Be Like Water My Friend

Go With The Flow

Go With The Flow

I’ve always loved the idea of flowing with nature. Be it gliding on a breeze, riding the wind, flowing with the water; all those inspirational phrases remind us that when we fight against nature, we’re making things harder on ourselves.

When we can let go of what we’ve already been through, we can stop fighting against the tide and flow with it instead. Like all things in life, we can sometimes simply lay back and float with a calm serenity that gives us time to look around and appreciate the world around us. But sometimes we must get out a paddle and guide our travel through the rocks and avoid the waterfalls that try to cause havoc and set us back to start over again.

Karate Master Bruce Lee has many wonderful insights for moving with the flow, being inspired and living your life to fulfill you spirit within.

Lee was of Chinese decent, but he was born in Chinatown, San Francisco on 27 November 1940. His parents migrated to the U.S. from Hong Kong. But he was raised in Kowloon, an urban area in Hong Kong with his family until his late teens. Though his parents were from Hong Kong, by being born here in the U.S. Bruce Lee carried a dual citizenship. He was born American, even though his parents were not citizens. You can read about his history, up bringing and training at Wikipedia: Bruce Lee. Continue reading →

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 →

Who Are The Pagans

Jul17

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

Jul17

The 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?!

A Few Gems To Share

Recently we have discovered a lot of search requests here on the blog for quotes and sayings. We really don’t have a place to list all the little gems of wisdom that Spring has shared throughout the years. And the increase in this search request got us thinking. Maybe we should have a place for the ones we like the most.

Everyone here at Spring’s Haven and Spring herself, want to say thank you for the inspiration to build this section of the blog. We’re ever so humbled and thankful that some of you have wanted to find more sparkles of wisdom to inspire or share with your family or friends.

So we’ve added a page to the About section of Springwolf Reflections. Come check out what we’ve found lying around here and there. We’ll be adding to the list from time to time as we find a new gems and old.

A Correction – In Full Disclosure

Jul15

OMG, Face Plant!!

Numerological Updates

If you’ve read my blog you know that I often say “no one is perfect” and “we all make mistakes”. Well I made a doosey! And thanks to a visitor who pointed it out; I can correct it!

Geez! It is embarrassing when you make dumb mistakes. It’s worse when you have proof readers who miss it too; and it goes unnoticed or unreported for well, coming up on 2 years now! OMG!

That means wherever I’ve made a post about the Alphanumeric perspective of a number…it’s wrong! Wrong I tell you! Dayum! So now we’re going through the site for the last 2 years and correcting our stupidity! At least I can say “our”…and I don’t feel so alone! 😉

We’ll be adding a link to all the articles that have to be updated here on this post, in case anyone was relying on the information from that particular article. We want you to know it has been updated and corrected. It may take a day or two to find and fix everything, but we will be open, honest and transparent about it.

Admitting your mistakes isn’t always an easy thing. But it is the right thing to do. We could delete the comment from the person who found the error and go about changing things without anyone knowing. But if we did that someone out there might be holding onto erroneous information that directly affects their view or perspective of themselves or their world. And I can’t have that! It’s not the right thing to do and I value both my integrity, reputation and mostly those of you who read our sites and rely on our information too much to do that. So we will be open and honest about our mistake, screw up, stupidity….oh the words we could use! Continue reading →

The 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. Continue reading →
