~~~~~ Only 2 Days Left To Say Thank You For The Daily Meditation Message ~~~~~

Our Campaign Page

For the past 3 months we have been asking for your help to bring help to others. There are only 2 days left in our campaign. We know our daily message asking for assistance can be annoying to some. Over looked by others and heart wrenching for those that want to help but can’t financially afford it.

If our daily Tarot Meditation message has brought you any insight into your day, we hope you’ll say thank you for this FREE message and the effort it takes to divine the insight, write it up, post it on Spring’s Haven, here on Springwolf Reflections, our Facebook and Twitter accounts. It isn’t something we do in 5 minutes. It takes work and time. And we do it all for free. Helping us to help others in return let’s us know you appreciate that effort and want to say thank you.

But even if you can’t afford to help, you can still help. Go to our campaign page and share the message on your social media account. The more shares we have, the more we can get noticed and perhaps featured on the Indiegogo publicity page. You can help us. But it takes a little effort.

Today’s Message:

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t throw your hands up and walk away. Everything worth having is worth fighting for. So things aren’t perfect. That’s life. We don’t live each day to the standards of a Hollywood vision of perfection. That’s fantasy, so change your expectations. No one can live up to that standard. Not even you!

Additional Insight:

Where did you get the idea that the right relationship means never arguing or facing bumps in the road? No relationship is perfect and everyone argues. That’s life. Get used to it. If you’re throwing away the best thing in your life because you’re having a fight, you’re not mature enough to be in a relationship.

Grow up! It’s not all about you. Relationships involve work and communication. Everyone will get their feelings hurt and your feelings are no more valid or important than your partner. You may have pushed a button that stems from a deep emotional scar your partner faced in a previous or other relationship. Their reaction may have pushed one in you.

If you truly love each other, then hold the respect you have for one another to a higher level above the hurt feelings. Let the sting of the pain subside for a day and then talk to one another. Don’t talk to your best friend who will feed the flames. Don’t talk to your buddy at the bar who has no idea what’s really going on. The only person you should be talking to is your partner. Act like an adult who wants an adult relationship and communicate with each other and resolve the issue.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Cups –

Oct26

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stop pouting and facing the world with anger and angst. All you’re doing is creating more of the same in your life. You’re not an island and you’re not alone, so stop acting like you are. There are people who care about you, if you will show that you care about them. YOU control how your day goes. You decide if it’s going to be good or not. So make your choice. Which is it?

As I pulled this card today I had a spiritual visitor who indicated she had a message about “that” card. Here’s what she had to say:

There’s a difference between being a lone and being lonely. If you’re constantly angry, whither it’s at a person, a project or a thing, people are going to avoid you. That constant angst is draining and pulls others down who maybe having a good day for fighting to stay on an even keel.

Others do care about you, but they maybe afraid to show it. You may care about them, but your blind focus on negative things keeps those feelings hidden or worse, appear that you don’t care about anyone else at all.

If you want your life to change, you’re the only one who can change it. If you’re tired of the anger and frustration, then stop going off on every little thing. You expect others to deal with their issues, how about you start dealing with your own first.

Sometimes my ghostly visitors tell it like it is and don’t pull punches. What I’d say is that you can go around beating yourself up and pouting about things you said or things you’ve done, but that’s not going change things. If you want to be around happy people or people who are handling their stress on an even keel, then you have to first be that person yourself. You can’t hold others up to a certain standard that you yourself don’t meet. All you do is pull more of that same energy toward you, and like a snowball down a mountain, it will grow and eventually it may grow out of hand.

Relax a little. Get rid of some stress this weekend. Take a real day off! Go for a walk or a drive in the mountains or park. Enjoy the changing colors of fall or the blossoming color of spring. Remind yourself and those around you that you love them and care about them. Show them in the little things you do. Pick up a cookie or piece of halloween candy for your best friend. Bring home a flower for your partner. Find a sticker or tiny toy for your kids. Let the ones you love know you love them.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knave of Swords –

Oct25

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t be naive and ignore the warning signs. Someone isn’t be totally honest with you about what’s going on and not knowing could leave you hanging with nothing. It’s ok to walk a positive path and try to see the good in all things. But when you do so with rose colored glasses, you’re bound to get sideswiped and then tell everyone you never saw it coming. But you did and you’re not being honest with yourself either.

