Halloween Full Moon Soul Reading + Samhain Blessings

Every Moonday I share a Soul Reading Video and Blog with the help of my hand painted oracle decks to guide you through the week ahead. This week there is a Full Moon on Saturday in conjunction with the Witches’ New Year: Samhain (or Halloween). This is a time when the veil between worlds is thin and we welcome in our ancestors and wise guides from the Other Side to share any messages they might have for us as we in turn honour them with gifts of food and drink, photos, memorabilia and memories, heartfelt and magickal.

Abby-Girl

The beloved dead surround us, the unborn future waits…in this darkness we birth the eternal Now, for all time is one and magick awaits, awakening our intuitive heart in tune with Mama Moon. Blessed Be.

This Samhain I will be remembering my big dog Abby who passed away on Sept. 21. She was my best friend and I miss her terribly but know I will be with her again one day. I see her now with Goddess Diana roaming free and shining bright in the sky.

Luv, Kathy Crabbe

Hawthorn is a heart chakra herb that can help you express love even when full of anger. It can help one both give and receive love. Helpful for those with a broken heart.

Flying Fish by Kathy Crabbe

Card 5: Flying Fish (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Keyword: Free
Meaning: Your heart is free to follow your delight.
Reversed: Things are taking way too long and your patience is wearing thin.

Affirmation: I am daring.
Astrology: Cancer, Moon, Neptune, Pisces
Element: Water

Medicine: Your secrets reveal a way forward.

Lore: On air or in water, she could swim with Flying Fish, her ally, by her side. Sunshine and blue depths healed her inside so that she could dream, dance, and splash her cares away.

She was a dreamer AND a doer and Flying Fish led the way: to sunnier shores, where magic and lovers danced and swayed.

Mel by Kathy Crabbe

Card 6: Mel (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I dance.
Affirmation: I am free to be me.
Element: Air

If this card appears in a reading it’s definitely time to try something new. Perhaps step out of your comfort zone or get out of your own way. Whatever helps you shake things up and gain new insights and a new perspective. Be wacky, colorful, free, flamboyant for a change, or if you’re naturally this way try being quiet, contemplative, and/or inward.

In my own life I observed how this card helped someone very close to me as she was dying. Finding some lightness, humour and colour in your day can mean a whole lot to you when you are afraid and in pain.

Sagittarius Goddess: Artemis by Kathy Crabbe

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

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.

Capricorn Goddess by Kathy Crabbe

Capricorn Affirmations

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

Aquarius is the knowledge that all we do effects humanity.
We are humanity. We are love.
A new vision is birthed from the old.

Aquarius Affirmations

• I seek out unusual people and experiences.

• I teach unconditional love.

• I believe in the limitless possibilities of life.

• I am called to the circle where I tend the web of community.

• I am a force for change.

Behold by Kathy Crabbe

Card 5: Abraxia upholds the sky (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I expand.

Affirmation: I am guided by my own innate wisdom and in tune with Mother Earth and Father Sky.

Element: Air

If this card appears in a reading anything goes; the possibilities are endless. You have the power to reach for the stars and expand your consciousness into infinity. Your will is strong, your reach is far and your intuition is a guiding force. You are a power to be reckoned with. If you don’t feel this within yourself, then seek out a new friend or an old friend who is expanding in this way and watch their magick unfold. Learn from it; ask questions, analyze, intuit, journal.

In my own life, I find that this card stimulates my strong double Aquarius Moon so I push myself to reach deeper and farther into the mystery, untangle webs and uncover stars. My responsibilities as a shaman and healer are being tested, and I must become stronger because growth is change and I must surrender to the inevitable. The only thing we know for certain is that this too shall change.

Expressive Body Movement Challenge
Stand up (or if you prefer, stay seated) with your arms stretched up high and your feet firmly planted on the ground. Lift your arms as if you’re trying to touch the stars in the night sky (like Goddess Nut), bearing the weight of all this beauty and yourself. Feel your body as a conduit connecting earth and sky. You are a Divine channel allowing the heavens to touch the Earth. Be with this. Feel this. Stretch, stretch, stretch and imagine.

Card 6: Horse (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Horse by Kathy Crabbe

Keyword: Graceful
Meaning: With great pride and joy you charge forward trusting you are on the right path.
Reversed: You are at a crossroads, stuck and uncertain.

Affirmation: I am loyal and free.
Astrology: Jupiter, Sagittarius, Sun
Element: Fire

Medicine: Your gentle, spirited eyes kiss and heal the freedom lover within.

Lore: She called to her wildness and freedom unchained, at home with the wind, her beauty un-reined.

I hear you call my name each night before I go to sleep. Your gentle whinny in my ear tells me I am safe and sleep is guaranteed.

New Moon in Libra Soul Reading

New Moon in Libra Soul Reading Video

New Moon in Libra Oracle Card Reading

Libra Goddess by Kathy Crabbe

Forever beauty we dance and spin,
ride our chariot, harness the wind,
find divine balance within.

Card 2: Libra Goddess: Benzaitan (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Libra Goddess Benzaitan by Kathy Crabbe

Libra Goddess ~ Benzaitan

Dragon Lover
Mating cry
White snakes hover
Beauty flies
Divine balance
In the sky
Guiding talent
Battle cry.

