A Look At 777

Number Seven / 7 by Springwolf 🐾 © The Inspiration of Numbers

Well now that we’ve corrected the big mistake we made on the numerology section, of the blog (A Correction – In Full Disclosure), I’m going to jump right in and share some numerological insight for something I discovered today, and that I found kind of interesting and intriguing.

If you’ve seen my number insights before you know that Mathematics is the only language shared by all humans regardless of culture, religion, or gender. Numerology is the study of the divine or mystical relationship between a count or measurement and life. It has many systems and traditions and beliefs. My practice of numerology is Shamanistic Numerology that’s based on Celtic and North American Shamanistic teachings. It’s not the only method, the best method or the true method. It’s simply one of many methods and one that resonates most with me and my personal perspectives of the Divine and the world we live in.

From a Shamanistic Numerology standpoint, today’s number is a Sub-Prime number and as a numerical number it represents the spiritual aspect of this event. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Three of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Share the burden, you don’t have to do everything alone. Asking for help is not a weakness, it’s a strength that allows you to achieve success together. Together you can read more, research more, do more and complete more. You move the projects and activities forward with more achievement and more success.


Additional Insight:

You can struggle and waste time, slowing down the process of getting things done and risking the loss of opportunities that are coming your way.

Or, you can swallow your pride and ask for help in order to achieve your goals and put your thoughts and plans into action. You can be ready when opportunities arise. You can get more done by delegating and letting go of that task, so you can focus on a bigger item that does need your sole attention.

Micro-managing is another way of saying you have no faith or trust in those around you. It means you don’t think anyone else can accomplish what needs to be done, except you. Micro-managing is a concept of ego and arrogance. It’s not the action of a good manager.

Those around you may do things a little differently than you would, but that doesn’t make their way wrong or ineffective. Trust those who can and are willing to help you out. You put them in the position to be part of your world, or part of your team. So give them the respect to do the job, to do it well and to get it done. Continue reading

Who Are The Pagans

Wise Old Wolf

The Wise Old Wolf

We’re The Other People

Many years ago a friend sent me an article that explains who we pagans are, from the very beginning of time. Well, time as it relates to Christians anyway.

The article was originally published in a periodical from Church Of All Worlds called “Green Egg“, years ago. The magazine isn’t published any longer, but the Church still exists. I am very fond of this article and when I originally went looking for it, I could only find it in Google’s cached pages. But it doesn’t even exist there any longer.

The article was written by Oberon Zell from Church of all Worlds. It is way too good to let his story fade into the ether of the internet. In 1999 I attained permission to reprint the article as long as I made sure I gave the credit to Oberon. Well of course, and gladly so!

The story shares some important insight into the origins of Earth and formation of life. Using the Bible itself to explain and discuss the origins of Pagans from the Christian perspective. Come take a look, you might discover something you never thought of and expand your view about the Other People. Continue reading

Metaphysics: The Basics of Paganism

CommunicationThe Essence of Metaphysics

Recently I had the opportunity to speak with some other spiritual and metaphysical authors. The majority spoke of Metaphysics from a New Age, New Thought and Unitarian perspective. At some point I said “Well Metaphysics is pagan, and not based on Abrahamic doctrine” which to some degree all of these spiritual paths hold a connection to.  ..uh oh.. did I start something!!

Thankfully most of the people, ok, there were about 14 people in this conversation and only 2 seemed offended by my comment. Others looked confused and question my claim. Others were curious and asked what I meant. So I began to explain.

While we associate the writings of Metaphysics with Aristotle, he didn’t create the concept nor was he the only one writing about it. You can read more about this in my book Pagan Metaphysics 101. But the early cultures around the globe were all pagan. Which seems to have come as a surprise to some people. They actually believed the society that gave us the Great Greek Philosophers were following early Christian teachings.