Additional Insight:

Whither you’re being taken advantage of or being told things aren’t as they really are, someone is taking something you need away from you. Don’t go looking for trouble when none has been there before. But don’t ignore your gut instincts about other situations because they “feel” closer to home and that couldn’t possibly happen. You have a certain way in your head of how things are playing out and how you want them to be. But what you want and what you need aren’t the same thing in this case.

Don’t let what you want cloud your judgement and influence you into ignoring your own inner instincts that are telling you something isn’t right here. The consequences will affect more than just you and it will take a lot of effort and expense to correct the situation if you don’t nip in the bud today.

Being spiritual and walking a positive path, doesn’t mean you have to lay down and let others walk all over you. So stop ignoring the warning signs, accept that not everyone is full of love and compassion,or ethical respect and protect your own interests today. Stand up for yourself AND your family! If you don’t do it, who else is going to?

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Three of Swords –

Oct24

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stress and strife may make you overwrought today. All those aches and pains, both physically and mentally are piling up and wearing you down. Life is filled with its ups and downs. You decide how they impact your day. Try not to let the downs get to you more than the ups lift you. Whither it’s the changes in the weather or doing the fall chores that are affecting you physically; or the stress with kids, family or finances you will get through it. Don’t make it all out to be more than it is!

Additional Insight:

Sometimes a pumpkin is just a pumpkin. It’s not hiding any deeper meaning or warning you about a bigger issue. Today you might be letting all the little things pile up and seem like a big deal. But they’re really simple little issues that will pass and have no meaning.

If you can, let them pass by and take their energy somewhere else. If you can’t, try not to make a mole hill into a mountain. A simple conversation will take care of the issue and you’ll be done with it.

Consider a quick 15 or 20 minute meditation at lunch today to ground and balance out your energies to an even keel. Or perhaps take a 15min nap and dream about something fun and exciting. How about a nice calm old fashioned clipper ship balloon ride through the clouds, or a roomy submarine ride under the sea. Take yourself somewhere in your mind that’s unique, new and beautiful.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a little escape and getting a different view on things when you come back. Reality doesn’t seem so overwhelming after a nice few moments of peaceful fiction. It really is going to be ok and tomorrow is another day.

Tips For Turning Things Around:
Here’s a trick I share with people who feel they’re constantly facing the negative side of life and want to change the pattern. Continue reading →

The Mayan Long Count Calendar

Oct23

A Dec. 21, 2012 Prophecy

One of the most common myths today is that the Mayans predicted a doomsday and that the world will end on December 21st 2012.

What gets me about this story is that many of the people who believe this, never listen to other prophecies that have been made and have happened. Why do so many people believe this one? I honestly have no insight into that. Perhaps it’s a sign of the hoplessness that some people feel during this recession/depression time in our world.

I’ve written about this story in the past on Taking Another Look At Dec. 12, 2012 . Sharing facts and links to real scientific evidence that debunks this silliness. Now that we’re getting closer to the infamous date, more stories are coming out about that same evidence. This week the Discovery Channel posted a pretty good perspective on the Mayan Calendar and the misinformation fear mongers are spreading. It’s worth a read.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ace of Pentacles

Oct23

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Your star is rising today. Keep doing what you’re doing, things are falling into place nicely. Behind the scenes the wheels are turning and ideas are being spun to provide more opportunities and success. Don’t put all your eggs in the same basket however. You’ll be limiting your opportunities. And the basket can’t hold your brilliant shinning light anyway!

Additional Insight:

The changes you have been making in your life are starting to be noticed by others. Don’t give up and think it’s not doing you any good. It is! In more ways than one.

You’re building a good foundation and positive reputation for handling challenges, working under pressure and being a team player. But it’s your skills as leader that are being noticed the most. Don’t go out of your way to direct others, but don’t be afraid to speak up and make suggestions either. That can do attitude is your real strength today.

Stand up straight and feel proud about the things you’ve done thus far to turn things around. They’re finally coming out and shining in the broad day light.

Don’t go haywire though and start spending your prize before you have it though. It’s not the time to start celebrating yet. The plans are in the works and you’re doing what needs to be done. You’re almost there!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Chariot

Oct22

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Adventure awaits. You maybe asked to do something you’ve never done before. Use your common sense and decide if this is something that would be good for you, or if you’re being set up to do something you wouldn’t normally do. Don’t allow others to manipulate you for their own means. But don’t allow your own fear to keep you from spreading your wings and flying toward an opportunity that will bring you great accolades. You’ve earned them.

Additional Insight:

You’re going places, but make sure they’re places that you want to go. Whither in personal matters or business, today’s event can lead to big things in either direction on your life path. Make sure it’s leading to a big thing that’s good for you and promotes your life for the better in the long run.

