Be Cautious Of Social Media Connections

Aug3

Be The Alpha LeaderGuilt By Association

A couple of years ago I read an article about being careful who you “Like” on social media sites if you’re a small business. It’s unfortunate that “guilt by association” is something we must be cautious of in a spiritual community, but sometimes it’s even more important in our world.

We make our way in our spiritual practice or business based on our reputation and through word of mouth. Here our reputation is everything! Few things can damage your reputation as quickly as a link to an unsavory person or their business.

Because of this article, I am very cautious about accepting invitations online. Unless I have time to do some research or already know and trust the person, I don’t accept the connection. Whether it’s on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or any other social media source. It’s not something I do out of arrogance or disdain. But it is done for purely selfish reason; to ensure my reputation is always within my control.

Today a friend who has a small spiritual candle business in the north-west contacted me asking for prayers because of this very issue. She makes the most amazing scented candles with an emphasis on aroma therapy. She uses her own energy to connect with the Divine in her life as she creates the wax and pours the candles. She includes an incantation as she pours the wax to infuse each candle with a specific energy. It’s truly a special gift and talent. (At this time I’m going to keep her name and her candle business out of this article as she wants this story to be shared, but wants to be anonymous).  Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Tower

Aug2
The Tower

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Lightening doesn’t strike the same place twice, so make sure you’re ready for an opportunity when it arises. It’s not luck that will get you in the door. It’s being prepared when the moment presents itself. You know what needs to be done. Get to it today and over the weekend.

Additional Insight:

You’ve been allowing your negative talk to divert you from your plan. The Faeries told you to stop the self doubt and today they’re telling you to get back to basics! You already know what you need to do. Do it.

If you haven’t written out your plan, that’s what you need to spend the weekend doing. If you’ve written out your plan, you need to get back to it and finish or start the next step on the list. Or at the very least go over it and update it as needs be.

Plans are only set in stone if you drop them on the desk and never look at them again. Don’t file it away and give up on your goals. Doing so may cause you to miss the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Or worse, fail to live up to expectations because you didn’t complete your mission to be prepared for it when it arrived.

You have things you must do in order to get to the things you want to do. Some of those steps may not seem like items that will help you advance your cause. But they are things that need to be completed if you’re going to get to the steps you’re sure you need to do. Stop putting items on your list off until another day. Others are waiting for you to get them done and they won’t be there to help you when you need them to meet the opportunities of the future when you need them most.

Get back to the basics of building the foundation. Only then will your tower be strong enough to survive the chaos around you. And only then will you be ready when that all important moment of “luck” arrives.

Merry Lughnasadh or Imbolg!

Arctic Wolf Fire

“Arctic Wolf Fire”
By Tom-in-Silence

The Summer Fire Festival

Whether its Lughnasadh for Celtic paths or Lammas for Wiccan paths, the summer fire festival is always a fun event to honor the changing seasons!

As with most things on the pagan calendar, different traditions celebrate and recognize seasonal festivals at different times of the year. Here in the northern Hemisphere, Lughnasadh is recognized on August 1st or 2nd.  It’s the time to recognize and honor Gratitude, Abundance, and bring things to Fruition (Getting it done!)

In the Southern Hemisphere this is the time for Imbolg, the Festival of Lights, when honoring the goddess Brigid and Purification, Initiation, and Dedication to one’s path is recognized.

There are many ways to give thanks and honor during this 1st harvest festival. It celebrates the warmth of the sun, the rain and the faery folk who help tend to the gardens, flocks and fields. As a Celtic festival of the harvest, what better way to give thanks than to prepare a meal with the harvest of your own garden.

Which ever holiday you observe, may it be a wonderful and blessed celebration!

From all of us here to all of you;
Merry Lughnasadh & Imbolg!!

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

Aug1
Ace of Wands - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t allow the low hanging fruit to limit your reach for something bigger. While those little things might provide instant gratification, they’re blocking your view from the bigger picture. Don’t let fear hold you back. Take the chance and go for the bigger opportunities. You deserve them!

