Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Temperance – Inverted

Temperance: Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

The winds of change are upon you. Stop fighting so hard to keep things the way they were. That old energy does not serve you well today. Open your arms and allow the breeze to fill your wings and lift you up to where you need to be. Let go of the anchors of the past and soar to new heights.


Additional Insight:

Success is within your grasp if you’d only let go of the anger and frustration of the past. In my tradition, yellow is the color of success, green is the color of healing. How you handle the healing within, will determine the flow of success around you for the rest of the week.

Put your mind to the tasks of the here and now. Stop worrying so much about what you don’t know and start focusing on what you need to do. One thing at a time and you’ll discover the steps to take. The more you “do” what needs to be done, the more you’ll realize how much you really do know and the fear you held was pointless.

You have the answers within you. Even if you don’t think you know how to get to them. They will rise up when needed and you’ll discover you knew it all the time. Trust your instincts and believe in yourself!

That’s where letting go of the past comes in. Be satisfied that you took care of what needs to be done and it’s time to seriously walk away. You’ve told yourself you’ve let it go, but recent events have shown that you really haven’t done that. Stop listening to the recordings in your head. All those negative attacks, comments and put downs are not your baggage to carry. They’re the perspectives of others who are trying to make you into what they want you to be. Not for the support of you, but for their own selfish benefit. So they can feel better about themselves.

Today is the most important day of the year for you. Now is the time to let go of the anchor and allow your wings to catch the wind. Fly with your own skills and rise up to glide over the rocks and obstacles below. The view really is much lovelier up there! And you’re going to like where the breeze carries you to.

We Join The Celebration Of Equality

Love Is Love

Love Triumphs All

Today the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, known as DOMA, stating it discriminated against same-sex couples.

Then they declined to rule on California’s Proposition 8 which prohibits same-sex marriage, leaving in place a lower court’s decision that struck-down the ban.

From a pagan perspective:
It is important to note that Pagan Metaphysics strives for peace and harmony within the Divine Universe and within the individual being. Through mutual respect and acceptance we can discover and acquire peace for all and create a world that is harmonious for everyone. But this approach does not take away the choices of individuals to direct their own lives with free will and the acceptance of the consequences of those choices. ~ an excerpt from Pagans and Politics.

Everyone here at Spring’s Haven and Springwolf Reflections share in the excitement and celebration of all our Gay and Lesbian friends. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Pentacles

4 of PentaclesBe content today. Your baskets are full of abundance of the most important kind. Friendship and love tops that list. But watch out for those who are jealous of what you have. They’re looking forward to seeing you struggle. Don’t give into their diversion or take the bait to fight or argue with them. They’re really not worth your time.


Additional Insight:

Be cautious of those who “have it all”, but don’t have love in their life. You may not have the materialistic things they have, but you have the truly important things in life. Love and family can carry you through any challenge, any obstacle and brings joy without spending a penny.

Their “top of the line” car, cloths, vacations and “things” don’t bring them true happiness. Thus they can become angry and jealous when you’re smiling. They may even look for ways to break up your family or your love.

Keep communication open between you and those you care about. When you love someone, there’s nothing you can’t share. Don’t automatically believe what others say about the one you care about. Misunderstanding, assumptions and out right lies can destroy trust and respect unnecessarily.

Be open and honest with the ones you love and you will overcome anything together with trust and respect.

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

Ten of Cups - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t look to others for your happiness, you won’t find it there. Even when the world is trying to turn things upside down, you are responsible for your own feelings. Look within yourself for the spark of laughter, creativity to manifest your dreams and inspiration to build your own abundance. It’s up to you to care for you, not someone else.


Additional Insight:
Partnerships are a two way street of respect. But you’re not an island dependent upon those around you for your happiness. You decide what your emotions are and how you will react to the events around you. No matter what the situation, no one can control that aspect of you.

Take accountability for how you feel and stop blaming others for the situations you’re in. If you don’t like it, change it. If you feel stunted, then use your own imagination to create. You must be the one who does the work to make it happen, no one else can do it for you.

Instead of letting the little things make you angry, learn to ignore them or accept them for what they are (they’re not important). You aren’t perfect, so why do you keep holding others up to standards that even you can’t meet?

Take time today to calm down, go within and push the reset button. You’re the only one who can truly make a big difference in your life. Stop letting the stress and anxiety turn you into someone you don’t want to be or don’t like to be around. It’s the angst that’s creating the environment you’re in. So find a way to relax so you can deal with what needs to be done, take care of what needs to be addressed and make a real difference in your life to turn things around.

Clear your mind and your body of the anxiety that has you blaming everyone and everything else for your own dilemma. Make sure what you want is really what you need, and if it is, make the changes necessary to guide your future where it needs to be. Everyone has the ability to make sacrifices and change. Get off your butt and do it, and take responsibility for your own life!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Wands – Inverted

Knight of Wands: Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Your gut feelings and inspirations are turned upside down today. Stop worrying about what your fears are telling you and remember the insights you acquired at the end of last week. Success is happening, even if you can’t see or feel it right now. The Divine is working to manifest your dreams, so you need to keep working on them too!


Additional Insight:

Wands represent the essence of Enterprise, Inspiration, Distinction, but you’re not feeling any of those things today out of fear. Don’t let the changes around you scare you off from continuing your mission to succeed. The change is necessary to get you there.

Whether its looking for a job, trying to attain a promotion, planning a wedding or vacation, or starting some new venture, don’t give up now. You’ve been working hard on this project for a long time. You’ve put a great deal of effort into it’s design and vision. You’ve worked with the Divine force in your life to add energy to it and things are changing to make it happen.