Benzaitan or Benten was one of the seven Japanese divinities of good luck also known as the Dragon Woman and Queen of the Sea, often appearing surrounded by a retinue of white snakes. Benzaitan brings inspiration, talent, wealth and romance to those who honor her.

Behold by Kathy Crabbe

Card 3: 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 3: Grey Squirrel (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Grey Squirrel by Kathy Crabbe

Keyword: Inventive
Meaning: Your curious mind comes up with a brilliant solution.
Reversed: If only you could figure things out but you’re over thinking it.

Affirmation: I am speedy.
Astrology: Mercury
Element: Air, Earth

Medicine: In the spirit of fun and frolic, you keep us on our toes and ready for action.

Lore: Squirrel was her wee champion, full of advice all day long, and nuts, and smiles, and songs that kept her spiky thoughts at bay, so that finally, she too could sleep and dream of a better day.

Quick and sure, fast and alert, you keep me on my toes and in the groove – ready for action – my furry friend!

Beebalm by Kathy Crabbe

Card 5: Beebalm (Cat Herbal Healing Deck - coming in 2021)

Beebalm or ‘Balm’ is often worn and mixed into baths to attract love and success.

On Losing My Beloved Dog + This Week's Soul Reading for the Aries Full Moon

I lost my big, beautiful, black dog Abby this week and didn’t know if I’d be doing these Soul Reading Videos any longer, but instead I painted and wrote and composed a song for her and I share this with you in today’s blog and video dedicated to my girl Abby and to Love. May you find love wherever you can, for love IS everything.

As always, I suggest watching the video first so the cards below make sense.

Blessed Be,

Spirit Animal For the Week Ahead (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Astrology: Mars, Sun

Medicine: Your smile reaches us deep inside where our purr lies coaching us out of a funk and back into life again.

Lore: Each time the BIG CAT called her name, by Sun, by Heat, by Flame, she'd pause and remind herself; She. Was. Brave. So brave, that her fears had to run to catch up with her. Though her heart might pound, this party was Hers and the Devil wasn't allowed.

She was a Hot SUN Elf Priestess that travelled with Black Panther as her ally and friend. He warned her of danger, kept her safe, and allowed her time to dance and dream and make magic. He was a sweetheart too and she loved his big, soft sleekness on cold nights when her elf ears turned blue in the cold. Sometime his big pink tongue lapped her face until her brain quieted down and she fell asleep, hugging him to her; she was never alone or lonely, not any more.

• I am self-sufficient, self-disciplined, practical and helpful

• I am perfect just as I am

Card 1: Is this worth fighting for (Lefty Oracle)

Mantra: I am strong.

Affirmation: I am strong enough for anything.

Element: Fire

Song
See these arms?
They are not weapons.
That snake is energy in motion.
 
That energy unfurls my wings,
but I am hurt and lost
and crying out for succor.

In need of an end to this violence,
this humanity that is not so humane.
We ARE angels at heart
and our blessing is our beauty,
our human-ness.

Waste not your utterance,
for in you lies the way,
the truth be told.

If this card appears in a reading there may be fighting going on around you or within you. This card will help you get a deeper and higher perspective on the fighting so that you can avoid getting swept away by emotion. Healthy anger can propel one forward. Unhealthy anger festers and feeds on itself in a never ending loop, growing bigger in the process. Take a time out to figure out what the fighting is really about. Are there hidden agendas, buried prejudices, out and out aggression, hatred, petty rivalry or selfish mean-ness involved? What is the lesson here? Take the fight to another level to save your sanity and yourself, and to be a model of this behavior for others who may need this lesson more than you.

In my own life, with Aries Rising in my astrological chart, I often rise to a fight or even start one just for fun and often to shift stagnant energy and shake things up, but I lose steam if the other person gets too into it. This card and it’s snake imagery symbolizing wisdom, depth and healing reminds me to take the high road as symbolized by the giant golden angel wings and helps to bring empathy, compassion and a pause for breath to the situation so that hateful words almost spewed are never spoken, because some things cannot be taken back once released.

Card 2: Chickweed (Fairy Cat Healing Herbal Deck)

Chickweed is an herb ruled by the Moon and has powers of both love and fidelity. It was often used in love spells to maintain a relationship and to attract love.

Card 3: Sturgeon (Elfin Ally Oracle)

Keyword: Treasure
Meaning: There is payment owed so don’t take less than promised for you are worth much more.
Reversed: Giving up now may sink you.

Affirmation: I am mysterious.
Astrology: Cancer, Moon, Neptune, Pisces
Element: Water

Medicine: You teach us how to swim in deep waters.

Lore: Into the depths her cheery heart grew, until the sun and the sky melded with the deepest, darkest secrets of the lake and she knew, without a doubt, that she was home.

You are my secret weapon, my cherished friend and explorer of the Deep. You swim into places I cannot fathom so I follow your lead and swim head first into the depths. My lake-heart is filled with love and passion for our element – fresh water, clean and pure. We must protect this precious resource!
