How To Bond With Your Oracle Deck and Build a Daily Practice

Since releasing my new Zodiac Goddess Power Deck I’ve had some questions from clients and would like to share them below. I’m sure you’ll find something useful for yourself too!

How to Start a Daily Oracle Practice

Client Question: May I ask for some ideas on how to use them in my daily practice?

My Answer: I like to use them in a psychic or intuitive reading as goddess empowerment cards as though SHE is passing on advice, wisdom, strength based upon Her qualities: her myths, the elements, etc. If you watch my Moonday Soul Reading Blog/Videos you will hear me talk about these goddesses in the deck each week.

p.s. on a daily basis I suggest intuitively pulling an oracle card to see what kind of guidance and strength you'll need for the day ahead. Inside the oracle deck box are printed some poems and myths as well.

If you want further guidance I also have 2 ebooks based upon the oracle cards as well as hard copy books that are part of my Ltd. Edition Set which includes zodiac goddess greeting cards too.

Also, I suggest investigating Goddess myths in more detail as well. Some of my favorite books are:

• Patricia Monaghan:The Book of Goddesses & Heroines Reemergence in the Cultural Mythology of Our Time

• Barbara G. Walker:The Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets

• Marija Gimbutas:The Language of the Goddess

• Vicki Noble: Motherpeace Tarot Guidebook

How to Bond With Your Oracle Deck

Client Question: I hear often in the world of tarot/oracle that you need to bond with your decks. Is that something that you would recommend with this deck? And if so, how do I go about doing that?

My Answer: I think bonding is a natural, organic thing that just happens and there is no need to force it or even try to do it ....similar to friendships, they just happen when we spend time with people we care about. If you want more tips about how to bond with a deck, I suggest simply working with the deck and getting to know it by pulling cards for yourself and others and by giving readings too.

Scorpio Goddess ~ Brigid

Brigid’s reign as sacred muse
spans centuries timeless truth
Priestess or nun
tending her fire
Brigid’s power
always inspires.

Brigid is one of the few early goddesses to survive intact through the Christian era. Brigid means ‘bright one’ as symbolized by fire. She is worshiped as a Triple Goddess by the Celtic Irish, called Brigantia in England, Bride in Scotland and Brigandu in Celtic France. In her ancient form as carrier of the cauldron she was ruler of smithcraft, poetry, inspiration, healing and medicine. The Christian Saint Bridget is often invoked as both muse and healer in continuation of her ancient rites and her rituals were preserved for more than 1000 years after she ceased to be called a goddess. Today little is left of the ancient Celtic legends describing her.

Spirit Animal of the Week: Otter (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Keyword: Shimmer
Meaning: Everything is easy and flowing right along.
Reversed: Are you missing the point and feeling left behind?

Affirmation: I am playful.
Astrology: Moon
Element: Water

Medicine: Your playful nature keeps me forever young.

Lore: In her mind's eye she was swept away by the beauty and the joy of Otter, her ally in whose captivating Sea Dance she could get lost, happily, forever.

You are my beloved, my playful friend, my trickster. You keep me a mermaid-at-heart and I dance in the water each time you visit my mind. You bring me joy!

A Soul Reading for the Cancer New Moon

Dearest Moon Muser, It’s the New Moon in Cancer on June 20 at 11:41 pm Pacific Time along with an Annular Solar Eclipse and the Summer Solstice. Time to go within and hear a message or two from your past which could take the form of a past life karmic flash, or an ancestor or an old chum that pops in. As the Sun is eclipsed almost totally by the Moon, we focus on BEING, not doing as we allow our New Moon Intentions for the Moonth to bubble forth.

Below, I invite you to Pick-a-Card and enjoy the video REVEAL I created plus read more about the cards too.

Luv & Blessings,
Kathy Crabbe, Soul Reader, Artist + Astrologer, 2020.

Cancer New Moon: A Soul Reading by Kathy Crabbe

Card 1: Behold (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I delight.
Affirmation: Dare I eat the fruit of my delight?
Element: Spirit

If this card appears in a reading it’s time to plunge into the dark and pull out hope. Whatever stressful conundrum you’re currently in, know that you HAVE the resources and inner strength and power to find a solution and gain clarity. You CAN pull it off. It may require some dirty work, so buckle down and get your hands dirty. There is a decent prize at the end of it all and it’s definitely worth fighting for. If you’re hesitant or un-sure of what to do next then think like a cat, independently. Think for yourself; trust yourself. Call upon your intuition and the Divine or your higher power. You CAN do this; it’s just a matter of time before all will be sorted out and you can once again move forward.

In my own life I sometimes need to get my ‘monkey-mind’ (when my mind is all over the place) out of the mix and be more fully in the moment, trusting that I am being guided and that I can indeed hear and trust my intuition. Like a muscle, the more I work it, the stronger it becomes.

Card 2: Sagittarius Goddess - Artemis (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

The Quest Begins:

- Seek new horizons
- Explore worlds without maps
- Quest!
- Be outrageous
- Look to the future
- Seek freedom from all oppression

 Sagittarius Goddess ~ Artemis

Artemis, Artemis,
Goddess of the wood
You are bows and arrows, death and birth
Midnight revels and pregnant mirth.
Wild woman, child, hunter of beast,
We find our true self when we dance at your feast.

Sagittarius Goddess ~ Artemis

Artemis, Artemis,
Goddess of the wood
You are bows and arrows, death and birth
Midnight revels and pregnant mirth.
Wild woman, child, hunter of beast,
We find our true self when we dance at your feast.

Artemis is the virgin moon-goddess roaming the forest with her band of nymphs, bearing the bow and quiver, avoiding men and killing any male who looks upon her. She was also known as the many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, a symbol of fecundity. As the warlike Artemis she is said to have been the special goddess of the Amazons.

Card 3: Wolf (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Keyword: Courage
Meaning: Be brave and strong for you have a task to do.
Reversed: There is a con artist close by so be cautious.

Affirmation: I am strong, wild and free.
Astrology: Aries, Mars, Saturn, Uranus
Element: Air, Earth, Fire

Medicine: Your wild heart mates for life.

Lore: She is my protector, my luv, my guide. With her by my side, I can fight the good fight, no lies, just truth, and shining eyes.

This beauty, her friend, her champion fighter was brave and loyal and her ally forever. His life was short, but his brawn magnificent and his heart wild and free.

Card 4: Cleavers (Fairy Herbal Deck)

Cleavers is like a calm sea at twilight. It is a place of ‘in-betweens’ and emotionally represents the calm time before renewed activity. Cleavers is for those about to begin a journey; a new phase; a change; a time to gather forces to allow recent experiences to assimilate and be made sense of, before moving on.  Take Cleavers tea for three nights before you set out on a journey and ask for dreams that will help you on your travels.