Change is never easy, but it’s sometimes necessary to push in the direction we need to be going in the first place. Listen to those around you who have tried to give you good and positive counsel. Ignore the nay-sayers, even if that’s your own inner voice telling you it’s impossible. Focus on what needs to be done to get over the next hurdle. If that means doing something temporarily to get you to the final result, then simply remind yourself it’s only for a little while.

What ever you do, don’t let the fear overwhelm you and take away all the work you’ve done so far. You can still do this! The changes before you may simply be the Divine’s way of giving you what you need in this time and space in order to fund your adventure down the road. Take it and you’ll turn the tide.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The World – Inverted

The World - Inverted

The Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Take some time to care for your garden and add a little energy to nurture and feed it. Your dreams and plans will only realize manifestation if you work on them. They’re not going to appear out of thin air from thought and visualization alone. You will have to get your hands dirty too.


Additional Insight:

Simply dreaming about what you want or will do once your dream manifests will not bring your plans into reality. You must also put in the practical work to make them happen. So stop making excuses or talking yourself out of doing the worked needed.

Whether its writing things down, researching what’s needed and making notes, you need to get busy. Make the effort toward putting fingers to keyboards to complete documents, advertisements or start blogging about your venture, you need to get to work.

No one is going to hand you a prize, wrapped in a bow with a secret key inside that simply makes it all happen. If you want it, you’re going to have to do some work for it. While that includes the spiritual enhancement of guiding energy toward your goal, that energy can’t do it alone. Continue reading

Happy Summer Celebrations

Spread A Smile

Happy Solstice Celebrations

The Summer Solstice Beacons

Today is a day to take notice of Father Sun and honor his warmth and light as summer officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere. The Solstice is a time that many look forward to and it’s celebrated around the world both as a spiritual holiday and a scientific event. For Pagan’s it is a day to dance around the bonfires and celebrate the Mid-Summer Solstice Day.

Everyone here at Spring’s Haven and Springwolf Reflections would like to wish you all a wonderful, happy and safe Mid-Summer celebration!

In legend and lore the Solstice begins the great battle between the Oak King of Spring and Summer and the Holly King of Fall and Winter. In the Northern Hemisphere the battle favors the Oak King who fights to keep the Sun’s warmth upon the Earth over the next few months. In the Southern Hemisphere, the battle favors the Holly King who shades the Earth and brings on the cold of winter. Continue reading

High Holy Days: Southern Hemisphere

Howling Dingo

A subspecies of the wolf, our cousin the Dingo

The Pagan Sabbats In The Southern Hemisphere

The early pagans around the world were very balanced in the way they scheduled their lives. One of the places this is seen most clear are in the High Holy days.

Each festival celebration falls in between a solstice or equinox. But the holidays were also celebrations of the seasons and the change of energy throughout the year.

Additionally, Pagans are pretty big on using the right energy in concert with the right movement of time and space. In other words, we align our conscious thoughts and connections with the Divine in our lives based on the energy that surrounds us.

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. It doesn’t makes sense to align your energy with the warm summer sun when outside your window it’s snowing like a blizzard. Because of this, the Southern Hemisphere sees the holidays differently than we do here in the North. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Hermit – Inverted

The Hermit : Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Reach within and find your own light. Don’t try to be like someone else, it will only take you away from the path you’re meant to travel. You have your own light that’s meant to guide your way out of the darkness. Stop hiding it and pushing it down beneath the service. Reach within yourself and allow your light to shine with pride and glory.


Additional Insight:

It’s hard enough being yourself without trying to change everything on your plate to be like someone else’s table. They don’t have your past, both in this incarnation and the last…hundreds of lifetimes. They don’t carry your karmic rewards and they don’t hold your spiritual lessons.

Your table is equally as lovely. Even though it’s decorated with different items and flavors, it represents you and what you are drawn to. It’s not fake, or filled with show, because it has substance and meaning. Don’t discard it. You own it and it’s not on loan from someone else who can take it away from you on a whims notice.

You don’t always know what others have gone through to acquire their table settings. It may look great now, but the path to their party may be fraught with emotional scars and turmoil you never had to go through. Don’t aspire to be like someone else. You may regret what you asked for and the consequences of the trauma you might go through to get there. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: King of Swords

King of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Strength and fortitude will win the day. That doesn’t mean you must use brawn to exert your muscles. It takes a good deal of intelligence and wisdom to be the leader that solves conflict without a physical fight. But if you control your temper and work through the discord, you will be the victor in more ways than seem apparent today.


Additional Insight:

In today’s world survival of the fittest isn’t measured in brawn and who has the biggest weapons. That attitude no longer suits the energy within and around Mother Earth.

Survival of the most spiritual is the measuring stick that will hold up in conflict. Who lives by the convictions of their beliefs in a positive way, no matter what those beliefs are (even if there are no spiritual beliefs at all). You cannot spout scripture and “Love they neighbor”, then walk out the door and denounce the person in the news or down the street who chooses to live different beliefs than you.

You cannot condemn all people who hold beliefs simply because you see them as ignorant or irrelevant, yet hold yourself up as the higher intelligence. No one truly knows what is unseen or unknown in the Divine Universe.

Everyone is walking their own path in this incarnation and they are where they need to be at this time. Your journey may not be parallel to theirs, but it’s not better, or worse, than theirs is. It’s merely where you need to be at this point and time in your physical life. But with free will and choice you decide if your path goes down hill and faces struggles that put your lessons to the test. Or if you pass the quiz and move toward the fork in the road that leads you upward toward wisdom and enlightenment.

Accepting others for who and what they are is the road toward enlightenment. You don’t have to agree with them, you don’t have live as they do. And you don’t have to abandon your convictions, “if” they walk the positive road. You can disagree with an idea or a concept. But if you denounce others for who and what they are, all you are doing is living in hypocrisy. Don’t sit in judgement of others. In the end, the one you may be judging is yourself.
