Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Star

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Others are looking at you to be the star of the show today. Go with the flow and your wisdom will pour out easily. Don’t be afraid to share insights from both sides of the coin either. Sometimes a good debate can bring out the best information from both sides of the topic. Let your light shine and you’ll rise up to the task.

Additional Insight:

You’ve prepared for your presentation, lecture, pitch or job interview. You know the material and you have the authority on your side. Don’t be so nervous about sharing what you know. Fill your heart with confidence and be true to yourself. Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know”, you’re not expected to know everything. So stand on the stage and go with the flow. You’ll shine brighter than you ever have before. You can do this!

A Faery Prayer For Divination

Feb28

Before I pull a card, I have a little prayer I like to say asking the GreatSpirits for help. This is important for any Tarot Reader, whither you’re giving someone a reading, or pulling a card for yourself. As you say your prayer, you should visualize yourself in a clear white light, being protected by the Divine force in your life. You want to set a shield of protection and call in your guides, “God/Goddess” or whatever you feel connected to, for their help and assistance to divine the best and highest message possible..

.Faeries bright
in Faery light
Help me pull the card that is right
Let me see with all my might
the greatest message of insight

I’m fond of the Fae and I talk to them all the time. I see them as mystical messengers of Nature and wise spirits that are favored by the GreatSpirits (my label for the Divine Universe).

I thought I’d share one of my prayers today, for those who may wish to use it, or who can use it as inspiration to create their own prayer for divination.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing – Nine of Cups – Inverted

Feb22

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Wave your flag today and put your mark in the ground. Your hard work and accomplishments are being challenged by others who have not earned the right to be where you are. So make sure those who need to know, are aware of what you have done for them and what areas you preside over. Don’t allow others to push you around simply because you’re nice and respectful. There are times when you do need to show that same kindness and particularly the same respect to yourself too.

Additional Insight:

It’s ok to show respect toward others as long as you’re not doing at your own expense. You are equally important and valuable as anyone else. If you don’t remember that, and act accordingly, how will anyone else see you in the same light. You don’t have to fight back with anger or vengeance. But sometimes it’s helpful to remind others of the hard work you’ve done for them, how you’ve made them look good in their position and what area you have carved out or the domain you have been given management over. Stand up for what you have achieved and don’t let others try to undermine it. You’ve earned it!

Dealing With Grief, Trials and Challenges

Letting Go and Letting the Divine Carry The Burden

“You can’t change the past. You can only change the way you allow the past to affect your present and your future.” ~ Springwolf

What ever the situation, making change to deal with the trials of life, or letting go of the past is not easy. No matter what the situation or what the loss, be it the death of a loved one (animal or human), the loss of a friendship or love relationship, the loss of innocence, allowing drugs or alcohol to control your path or a hurt that has been felt and carried for a long time; our psyche goes through a period of mourning.

In today’s world the line between Psychology, Therapy and Spirituality is growing thinner. Working on the issues in one’s life doesn’t mean throwing out your beliefs, nor does it mean your personal views and spiritual practices will be under scrutiny. Rather there is a growing movement to understand how both the mainstream concepts of therapy can be supported, expanded and enhanced by the spiritual beliefs of an individual. . After all, when more than 80% of the world’s population holds some type of spiritual belief, why wouldn’t we try to understand the human condition from both a physical and spiritual perspective. No matter what that path of spirituality is.

Why we hold onto the past is just as important as why we should let it go and make way for a better future. But it’s hard sometimes to get there from here. We become so used to the pattern of struggle and grief, that it can eventually be all we know. Letting go of that can be scary. But it does no one any good at all, to live in such a place of despair.

Learning to let go doesn’t mean you’re forgetting about the past. It simply means you’re not going to live in those long gone days any longer. It allows you to open the door to the light of the future and welcome in the change, the opportunities and the excitement of the unknown.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing – The Fool

Feb20

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t act the part of the fool today. Double check the ‘facts’ and if you don’t understand something make sure you ask. Others are watching how you handle unexpected situations. Some may not be putting you to the test, as much as they are setting you up to fail. Be skeptical and cautious today.

