Many Thanks and Blessings
A Special Gift
Families all over the world are struggling in these hard economic times. People give up little things in order to make ends meet. As things continue, they find themselves giving up even more and still it’s not enough.
Nearly everyone has been touched in some way in these hard times. Some more than others. Some have lost so much that they find something in their life to hold on to that gives them the strength to get them through.
What that thing is will be different for each person. For some it’s their children or a beloved pet. For others it’s a decadent pleasure, maybe the ability to have a bottle of coke at lunch or that special cup of coffee in the morning. Continue reading
I’d Like To Say – Thanks For The Visit
I logged onto my blog this morning to a nice and interesting notice. Well at least it was interesting to me. There’s been “A Spike in your stats”.
I’m honored and thrilled that so many folks around the world have come to visit Springwolf Reflections to learn about The History of Friday The 13th – A Good Day For Pagans.
I must admit I had to ask the math genius in my house to explain the numbers. I’m a visionary, not a calculus expert! He works with calculations all day, every day so he understood this right away. Continue reading
Complaining on FB and Social Media Doesn’t Get It Done
Whatever your position is on Syria, make your voice count instead of merely talking about it on social media. You can share stories, post tweets, rant and rave on message boards. But those communications do nothing to express your view to your Congressional Representatives or the White House. Get involved and do something about how you feel so that it makes a difference.
You can make your view count by contacting your representatives in Congress. If you don’t know how to do that, you can email them through their contact forms.
To email the President you’ll need to fill out the White House Contact Form.
To find your Congressional representatives, go to their websites at:
Find your Senator at senate.gov,
Find Your Congress-member at house.gov
Both congressional sites allow you to find your representative through a search in the top right hand corner of the page of each site.
I’m against military action and I urge others to support diplomatic efforts be exhausted before any violent action take place. If you need an example of what to send, try this:
To The Honorable (enter their name here)
As a constituent, I am writing to let you know that I oppose any military action in Syria.
I realize in today’s world violence against citizens by its government must be addressed. But the moral response is not to meet violence with more violence. Creative diplomacy is the best way to respond to the alleged use of chemical weapons. I urge you to work for a ceasefire, to pressure Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, and Turkey, to halt the flow of weapons, and to pressure Russia and Iran to do the same.
Sincerely,
You name
I hope you’ll take time to get involved and make your voice heard.

An Increased Concern
I’m trying to go through eMail this week that has been piling up over the past two months. Every now and then a trend will develop from eMail questions or requests for information that I feel needs to be brought out on a larger or more visible stage.
Over the past two months I have received a lot of emails concerning Reiki fakes and frauds. How to spot someone who’s fake or who’s operating in a fraudulent manner is a concern for any profession. But it’s one that’s easily purported in the spiritual arts.
I’ve written several articles that I hope have helped people spot frauds, charlatans and people claiming to have knowledge they haven’t truly obtained. You might want to check out the What Is A Spiritual Expert – Series.
The bottom line is, if you visit with someone claiming to be an expert at anything, you have the right to ask them questions about their training and knowledge. You have a right to ask to see their certifications. And that’s true no matter what professional field they are part of. Be it a medical doctor, lawyer, accountant or any form of spiritual service.

Divination, Healing & Counseling Consults with Skype
Spring’s Haven On-Line Services
We are pleased to announce the expansion of our On-Line Services to Skype.
What is Skype? Skype is a software application that enables users to chat over the internet for free. If you have a computer you can share a conversation with another Skype member for free. The Skype software is free and available for both Mac and PC. For more information about Skype check out the available Skype Downloads.
Spring’s Haven offers online services through email, phone and now Skype consultations for divination, healing and spiritual/pastoral counseling. We also offer email consultations for our long distance healing sessions and we’re working out the details to provide Skype consults for those too.
We are reaching out to help make consultations easier and more accessible to anyone and everyone around the world. With Skype to Skype consultations you get the same communication through Skype audio (no video yet) with your counselor from the convenience of your own home.
Initially we are only offering Skype to Skype audio with plans to expand to video conferencing and Skype to land-line or cell phone consultations sometime within the next year. If you’d like to set up a person to person consultation, visit our On-line Services webpage.
All Consultations are private and strictly confidential.

