What An Author Does When It Snows

If you haven’t visited Springwolf Reflections lately, you’ve missed a lot. The Snow outside has weighed us down inside where it’s a little warmer. And Spring has been working hard, or fighting the cabin fever. Either way, you might have missed some of the Reflections offered here on her blog!

Just for this month we’ve shared some knowledge, reminders and insights.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Queen of Cups

cups-queen

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Determination will see you through! Stay focused and don’t let the selfishness of others distract you. If they really cared, they would give you the space and time to work on your projects. Or they would offer to help so they could spend time with you. You rule your day as the sovereign of your life. You know what needs to be done and how to accomplish it. Keep your resolve and push through the intense distractions. You’ll be glad you did and you might even be surprised at what you accomplish by sunset.


Additional Insight:

You might have to let go of those who aren’t supportive or encouraging to you. As much as you care about them, they’re lack of reassurance should be a big red flag about their overall character. Those that only think about what they want and don’t think through the consequences of their actions, will not be there for you when things go bad. They’re reckless, self centered view won’t stand up for you when you need them the most. Pay attention and see how much you’re working to make your way in the world; but they’re looking for someone to take from and get a free ride through life. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Empress

The Empress

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It’s time to be a parent and get ready to give birth to new ideas. The old ones may not be working so well for you right now. So be open to new ideas, new information and new perspectives. Listen to others who have your best interest at heart. That doesn’t mean you have to take their advice; but their counsel might inspire you to devise a solution to a long-standing block and get things moving again. Get to it. Time is of the essence!


Additional Insight:

Are you pregnant? Are you getting ready for the big day when your baby arrives? Some of you might be waiting a little longer than others. And that could be an indication that you don’t have everything in place to take care of your new pride and joy when it arrives! So check your list and get things ready.

If you’re physically pregnant; diapers, wipes, powder and cream to start with. Don’t forget the formula, sanitized bottles, clean cloths and blankets are all a must. The rest can wait as time or finances become available. Or talk to your local hospital and find out what charity resources are available to you. You might be surprised by how many people are there to help! With a large variety of things too.  Continue reading

The First 2014 Equinox – March 20th

A Day Of Balance To Honor The Light and Darkness

A Day Of Balance To Honor The Light and Darkness

Merry Ostara and Mabon

Despite the snow outside our window here in the eastern U.S., this weeks sees the return of astronomical spring. Down south however, our friends in the Southern Hemisphere are welcoming the end of Summer and beginning of Fall.

From everyone here at
Springwolf Reflections and Spring’s Haven

We extend our most joyous wishes
and happiest blessings

to you and yours for a
wonderful and bright
Holiday Celebration!

Are you new to Equinox celebrations?
An equinox occurs twice a year (around 20 March and 22 September), when the plane of Earth’s equator passes the center of the Sun. At this time the tilt of the Earth’s axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun. The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name “equinox” is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, night and day are about equal length. ~ Wikipedia.com – Equinox. Continue reading

Celebrations of the Green Isle

Blessings Of The GreenA Day To Be Proud Of The Green

It’s St. Paddy’s Day here in the U.S. which is much more of a celebration of the Irish and the Green Isle than it is a day to honor a Catholic Saint. And that’s probably a good thing for Celtic Pagans. It allows us to connect with our heritage, honor the old country, the mystical ways of the past through song and celebration. Raise a glass or two of Irish Whiskey or Green Beer and in general have a good time.

But Pagan’s have good reason for not celebrating “St. Patrick’s Day” itself. I wrote about that last year, so feel free to run on over there and check out Why Pagan’s Don’t Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day.

For me today is an Irish Pride Day. A time to bring a bit of the mysticism and folklore of the old days back into thoughts and imaginations of the here and now. Who doesn’t need a little distraction from the stress and grind of the modern world?

So to honor this day of pride and connection, I offer this simple tale of magik and adventure. And I wish you all a very Magikal and Mystical Day of the Green as well.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Cups – Inverted

Five Of Cups-Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stop crying over something that hasn’t even happened yet. All is not lost. But you do have to step up and be accountable today. Take charge and face the music. You might discover things aren’t as dire as you think and you still have some time to fix everything! But you must take action TODAY or it will be too late.


Additional Insight:

You can’t run from your problems or the issues in your life. You must face them head on with confidence and trust that the Divine in your life is pushing you to where you NEED to be. The more you run away or fight against the tide, the harder you will make it on yourself. So stop, just stop!