Additional Insight:

The Ace of Wands represent the essence of Enterprise, Inspiration, Distinction from an individual perspective. When inverted it’s letting you know that your self doubt is holding you back from your potential and opportunities. Stop the negative self talk!

What more do you need to prove to yourself that you have the knowledge, ability and experience to reach for the brass ring? You’re doing the research, continually learning and make strides forward and you’re putting into practice what knowledge you’ve gained. All this should be building your confidence, not breaking it.

The fear from others, the fear of the past, the fear of mistakes, the fear of getting what you want are all creating the negative thoughts within. Come to the realization that you will make mistakes. You’re not perfect, but neither are all those other people who have ambition and have achieved their goals. Each one of them made mistakes, many create some really big ones. But each one believed in them self and made the stride over the hump and got through it. If they can do it, so can you.

You do deserve the big prize. You have paid your dues and lived through the struggle. You made your plan and put it into motion, knocking each step off as you built mini-successes. The instant gratifications are nice, while they last. But if you really want the bigger prize, it might be time to start ignoring the little things you can conquer and up your status for the big game!

Now stop the damn pity party and spouting stupid excuses for why you can’t. Get off your butt and get to it! Believe in yourself; especially when no one else does. You can and you will do this!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knave of Wands –

Jul31
Knave of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Think hard about what you want to create today, for it sets up the events you’ll go through for the rest of the year. This is a turning point day. Don’t be naive, or childish and think long term about how you want the remainder of the year to go. Be careful what you wish for. You might get it. So be sure it’s what you really want.

Additional Insight:

You have some decisions to make today and they have a profound impact on how the rest of your year will flow. So make sure you really know what you’re getting into and what you might be saying yes to. It’s a perfect day for remembering that sometimes what you “want”, isn’t always what you “need”.

You’ve worked long and hard up to this point. Careful you don’t throw that all away on one decision you might regret making. Think things through and don’t let your emotions get the best of you. Remember, not everything is as it seems.

With either option, there maybe things you’ll gain; but there will also be things you lose. Make sure you weigh both sides of the scale and really look at the benefits; and the disadvantages of both side. Your choices may mean the scale can’t be balanced for a short time. In which case, you have to decide if you’re willing to live with the highs that emerge over the lows that can’t be avoided.

