Sparkly Blessings!

with his countenance of night.”

About Kathy Crabbe
I draw with my non dominant left hand. I started doing this in 2000 and it helped develop my intuition so much that I became a professional soul reader (psychic) and turned my artwork into oracle decks! My third deck is planned for release in 2020. I was born in Canada but now live in sunny Temecula, Southern California with my two dogs and architect husband in an adobe style home we built ourselves.

Queen Carin reigned from 2565 until her death in 2625. She was born on the Golden Planet Zephyrus in the small town now named after her (Carin-ville). She rose to power by shunning all contact with the Other Worlds bordering Zephyrus so that she could devote all resources to healing the many ailments afflicting her people ever since coming in contact with these worlds. She was the first and last Queen to effect radical change for the good and was abducted and killed for her troubles. She died in chains on the island Peploss but it is said that the golden flowers that surround her tomb are forever in bloom and that one whiff of their strong and strange odor will carry one, ever so momentarily to a place ‘without a care’.
