Spring on Enlightening Radio

A Little Reminder

From time to time I make appearances for lectures, workshops, book signings and interviews. We share the dates, locations and information about these events on the Appearance page here on Springwolf Reflections.

Enlightening Radio posted my latest interview today, available now as a PodCast.

March 15th, 2014 PodCast Released –
Enlightening Radio – Pagan Metaphysics with Springwolf:

You might know some of the Pagan traditions such as Wicca, but there’s so much more to the story and many more traditions than you might expect. We’re walking down the path of not only how Paganism came to be but also investigating the belief systems within these traditions today on Enlightening Radio with Spring’s help.

Spring also helps us to investigate the relationship of Paganism to metaphysics and further, to New Age philosophies. And we’re also covering the essential connections from this belief system to energetic structures, to the natural world, to the relationship with the divine and much more. So much information to cover in an hour but you’ll have a much greater understanding not only of Paganism but how these traditions originally formed and their impact on our world today. Check it out, today or any day on the CoSozo Radio Network.

Enlightening Radio is a spiritually centered talk show that airs on CoSozo Radio Network. The show discusses a variety of topics dealing with spirituality, consciousness, spiritual realms, spiritual beings and much more. With an aim to further our own understanding, we know we won’t always have all the questions, but we are unafraid of having the discussions! Tune in each week as we discuss spirituality, consciousness, religion, and even the paranormal! There are no topics we won’t tackle as we embark on another enlightening conversation!

Life Is A Circle

Mar12

Stop Chasing Your Tail

You can keep going in circles, repeating the same mistakes and spinning your wheels. Or you can release the breaks and start moving forward. Allow yourself to change your habits and learn your lessons to move your circle forward,

Don’t allow the fear held within to be the break that keeps you tethered to the pole and running in circles. Let go of that fear and learn to love yourself. Being alone is a whole lot different from being lonely. You are your own best friend and as long as you have you, there will be no loneliness. You don’t have to have a mate to be happy. Fear keeps you from reaching for your dreams and being inspired to achieve your goals. Fear holds you tight and doesn’t allow you to see that you deserve better and you don’t need to be drawn to those who will not be there for you. Fear keeps you from seeing the negative patterns you put in place every day. If you can’t see the patterns, how are you going to break the ones you don’t like or that put the breaks on your wheel to move forward?

Let go of the fear and allow the circles of your life carry you into a new day of brightness.

Spring Will Be Appearing on Enlightening Radio

March 15th

This week I was asked to appear on Enlightening Radio. A show of enlightenment on the CoSozo network. I truly enjoyed the conversation with host Christine Andrew. She is a very knowledgeable woman in her own right and we were able to introduce some new ideas and expand the view and perspectives of those who may not have been exposed to Pagan Metaphysics in the past. I hope you’ll tune into the show, which is available on their website and you can subscribe to the show on iTunes Continue reading →

Be Inspired To Dance YOUR Dance

Resources To Help Get You Inspired & Motivated

We all have days that we want to hide from the world. To get back into bed and dream the day we wish we had. Or hide behind the curtains and watch old movies, eat a pint of ice cream (my favorite is cookies and cream) and try to escape the events of the day. But hiding away doesn’t fix anything.

The ebb and flow of life is generally a normal part of living. Maybe we do need more sleep, a nap might turn things around. Maybe we need to examine what we’ve taken in that nurtured our body and mind. Have you been focusing on junk food? Maybe a healthy meal could give you some energy. Have you been burning the candle at both ends? Wearing yourself down like that makes it much easier for your body to catch even the smallest bug that turns into a big bout with a cold or the flu.

Or maybe you’re spending too much time thinking about the mistake(s) you made and allowing those events to anchor you in the negative energy that won’t allow you to flow out into a better day. Negative self talk is a very common problem with a lot of people. And it can be very destructive for many people. Even those who seem to have it all together.

Some times we need something to remind us of our blessings, or what we should be doing to move forward. Things that help us stay focused and mindful of our thoughts and actions can lessen the valley of sadness. Little inspirations that help boost our desire to dance! Continue reading →

Confidence vs Arrogance

Mar4

When Does Ego Become A Problem

What one person views as confidence, another person will view as arrogance. It’s a fine line that doesn’t exist on a set standard or a measuring tape or in the levels on a scale. It’s not a tangible thing that can be measured for everyone to share and compare. Because it’s based on perspective and everyone’s perception is different.