It was hard letting them down and putting a few facts into their assumptions, but it had to be done. Pythagoras established the Pythagoras Brotherhood (a philosophical society that discussed life, the universe, morals and much more.) in 530B.C. That would be 30years before the completed Hebrew Manuscripts. And Pythagoras is said to have created this Brotherhood late in his life, about the time he was 50 years old. So presumably the concepts within metaphysics were part of his life and understanding long before he established the brotherhood. “Metaphysics” was coined in late 300’s B.C. by Aristotle. It wasn’t until 200 B.C. when the completion of the Septuagint Greek Manuscripts were completed. These manuscripts contain The 39 Old Testament Books AND 14 Apocrypha Books of the earliest version of the Torah. This happened nearly 100 years after Aristotle penned his writings. Say what?!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knave of Swords – Inv

Knave of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Tuck your head between your legs and …give yourself a hug! There’s enough going on in your life to struggle against. Stop trying to join in the fray and help those determined to destroy you and keep you down in the muck and fear of the past. If they want to be there, you may need to let them go so you can move forward on your own.


Additional Insight:

You can’t make others see that their own fear is keeping them in despair and struggle. If they’re not willing to look within themselves and discover their own lessons; you can’t make them do it. But you don’t need to join them there and ignore what you have learned about your own patterns of action or inaction and moving your path forward.

Self sacrifice doesn’t mean wallowing in self-pity and living in the past so that someone else feels good about who they are. It doesn’t mean constant struggle against things you know can be changed and overcome. It doesn’t mean fighting against the cycle of hardship to remain in that continual downward spiral, just so someone else feels safe and secure in their own fear and stagnation. 

Your sacrifice might allow someone you care about to feel justified to continue walking the path of their same old negative patterns. Constantly fighting against the world, you and themselves. But you’re not doing yourself any favors by ignoring everything you’ve been working to change, so they can keep you anchored in your own negative actions and mired in all the fears you’ve worked so hard to let go of and overcome.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Pentacles

 

5 of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t dwell on what you don’t have.  Focus on what prosperity you do have. If you focus on the bare coffers you’re aiding to that energy and keeping them from being turned around, ready to receive abundance. You still have blessings and those will and can create opportunities that allow you to focus on the positive things and bring more to you. Get out of the rut you’re in by being honest with yourself. You’re not perfect. But you don’t need to be! You are your worst critic and things really aren’t as bad as you think they are. Let go and let yourself move forward to better situations and better days!


Additional Insight:

Don’t allow your mood to hold you back and create more of the same struggle, conflict, and depression. You’re only making things harder on yourself.

To turn the situation around, you need to lift your spirit and look through better eyes. See what you do have, the intangible things that mean so much more than the materialistic things. While some financial prosperity is needed to survive, the struggles you face will only get worse if you continue to dwell in the past. You are pulling yourself down, along with those around you. Let it go! They deserve better and believe it or not; so do you!

Stop trying to make things perfect; they never will be. Stop procrastinating, putting things off is only making things harder. Stop holding back because what’s ahead is scary and filled with unknowns. Those things should make the road ahead exciting and filled with anticipation. You should want to hurry up to get down the road and turn the corner so you can see what’s there. Be part of your future; not a slave to your past! Continue reading

It’s 07/14/14 – So What Does That Mean?

Number 4 by Springwolf © 2014The Numerological Message for July 14th, 2014

Mathematics is the only language shared by all humans regardless of culture, religion, or gender. Today stood out for me, because of a pattern I saw when I posted today’s Tarot Meditation Insight. In my strange brain, I saw a 7 and it clicked that two 7s, are 14 and there’s two 14s in today’s date. Well that seemed interesting to me for some reason. Maybe because 4 is my favorite number. So I decided to look into the number from a Shamanistic Numerology standpoint.

A quick review
Prime numbers are those numbers that are specific to you, your birthday, social security or other numbers that will stick with you throughout your lifetime.

