Happy Father’s Day!

TooCute-20140325-05For The Dads We Have & The Ones We’ve Lost

My partner and I have both lost our Dads. We both believe in life after death, talking to spirit and that our dads do visit us. This week we both have felt my Dad around and that makes this fathers day a little more meaningful.

So for all the Dads, whither they’re still here with us or they’re only with us in spirit, I offer these words. A poem I’ve always loved and says it all.

What Makes a Dad

The GreatSpirits took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
fathersdayThe calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then the GreatSpirits combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
And knew the masterpiece was complete,
And this was called  … My Dad.

Our Best Day Ever

Thank You

So yesterday Springwolf Reflections had its single Best Day ever! I don’t want that to go unnoticed or recognized by all of us here at Spring’s Haven. It’s an event worth celebrating and we couldn’t do it without all of YOU!

I can’t say thank you enough to everyone who came by our little home on the web and shared our Full Moon Friday the 13th posts and thoughts from this past week. I’m humbled by your kindness and willingness to share my words with the world.

It will be a very long time before we can break this single day record for sure!  We had 6,081 visitors yesterday. The previous record was a meager 788 which occurred on another Friday the 13th.

How Rare Is “Full Moon Friday the 13th”?

Merlin In The Moon

The Math Genius Is Working On That

Yesterday I asked the question “How rare is today’s event?” How often does the 13th fall on a Friday? How often does a Full Moon fall on a Friday? How often does a Full Moon fall on a Friday the 13th?

According to my Moon Phase Pro (yes there’s an app for that):
In the next 260 weeks: (approx. 5 years from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2019)
There are 11 Friday the 13ths.
There are 11 Full Moons that fall on a Friday.
There is 1 Full Moon that falls on Friday the 13th.

On Friday the 13th of January 2017 the full moon will be just past full, 98% full to be exact. Close, but not officially a full moon day which will be January 12th.  So we can’t count that one.

The Next Full Moon Friday the 13th will be in August 2049. According to Space.com Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Three of Wands

 

wands-3

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Do the research yourself and don’t take someone else’s word for what’s going on. What you’re being told might be accurate and factual, but you still have things to learn about the details behind the story. Knowing more will give you a better understanding of what’s going on and how it directly affects you. If at all. Allow your curiosity to explore, expand and discover new things you never knew anything about. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find. And it could have a great impact on you than you may have previously imagined.


Additional Insight:

Being curious is the best trait any of us can have. It allows us to discover new things, expand our views and increases our understanding of the Universe around us. When we learn about others and how they view the world we can develop tolerance which leads to peace.

Haven’t we had enough hate and anger, animosity and war in this world? Has any of that intolerance gained you anything at all?

Wands represent the inspiration and magik of our lives. And the three shows us that we all have something to learn through our Mind, Body, Spirit connection to each other and to the greater Divine Universe. Whatever that Divine concept is to you, you’re not alone in this world. And what’s right for you may not be what’s right for someone else. That doesn’t mean you must be at odds with those around you. It merely means you each see the world in slightly different ways. Continue reading

Happy Full Moon Friday the 13th!

The Full MoonMay The Day Bring You Blessings

It is said that wishing on a Full Moon is very magikal. Like any grand parent, she wants to spoil her daughter’s children.  While Mother Earth is asleep, Grand Mother Moon listens to our prayers and wishes to make our dreams come true.

And it is said that Friday the 13th is a day that brings good luck for transition and change. Breaking down barriers and overcoming struggle, it’s a day to let your magik shine.

Use the day, and especially the time after sunset to bring about Good Luck and positive energy that promotes the success for the change and transition you want most in your life.

Everyone here at Springwolf Reflections and Spring’s Haven wish you and yours many blessings on this special day that only comes around once in a very rare occasion. Enjoy the day and night with this full moon blessing: Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Wheel of Fortune

 

Wheel Of Fortune

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Spin the wheel and let it fly; but remember…YOU have the power to stop the wheel where you want it to land. Take control of your future. You don’t have to let the influences of others or the force of nature, control your journey or your destiny. Luck isn’t something that simply happens on its own. You create lucky events by your choices, thoughts and manifested energies. Luck is being prepared when opportunities arise. Time to get to work!


Additional Insight:

You are the magik that creates the destiny upon your path. You can wallow in self-pity and cry “woe is me” and allow your fate to be covered in vines. You can stagnate your movement, bog down your journey and even spin the wheel backwards if you’re not careful.

