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!

Try The 5 Minute Clearing & Healing Meditation – A Spiritual Approach to hitting the reset button.

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.

GrandMother Moon In Perigee

The Full Moon

Full Moon Perigee – June 23, 2013
The Largest Full Moon Of The Year

The Energy Of The Moon

On Sunday June 23, 2013 the moon will enter its full moon phase and it’s point of perigee for the year. Perigee occurs once a year when the moon is at its closest point to Earth during its orbit around our world. This makes it appear larger from our perspective and thus its the largest Full Moon of 2013.

Perigee doesn’t always occur when the moon enters its full phase. So when that happens, it’s extra special to Pagans. When it does happen, the occurrence is referred to as a “SuperMoon“-Wikipedia.

If you’re pagan, you may want to schedule a special ritual for this SuperMoon which occurs tomorrow night. You can check for Moon rise in your area through the WorldClock – Moonrise and Moonset Calculator.

This full moon is known as the Strawberry Moon as the gardens are bursting with berries. Letting us know life is full of sweet flavor. Ages ago, cultures around the world kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full moon. Their names were applied to the entire month in which the full moon occurred. Today we have the advantage of aligning our energies with the cultures we’re drawn to, or to the perspective our tradition follows. So if you’re of a European tradition, or Norse or Native American tradition; you can pick and choose the name set that you feel most connected to. Learn more at Naming The Full Moon.

The Moon and Pagans
For early pagan cultures, the Moon was often referred to as Grand Mother Moon and she was seen as the Crone aspect of the Goddess. She rises in the sky to watch over Mother Earth and precedes Father Sun across the sky. Continue reading

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