The Pagan’s Path ©
Party Opportunity
Sometime in the past few months here my original pagan website site “The Pagan’s Path” surpassed 500k Visitors & I didn’t notice. Well I would have Partied!!
PagansPath.com is a free spiritual education site. Offering online information and studies to those on a path of enlightened growth. Whether you’re Pagan, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim or traveling on any other spiritual path, learning about other beliefs and ways, will teach you how similar we all really are. And how our differences are nothing to fear.
This information is shared in the hope of opening one’s heart to the blessings of tolerance and acceptance to those who have chosen to walk on the Pagan Path.
PagansPath.com was born from what we called the “SpringIce Network” Established On October 2, 1996 as an original AOL website. Wow that was a long time ago. As AOL evolved so did our intent to share information. And so was my life.
I separated from my first husband, the “Ice” part of SpringIce and moved on. Since he had never participated in our original site, I evolved the name and The Pagan’s Path was born on Ostara 1999.
Tonight I noticed the counter on the site. It’s been a while since I thought about that part of the site. But this evening my son and I were looking at our blogs and comparing visitors. Which had me thinking about Pagan’s Path. It was both exciting and sort of sad that I hadn’t paid attention to such a milestone number as 500,000 visitors.
I’m celebrating today though, in my own little way. Time really does fly when you’re having fun!

“Arctic Wolf Fire”
By Tom-in-Silence
The Summer Fire Festival
Whether its Lughnasadh for Celtic paths or Lammas for Wiccan paths, the summer fire festival is always a fun event to honor the changing seasons!
As with most things on the pagan calendar, different traditions celebrate and recognize seasonal festivals at different times of the year. Here in the northern Hemisphere, Lughnasadh is recognized on August 1st or 2nd. It’s the time to recognize and honor Gratitude, Abundance, and bring things to Fruition (Getting it done!)
In the Southern Hemisphere this is the time for Imbolg, the Festival of Lights, when honoring the goddess Brigid and Purification, Initiation, and Dedication to one’s path is recognized.
There are many ways to give thanks and honor during this 1st harvest festival. It celebrates the warmth of the sun, the rain and the faery folk who help tend to the gardens, flocks and fields. As a Celtic festival of the harvest, what better way to give thanks than to prepare a meal with the harvest of your own garden.
Which ever holiday you observe, may it be a wonderful and blessed celebration!
From all of us here to all of you;
Merry Lughnasadh & Imbolg!!

Amazon’s Author Central
This week I gained access to my Author Central page on Amazon. The Author Page on Amazon.com provides a handy place for customers to learn about authors and the books they have written.
It gives authors a place to share the most up-to-date information about themselves and their works with millions of readers. It does this by providing an easily accessible area to learn about an author through their biography, photos, blog, and more directly on Amazon.com.
For author’s it provides inside information, such as timely sales data for free, including sales trends over time and where in the US your books are selling.
You’ll find my Amazon Author page here:

Spring’s Educational Experience
This month I’ve received four emails and two Facebook contact messages about my thoughts on the programs at the University of Sedona and the University of Metaphysics. I’m excited there’s an increase in interest this month. Perhaps because of the continual negative or bad news we’ve seen here in July, people are looking for spiritual answers and inspiration. At least I hope so.
Anyway, I thought it might be helpful for those searching for information to merely add a page here on my blog so they can find it in their research. And hopefully it answers the questions more easily.
So I’ve added a new page in the about section “Spring’s Educational Experience” that addresses the common questions I’ve been asked over the years, and especially this month.
I hope it helps those looking into enrollment. If you’re looking into these Universities and you do enroll, I wish you all the success and achievement you set for yourself. And I hope the program you choose meets all your personal goals.
