Diversity
A Statement Of Unity
News Release 12.10.2014
Spring’s Haven and Springwolf Reflections release a statement on the recent violence that has highlighted racial inequality and violence against humanity.
Everyone here at Spring’s Haven and Springwolf Reflections share concern with many in the world and within our Pagan communities regarding inequalities between people not only in the American justice system, but within our societies and cultures as well. And on the recent release of a U.S. Congressional report on torture.
As Pagans, we view all life as sacred and as such, all lives matter. That belief extends not only to human life, but ALL life. We see our Divine world in the context that I am not the Goddess, you are not the God. But you and I, and all things seen and unseen throughout the Divine Cosmos make up the Divine Consciousness of the All and Everything. Continue reading
How We Think
How We Think Impacts How We Talk
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it takes a little while to find out what the reason is, and others it becomes obvious from the start.
Being a political junkie, I typically start my Sunday’s with the morning News/Political debate programs. Meet the Press is my most favorite. A few weeks ago I was getting my morning cup of coffee and preparing to watch the morning debates when one of the cats decided to turn the channel while I was out of the room. As I returned to the tv, there was a discussion with Blair Underwood and Vanessa Williams.
I assumed this interview was in the news for some reason and the Sunday morning debate was playing a snippet of this interview. It took a few minutes to realize the channel had been changed to BET and I wasn’t watching what I thought I was.
What I discovered however, was very interesting and I watched the remainder of the program. There was a reason for the kitty-cat intervention. Ok, kewl.
Ms. Williams was discussing a book she had read, What Could He be Thinking by Dr. Michael Gurian. Her synopsis of the book piqued my curiosity enough, that I had to pick it up myself. It’s a great book on how our brains work differently and the science behind that. It’s not a bad or degrading study suggesting one sex is smarter than the other. Merely a study in the way we process information differently within the human brain.
As a Spiritual Counselor, this kind of scientific and psychological study is something that truly interests me. The more we understand about how we process information, the better we can communicate and resolve issues. Not only in our relationships with partners and family, but in society as well. How we think and process information during our varying emotions is a key component to understanding how we put our choices and actions into practice. Continue reading

How Things Have Changed
Five years ago on this very day, December 1st, I began pulling a tarot card and sharing a message for your daily meditation. The messages for those first cards were very short and sweet. No additional insight was given. It was simply my way to bring attention to my new spiritual business through social media and advertising. How those initial messages have changed.
Dec. 1, 2009
Queen of Wands
Today is filled with creative magik, communication and oversight.
It wasn’t until March 2010 that the daily message began to expand on the initial message of the cards to add at least one more sentence to put the images into context. By May 2010 I had settled into sharing a daily card and finally became more comfortable with divining messages for a public preview.
It wasn’t until 2012 that I began expanding on the initial message posted on Spring’s Haven here on my blog. So there’s a few more years to go before that milestone comes around.
But this one is a big one to acknowledge. And I’m so grateful for the years of kind and supportive feedback I’ve received from everyone who has shared their thoughts. Your messages really do help and I’m honored you take the time to write your words and share your perspectives. Continue reading
Thank you
Everyone at Spring’s Haven and Springwolf Reflections would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to our customers and fans.
We wish you and those dear to you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. May your heart be filled with gladness and your home be filled with joy!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m trying not to spread my medical business over the internet, but that’s not easy to do these days as friends want to extend their thoughts and prayers on social media to get well. And I am thankful for those thoughts. But it leaves out a lot of information for those who don’t know what’s going on around here.
Let me simply say, I wound up in the hospital last week as the result of a medical emergency. They ran tests and found out what was happening and thankfully it’s nothing major. I’m recovering and now that we know what’s up, we’re able to treat it long-term. The good news is, the damage isn’t permanent and I’m doing better than I was.
I want to extend a special Thank you to everyone who has sent thoughts, prayers and healing my way. I really appreciate it and I’m thankful for such wonderful blessings.

I’m Pagan & I Voted
I’m Pagan And I Voted
Are you tired of the attack ads, political spin, false accusations and fear-mongering? Me too. All the money it took this election cycle to buy your vote is obscene. And that has made many Americans disenfranchised.
Many wonder if their votes mean anything when they’re up against Billionaires like the Koch brothers, Donald Trump and others who have their own agenda.
The only way your vote can be bought is if you don’t vote at all. By not voting you’re allowing those Big Super Packs to court the votes of those who fall into their manipulative clutches.
If you want to change things, if you want the economy to turn around, then stop allowing the corporations to vote for you and stop them from electing representatives that are going to vote for the Corporations and not for you.

The Numerology of 1177
If you’ve been around here for a little while, you know that from time to time numbers catch my attention. When they do, I like to analyze their significations in relation to what’s going on with the day and where they popped up.
When those numbers are connected to my work, I like to share that insight with you. Because it might have some significance to your day.
That happened today when I posted a little News item about appearing on KAOI’s show Talk Story with Cindy Paulos. The longest running talk show on Maui, where Cindy interviews celebrities, political leaders and spiritual teachers.
I posted the news and received the notification this was 1177th post on this blog and it grabbed my attention. Trust your instincts. When something grabs your attention, whether it’s out of the ordinary or something that happens nearly every day, it’s trying to share a message with you. Continue reading

What Are The Legal Things To Consider
So you have received your ordination and you’re ready to start-up your Church, Spiritual Center or Professional Services Business. Now what? How do you get started and how do you define your practice?
Start with the first step; registering as an ordained minister. Doing that is separate from defining a Church or Business. Each state is different, but you will register yourself as a Minister within the county you live in, or the county you will be practicing your ministry in.
Once you are registered in your county, you are registered for the entire state. But not for any other state. Being a Licensed Minister, authorized to conduct weddings, is a state by state thing. You generally can’t register in a state you don’t have residence in. I am registered in Virginia. But I have a lot of family in North Carolina, friends in Maryland and more family in Tennessee. If I’m asked to officiate a wedding in one of those states or any other state, it’s easy enough to apply for temporary recognition.
Each state allows for temporary registration for a specific day. Usually the day of the wedding and with the county where the wedding is being held. You should do this 10 to 15 days prior to the service, or earlier if possible. Check with the state you’re going to. Some have requirements for when you can or must register. But you don’t want to wait till the wedding arrives and find out you can’t because you waited too long. Continue reading

Moments Of Beauty

It’s important to take a moment throughout the day to be Mindful of what you’re doing and how it resonates with your soul, spiritual mission and mental outlook. Both for a state of being and for a sense of living your beliefs and putting them into practice. ~ A Sunday Homily: Mindfulness
