Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Abundance is all around you today. And not just the money kind either. Enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Mark the day with an act of love and allow the abundance of compassion and caring to fill you up. Share your love with that special someone, be that your parents, your kids, your extended family or your animal family members. Love comes in many forms and each one can be that special berry that puts a smile on your face!

Additional Insight:

Money doesn’t buy you happiness or love. Having “things” on one special day of the year doesn’t truly show someone you love them. You might enjoy giving the dozen roses, or count on receiving a special gift. But those “things” only last a short time.

The abundance of love, comes from showing respect to those you care about.

Respecting those you love enough to listen and actually hear what they have to say. Allowing them to share their day with you, as they allow you to share yours with them. Asking questions and being attentive, look each other in the eye as you speak. These are acts of respect and love.

If you’re out to dinner and that special someone is talking to you, what kind of respect are you showing with your eyes glued to your cell phone?

Above all else, people want to know they are loved through the little things you do all year long. Listening and hearing what’s being said is one of the most important parts of that. Knowing that you have value to someone else, that you’re important and that your presence matters in their life are all little things we think about. But sometimes we don’t do anything about.

Don’t sit there and merely think “wow she looks beautiful today”. Or watch him shaving and think “I do love those big shoulders”. Actually say it out loud to them. You’ll be amazed at how those little things go a long way over time when the world intrudes on your day. This special day of love isn’t exclusively for couples. It should extend to you and your family, your kids, your parents and your extended family as well. Don’t forget to tell them all how you feel about them and how much they mean to you.

And if there is strain between those who are special in your life and you, today is the perfect day to speak up and have a conversation. You may find that you both have had hurt feelings based on assumptions, old wounds that sparked old hurts and in fact, you really do still love and need each other a great deal.

Abundance of money means nothing if you don’t have someone to share the rewards with. So for today, acknowledge all the little things you do have, right there in front of you. The intangible things that fill your baskets to overflowing joy and love.

Happy Valentines One and All.

Happy Valentine’s Day

In Love With My Valentine

You are the principle of my moment, without you I can’t decide what goes next.
You are the medium of the plan, without you the plan is just breath in the wind.
Like the song says, there ain’t nothing ’bout you that don’t do something for me.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Wands

Feb13

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Let your inspiration feed your magik today. Take time to think things through and you’ll easily find the solution to untie the bindings that are holding you captive. Your frustrations are keeping you from seeing the path ahead and taking the right cross-road. So relax. It’s going to be ok. You will find the way through the dark forest.

Additional Insight:

Sometimes we can allow stress and anxiety build up so much that it not only clouds our judgement, but it also blinds us from seeing. Your conflicting desires are making it harder to see through the fog and find the creative solution. Stop dwelling on what you “might’ have to do, and focus on what you truly can do, in order to resolve the pressing matters of the day.

You will have to sit down and decide once and for all what you want. You’re putting a lot of energy into something that may not occur. Instead of focusing on the real tangible activities that lay before you. Be careful you don’t lose what you really want in the process. What’s truly the most important thing to you, in the here and now? (Not what’s imperative. What’s really important!?)

Right now you are tugging on the ropes and only making them tighter. Stop the struggle and panic. Relax and balance your energies between the physical actions and the spiritual visions.

It’s another case of aligning yourself with the Divine in your life. Raise your vibrational energy out of the hole you’ve dug and move up above the forest. From a higher view you’ll be able to see the path through the woods and guide your steps accordingly.

It’s hard to stop worrying. But you can do this. Let your magik flow with innovation and creativity. You can, because you are one with the Divine energy of the Universe!

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

Feb12

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You are surrounded by love, even if you don’t feel you are. You’re allowing your own inner criticisms to cut new wounds and open old ones. As you allow your thoughts to spin through your mind, you wrap the vine of self punishment tighter and tighter. Keep doing that and it’s going to be hard for anyone to help you get free.

Additional Insight:

You keep doing the same things that got you here and they’re not working. Stop taking on all the responsibility and start opening your heart, mind and ears to those who love you. Listen to their counsel and implement some of their ideas.

