Catching Up

A Few Little Things Have Been Added

We’ve added a few new articles/pages to the blog today and you may have received some notifications about them. So we thought we’d toot our horn and let you know what we’ve been up to.

Back in late 2011 when Pagan Metaphysics 101 was published, we had a Media Kit for the book. The kit was for news outlets who wanted information, conducted reviews or wanted to have an interview for the book.

We would email the kit to those outlets and then they could do what they needed with them. I didn’t know we did that for everyone who contacted us. Wow! That’s a lot of emailing with some big attachments.

Today we sat down and put all that here on the blog. What’s the point of having a blog if it can’t work for you and make things easier. So if you’ve seen some new posts (we back dated them by the way) in your reader or email, you know what we’ve been doing.

If you don’t follow the blog…..well, why don’t you? You can “Follow Springwolf Reflections” by email and you’ll be notified of new posts/articles/etc. Look for the sign-up section on the right sidebar under the image of the book.

In the meantime, we added a new page called Media Kits along with some pages and images to go along with it.

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST

Heads up – Paul is very sick this evening. So we’re probably going to cancel the show tomorrow night. But you never know…Miracles happen. If you able; I’m sure he’d welcome some positive and compassionate healing to help.

Daniel Dunglas Home

02/24 Our Topic: Defying Gravity and Belief – Daniel Dunglas Home (pronounced Hume)
Daniel Dunglas Home (1833 – 1886) was a Scottish physical medium with the reported ability to levitate to a variety of heights, speak with the dead, and to produce rapping and knocks in houses at will! In 1866 Home was said to have levitated out of the third story window of one room, and back in through the window of the adjoining room in front of three witnesses. Could the elite Victorian witnesses have been fooled by his trickery? Or did he really have an ability that we don’t understand even today?

A Perspective On Tarot

Feb21

What’s Behind The Card

Many people ask me about a particular card in a Tarot spread they laid out the night or week before. What does it mean, what might it be trying to tell them and how should they apply that to their spread? I can’t answer those questions for people. Why? Because they never share the image of the card or the intent behind its placement in the spread.

Many readers today think that the Moon card, for instance, means the same thing in deck A as it will in deck B. It doesn’t. It has a general category, but the meaning of the card is hidden within the images of that card. And since each deck is different, the message in the images will be different.

Additionally, if the card is part of the Major Arcana vs. the Minor Arcana that will also have influence on the meaning and message of the card. In general the Major Arcana deals with the higher consciousness, the spirit, spiritual karma, lessons and the soul’s mission in this lifetime.

Where as the Minor Arcana will be influenced by the physical aspects of day-to-day life. Your thinking process and perspectives and how those attract or repel energy around you. Continue reading →

A Healthy Ego Is Important

The Wise Old Wolf : A Healthy Ego Allows You To Be You

Is The Ego Bad?

Today I saw one of those inspirational FB images and it brought up a thought that I face every week during counseling. It was titled “Overcoming Your Ego” and listed several steps to accomplish that. From my perspective, the steps were overcoming arrogance, or egotism, not ego and that’s an important difference.

The word “ego” has been used as a metaphysical term to describe the self for centuries. By definition it is:
the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought. ~ Dictionary.com

A healthy ego, allows you to be who you are as an individual. It also allows you to be you and let’s you respect others for who and what they are as well. Continue reading →

How Wolves Change Rivers

As humans we know that Apex predators, such as ourselves, can adversely affect the world in which we live in. Over hunting, over fishing and destruction of our natural resources have put humankind on a stopwatch that counts down to our own extinction. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Have a look at this amazing video on The National Geographic website, showing how one species can have a massive cascading effect on the entire ecosystem in which it lives… and even alter the geography of the area. All for the betterment of the area and those in it.

How Wolves Change Rivers @ National Geographic

Human/wildlife conflict is a reality of growing populations around the world, and the fact is that we need to learn to live beside wildlife if we are to maintain our wonderful thriving ecosystems in the future. ~ National Geographic

Sunday Homily: Count Your Blessings

Not Everyone Is As Fortunate As You

We all go through our days taking little things for granted. It’s not unusual, it’s not selfish, it’s not necessarily a bad thing either.

Most people don’t notice how fortunate they are until something breaks or needs to be replaced. If you’re blessed, you simply add an errand to your week and go pick up whatever it was that broke. But not everyone has that luxury. And it’s when you take that for granted, that you may need to be reminded of how blessed you really are.

For some people the toaster that broke yesterday can’t be replaced. There’s no such thing as having an extra $20 to pick up a new cheap toaster at the local discount store. Even that $5 toaster at the local Good Will store is out of reach. That $5 maybe all they have in the world right now, and it’s needed for milk and bread to feed their child. There is no such thing as an “extra” anything to waste on something they don’t absolutely need.

It’s amazing how many times I hear about conversations like this text message on the right. It seems when someone is struggling through every day life, even those around them don’t truly understand what they’re going through. Until they talk about little things that they take for granted.

02/17 Our Topic: Astrology Part 2
Astrology consists of several systems of divination based on the premise that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world. Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and the Indians, Chinese, and Mayans developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations. We’ll talk about systems from Western, Chinese, Cherokee, Celtic cultures and more!

Happy Valentines Day!

Feb14

Love Is…. RESPECT

When I perform a wedding I emphasis that relationships are work. They have hills and valleys. There will be arguments, there will be phases of smitten romance. But the one thing that will carry everyone to a longer term relationship, no matter what kind of relationship it is, will be the respect you hold for each other.

So if you ask me what the definition of Love is; I say, its holding Respect for those you care for.

Smile When You Don’t Feel Like It

Carry Your Happiness With You

I meet people all the time in person, through email or messages, and they share their personal stories of struggle and challenge with me. They talk about feeling lost, feeling as though they’ve hit rock bottom, constantly sad and filled with anger. Not knowing where to turn or go to in order to find help or answers.

I’m blessed with seeing many, if not most of these people go through their “ah-ha” moments as they work forward through issues they never thought they could overcome. They start reading and learning. They begin turning their lives around and making significant changes not only up front in the beginning, but over the long haul with time and effort as well.

I shared something this morning with someone and a little voice said, there are others who need to hear this today. So if you’re one of those people who has had an “ah-ha” moment or you still face challenges and feel that you’re struggling with turning things around in your life, this is for you.
