and Join Us Live!

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST

The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

Join Paul Cagle and his co-hosts Sushi and Springwolf as we share our research, knowledge, insight and humor. Be part of the Ænigmite Crew and play “Truth or Tale”. And add your opinion or thoughts as we discuss the strange or paranormal news of the day.

You can join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. Or simply listen to the show LIVE!

11/25 Our Topic: Reverse Speech
Advocated by David John Oates, Reverse Speech is known as a pseudoscience. It claims that during spoken language production, human speakers subconsciously produce hidden messages that give insights into their innermost thoughts. Does our conscious mind direct our spoken word to place hidden messages in our speech that betrays our underlying motives? Can it be used in psychology, criminology or in business dealings? We’ll discuss the theory, application and play a few examples from our own experiments to test the concept.

You can join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. If you don’t want to join the chat, you can still listen live on your pc or Smartphone. Pick your favorite place and come listen to the show:

A Sunday Homily – Believe In Yourself

Nov10

Believe In Yourself!

Learn To Handle The Pressure

It’s not just something ministers try to teach for spiritual enlightenment. It’s also a big part of any competitive sport or business management course. Believing in yourself is a practice that crosses all avenues of life and can provide strength, endurance and success over nearly every challenge we face.

Bob Rotella is a sports psychologist. I learned about him through a Nascar segment that looks at the inner workings of drivers and teams. Yeah, of all places? Yep..even Nascar teams face pressure and challenges to be successful. Bob helps people find their true potential in life, said many of these auto-sports professionals. Many people are “normal” and good at what they do. But many want to take it to the next level. Especially professional athletes. But they’re not the only people who are looking for the keys to success or to help them deal with the pressures of life and attaining the success of their dreams and goals. Continue reading →

Get Out And VOTE!

Being A Responsible Citizen

Here in the U.S. we are having mid-term elections. To some this is more important than the vote for President. Why? Because the mid-terms help to determine what happens in Congress and how our country is best served by its political leaders.

This isn’t an editorial about politics, so I won’t go into specific details about which party is better, or who needs to be ousted. What’s important today is that you get out and vote!

There are a huge many reasons people don’t get out and vote. They’re too busy. They aren’t excited about either candidate. The weather is too bad to get out in. Their vote doesn’t really matter. And nothing ever gets done, anyway.

In our current political environment, there’s the negative tone of campaign ads thrown at the electorate day and night. The majority of TV ads don’t try to persuade voters to support one candidate, but rather to convince them not to back the other guy.

So why should we be part of the process? Because we don’t want to be part of the problem. And keeping silent does that.

The Shield of Success

Seize The Day

Visualizing and Creating A Shield of Success

Everyone has a dream, a desire or a goal for their life. Those that succeed and attain their goals work hard for them. Sometimes it may appear as if they’ve had everything handed to them. If their road has been made easier and their path paved the way to their achievements, they may have earned that golden ticket. Karma is an interesting thing, but sometimes good karma does come back and reward you for your actions.

Simply because someone else had it easy, doesn’t mean their success diminishes or impacts your ability to achieve the same thing. There maybe underlying spiritual reasons that they’ve had it easy and you need to work a little harder. But your lessons are more important to you and your life, than what they have done or did to earn the golden ticket. It’s up to you to take some time and learn what you need to in order to keep the ball moving.

One thing I’ve learned about people who have achieved success is that they never give up. No matter what wall is set before them, they look for a way to climb it, break it down or even find another way around it. But they never let the wall stop them and say “Oh well, I guess this is as far as I go.”

Sometimes that means looking for solutions outside the norm, or thinking outside the box. When I started Spring’s Haven I took a few business classes to get a good understanding about what it takes to start a small business. Continue reading →

Have A Spooktacular Day!!

Merry Samhain & Happy Halloween

Today is a day to let the child inside come out to play. Nothing wrong with having fun and letting yourself play a little.

Halloween has become a secular holiday for Trick or Treat and nothing else. It’s not a Pagan holiday and it’s no longer a Christian holiday. So let the children play and have some unencumbered fun!

Once the children have had their fill at play, you can focus on the spiritual aspects of the day. For Pagans that means honoring Samhain.

Whither you use the Gaelic pronunciation “Sow-en”, “Sow-ween”, Sah-ween” or the Americanized version “Sam-hain” (yes that is an acceptable pronunciation), it’s still the biggest holiday on the Pagan Calendar. We honor the Celtic New Year with ritual and reverence to honor the spirits of the past and the doorway that has been opened for this one night to communicate with those we’ve lost.

From everyone here at Spring’s Haven, we wish you a very Happy Halloween, a Merry Samhain and a Happy New Year!

You can learn more about The History Of Samhain And Evolution of Halloween here on Springwolf Reflections 🐾.

The Spirituality Of The Tarot

Oct22

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

An Increase In Interest

Over the past few weeks I’ve received an unusual number of emails asking for information about the tarot, their history and general overview. I’m not sure what has sparked this increased interest, but I’d like to know. Was it a TV show? A movie? A new popular book?

Whatever the reason, I thought it would be easier to reply to those notes in a post that hopefully folks can find through an online search. I hope this provides some quicker answers than waiting for me to get through my email.

A Basic Overview
They are called the messengers of the Divine, the window to Universal Law and the sacred symbols of the higher consciousness. Whatever their auspicious synonym, the Tarot has been mentioned in ancient texts for over 35,000 years.

One such text, from the Hermetic Kabbalah, tells of 108 stone tablets that lay beneath the ancient pyramids at Giza. 78 of these tablets are called the Exoteric Tarot, the remaining 30 are the Esoteric Tarot. This text goes on to say, that one day these tablets will be uncovered and will explain Universal Law and the soul’s path through the cycle of rebirth. Continue reading →

10/21 Our Topic: Ghosts, Ghouls and Goblins
Tis that time of the season where the trees burst with color, the air grows cold and nature welcomes the Fall slumber. Where the shadows grow longer as night comes sooner and extends its darkness further into the day. Where ghosts, ghouls and goblins come out to play amongst the Jack-o-Lanterns, black cats and witches hats. Come sit by the bonfire as we talk of Samhain, Halloween, traditions, legends, lore and all things spooky.

Science Studies Universal Consciousness

Oct15

Morphic Fields

One thing about Metaphysics is that we’re generally patient people. We try to go with the flow and allow everyone to believe what they choose. We are all on our own path and at different levels of knowledge and understanding. But it’s nice to finally see Science catching up with us.

As someone who is interested in Metaphysics, I’m also very interested in Physics. So shows that discuss science, astrophysics, psychology often get my attention. I really like “Through the Wormhole” on Discovery, hosted by Morgan Freeman.

This past weekend we found an episode we hadn’t seen. Morphic Fields: Is there an invisible “morphic field” of energy generated by any living thing that directs the bodies of every animal and plant on Earth? This is only a 2min video of the episode.

It’s sad that science has to change the name to something we spiritual people have known about for centuries as “energy fields” but ok, whatever. The premise is animals have a collective consciousness. We see it in the flight of a flock of birds that move as one, a herd of deer or wilder beasts, in schools of fish and a variety of other animals.

Well humans are animals too. Do we have a collective consciousness? Of course we spiritual people say yes. But Science has long dismissed this notion. Until now. Studies are being conducted at several universities around the world to test the idea behind collective thought or prerogative thought that can be measured on the human level. It’s interesting research and it’s another case of Physics finally catching up to Metaphysical knowledge,
