Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Cups

5 of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Hold onto what you have and stop crying over things you have not lost. Worry is feeding the fear you hold within and giving energy to the outcome you are trying to overcome. The more you allow that fear to take hold, the better chance you have of seeing it manifest. Focus on the blessings you have right in front of you. Along with the blessings of success you already have surrounding you. All is not lost! You have much to be grateful for.


Additional Insight:

Yes you have lost a great deal, but much of that depletion was nothing more than material things. And some were items that you’ve already forgotten about. So they weren’t really that important in the first place. But you made room for new situations to enter into your life. Opportunities where you’ve found achievement. Focus on those triumphs this week and rise above the feelings of doom.

You have put in a lot of spiritual work behind your effort to hold onto what you value. You’ve made sacrifices and let go of a great deal. These haven’t been punishments, but rather necessary changes to free you from the chains that are holding you back. Allowing you to move  forward and open your perspectives to what is possible.

Time To Write Your Abundance Check

wolfmoneyNew Moon Energy Reminder

The Moon reaches it’s New Moon Phase on June 4th at 10:58pm.

My friend Rev. Lyn Williams sends out a reminder every month on FB to Write Your Abundance Check.

I think many of us could use this, so I’d like to share it with you.  It’s a great way of putting your hopes, faith, dreams or desire for abundance into physical action.

I love Rev. Lyn’s ritual, but I did change it a little to implement some Pagan specific perspectives. If you need some abundance in your life, give it a try. You’ll find the full step-by-step ritual here: Sunday Homily: Writing Your Abundance Check.

You can visit Rev. Lyn’s website and learn more about her at The Woman Exec.  And follow her on Facebook where she shares some wonderful insight and suggestions to make positive changes in your life.

Enjoy the ritual!

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

Knave of Wands - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t spend too much time on your knees contemplating your next move. Over thinking your choices could cause you to miss opportunities you need to dive into. It’s always a good idea to think things through and determine the consequences of all your choices. But don’t make knee jerk reactions, as an alternative. And don’t take too long making decisions today or through the weekend.


Additional Insight:

There’s a lot of orange in today’s card. It might be a good time to review the meaning behind the color:
A vibrant Orange: Indicates ambition, pride, self-sufficiency.
Where as a dull Orange: A lack of warmth, but a strong desire for success and popularity.

It’s ok to be ambitious, but you also need to show those in charge that you can be decisive and make the tough choices. That means being patient and gathering information to determine the scope of the opportunities that have been brought to you. But it doesn’t mean taking so long that you put the deal in jeopardy.

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

Queen Of Wands - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t fan the flames of deceit. If someone made the choice to lie, it’s not your responsibility to back them up. In fact, it could be the worst thing for you to do. No matter how much you care about them, don’t stick your neck out on the line. They’re going through some hardships, but trying to lie the way through it, is not the answer. And you’re liable to be taken down with them.


Additional Insight:

It’s hard when we watch our family or close friends falter. But trying to deceive others isn’t going to make things better. Everyone must own up to their mistakes and be accountable for their actions. No matter how small or large they are, their choice is not yours to answer for. You can’t learn life’s lessons for others. Nor can you pay the karma they’ve created for themselves. Let them go if they can’t understand your need to step away.

You’ve been through enough on your own path. And you’re trying hard to change things around for the better. Don’t let them drag you back 10 steps where you were down at your worst. No matter what they did for you in the past, you’re walking forward and getting involved in something shady will destroy everything you’ve worked to improve. Continue reading

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

Five Of Cups-Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It’s ok to let the old things you don’t need fall away. Some of those items or people might be hard to let go. But you don’t need them in your life any longer. Mourn the loss today, as it’s a healthy release of the old energy from the past. But don’t let it pull you down and lose everything you’ve worked hard to change. You deserve better and you still have a great deal of success surrounding you right now. Some of which may still be in the works of manifestation.


Additional Insight:

Cups represent the essence of Emotions & Apathy, Happiness & Despair, Abundance & Lack.
While Yellow represents Success, Creativeness, Jealousy, & Selfishness.