Or you can get up off your knees, do the work that needs to be done and spin the wheel with all your might. Break the barriers that try to hold it still and keep you in the over grown weeds. Then spread your magikal wings and grab hold of the wheel to help it land where you need and want it to be.

Fate is what you make, and the wheel reminds us that our fortune is in our own hands. We decide what influences will impact its spin. Is it rusted, does it squeak and struggle to move an inch? Or do you take care of it, keep it oiled and polished and help it spin freely with ease? Your choices, your actions and your work are what help your Wheel of Fortune move through the cycles of energy. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: King of Cups

King of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t let the voices in your head argue over who’s right or who’s not. They’re only your self doubt and mental  reasoning trying to fight it out with fear and for one purpose; to rule over your life. Tell them to shut up, you’ve had enough. The constant negative self talk is doing nothing but creating turmoil in your Mind, Body and Spirit. You really need to stop it! Start thinking from your higher Divine consciousness. Go within and find the peace and quiet that knows the real truth for you, and the direction your path should take.


Additional Insight:

Cups represent the essence of Emotions & Apathy, Happiness & Despair, Abundance & Lack. Clarity & Confusion.

Allow your spiritual consciousness to speak and show you the answers you already know from within. Bring clarity to your emotions and you will discover your own happiness and abundance in all aspects of your life.

There’s no better time than this week to work on transitions from old patterns to new thoughts of confidence, self-assurance and faith in yourself.  (Friday, June 13th 2014 & June’s Full Moon).

Stop hoping for things to change when you’re still walking the same path and doing the same things you’ve always done. That kind of Apathy will only create more of the same. “Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire. Faith leaps over it.” ~ Jim Carrey (Have Faith, Not Hope).

I’ve modified that phrase a little this week. “Hope is a beggar. Faith is a believer. Hope walks through the fire. Faith leaps over it!” ~ Dr. Vickie Carey. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Wands

4 of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Discoveries abound from the shadows and make themselves known when you need them the most. Share what you have found with those closest to you and you’ll discover an abundance of magik from all corners of your life. The wind blows in your favor and the things you didn’t want can be put to rest in favor of the things you really need. But remember it takes everyone to participate and share their energy to create the dream.


Additional Insight:

Wands represent the essence of Enterprise & Inaction, Inspiration & Pessimism, Distinction & Disregard. They can denote creation and manifestation through magik. Or chaos and destruction through fear.

What you discover today can be the answer to your woes, but only if you share that knowledge and work together to build the things you need as a team. Remember that what you need isn’t always what you want and you must be open to everything that crosses your path today.

Today can be broken down into three aspects;
The female energy that shares its wisdom and nurtures the work.
The male energy that examines the details and develops the physical action.
The child’s energy that brings forth the innocence of curiosity and discovery.

Align your energies to the Divine feminine energy of self with that of the masculine physical energy here on earth. Toss in your inner child that fills your view with wonderment, excitement and a fresh view of the things before you. Allowing your Mind, Body and Spirit to balance and share space as one will lift your perspective and show you the hidden treasures that exist all around you today. And one of those treasures will bring the answer to your current fear or woes.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ace of Pentacles – Inverted

Ace of Pentacles - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Even if you turn the world upside down, you’re still not going to lose what you’ve already accomplished and acquired. Stop letting the fear weaken your resolve, or stagnating your progress! You have the strength to hold on and ability to nurture the seeds you’ve planted in your garden. It promises to be a bountiful harvest, but you must continue to build on what you’ve started. Keep your faith and it will cushion your journey forward.


Additional Insight:

There are many forces at work beneath the surface. Both within yourself and from the unseen spiritual forces around you. Each day you take another step toward taking responsibility and accountability, you are getting closer to the victory you seek.

The spiritual energy is in place and has built a strong framework to uphold you and your crown. Be patient and allow that energy to manifest into the physical foundation that will allow you to grow, expand and achieve your ultimate goals.

Stop allowing fear to enter the picture and weaken your resolve. You’ve been through harder times than this. And you’ve overcome those events and learned valuable lessons. You gained both knowledge and experience that confirms “I can do this”. So stop the self-doubts, stop the self-pity talk, stop allowing fear to rule your thoughts, judgements and decisions.