It’s not often we face a situation that has such long reaching and long range effects on our future. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you and refuse or accept an opportunity that will derail your future plans.

You maybe asked to give a talk on a subject that you have great knowledge about. Don’t let fear and self doubt keep you from accepting that invitation. You maybe asked to talk with someone who is going through a tough time and your insight and compassion might be what they need to pick themselves up and face the challenges in their life. Or you maybe asked to shed your inner morals and do something you wouldn’t otherwise do. Going ahead and allowing peer pressure to give up those morals might create a reputation that you don’t want and you won’t be able to shed. (Kids – keep your pants zipped; there’s life long consequences to giving in to your hormones, even if there isn’t a pregnancy involved!)

There’s a time and place to everything in life. And even the good things that cross your path can come with choices. Make sure you’re ready to make the right choice that promotes the vision of your future path and not the one that can destroy it.

The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

10/20 Our Topic: The Dibbuk Box
The Dibbuk Box. In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a restless, usually malicious, spirit believed to be able to haunt and even possess the living. The Dibbuk Box is a wine cabinet that achieved recognition after it was auctioned on eBay with an accompanying horror story and is the original inspiration for the 2012 film “The Possession.” You don’t want to miss this show!

AND We welcome back one of our favorite Co-Hosts!
None other than the world famous Gaz Davies from P.R.O.O.F Paranormal in Swansea, Wales! Gaz has been on the show and has talked about his upcoming TV show P.R.O.O.F that he is working on. Those of you who listened last time Gaz was on the show, know that he has an amazing voice and accent that made all the ladies swoon. He’s worth tuning in to listen to alone!

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!

There are may ways you can listen on the go, at home, at work or in your car. Simply go to the app that allows you to stream the show and search for Tenacity Radio, then save it as a favorite.

We always have a lot of fun! And we’d love to have you with us.

If you miss the show, you can listen on the Tenacity Radio Archives for the The Ænigma Project (look for date and topic), or visit the The Ænigma Project blog for links to iTunes and more ways you can listen to past shows.

Teaching Your Children

Oct19

Teachable Moments

Starting Out On A Spiritual Path

In today’s world of spiritual variety, people of all faiths are looking to share their beliefs and practices with their children. Even if their beliefs are Pagan Metaphysics.

As with any practice, there are levels of participation based on age. Children often go through a period of learning the basics before they participate in the central practices of the Church or Temple or Circle. This is true with children in the pagan metaphysical realm as well.

In most traditions, children are not permitted to practice magik until they reach puberty. That means being present during a circle, but not participating in the ritual of the circle. It’s not because of an age thing, it’s an energy thing.

Until all the chakras are fully functional and ready to begin work, they can be adversely affected by rituals that deal with energy manipulation (magik). Think about what the physical body is going through during not only their early years of physical development, but the emotional development as well. Especially during puberty, kids are going through a wide array of changes. Both boys and girls fight and deal with hormones, physical changes and emotional pressures each and every day. Adding magik and energy rituals on top of that can be over whelming. Even parents who think their children are wise beyond their years have to face the reality that they are still children who are growing physically. Don’t push them! Allow them to be kids and grow up gradually as nature intended. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Wands –

Oct19

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Magik and creativity share the message to: Give yourself a break. There’s enough people getting upset over things that are out of their control. They’re not directing their frustration at you. Why do you keep taking it on and piling on top of what isn’t yours to begin with? Step out of the shadows and stop thinking everything is on your shoulders and your responsibility. You owe it to yourself.

Additional Insight:

You’re putting out so much of yourself to others and not being compensated fairly for the effort. You can choose not to do it any more, or calmly express your position in hopes others will understand how they’ve been taking advantage of you. If they don’t, you have a decision to make. Don’t make it lightly.

The worst thing people do is under-value their own self-worth. Stop listening to the nay-sayers and replaying the negative comments in your head. Those messages are not for you, they are reflections of what those doing the talking feel about themselves. Give the message back to them and let them carry their own baggage.

This weekend, put yourself first. Spend time relaxing, catch up on some sleep, go for a drive and allow yourself to have a spontaneous adventure. Set some time aside for meditation, updating your grimoire or your journal. Do something for the inner you as well as the physical you.

Don’t be afraid to say “no” if someone asks you to do something you really don’t want to do. It’s ok to say “no”. If they get upset, let them know their expectations of you are on them. You have the right to put yourself first, even if it’s only now and then.
