Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knave of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Some conscious relaxation will be beneficial for you today. Close the door, turn out the lights, sit in the shadow of the mushrooms and stare out the window for 5 or 10 minutes. Allow your thoughts to escape the to do list and you’ll be able to discover some innovative ideas that solve the questions at hand. Imagination is the key to creation.

Additional Insight:

If you continually dwell on the problem, you’ll only create an atmosphere of worry and anxiety. But when you allow your conscious mind time to relax and rise up into your own Divine consciousness you open the gate to infinite possibility. All you need to do then, is see them.

Remember you are part of the greater Divine Consciousness. As such you are connected to the energy of Divine Creation. That energy has no limits in size, shape or possibilities. Tapping into it isn’t as hard as you might think. It simply takes a few moments of relaxation and a little effort to push out the mundane thoughts to see the creation of the Universe around you.

Your solution might be in the image of a bird flying past the window. Or a squirrel harvesting a nut it hid during the fall. It could come in the shape of a raindrop rippling in a puddle, or a snowflake drifting onto the window sill.

Give yourself a little break. No issue is to great or hard for Divine Creation to solve. Use your connection to your higher conscious mind and to the Divine force in your life and allow yourself to see the solution to any problem. You can, because you are One with the Divine Universe.

01/14 Our Topic: 21 Grams, The Weight Of The Human Soul
Have scientists actually recorded the weight of the human soul? Dr. MacDougall believes he has proven that the human soul has mass, and can be measured. What was his method? What have others said? Or is it nothing more than an Urban Legend?

Join Paul Cagle and his co-hosts Sushi and Springwolf as we share our research, knowledge, insight and humor, play “Truth or Tale” and talk about the news of the day.

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. If you don’t want to join the chat, you can still listen live on your pc or Smartphone on TuneIn radio! I LOVE this app!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: King of Cups

Jan14

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Follow your gut feelings today and don’t over think the situation at hand. Accept what it is and listen to your inner voice. You’re reading too much into the little events and placing your own fears upon what you think others have said or done. Stop listening with your anxiety and start hearing with your own Divine senses.

Additional Insight:

In times of stress we can easily hear what our negative voice keeps saying, even when the words are coming from someone else. Don’t read between the lines or attribute a negative comment to what someone hasn’t said. Allow them to speak for themselves and listen to what they have said, not what you “think” they’re saying.

Never be afraid to ask someone to clarify what they’re trying to get across. No one is perfect, not even you. Sometimes what someone is trying to tell you comes out poorly and their intended message gets lost in their emotions of concern. You can make it worse by hearing with your negative ears and lashing out at something that wasn’t even part of the conversation.

Today take time to center and balance your energies between “heaven” and Earth. Let go of the worry that causes over thinking and reading too much into what’s going on. You may find that things are changing in your favor exactly as they should be. But if you continue to hold onto those old fears, you could dig that anchor in deeper and push those positive changes away. Let it go and remember, it is what it is because you are being guided to where you “need” to be.

What Is That Cartouche?

Jan13

The Copyright Seal

At the bottom of the posts here on Springwolf Reflections, you may notice a seal with Japanese characters. Some folks have asked what that is. Well it’s not a cartouche, it’s called a Japanese Hanko and it’s my copyright seal for my work. I use the seal on articles, art, and even student certificates.

These seals are still used in Japan for professional and personal purposes. Most requiring registration with local government offices, much like a trademark is registered in the U.S. today. Like a signature to a Westerner, they are indispensable tools for Japanese adults in authorizing a myriad of transactions, from automobile registration, to bank activities to setting up house utilities. Nearly any occasion that would call for a Westerner’s signature would call for an impression of a hanko in Japan.

You can learn more about this Copyright Seal and find some links for more information and where you can get your own hanko.

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

Jan11

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Get your tail moving and fan the wind of change. You’re the only one who can cast away the gloom and doom. If you want sunny skies, than allow your self to be the light that shines for others. Dread and anxiety will only keep you in the dark and things are not as bad as you think they are. So smile, it’s not only good for you; it’s contagious too.

Additional Insight:

Those around you key their emotions for the day, from you. If you’re stressed and filled with anxiety, you will create that environment around you and infect everyone who crosses your path. Don’t be the dreaded virus that everyone wants to stay away from.