How you see yourself and your abilities will determine where that measuring stick is for you. Let’s give our stick a range of 1 to 10.

If you hold confidence in yourself, and believe in your abilities, your skill and experience than the bar for achieving arrogance will be set pretty high. Let’s put it around a level of 9 on the arrogance chart.

Consequently, if you’re someone who has self doubts in any or your abilities, skill, knowledge or experience, then your bar for achieving arrogance will be set lower. Let’s put that one at level 6 on the arrogance chart.

If you have self doubts, your always questioning your abilities, skill, knowledge or experiences and you’re unsure if you can do something successfully, then you may have serious confidence issues. Let’s put that down at level 3 on our arrogance chart. Continue reading →

Happy March

Fairy and the Wolf by Islanimation

The Month For Faeries

Just a little reminder that March is the month for Magik and Faery Blessings.

Pixie, leprechaun, faerie, brownie, sprite are all terms for these supernatural beings, thought to be helpful or harmful to people. Faerie is the most general name for such beings: a good faerie is often referred to as a godmother (faerie godmother); but they may also cause misadventures for humans.

Stories and legends of wee magikal folk can be found all around the world. One reason they have so many names and varying characteristics. Some are larger than others, some are more magikal, or come at certain times of the year. Continue reading →

Another Inspiration Reflection

Feb27

What you don’t like about someone else,
Look In A Mirror.

Do You Practice What You Preach?

Today I found a FB Share on my feed that annoyed me. It was an image from an extended family member that attacked people in general who are not Christian and don’t believe in Christ as they do. It made me wonder if some people really understand what it means to Walk the path you Talk. Do you understand how to put into practice what you claim to preach? Or even why do they think they have the corner market on morality, intelligence, being a good person or living a respectable good or positive life?

Now I don’t mean all Christians are like this. I know quite a few who are accepting and loving of all people. They are what I would call true Christians. They practice their faith in every moment of their life without judgement. While others are only “Sunday Christians” or Christian when it suits them. They don’t think about the implications of their actions or words, or FB shares and it doesn’t represent what they would say is a “Good Christian”. They simply push a button and move on.

Reverend Troy Mendez is the Dean of the Episcopal Cathedral in Phoenix Arizona and he said something on Anderson Cooper 360 this week that impressed me: “we believe we are to seek and serve Christ in all people.” You can watch his interview on AC360:Mendez. I highly recommend it for everyone. It’s a beautiful example of what I would call a real Christian. In the interview Rev. Mendez was talking about the Bill in Arizona that allows businesses to discriminate based on their Freedom of Religion. But his comments apply to life in general and in every situation we may face, not simply for this controversial bill. Continue reading →

What’s Your Wolf Name

Feb26

A Moment Of Fun

It’s been a stressful day! This evening I decided to let off some built up energy with a little creativity. I saw a post on FB for finding your Wolf name and thought hmm..I don’t like the words they creator used for such a name. They were fearful, vicious and all the things western cultures have stereotyped wolves to be.

Wolves are regal, mystical and mysterious. They’re spiritual guides, teachers and show us the way into ourselves. Yeah they can often times be a bit randy. That’s because they know how to have a little fun and balance out the seriousness of life. So I decided to create my own Name Game to honor my namesake. This is my version of “What’s Your Wolf Name”. I hope you like it.

Human Tolerance, Respect and Voice

Feb25

Add Your Voice And Speak Out Against All Discrimination & Intolerance

Bigotry Cloaked In Religion Is Still Bigotry

Everyone here at Springwolf Reflections and Spring’s Haven felt the need to make a statement about the recent issues being raised world-wide in the name of “religion” that discriminate against any group or community of people.

As a Pagan Metaphysical organization and group we have stood up against bigotry of all kinds in the past. We believe that all people have value and deserve freedom to live their lives in peace and respect without harm or persecution.

No matter what race, gender, disability, religion or sexual orientation; all people deserve respect and equal protection as humans with rights for liberty and freedom. Continue reading →