Additional Insight:

A good dose of skepticism is always a good thing. Read between the lines today and ponder the intent behind the message. Are they trying to sell you something? Are they trying to make their claims seem more valid or legitimate by siting certain phrases, such as “study” or “research”? Make sure you double check the facts, look for the source of the information and determine if it’s truly unbiased. There are still games going on around you that may put you in the center of controversy. Be calm, patient and think through your response BEFORE you make it! Today is not the day to ‘wing it’.

Reflections A-to-Z

The Springwolf Reflections Index

I’ve received a lot of great feedback about my new little blog here. I can’t thank you all enough for your input, encouragement and great ideas. I’ve implemented many of them already; such adding a picture of the card for the Daily Tarot Meditation drawing and posting links on Facebook.

Another great suggestion was to provide an index of the articles. Blogs are great for chronologically listing your posts, but sometimes you have to scroll through a ton of articles to find the one you’re looking for. Thanks to my friend Rayne for that perspective and the suggestion!

Of course I can’t do anything normally and have to put my own little flair on the idea. I create an index that appears on the top menu bar as “Reflections A-Z“. It’s the alphabetical listing of what’s here so far from A to Z.

My New Blog!

Feb4

I’m excited to welcome you to my new blog!

We’re rolling out my new blog this weekend. I feel like a little kid with a new toy. I love it! The team did a great job with the design and set up. And I love that we were able to use my Merlin and bring the wolf more into the picture.

Basically we’ve upgraded my static author’s site and created this interactive version. Now I can share the topics, comments and insights that have been stuck on Facebook, out here in the open world. We began the set-up a few days ago; our official ‘established on’ date was February 1st, 2012. So I’ve been able to add the messages for the daily Tarot Meditation Drawings and the additional insight that’s usually be secluded on FB.

I’m looking forward to the days and months ahead. To sharing news, information, questions & answers. I hope you’ll be a part of the new site and get as much out of as I know I will!

Many Blessings –
Spring

Pep Talks To Help You Be Inspired

Sometimes we get so busy telling others to have confidence in their knowledge and abilities that we forget to do that for ourselves. Why is that?

It doesn’t matter how many years of experience, accolades or good feedback you get from others, if you don’t believe in yourself. We all have doubts and question some of the things we do, our plans or even our dreams. Many try to put those self doubts aside and steamroll our actions forward regardless. But even having them in your subconsciousness work away at your mental or physical being.

Find something that will provide you with the confirmation you need to find that confidence within. Maybe it’s going back to school, or taking a class. Maybe it’s attaining a license of some sort, or working at a particular type of business where you can learn from others you have respect for. Whatever it is for you, start working on it for YOU.

Remember ..ego isn’t always a bad word. As with all things; it’s about balance.

I have written several articles over the years to help give yourself some inspiration, a pep talk or tools to handle stress, fear and anxiety. From ways to create plans and supports, to confidence builders that help you manifest your dreams. YOU can have the confidence within yourself to change for the better and succeed! You really can do this!! Whatever the challenge, whatever the dream; you have the ability to create and manifest success. You merely have to start Believing In You!

Spiritual Inspiration & Thought

We’re just getting started. We hope you’ll stay tuned and come back often to visit.

The world is moving quickly and changes are constantly flying by. The same is true for websites. This year we’ve decided to move my official author site from a generic static website to a blog. This change is very exciting and will allow me to share insight, inspiration, news and discussion on a broader scale than we’ve been providing on Facebook.

I hope you like the new look and will enjoy the greater interaction! I know I’m looking forward to it.

“I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less. And I am one of the seven billion human being. Basically we are the same… your emotion, my emotion, your mind, my mind.., same physical. So I always look [at it] that way. We are the same.”

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
