What To Expect in a Psychic Reading

Why are you here? What is your life purpose?

Are you yearning to awaken that still, small voice inside of you? Are you seeking direction, growth, healing and inner peace? A Soul Reading (psychic reading) will help open your inner eyes to a whole new way of seeing and being as it shifts your perspective and opens your soul-heart to spirit guides, ancestors and soul mates.

Experience transformative soul growth and healing to empower your divine nature.

As a Soul Reader, I specialize in connecting with the Other Side, as well as providing guidance for your questions about love, relationships, career and health. I take an honest and conscientious approach, encouraging you to trust yourself and stay true to your heart. As a fine artist and entrepreneur, I also bring my background in business and the fine arts to my work, providing a uniquely passionate perspective on soul growth.

Reverend Mary Miller: I am impressed by Kathy's work. She has adapted a unique style of her own; creating cards that specifically addresses her needs. Her understanding of her clients are very "on." She addresses her clients with compassion, understanding and going "within her clients" to address their needs. I am a professional psychic of 30 years. I know ethically, she is top notch and well worth getting a healing/reading from. You cannot go wrong in her hands.

More Testimonials can be found here.

A Soul Reading can include several different options such as a one-on-one phone call with me or an audio recording and can include a Past Life Reading, Mediumship or Ancestral Reading, Chakra Healing, Astrology Reports and more. I work with 4 of my own handpainted oracle decks and may include an illustrated pdf with guidebook information. All my readings include email support and follow-up to make sure that you understand your reading and are 100% satisfied with your experience.

How does it work?

During a reading guidance is received from the Divine(s) in response to your questions about love, career, healing, and karmic destiny. In some cases your spirit guides and ancestors will also pop in to say hello and share a message or two.

I particularly enjoy working with women who are seeking to empower their inner wise woman and creatively transform their life in connection with their spirit guides, ancestors and the planetary cycles.

Preparation

I work to prepare myself energetically and physically through yoga, meditation and chakra balancing. I work with oracle card decks along with healing crystals in response to your questions. I request from Spirit an open heart and a clear channel to provide you with information that is only of the highest, deepest and most profound good for your soul. My style of reading is down-to earth, and informative with conscientious follow-up.

Gemini New Moon: Open Your Heart + Blow Your Mind!

Dear Moon Muser,
Today I’ll be sharing a Gemini Goddess with affirmations from my upcoming deck plus a video of a guided meditation and Spring walk through a gorgeous cactus/succulent garden with 2 handbuilt adobes near my home in Southern California. I pull oracle cards (you can choose one to work with) and then we tune into our sacral orange chakra and green heart chakra to help awaken creativity, sensuality and heart energy. There is also a Protective Bubble Exercise and some creative play with Lefty Oracle Card, "Homer, on the verge of greatness." (inspired by my dad).

Sparkly Blessings,
Kathy Crabbe

Gemini Goddess

Lighten up that heavy load,
Release your baggage centuries old,
The philosopher within
Wants to sing!

Gemini Affirmations

- I am adaptable and inventive.

About Your Spirit Guides

A client recently asked me how best to connect with her spirit guides so please enjoy these helpful tips from a blog article I recently updated.

Ancestor Readings Are Back!

I took a break from giving Ancestor Readings but am happy to say that they are back and it is my great pleasure and honour to connect and pass on messages from those who've passed over. To know and trust that the soul of those we have loved and lost lives on is truly mind blowing and heart opening.

Client Testimonial:
“A lot of it resonated especially how fiery she was and the use of ‘lady’. She did die of cancer which was very devastating and I think she was scared at the end so I am happy to know she is happy. The legacy (the boys) really stood out to me because no one on her side of the family has had any boy children yet since her, each having three girls. I talked to her brother and son (my father) about this and they were very touched. Thank you again for your energy and the beautiful reading! Is there any way to leave a tip?” ~ Brooke, Ancestor Reading, May, 2020

I believe my newest animal spirit guide, the Ostrich is helping me because in a recent dream the Ostrich in all her fluttery, winged gorgeousness approached me and licked my arm.

In mythology the Egyptian Goddess Maat, goddess of truth, took the form of an ostrich feather to be weighed on a scale along with the heart of the deceased as they entered the underworld. If the heart weighed more than an ostrich feather the deceased was sent to 'the bad place'. If the heart and feather were balanced the soul departed happily victorious to mingle with the gods and spirits of the dead. (Excerpted from The Book of Goddesses & Heroines by Patricia Monaghan)

Consulting Your Spirit Guides (Secret No. 7)

This week as part of our highly creative bloggers Next Chapter Book Club we are taking a look at: seeking out role models and advisers, reading about inspiring lives, and guiding others. (Side Note: This post is from a few years ago)

CHALLENGE #1 Searching for a guide (in the flesh):

My story - Short Version:

Never had one.
Always wanted one.
Dreamed I was one.
Became one.

*Update - I now have a spiritual mentor/guide in the flesh and her name is Francesca De Grandis.

Long Version - How to Find Your Spirit Guides:

I never actually found the "perfect guide" in the flesh, but I did find several in the spirit world. My recommendation, for those of you searching for your spirit guides, is to start out by working with a deck of tarot or oracle cards. My deck of choice was the Greenwood Deck, a Celtic Pagan deck created by Mark Ryan and illustrated by Chesca Potter. The two cards featured in this blog post were the ones that kept cropping up for me over and over again. But it was the Ancestor card that proved to be my greatest guide, acting as a gateway into the spirit world. By following (metaphorically/symbolically) the trunk and roots of the trees pictured in the card, down into the ground and beyond, I was able to access my main spirit guide, Annie.

Update: Nowadays I would definitely work with my own hand painted oracle decks!