Sometimes all you need to do is hear what’s being said and you can find help right in front of you. Your negative thoughts and anxiety are forcing you into a hole where all you can do is watch the vines grow and restrict your actions further. Keep doing that and you won’t be able to reach out for help.

Take some time for a good and honest look at your situation. How much have you been talking down to yourself, taking on the world and doing it alone. How much of that is because you refuse to ask for help; or take in the help that has been offered to you? You don’t have to go it alone, so why are you so intent on doing so.

Take in a deep breath, let go of the blame, the guilt, the negative self talk and hate. It will not serve you. Release all that negativity like a gray smoke that floats into the depths of the Divine Universe and dissipates; no longer causing harm to you or anyone else.

Now take in a deep breath and fill your entire body with the clear and vibrant yellow energy of Divine creation and success. Swallow the self ego that has kept you in the corner alone. Force yourself to smile and find that one person in your life who will hold you and love you no matter what. Tell them you need their help and ask them to talk with you today. Work out issues together and allow their love to inspire your creativity and determination to conquer! Forget about enduring the storm. That’s over with. Now it’s time to take on winds of change, use them to your advantage and win the war!

You can do this! Use this years motto to get you through the rest of the week to remind yourself of that. No longer are you striving to endure. You are walking WITH the winds of change and you will conquer the day!

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

Feb11

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stress and anxiety plague the day as you struggle against the ties that bind you. Remember that what you want, you must give to others. Keeping your nose to the grind stone may have adverse effects on what’s really important in your life. Be cautious. Someone is calling out for your attention. You may have noticed, you may have listened; but did you really hear.

Additional Insight:

When confronted with challenges, some people focus so much on solving the problem that they lose sight of what they’re working so hard for. Others yell and scream releasing their anxiety and pushing those they want to care for further away. And some shut down and go within, knowing if they do say something it may only make things worse. Leaving them to feel even more lost and alone then the situation has created.

Relationships are complex things and they take work to maintain. Everyone wants to be “heard” when they communicate. It’s not enough to talk and listen, if you don’t actually hear what’s being said. But remember words are only a small piece of the communication we have with others. Our actions too play a key role. The words mean nothing, if the action isn’t behind them.

But the actions mean nothing, if the words don’t support them as well. You can’t do the little things and expect others to feel fulfilled if you’re not hearing what they say. It takes both words and actions to make things work. Having one without the other only lets those around you feel let down, un-appreciated and pushed away.

Take time today to give your attention to those around you who need it most. Actually hear what they have to say. Don’t turn the conversation around to be all about you. Let go of your ego to be the one who needs the peep talk and show your love, support and your respect to them. They will return the favor. But today, they need you to be there for them.

Our 1st Anniversary Celebration!!

Feb8

Springwolf Reflections Turns One

It’s hard to believe that a full year has passed by already. I’ve been thrilled with the warm welcome the blog has received. The kind comments and wonderful feedback have also been overwhelming and amazing. I’m always surprised when others find my ramblings helpful or inspirational. So I want to say thank you to everyone who comes by and sits for a spell to peruse my articles and ramblings!

When I started the blog, the old site “springwolf.net” only had 130 some visitors. A marketing guru convinced me that an author’s website needs to be interactive, with daily notes and updates. It took a short week, and maybe a few days, to get Reflections up and running. But the year has shown that our marketing expert was right.

February 1st 2012 was our official 1st day for the blog. On our anniversary (February 1st, 2013) and 467 posts later; we have been graced by 30,488 visitors total. That’s over 2,500+ visitors each month; 650+ each week. And we’re still going strong! Sometimes those numbers can be a little overwhelming!

I’d like to make note and say a special thank you to our first Reflections follower; Katrina who has her own blog that is definitely worth checking out: Freedom to a Full Life. And Detre at Face It Creative Coaching, who was the first person to leave us a comment on one of our early posts. Thank you Katrina and Detre for being with us from the very beginning!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Emperor – Inverted

Feb8

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You’re doing a great job holding yourself up and holding on. The effort is making you stronger. So why are you so down on yourself and doubting your efforts today? Spread your wings and soar on the wind of change that’s filling the sky around you. Look over your domain and take in the view of where you used to be and how far you’ve come. It may just re-energize your day.