Sub-Prime numbers are numbers associated with you that change over time. Your phone number, an employee number, drivers license number and other things like that.  A date falls into the category of Sub-Prime, because it only comes around once and quickly changes to the next day in the scheme of your lifetime.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: 5 of Cups – Inv

Five Of Cups-Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t fret, you’re not going to lose everything you have. Even though things seem upside down this morning, by the afternoon, you’ll feel better about what you still have within your cups. Don’t hide your eyes and ignore what needs to be done. Stop procrastinating.  If you keep focusing on the negative, you’ll pull more of that toward you and continue to build the snowball that takes you down hill. Stop trying to make things so perfect that you miss the chance to reap the benefits! You’re ok; now stand up and keep fighting!!


Additional Insight:

If you focus on worry you’ll create the situations you fear the most. Stop putting things off because you’re worried they aren’t exactly right. That trepidation will only pull more fear toward you and that won’t fix the issue anyway. You’re not perfect, you’re never going to be perfect and that’s ok. Because no one else is perfect either.

Submit your report as it is. You’ve polished it, worked the numbers and tweaked it more than you needed to in the first place. It’s fine! Let go where it can do some real good and bring positive and prosperous things into your life! Delaying it will only cause things to get worse and then you may lose what you have left!

It’s going to be a good day. Though it may not seem like it this morning, things really aren’t as bad as you’re imagining them to be. Dare to be positive. Have the audacity to believe you deserve all that you wish for and more. Break down the barriers in your thinking and expand your perspectives to the unlimited resources and potentials of the grand Universe! Beyond the Milkyway, beyond the far off galaxies, beyond all limits; no one can hold you back, but you! Continue reading

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

King of Cups Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t get trapped in your limitations. You’ve learned a great deal, come a long way and understand more about what’s going on than you’re willing to admit. Stop thinking you can’t achieve your ultimate goals or dreams. There are enough people holding you back already. You don’t need to do that to yourself and remain in muck or mud spinning your wheels backward. Let go and be free; even if it means accepting change.


Additional Insight:

Too often we limit our own thoughts and energy through our self-doubt and negative thinking. We fear moving forward because we don’t know what’s coming, what it will be like, or we imagine the struggles of change that often never materialize. Or they’re not nearly as hard as we thought they’d be!

Stop the fear mongering! Stop listening to the fake limitations set by the world around you. Whither it comes from those in your family, friends or people you know, or from society itself, they don’t know YOU or what your spiritual path is to be. Only you know that, deep down within your soul!

Don’t be afraid to take time to look at what’s really going on. Go within and look at your spiritual blue print. What choices do you have to make? Which direction do you need to go in order to work on your personal mission and live in joy and happiness. Where will your passion manifest in your work and become the career of a lifetime? No one can tell you these things. And those that think they can, you might want to be wary of. No one knows YOU better than YOU! It’s your life, and it’s time you took responsibility for where it’s leading.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Wands

 

Knight Of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Magik is afoot! Be watching for unexpected opportunities! While you’re taking a short break, look around, pay attention to your surroundings and be ready when you see the opening to take your place at the head of the line. If you’re distracted, you’ll miss it and it could be the opportunity of a life time! It’s a good day to be Mindful.


Additional Insight:

Look up and look around your surroundings. Put down the ipod, smart phone, tablet or whatever has your attention during your breaks from work. Pay attention, listen and look at what’s going on around you. You’re part of a bigger world and it can’t be contained in that little electronic technological device.

If you’re a parent, stop texting! Your kids are way more important than whatever is in that conversation. Show them how important they are to you. Because they’re not going to stay little forever. If you’re at lunch with friends or co-workers; make an agreement to put the phones in the center of the table and no one touches their device while you’re sitting at the table. You have voice mail; let them talk to it inside! Whoever breaks that rule; picks up the entire check!

You’ve worked hard to create positive energy to flow your way and in the direction you need it to go. All that work and effort is coming to fruition, but you still need to pay attention to grab the brass ring when comes close enough to touch. If you don’t give yourself permission to look up and be mindful with your surroundings, you run the risk of missing the opportunity. All that you’ve worked for will pass you by without you even noticing that it had arrived. You might delay the next opportunity, or you might have missed the last chance altogether!