How To Connect with Guides to Help Others:

When I give readings, I connect with the greatest guides there are, The Divines. I didn't start out by giving readings, I worked up to it over many, many years of practice. I suggest you find what methods work best for you, whatever allows you to quiet your mind (monkey-mind), open your heart, and become humble in the presence of Divine Beauty, with the realization that you are merely a channel and a messenger. Your job as a guide, is to remain open and connected, so that you can deliver healing and insightful messages in a non-judgemental, comprehensible and clear manner.

About Kathy Crabbe

Taurus New Moon: I Am Safe and Protected

Dear Moon Muser,
The hardest thing for me right now is just to keep going, knowing I am but one voice, one squeak, one noise, but also one great symphony when joined with your voice. Not in fear, but in LOVE.

To be not afraid, to be heard, and to sing our song of hope, for a future that feels very unknown and scary right now. May all that I do help to guide, heal and delight you.

For my New Moon Reading this month I'm doing it differently. I'm spreading out all three of my hand painted oracle decks, closing my eyes and asking the gods to help me choose.

New Moon Reading

Be a child with me.
Drop away pretenses, false ego.

Protect yourself
(as a child would)
(as a young person would)
(as an adult would).

Observe those defenses.

Ask your body what it needs right now.
Be in that dream for a bit.
Safe and protected.

Now look at the card I pulled above.
What is it saying? What are you feeling, thinking?

Next, thank the cards, the Divines, yourself for BEING you and for allowing your safety to feel good - without fear.

Blessed Be.
So mote it be.

Check out this wee healing video I made for the New Moon. (You may want to turn on the sound.)

For me feeling safe and protected is to dream of being in nature, safe, without my glasses, playing, with my brother too, in the water, the forest, the floating dock, in the air, on water skis, swimming, floating, diving.

When I look at the card “Mummy” I am alone, at peace, dreaming.

Aries New Moon (Pick-a-Card) + Tips To Get Through These Challenging Times

Dear Moon Muser,
We will get through these challenging times with a little help from our friends.

You've probably been listening to a lot of talking heads these days to stay abreast of the news, but I'm asking that instead you take a break and go within, but deeper than I've ever asked you to before; past the fear, the worry, the anxiety - to the stillness and calm that is our core and lies within each of us.

You may have been reading this blog for the past 20 years or for the first time today, but this is what I teach: How to awaken, access and trust your intuition. Like a muscle, we need to work it, again and again - this builds trust.

Intuition needs nature and quiet. Even just a tiny amount - a bit of dirt, a small houseplant, a glimpse of sky and stars and a moment to yourself to go within.

This blog offers you just that so use it to work your intuition.

As usual I've pulled some oracle cards from my own hand painted decks for this New Moon so you can go within, ask a question (or not) then pick a card and scroll down for the reveal. I'm also sharing my own personal interpretation of the cards (before even looking at them) along with Tips To Help You Through This Time (things that work for me).

Time to take a breath, go within and pick-a-card. The reveal is below.

Card 1: Capricorn (Zodiac Goddess Power deck)

Capricorn Meditation: Focus your energies to allow creation.

Capricorn Affirmations

• I am self-disciplined, logical, persistent and efficient

• I am strong and I will endure

• I am ambitious, responsible and secure

• I am grounded and compassionate

• I am a success in everything I do

Card 2: Carolee (Lefty Oracle deck)

Mantra: I am free.
Affirmation: I dare to be free.
Element: Earth

If this card appears in a reading you are more than ready to forge ahead. You are brave and you are going for it; nothing or no one can stand in your way. Simple.

In my own life this card also speaks of raw, naked ambition and flaunting it without shame or fear. It’s a feminist card, a fighter card, a power card. Blessed Be.

Card 3: Spider Monkey (Elfin Ally Oracle deck)

Keyword: Curious
Meaning: You’re tapped into many little secrets floating around you.
Reversed: Your mind is playing tricks on you.
Affirmation: I am agile.
Astrology: Gemini, Mercury
Element: Air
Medicine: You teach us how to be agile female leaders.

Card 4: This Beauty is Killing Me (Lefty Oracle deck)

Mantra: I am empowered
Affirmation: I am beautiful in my own way.
Element: Fire

When this card appears in a reading it’s time to seriously look at how you might be damaging yourself, your health, your life. Wearing high heels, for example is extremely harmful to your feet and back and will cause pain for you at some point in your life. Are you hurting others or being hurt? Are you vulnerable? Do you need protection and education around protecting yourself, your loved ones, your home, or the natural world around you? This card is simply pointing out the price you are paying for so called ‘beauty’. Is it worth it?

In my own life here in Southern California I look around at all the plastic surgeries and there are A LOT. But what can I do? I can accept me and put myself proudly out there to share my idea of what beauty means at middle age. It’s silver hair, extra weight and wrinkles that add to my beauty, not take away from it. I have survived AND thrived and beauty IS middle aged and wrinkled. So deal with it.

My Overall Interpretation:

• Use these cards to find the sweet stillness within and to be with that stillness to renew and recharge.

• Ground, ground, ground - be with Mama Earth.

• Let your intuition guide you regularly.

• Listen to the birds and BE IN their song.

My Personal Tips To Get You Through These Challenging Times

1. Less news, more nature. I’m taking every other day off from the news.

2. Call an old friend (or email/skype/facetime).

3. Create more, read more.

4. Be kind.

5. Get organized - spring cleaning, anyone?

6. Listen to wise woman herbalist, Susun Weed’s latest podcasts for a different perspective on the covid19 virus plus listen to callers ask questions (you can call in too!) This helped to calm and relax me.

7. Go within to find inner strength, gratitude and to call upon a higher power, your gods/goddesses, spirit guides or universal energy.

8. Ask health care workers and elderly neighbors what you can do to be of assistance.