You made the choices that brought you to this point in your life. Either by thinking with rose-colored glasses, and ignoring the signs that were there. Or simply by taking the option to do nothing when issues came up in the first place. You created this moment in time, ok, what’s done is done. Stop dwelling over what you should have done, could have done or might have done. None of that self negative talk or focusing on the past is going to change things or cause a magikal wand to appear so you can wish it away! Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Death

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

One chapter closes so another can begin. You’ve been searching for change and the door to the new has opened wide and welcomes you in. Walk through it and be excited about the new adventures that await you. Their mysteries will bring more intrigue and curiosity than you can imagine.


Additional Insight:

The only constant in life is, things change. If you’ve hit rock bottom, this is the time things will start picking back up. Hang in there, you’re on the way up. Your perseverance, fortitude and endurance have paid off and things will start getting better. Slowly at first, but then watch out by late summer and fall.

If you’ve been working hard to turn things around or make changes in your life for the better, this is your time as well. You may not have seen a lot of movement up to this point, but remember everything takes a little time to be mixed together and baked in the oven. Listen for the timer, it’s about to go off.

Keep your eyes open for the door to opportunity. It’s coming to you. Some of you have a few details to finish out and send off. Make sure you get it done, because things can’t move forward until you do. You must get it done today, so the energy needed to push things forward has a place to settle on and carry your plan forward. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Wands

Five of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Magik and creative energy are flowing today. Or that might be blowing with vigor and forcefulness. (It’s really windy here). Allow the winds of change to bring you gifts from unexpected sources. It’s a surprise worth accepting and it could really come in handy right about now. But double-check that there aren’t strings attached, that could cost you more than the gift itself. Use your own judgement. You might like the attached conditions. But take a moment to make sure. Remember the devil is in the details.


Additional Insight:

Turn your palms up and welcome the energy of change. You’ve worked long and hard to move forward and make a difference in your own life. So be ready and willing to accept the results of those efforts. Don’t shy away or pull back and miss an opportunity that you’ve been waiting for. But don’t accept the gift without reflection, until you know the whole story.

The surprise might be exactly what you need to take the next step in your journey and expand your efforts. And not all gifts will come with a price attached. But take a few moments to look at the fine print and discover if this one has conditions or requirements that you’re not willing to pay. At least right now. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Pentacles

Six of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be content with what you’ve gathered for now. Things are not as bad as you’re making them out to be. You’ve made it through the harsh winter and soon it will be time to plant a new garden and nurture its growth. But you can begin working on it today. Get everything in place and ready to hit the ground running at the start of April. Whatever needs to be done from inside, you can start doing now. Count the seeds, organize the rows, schedule the dates for the early and late planting seasons. You created the plans, now get to putting them into physical manifestation.


Additional Insight:

The work you do today will make things go much faster in April when the real work needs to begin. Don’t sit back and wait, or waste time over thinking your plans. You’ve worked on those steps, you’ve laid out what you need so get to manifesting them in reality.

If you’re starting a new business, then start filling out the paperwork for the business license. Every state has a small business website that tells you what you need. Get to it. Visit Score.org and find out what free information is available for your state and what links and support they have to follow. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Cups

5 of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stop crying over spilt milk. You can’t change the past and wallowing in self-pity is not going to fix the consequences of your actions. What’s done is done. And you haven’t lost everything. You still have blessings to be thankful for and you still have options to move things forward and into a better situation. Pick yourself up and start working with what you have, instead of focusing on what you lost. Could be, you needed to get rid of the old, to make room for the new!


Additional Insight:

You cannot change the past. You can only change the way you allow the past to affect your present and your future.” ~ © 1989 Springwolf  🐾

Some of the mistakes you make, that push away something you’ve longed for, maybe situations you’ve needed to go through for a long time. Losing what you want is hard. But sometimes you have to lose something in order to make room for what you need. And what you need is often much better and maybe bigger.

We all have a path to follow and a timeline to get it done. When we fight against the tide and slow things down too much, the Divine Universe has a way of kicking us in the pants to move things along. So dwelling on the past and what has already gone under the bridge, will only drag things out even more. Don’t make things worse by trying to hold onto what you’ve already lost. It’s time to let go and move forward. Continue reading
