


Additional Insight:

The key to any successful partnership is respect. You can’t simply say the words, you must show it with actions. For action speaks louder than words.

There can’t be an approach to “that’s his job” or “she’ll do that later”. If you see something that needs to be done, do it. Balance the responsibilities means helping each other when and where you can. It means doing little things to help ease the stress of your partner, even if it’s for a day.

Only when you join forces and face the daily challenges head on as a team, will you be able to make things work. This is true of personal relationships, close friendships, business partnerships and even community groups.

Don’t be afraid to help out. If you feel you need permission, then ask. The worst someone can say is no. At least you made the effort to help. What better way to show an act of respect?

We’re Having Technical Issues

Don’t worry, if you’re looking for Springwolf Reflections, you really are at the right place. It seems something happened overnight and our theme header has reverted back to the original default. We’re not exactly sure what happened, but we’ve reported the issue to WordPress (who is our blog host) and we hope to have it resolved soon enough.

We really like our site’s header so we hope it’s fixed soon!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Death

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You’re not dead yet so stop acting like you are. You have much left to do to complete your mission. Some of that involves learning lessons and paying karma. But it also involves redeeming what is owed to you. If you stop living now, you’ll never know what could have been. So don’t give up yet!


Additional Insight:

The end of this chapter of suffering is at hand, but don’t let it kill you as it wanes and comes to a close. It’s ok to learn the lessons of trust, self-sacrifice, understanding what’s really important in life and what the real blessings are. But it’s not ok to allow the jaded perspective to change who you are and who you’ve worked so hard to become. Doing so allows your adversaries to win the battle and the war. And frankly they don’t deserve that kind of victory over you!

You have gained a great deal of knowledge and wisdom that will carry your forward into success. And you will be able to take advantage of that success unlike others who have had it handed to them. Working for it gives you the chance to appreciate the effort, the accomplishment and the achievements much more. Be thankful for those blessings. Don’t throw them away.

Being tired and dealing with the physical pain and effects of stress can indeed drain you. But it can’t drain the spirit unless you allow it to. Remember the only constant is life, is change. You can fight it, you can struggle against it, or you can go with the flow, taking time to see the beauty it has to offer.

Remember this years motto! And take time each day, either first thing in the morning, or last thing each night to practice The 5 Minute Alignment Meditation and become one with your spiritual consciousness and the Divine force in your life.

Thor’s Hammer Approved At The VA

Patriotic Wolf - Artist Unknown

Patriotic Wolf – Artist Unknown

Our Hearts Honor Our Fallen Brethren

On May 10th, 2013 we shared news about the Veteran’s Administration’s approval of Thor’s Hammer (the symbolic Mjölnir) for our heathen brothers and sisters. The official Veterans Affairs “Available Emblems of Belief for Placement on Government Headstones and Markers” list was updated on May 2nd, 2013 and included at least two new emblems; Emblem #55 Thor’s Hammer and Emblem #56 Unification Church.

The update was made with little to no fan-fair from the VA or news agencies in general. But to the pagan and heathen communities, this was BIG NEWS!

Everyone here at Springwolf Reflections and Spring’s Haven extend our thoughts, prayers and blessings to the family of the fallen soldier that initiated this fight. We are honored by their strength to take on this battle for all heathens and pagans alike.

We extend our thanks to all service men and women, and their families for the sacrifices they make for our freedom every day. And especially to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those rights all Americans enjoy.

After many inquiries for more information, Guardian of The Northern Winds Hearth, AOR released the following statement. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Tower

The Tower

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be the calm that rises out of the chaos. Others are allowing their fear to put them into panic mode. They’re not thinking clearly and not looking at the long term effects of the situation. You can be the glue that holds things together by using your fear to feed your strength and not your emotions. Even in darkness there is light and growth. Don’t let the anger, fear and trepidation rule your path.


Additional Insight:

Fear is not an “uncontrollable characteristic”. You can manage it and direct it to help provide strength in times of chaos. It can carry you through great trials and tragic events like no other feeling can. But it can also get in the way if you allow it to feed your emotions instead.

The Brave are not the people without fear, for fear can keep you safe in times of struggle. The Brave and the Heroes are the ones who manage their fear and face the danger for the sake of others, KNOWING the danger is real. Using fear to feed your strength allows you to see beyond the norm. It can expand your view and see what others don’t see. It can help you think through the problems and devise creative solutions to overcome the problems at hand.

You have already over come so much chaos and tragedy. You have struggled and endured. You have survived and you’re still fighting the good fight. You are not the loser or victim that others want to make you out to be. Don’t allow them to paint your shield of fear with the sign of a victim. That shield can be a weapon that out smarts their battle plans! Today is the day you stand up and take the battle head on. You may not win the war ..yet.. but you will win the day!