If you want to remain where you are, then use caution and proceed with conservative choices. If you want to shake things up and make a change, then you might want to grab the option that is presenting itself and take a chance on something new. Take time to look within, raise your conscious thought and be one with the Divine in your life and view what lays before you from a higher Spiritual perspective. Trust yourself and your instincts, then make the best decision for you. It’s your life, don’t let someone else dictate how you’ll live it.

~~~

The 5 Minute Alignment Meditation – Take some time to align your energy with the Divine in your life and don’t be afraid to ask what you should do that benefits your spiritual mission and your physical happiness.

This is the 660th post on Springwolf Reflections. I like round numbers. A numerological view of today’s message says: 6+6=12 ; 1+2=3 ; Today’s number – 3

Three –
The number of spirit, the whole (mind/body,spirit), wisdom and enlightenment, bringing empowerment.

  • This number is associated with Mars.
  • This number is associated with the Birch Tree.
  • This number is associated with the Snow Goose.
  • It represents the energy world or physical magik. It is a number of balance for feminine and masculine energy.
  • Positive Direction: 3 can denote intelligence and a unique ability to understand all sides. Because of this it’s a number of justice or fairness; being able to balance out all sides of an argument and working out the best for all sides. It’s a great number to have for those in the spiritual or legal professions.
  • Negative Direction: In reverse 3 can be overbearing, intrusive and disregarding fairness. It becomes a number of judgement based on self serving outcomes or a sense of righteousness.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Queen of Wands

Jul30
Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Wait till the fall to look back and assess how far you’ve come. Now is the time to stick to the plan and stay on task. Use your energy to create the magik you’re looking for. Success is manifesting more and more each day. So believe in yourself and you’ll be able to relax in a few more months.

Additional Insight:

Just because you’ve had a few victories doesn’t mean you can sit back and reap the rewards. There’s still work to be done and you need to keep your nose to the grindstone. Your efforts won’t be ignored. You gain ground a little bit more each week, and each month. Stick to the plan and keep moving forward.

As the fall arrives you’ll be able to take a little time to relax, but don’t count on going anywhere or doing anything big. Maybe go out to breakfast, or treat your family to a special dinner. But don’t plan on big spending ventures just yet.

Give it time and know that you are on the right track for the most part. Others are still waiting for you to complete a few tasks that are absolutely necessary for your success. Simply because things have gone well in the past few days/week doesn’t mean you can forget about those things. Get them done and out of the way.

You’ll be able to look back in October and see the great strides that have been made. If you stick to your current course. Careful you don’t fall back into bad habits and old patterns. Those will no longer serve you well. You can still do this! Don’t throw in the towel or give up now that your hard work is finally showing manifestation and promise. You can do this! Because you already have. Now keep it going.

~ Fitting post at 7:30am on 7/30
In Shamanistic numerology; 7+30=10 -> 1+0=1
One – The number of individualism, independence, the self, the physical body and contentment, the start and beginning.

  • This number is associated with the Sun.
  • This number is associated with the Reed Tree.
  • This number is associated with the Snake.
    (Today on 7/30  the snake represent healing within)
  • It represents the physical world and masculine energy.
    (Today that’s implemented through physical action, getting things done. Don’t put things off!)
  • Positive direction: When the ’1′ enters your life it represents confidence, self respect and empowerment. It denotes new projects or situations that are present. Consider the physical implications or impacts and how they will direct the path forward. What new conditions will be created, what old situations will need to be released.
  • Negative Direction: In reverse 1 indicates loneliness, feeling lost, self-doubt, poor self-confidence and illness. It shows the path of stagnation and a refusal to break old patterns that have proven to be detrimental.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Sun

Jul29
Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

The support you have is solid as stone and will nurture you into success. The blood you have spilt has not been for naught. And out of the struggle has been born a gift that will always be yours to treasure. Let your light shine brightly and lead the way for those who are still in the darkness.

Additional Insight:

If you can make it, others will be inspired to succeed as well. Don’t give in yet. Yellow is the color of success and there is much of that in the Sun. She is the mother of endurance, growth, and spiritual enlightenment.

Allow her rays to keep you warm, to help you see the way ahead and help you direct her energy toward the achievement and success you’ve been working so hard to claim as yours.

There are still fights clamoring at your ankles. But don’t give into their negative attacks. They won’t draw blood and they won’t overwhelm your day, if you don’t give into attempts to pull you back into battle.

Keep a level head and walk with pride and confidence. You’ve earned the right to step out into the light. You’ve tended your garden of hopes and dreams. Now hold your head up and see your garden in full bloom as the Sun springs forth to shine her spotlight on you.

A New About Page

Jul28

graduating wolfSpring’s Educational Experience

This month I’ve received four emails and two Facebook contact messages about my thoughts on the programs at the University of Sedona and the University of Metaphysics. I’m excited there’s an increase in interest this month. Perhaps because of the continual negative or bad news we’ve seen here in July, people are looking for spiritual answers and inspiration. At least I hope so.

Anyway, I thought it might be helpful for those searching for information to merely add a page here on my blog so they can find it in their research. And hopefully it answers the questions more easily.

So I’ve added a new page in the about section “Spring’s Educational Experience” that addresses the common questions I’ve been asked over the years, and especially this month.

I hope it helps those looking into enrollment. If you’re looking into these Universities and you do enroll, I wish you all the success and achievement you set for yourself. And I hope the program you choose meets all your personal goals.