Additional Insight:

Stop listening to the nay-sayers, the critics, the people who don’t even know you. None of them are walking in your shoes or know what you’ve been through. They can only feel better about who they are, by putting others down and trying to stand upon a pedestal they didn’t earn.

If you’re not with people who support you, or build you up and stand behind you; then you need to move on. Don’t allow others to keep you down because they’re afraid of change or moving forward. That’s not your path and you don’t need that kind of conflict in your life.

You can try to talk to those holding you back. Communication is always a good thing. Some times people are so afraid of change that they’ll say they want “this”, but they seriously worry what will happen and what the consequences will be when it’s achieved.

If they won’t talk with you or won’t agree to work on the issues at hand, it maybe time to simply let go and move on. You can’t learn lessons for others. But you can’t allow them to hold you back from the lessons you have to work through either.

Believe in yourself; even when no one else does.

The dynamic of relationships can be an interesting thing. People can talk a good talk, but their actions tell you what’s really behind their thinking. I’ve met a number of people who say they want to be financially successful and each person has their own definition of what that means. But of those same people, many are secretly afraid to reach their goal because of what it will provide or do to their relationship. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Wands

Feb7

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Creativity and magik are all around you today, so pay attention and take advantage of it. Don’t let the mood of others limit your desires or actions. Jealousy is an ugly thing and keeps people from looking within to see the real underlying issues they are holding onto. You can’t learn those lessons for them. And you can’t allow their baggage to weigh you down.

Additional Insight:

Others around you may not be handling the struggles of the day as easily as you seem to be. They don’t know what’s really going on beneath the surface of your skin. So while you’re scared to death, worrying and really want to sit down and cry; no one else can see that. Nor do they need to.

Wallowing in self pity only prolongs the struggle and you already know this. But if you hold back your plans or actions because you’re worried about how they will adversely affect someone around you; you are limiting your own success. Don’t allow their issues to become your anchors that hold you back.

Through perseverance you keep taking one more step closer to creating your dreams and holding up the trophy of success. Giving birth to your new “baby” and nurturing it each and every day with visualization and action.

You may not see all the events your magik is touching right now. But others are taking notice and paying attention. Keep it up. In part because you really do enjoy it, and because it’s aiding in the manifestation of your triumphant success.

Even in the worst of times, you can always find something to smile about or that gives you strength to take that one more step to walking into the light of success. But it’s up to you to open your eyes and see it.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Cups

Feb6

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t expect others to know you care simply by being present. It’s not the words that say I care, it’s the actions. Take some time to let those around you know you care about them and what they’re going through. Or you’re glad they’re in your life to share your experiences. Do something to back it up, because someone in your life is feeling neglected and under appreciated.

Additional Insight:

It’s the little things we do each and every day that show someone we care about them. Not the one or two big things we do once a year in February, or on an anniversary, or birthday.

Fixing her a cup of coffee in the morning and serving it with a kiss on the cheek. Putting a special snack in his brief case with a special note attached that says you’re thinking of him. Picking up their favorite drink at the gas station when you fill up on the way home. It’s the little things that remind others you’re glad they’re in your life.

But in this month of love, don’t forget that special someone isn’t the only person in your life. Those you work with might like to know they’re appreciated too. You can pick up a fruit platter on your way into work for a morning treat. Of course a box of donuts will do too. Or take your team out for lunch and say thanks for the help on this project, or that holiday display.

Sometimes the biggest gift you can give is some undivided attention. Actually listen to someone when they need a friend to talk to. Let them vent and get it out, so they can feel as if someone out there cares enough to “hear”. Put down the cell phone and stop texting other people when you’re with them. It’s not only respectful, it might also make someone feel like you actually want them around.

Think of the little things you wish someone would do for you, then turn around and do it for someone in your life. You might be surprised at how often your kind gestures will come back to you in return.