An inverted card doesn’t necessarily mean the message of the day is negative or at odds with your hope for a good insight. Sometimes it’s a way for the Divine to remind us there are many ways to look at things. That we need a new perspective to see what’s really going on around us. And in the energy we’re creating for our future.  Continue reading

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

Two of Pentacles - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Things are moving up, even though you don’t feel like they are. You’re not losing what you’re worried about. You’re gaining ground, even though it’s slow and taking time. There’s no need to hoard and ration. Live within your means right now and things will get better by the end of this month.


Additional Insight:

Events rarely happen right on time and when we want. But they do come around when we need them the most. Hold on and keep moving forward so you don’t fall back on old fears and worry. Everything is moving right along in its right time and place.

You’ve become an expert at rationing, be it with finances, resources or time. But that’s about to be over and your pantry will be over flowing with abundance. Don’t worry so much about what you have in the coffers. You’ll have exactly what you need to get through the week. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Wands

10 of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Keep your mouth shut today. Your words will not be taken the way you intended and it could get you in trouble. Even if you have something to say that rights a wrong or exposes an injustice, this is not the day to speak up. Lay low and you’ll avoid conflict. There will be time later in the week to speak up, in the right time and place. And more importantly to the right person.


Additional Insight:

If you speak up too soon you could get your facts wrong or tell the wrong person. Hold off and make sure you know who the players are and what’s really going on. There’s magik afoot in today’s activities, but you must be patient and let it play out a little longer.

Some around you are not in a good mood. Trying to be the life of the party and share a joke or make light of a situation isn’t going to get the reaction you want or expected. So it’s best to simply hide away for the day and focus on your own list of things to do and get a lot done. Continue reading

Merry Beltaine – May 1st – May 6th

Arctic Wolf Fire

“Arctic Wolf Fire”
By Tom-in-Silence

Happy May Day

By the Solar Calendar, the holiday is celebrated on May 1st. But by the Lunar Calendar it’s honored on May 6th.

Beltaine is one of our most important Sabbats in Pagan Metaphysics. It honors the Divine Trinity of The God, Goddess, Divine Universe; or the Mind/Soul (the Maiden Goddess), the physical Body (the God) and the Spirit (the Divine Union). There are some who see the Trinity as the Soul of God (the Sun), the body of the Goddess (Mother Earth) and through their union springs forth the creation of life.

If you celebrate today, everyone here at Spring’s Haven and Springwolf Reflections want to wish you a fabulous, safe and happy holiday.

You can learn more about the holiday at: Beltaine: the Fire Festival

The Full Moon In The Southern Hemisphere

"Merlin In The Moon" by Springwolf 🐾

“Merlin In The Moon” by Springwolf 🐾

What Is The Name Of The Moon

As with all things in the world, where you are located will dictate how you associate this to that. Meaning and names of objects like the Moon vary around the world. Cultures assign names to each full moon based on their traditions, climate, animals, crops and how they view the world around them. There isn’t one complete list of this to that anywhere or for anything. There are many.

When it comes to Full Moon names, you can’t simply take a set of names from the North, reverse them and apply them to the South. This assumes we all look at things the same way through the same eyes. Imagine a Native American from the Cherokee Nation applying their moon names to the Aboriginal moon phases in Australia. It probably wouldn’t make sense to the folks who live down under.

But because Europeans settled in both the North and South, many of the moon names traveled with them to new lands and continents. In many ways this does a dis-service to the original peoples of the land in question and the names they came to know and associate with the Moon phases. Like the Tribal Nations in America, each group has its own language. The most common reference for the moon is Alkina and it’s associated with female energy. But try to find which Aboriginal Nation uses that word. I didn’t have any luck at all. Many words for the moon in other nations associate the moon with masculine energy. And that’s just Australia.

The Maori are the first people of New Zealand. They brought their Polynesian Mythology and the name of Moon with them to the land of the Kiwis. Here the Moon gets her name from the Goddess Marama, who governs the Moon and Death.
