Springwolf’s Message Board

Charles Alexander – Eye Of The Hunter

So You’re Not On Facebook…

It’s ok, sometimes I wish I wasn’t either! I resisted getting on FB for a long time. When the book was published the first thing the marketing rep asked me was “What’s your id on FB?” When I said I didn’t have one, she said get one…grrr…and I was forced into the depths of social medial hell!  =D

There are a lot of people who are still resisting. I say keep up the fight! But don’t let that stop you from finding a nice social online community. Back during the Mid-Summer festival on June 21, 2000 I started a message board for my education website Pagan’s Path. Long before blogging was the big popular thing. The following year the hosting company sold their business to another larger corporation called Yuku. On November 27, 2001 the message board was reborn and has been up and running ever since.

The Message Board has been revamped and updated to welcome anyone who would like participate in discussions without becoming a FB member. You do have to sign-up to post, but that’s free.

There’s a lot of stuff out there on the message board from the early days. But I hope we can share new insights, questions, tales and stories here too.

So come on over to “Springwolf’s Pagan’s Path Message Board“, introduce yourself to the community that’s already there and share a thing or two!

I had the great pleasure in sitting down with Dayna and Patricia recently to discuss my book on their radio program Isis Paranormal. This week, Dayna offers her assessment of the book and recommendation.

Readers who take up “Pagan Metaphysics 101” will find that the author writes in a passionate, clear voice and her book simplifies metaphysical concepts. What makes “Pagan Metaphysics 101” an exceptional book is that the author encourages her readers to explore their religious beliefs and to define their religious values, not based upon the understandings or theories of others, but on what one intuitively feels or senses is right.

You can read the complete review @ An Introduction to Pagan Metaphysical Concepts in ‘Pagan Metaphysics 101’

Once In A Blue Moon

Aug29

The Blue MoonHistory, Significance and Ritual

The moon in all it’s phases have long been important and significant to Pagans. Many call the Moon GrandMother Moon who shines over Mother Earth and watches over her during the night. Only giving way to Father Sun during the day. He is seen as Mother Earth’s consort and he watches over her during the day.

Of course GrandMother Moon can show up in daylight hours, to keep an eye on her grand children from time to time as well.

Pagans have honored the full moon in ritual, both private and public for eons. We have acknowledged her influence over our lives each month and used her light for varying reasons and in varying ways. Continue reading →

Lose The Attitude – Compassion Doesn’t Come From Accusations or Anger

Aug27

Control Your EmotionsJust because you’re not in tears and falling to your knees under the stress of hardship; doesn’t mean you’re not screaming inside like a raving lunatic!
~ Springwolf

The Hypocrisy Of Spiritual People

NEVER Judge a book by its cover. Some people keep worry, stress and anxiety inside where it destroys every fiber of their being. You may never see the tears, the shaking hands, or the constant worry on their face or the sounds of struggle in their voice. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Are you a spiritual person who “Walks Their Talk”? Or are you a spiritual person in name only who’s actions fall back on old patterns of emotional drama? Continue reading →

What Is Remote Viewing?

Aug21

MeditationIs It Really Something You Can Learn?

This is the ability for a psychic to gather information about an item hidden from their physical view, often at a long distance. The term was introduced by Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff in 1974.  A large market for lessons and services popped up around this term, especially since it’s been incorporated into modern day entertainment mediums. There have been books, businesses and claims made by “teachers” about gifts and abilities to accurate view remotely and provide information about objects and items.

The problem with this is…Remote Viewing isn’t new or special or something that has just been discovered in the waning years of the last century. It’s a phrase used for marketing and selling services and goods.

The Concept
In actuality this is a very common ability practiced by everyone on the planet. Yes I mean everyone. Being psychic isn’t unique or a power that only some possess. Everyone is psychic to some degree. Some of us are more aware of this 6th sense than others and we’ve learned about it, learned to develop it and use it on a daily basis. Many people say they have a gut feeling about this or that, or they have an intuition about certain things. These phrases are simply another way of saying you’re tapping into your psychic or 6th sense ability.

Have you ever lost your keys and tried to stand in your living room to “see” where they are? That’s what this is all about. Nothing more, nothing less. The more connected you are to your psychic senses, the easier it is for you to connect to an item and see what it is, or where it is, or gather information about it. Continue reading →

The Correspondence Of This and That

Aug15

The Meaning Behind Correspondence Lists

Think For Yourself

People have been making associations between all sorts of things in life, in spirit, and in nature, for thousands of years. Partly because of the belief that all things are connected and interconnected. Partly because humans want to believe that there’s meaning behind everything that happens.  Therefore it makes sense that some things work together, in a similar manner, in a supportive direction, or for a common purpose. But why are there so many contradictory lists?

Why do some people say a black cat is bad luck and others say it’s a good omen? Why do some people say red is anger and others see it as passion? Why do some insist that the cardinal direction for North represents Divine Energy and others insist that the Divine is located in the East?

The answer is pretty easy actually and we can thank Einstein for putting it in scientific terms. Everything is relative to location.

Your location in the world, the evolution of the culture you live in, the history of your society, even the spiritual beliefs practiced in your region can all play a part in defining a list of correspondences that may come across your path. Simply put, how you relate to the world around you and how you feel connected to the “this or that” in your life, all depends on where you are and the beliefs you choose to follow.

A Reiki Master’s Hanko Seal

Aug13

My Personal Hanko

A Personal Symbol of Empowerment

In Japan, seals in general are referred to as inkan or hanko. The first evidence of writing in Japan is a hanko dating from AD 57, made of solid gold and belonging to the Emperor. At first, only the Emperor and his most trusted vassals held a hanko seal, as they were a symbol of the Emperor’s authority. Noble people began using their own personal hanko after 750 AD, and the Samurai began using them sometime in the Middle Ages. At the time, the Samurai were permitted exclusive use of red ink for their hanko impressions. Modernization of these seals began in 1870, and the hanko finally came into general use throughout Japanese society. 

Traditionally, inkan and hanko are engraved on the end of a finger-length stick of stone, wood, bone, or ivory, with a diameter between 25 and 75 millimeters (1 and 3 in). Their carving is a form of calligraphic art. The most common form of this calligraphic art is the Japanese Kanji — the Chinese script.

They are still used in Asia for professional and personal purposes. Most requiring registration with local government offices much like a trademark. Continue reading →