Instead, look around you and find the beautiful things that no one else notices. And share their beauty like a beacon of uplifting light. Even the cloudy skies have elements of beauty in the way they move, or the way they shadow your eyes from the blaring sun. Ever drive in the morning due east when the sun rise blinds you from seeing the road? Even the clouds can have their benefits.

But like all things, the world changes and moves on. You can allow the clouds of despair to hold you back, fighting the flow of change to a better day. Or you can trick yourself into a smile and share the hope and joy with those who cross your path. You may even trick yourself into a good mood.

Those “Good vibrations” (even if you’re only pretending) help you to re-energize, keep you going with hope and feed the creative ideas that swirl round within you. Let them shine today and you’ll be so surprise at how easy things will go for you. It’s a new day of the rest of your life. Take it on with excitement and confidence that you’re moving forward! Be the cure for the blues that everyone wants to have around.

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

Jan10

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Creativity and magik are being replaced by worry and anxiety. Don’t abandon everything you believe in simply because the struggles are hard. Sometimes things are tough because you’re fighting the inevitable. It’s looking at what you want, but not seeing what you need. It’s time to change the view and focus on what you can change, and let go of what you can’t.

Additional Insight:

Sometimes we go so ingrained in the battle that we can’t see the bigger picture behind the war. It’s easy for those who try to take the 5,000 foot view and tell you not to worry or don’t let it all get to you. But down on the ground in the details of it all, it’s not that easy to do.

The solution is to remember that you’re not facing the battle alone. Even if you can’t see the support that’s behind you, it’s there. Maybe in the physical, maybe in spirit; but it is there. Don’t forget to connect to the Divine presence in your life. Allowing that connection to be ever present can help you see the details that need attention, but it can also raise your perceptions over the clouds to understand the bigger picture.

Giving up and throwing it all away isn’t the answer to getting to the other side. Being angry and asking “why” won’t allow you to hear the answers you need.

It’s hard to center your energies in the midst of turmoil. It may even be the last thing you want to do. But taking the time to expel the negative energies from within, allows you to be filled with Divine insight, protection and strength to cross the chasm of despair.

You’re not alone and you don’t have to face the road ahead by yourself. For today, put the worries in the hands of the Divine presence in your life and try to find the magik of creation and innovation within you again.

Soul Mates, Twin Souls & Karmic Relationships – Updated

Jan9

Spiritual Relationships Revisited

On Monday night (May 14, 2012), Paul Cagle, Sushi and I sat at our round table for The Ænigma Project and held a discussion about Soul Mates. The next day I wrote a follow up article that covered the topics we discussed and the Pagan Metaphysical approach to what these relationships are and what they mean to us.

Some time between then and now, that article became corrupted on the server, with bits and pieces missing. I’m not sure when that occurred, but thankfully I had the original article on a back up where I could recover it. Thanks to my friend Myranda for bringing the corrupted issue to my attention!

The article has been recovered and posted, as well as tweaked with a few cosmetic updates -> Soul Mates, Twin Souls & Karmic Relationships – Updated.

If you missed the original airing of the show you can still listen to this episode on The Ænigma Project’s Blo g. Or on the show’s broadcast Archives on Tenacity Radio – 2012-05-14- Soul-Mates

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

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It may seem like you’re gathering one fruit for your basket as someone else is taking it out. It’s hard to get ahead right now, but you’re not looking at the bigger picture. Things aren’t falling out of your basket now. Instead, they’re moving up and coming back. It may not seem like it today, but things are changing for the better under the scene. Don’t give up yet!

Additional Insight:

Sometimes we get so far down in the hole that we first have to climb back to the surface in order for things to start climbing up to the tree tops and beyond. In the past, it was a constant two steps forwards and three steps back. But look at things today and you’ll notice the slight difference around you.

Now is not the time to give up and start packing it in. You fought the good fight and you’re almost back to the surface. Yes there’s still a long road to haul, but if you made a plan and you’ve stuck to it; you’re going to see it manifest. All you need to do is stay focused and walk the path through the valley.

The mountain top isn’t as far away now as it was. One step at a time and you’ll reach the base of the mountain and begin your climb to success. Give yourself some encouragement and look back at where you were and how far you’ve come. Don’t give up now that you’re so close to putting everything in place and seeing your plans blossom in the spring. Look forward to April; it’s going to be a really good month.
