Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Tower

The Tower

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Things are about to get real exciting. The lightening that strikes today will put an end to the past. Don’t fight it and let go of the old stuff that doesn’t have room in your future. The weeds are not only holding you down, they’re blocking out the light that needs to get through and will show you the way forward. Let it burn and be patient through the weekend as the energies around you shift. Out of the ash you will rise again, better than ever before!


Additional Insight:

Today’s events will be wonderful and exciting for those who have been working toward change. But it could be hard and difficult for those who have been fighting to keep the status quo.

The Divine Universe has a way of pushing you forward even when you’re trying hard not to go there. If you’re holding onto old stuff that has no purpose or place in your life today, expect things to change. Even if you have to be forced into it, it’s going to happen.

The only constant in the universe is that things change. Don’t be afraid of moving forward and taking the next steps. Don’t be afraid of making changes you know need to be done. You’ve seen the writing on the wall. If you haven’t made efforts to let go and move on, today and through the weekend, you’ll be pushed toward the place and direction you need to be going. If you have been making efforts to move forward, get ready; it’s finally here!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: King of Wands

King of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Rule with fairness as you watch over your domain. Be calm and attentive, but don’t make decisions until you understand the entire story. There are little details hidden in the shadows that you’re going to need to be aware of. Take time to look for them and then you can make informed decisions.


Additional Insight:

It’s not a day for contracts, promises or even verbal agreements. So if you can put off decisions until tomorrow, you may want to do just that. It will give you time to read the fine print, research issues or similar agreements, and make sure you have all your bases covered.

Some hidden facts need to be uncovered before you dive into long term agreements head-long. Understand the full scope of what you’re agreeing to before you shake hands, sign your name and pop the cork to celebrate. Getting out of a contract is equally important is what you’re getting into. So you may want to make sure you have an exit strategy.

Some details may simply be obscured and uncovering them will make the picture bigger. They may not change your mind about the decision you’ll be making, but they could uncover fine print that you want removed and don’t want to agree to. Removing it now will save you a good deal of trouble later.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Priest

The Priest

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You are in control of your domain, so stop blaming others for things not going exactly as you wanted. You can’t hide from your responsibilities and then expect things to turn out the way you need them too. Leave the excuses behind and let healing begin. If you look into your heart, you’ll see you already knew all this. Make sure you’re giving attention to what you need to get done and do it. You’ll be ok, so don’t be afraid to make the calls, fill out the paper work or bring things to resolution.


Additional Insight:

You are the one making the choices that direct your path. Even making a choice to do nothing or leave it to someone else is your decision. If they don’t carry the ball, remember you could have been there to nudge them forward. You could have asked for it back so you could hand off the task to someone more reliable.

There are many options we’re presented with in a day. When activities must get done, it’s up to us to work on them and make sure they get done. The Priest isn’t talking about doing the dishes, mowing the lawn or running to the store for that special box of icing. Those things aren’t worth getting angry about.

He’s talking about what you hold in your heart that means the most to you. Your home, your well-being, your kids, and everyone’s safety and security. Those are the real important things you must pay attention to and watch over. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Moon

 

The Moon

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Let go of the melancholy shadow. Spiritual blossoms are reflecting your magikal success with brightness and blessings. All the work you’ve put into turning things around come to fruition by days end. Check on your projects as the moon rises and you’ll be able to close out items on your list that you thought would never be completed. It’s a day to be content as the moon brings light into the darkness you’ve passed through these oh so many nights.


Additional Insight:

Your magik shines most brightly at night, so it stands to reason that your plate will be filled as needed by the rise of the moon. Here on the east coast of the United States, moon rise for tonight is technically on Wednesday at 1:29am. A sign that patience is warranted for today.

Don’t let your day dreams fall into the worst scenarios or be influenced by your stress and anxiety. You’ll do nothing but create a spree of negative energy that will circle back into your life. You’ve worked to hard to change things around, keep the positive thoughts flowing forward.

Let the wolf within howl at Grandmother Moon this evening. You’ll have much to sing about and all those things you dreaded to think will not come to pass. Don’t worry about feeling foolish, focus on being optimistic and trusting in your ability to create the world you need. And remember that what you “want” isn’t always the same as what you “need”. So be open to opportunities to learn something new and share the perspectives that others have to teach you.

By daylight you’ll feel much better about the things you’ve accomplished, along with the fortitude and the strength you have shown. Never giving up faith that things have to turn around, remember you made it happen. Celebrate your ability to create through your alignment with the Divine in your life. And share these blessings with those you care about the most. The Divine Universe might just be using you as a vehicle for salvation for many who are struggling around you. It’s a good day to remember this years motto: I am at peace and live in the moment with all the prosperity and abundance I require! And so it is.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Emperor – Inverted

 

The Emperor - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t be afraid to spread your wings and hold onto the handle of your prize. You have the strength, knowledge and ability to lift way more than you think. No one can hold onto what you’ve earned and keep you from taking it or using it. Justice is on your side today. So don’t be sheepish when asking for your due. Be polite, but be confident and firm. Could be someone simply forgot about your agreement and they’ll appreciate the reminder.


Additional Insight:

Others may try to undermine your confidence today, but don’t let them. You’ve achieved a great goal and you’ve worked too hard to have someone else deflate your balloon. Their negative talk is based on their own internal fears and anxieties. So let them carry that burden while you spread your wings and fly.

You don’t have to be angry or upset with them. You can try to understand where they’re coming from. Perhaps they’re afraid of you leaving, while they stay behind and watch you fly off never to return. Perhaps they’re scared of you taking their place, because you have achieved more than they have. Perhaps they simply forgot what they agreed to many moons ago and need a gentle reminder that you’re owed a prize.