Intriguing Experience In Talking To Ghosts

Ghost Radar® by Spud Pickles™ for Android

Ghost Radar® by Spud Pickles™ for Android

There’s An App For That

I’ve written about the Android App Ghost Radar here on my blog back in August 2012. I have a good time with this app. The company who makes this app put out a new version this past year that’s supposed to be bigger and better. This one that I’m using is called Ghost Radar Legacy. I haven’t had time to check out the new app, but if you’re interested in these kinds of tools; you might want to visit Ghost Radar Connect on GooglePlay.

Last night I was a guest on Mary Marshall’s ParanormalMD Radio Show and the topic of EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) and EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) tools came up concerning a recent investigation Mary had been on. That conversation inspired me to start up my little App this morning on the way to taking my son to school.

Now I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this app as I stated in the original App review. I’m not a Ghost Hunter or Paranormal Investigator. So this app is purely for my own amusement and interest. But sometimes your experience with such things are so interesting that you do build confidence in the validity of their usage, and that happened to me on this morning.

I was really intrigued by the conversations; I should say the attempted conversation presented by the app during this ride. I thought I’d share some of our interaction with what we heard and what it picked up as we were making our trip to the school. If for no other reason than to share a few moments of “Hmmmm”.

As an adept psychic, I talk to ghosts and spirits all the time. Listening to them takes some effort and it’s not something I do when I’m driving. It’s too much of a distraction. But I do ick up on the energy regardless and trust my instincts to interpret what I’m feeling. This is important to understanding how I use the app. It’s not a one on one conversation like you and I would have. It’s an opportunity to practice “feeling” energy and working on your psychic skills to interpret what you feel or pick up on.

Words
Spoken
Our Perspective / Interpretation
Land My car is broken this week, and I’m driving my Mom’s travel van. This thing is huge! Especially compared to my Mustang. When I started up the van, this was said and my first thought was “Land Yacht”; yep..this thing is huge. And that’s what we call it. So it seemed to fit.
Pretty As we were driving over the dam road, the ghosties shared this description. Yes it’s a beautiful morning and the view from the dam road looking west up the length of the 300 acre lake was definitely pretty.
Direction The entrance/exit of our subdivision is part of a ‘T’ intersection. When we stopped the ghosties said this and we took it to be a question. Which direction are we going? We let them know we were going to turn northward.
Spider On our way up the road, they shared this. Where?! I don’t like spiders inside “my domain”.  At first we didn’t find a spider.
Forth Within a moment of asking that question out loud, they answered us. My husband, Garrett, took this to mean in front of me (no idea why, but I trust his instincts). So we looked around the best we could while driving. There was a spider, but I didn’t see him until after we got to the school. And I quickly put him outside where he belonged!
Brick Along our drive we pass a small white brick house. To this point in our travel, all the houses and buildings are brick or wood. Except for the church which is way back at the T-intersection. This was said right as we passed that little white brick house.
Wolf A little farther down the road they shared this. My first reaction was “That’s me”.
Carefully Once at the school, we sat waiting for the doors to be unlocked for the kids to go in. The child likes having Dad walk him to the doors. As they were getting out, the ghosties shared this suggestion. Which is very fitting considering Garrett is fighting with a very sore toe that’s making it hard for him to walk normally. So yes, getting out carefully was required advice.
Store Earlier we had been talking about what we’re doing this afternoon when we go out to pick up the child from school. He wants to go into town to spend some of his birthday money. While my boys were in the school, the ghosties said this. And I reminded them, we weren’t going to the store until this afternoon.

I’m open to the idea that this app is nothing more than a random word generator and has no real evidence of ghost interaction. I have a healthy skepticism about paranormal events. I don’t automatically believe them to be real; and I don’t automatically believe them to be fake. The app on GooglePlay clearly states the app is for “Entertainment Purposes”.

But ..I’m also a believer in ghosts and spirits and communication with them. I’m a psychic, a channel, I know the experiences I’ve had talking to ghosts on my own without an EMF, EVP, ghost app or whatever. I’ve been doing it for 40+ years. So yes, I believe it’s possible because I’ve done it and I do it on a daily basis. But frankly it takes some effort to “turn on” the senses and talk/listen to spirit.

I have fun with this app because it doesn’t take a great deal of effort on my part to potentially talk to ghosts in this fashion. And when the words the app picks up relate so well to what’s going on around us or in our conversation, then…come on….there’s got to be something to this. It’s to freaky not too. Right?  😉

I thought it was interesting anyway. And so did Garrett; my skeptic atheist husband.