Whatever their reason, don’t let it hold you down from soaring. You are much stronger than you’re giving yourself credit for. You know more than you realize and you simply need to start putting all that into practice so you can prove to yourself  that you really can do this. But it’s time to put action behind your thoughts.

Unsolicited Advice is Always Self-Serving

Feeling Put Upon

Feeling Put Upon

Why Does Advice Sometimes Backfire?

I try to spend a little time during the week reading in my favorite magazines or news stories that peak my interest. This week, I found one that hits home as it’s close to something I posted on FB a few weeks ago concerning how we sometimes make assumptions about other people’s lives.

Giving unsolicited advice is what causes problems. Advice is often preceded by a judgment or an evaluation—which is based on our interpretation of a person or situation. Although you may sincerely intend to help or assist someone, giving unsolicited advice sends a variety of underlying messages which are all based on assumptions, and which are almost always perceived as negative to the person receiving the unwanted advice. As a result, advice often comes across as judgmental, authoritative, or self-serving.

When we give unsolicited advice, the judgmental assumption is, “You can’t figure this out on your own,” or “I don’t trust you to figure it out.”
     
The authoritative assumption is, “I know better than you,” or “I know and you don’t, so I have to tell you.”
     
The self-serving assumption is, “I need to give you the benefit of my advice to validate or to prove to myself how smart I am.” or worse “I need to tell you what to do, so I can be the hero that saved you from yourself.”

As a result, your judgement manifests through your advice and is often taken as a slight or insult, causing hurt feelings within the one you’re trying to help.”

If you want to help someone you care about, simply tell them that you’re thinking of them, you’re sending thoughts and prayers; and ask if there’s anything you can do, for them to please let you know. But don’t make assumptions about what they need or want. Continue reading

Our 1000th Post!

1000th

Thank you for helping us reach a great milestone!

Celebrating A Milestone!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Message was the 1000th post here on Springwolf Reflections! Woohoo!!

I never thought we’d reach that number in what seems like two short years. Maybe that sounds like a long time for some. But for me, it seems like the first post on February 1st, 2012 was only last week.

I do like that the 1000th post has come in May. This is a big month for me for a lot of reasons. So this milestone only adds to the marked events this month has brought to me through out my life. And maybe there’s some significance to being on the 16th, right in the middle of the month. Some what appropriate considering there are 31 days in May.

I’ve been blessed with so gifts from our little official author’s blog. From simple feedback to heart warming and touching notes and letters from so many of you about how this post or that comment has made a difference in your life. I’m honored when folks find my ramblings helpful or inspiring. I’m humbled by your efforts to make note, make the effort to like and or comment and definitely for your trust when you share personal insights about your own journeys.

I owe much of the success for Springwolf Reflections to you, the readers and visitors. If you didn’t come by and check things out, then I probably would have become discouraged and stopped babbling a long time ago. So thank you, one and all, for helping to make this little place on the web a success and for inspiring me to expand and grow it into the future.

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

 

Queen of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Show some compassion for yourself and play your own music. Your strength to get through hardship is what brings success and inspires others. Many of whom appear to be coping on the outside, but are a bundle of nerves on the inside. Now allow your own inner strength to inspire you to rule over your domain both quietly inside yourself and as you spread your wings for others to see throughout the weekend.


Additional Insight:

No matter what others are trying to do today and over the weekend, don’t feel as though you must exhaust your energy to accommodate them. You are always giving all of yourself for others and showing them compassion and kindness, but you often do it at your own expense. That something you shouldn’t do today or through the weekend.

If you want to do something else, this is your time to sing your own song and dance your own dance. If staying at home in the quiet solitude of your world is what you want to do, then make the effort to do that. It’s ok to say “No”. Grab some popcorn and a drink to snuggle up on the couch to a good ole movie. Sleep in, get some rest and do what you want to do. Grab the dog or whatever, jump in the car and go out for a weekend drive. Explore a road you’ve never been on before and have a quiet adventure!

Everything that’s on your plate today will still be there on Monday. Those things that present deadlines may need some attention today and over the weekend, but you’ll get them done. Don’t stress over the little things, because today they really don’t have the big important priority that you think they do. Relax. Let go of the burdens you’ve been carrying all week and may be for much longer.

Things change this weekend for the better and for some it could very well be a drastic change or complete turn around. Some maybe forced changes, some maybe chosen by your own work and efforts you’ve put into something up to this point. Whatever the changes are, Welcome them and invite them in. It’s going to be a good experience and you’re going to be so glad you accepted the ticket to ride.

Can You Stand Up To Your Own Standards

As I’ve mentioned many times before, I get a lot of email from folks around the world. I love getting email. Especially from far off exotic places. I love answering questions and hearing about the experiences of others as they traverse their own paths through life and spiritual exploration.

It’s a double edge sword being a writer and teacher of a spiritual path that has centuries of demonstrative propaganda to stand up to. There are wonderful moments of enlightenment, excitement when someone shares their “Ah-ha” moments, and the inner peace you feel when others thank you for helping them find their own truth within themselves. It’s a calling I’m proud to take and honored to share.

But from time to time there are nasty eMails that condemn my writing, call me names and are in general monstrous accusations of sin, guilt, damnation and so on.

Anyone however, can receive an email like this. How you view those emails might say a lot about you and your own spiritual thoughts and perspectives. It can be a litmus test for how far you’ve come on your path, where you are today and maybe even shed some light on where you need to go moving forward.

Do they offend you? Do you get angry or take them to heart? Do you feel the need to respond or do you simply ignore them. If you do ignore them do you still think about what you would have said and how you would have put them in their place had you responded? Do you carry their message with you even if you know their comments and attack on your character are invalid?

Yesterday I received an email and I asked folks on my FB page this question: Continue reading
