Love Surrounds Me

Dear Moon Muser,

Do you remember that moment when your dream, intuition, gut feel, or guides spoke and you listened, I mean really listened?

I do.

I know we all have this ability.
But, as usual, do we pay attention?

As a soul reader, I am asked certain questions a lot, about how to know if one is on the 'right' path or with the 'right' person and yes, I can weigh in with my intuition honed from years of practice into a bright light into a dark night, but my true goal is to awaken your own bright light and help YOU pay attention to the signs. Because Goddess knows, the Divines, our guides and ancestors send us signs ALL THE TIME.

This past week or so has been a challenging one for me as I witness the violence in the world and the speed and uncaring-ness with which we scurry and hurry to survive.

I loved watching a 2007 documentary last night about Sigur Ros, an Icelandic band that gave back by touring the very small towns of their homeland (after great international success) and playing free concerts attended by all - from babies to grandparents coming together in rapt, wide eyed wonder at the magical sounds of xylophone and guitar, violins, horns, piano and rocks being played while a high, high voice, straight out of faerie-land sent shivers down the spine ...

and I have hope, for us;
we WILL make it
and we will find love, we must,
to survive.

With Luv & Sparkly Blessings!

About Kathy Crabbe
I am proud to be an artist and soul reader, in business since 1993. I love my work and hope you've enjoyed coming along for the ride and allowing me to be of service to you through all the creative, healing work I do. Thank you.

The awakening of my intuitive gifts came at age 40 when I found myself creatively blocked so I switched to my left hand which awakened my right brain and inspired me to create a Lefty Oracle Deck and become a professional soul reader. I have since published 4 oracle decks with the Fairy Herbal Oracle deck coming in 2022.

I live in Southern California and soon in the 1000 Islands, Canada for half the year with my pooch and partner in homes we’ve built ourselves.

Up Close and Personal this Aquarius New Moon

Dear Moon Muser,
It's the Aquarius New Moon on Jan. 31 at 9:46 PM Pacific Time.

I finally realized after 21 years of sending newsletters that the ones I most enjoy are really personal, so that is what I'm going to give to you today - Enjoy!

But, where to start?!

This year I'm most excited artistically with the 36-card Fairy Herbal Oracle Deck I'm working on. I painted it in the early 2000's and turned it into an oracle deck in 2008. Right now I'm writing the back of each card; filled with magical, spiritual insights, astrology, deities and healing similar to the 36-card Cat Herbal Deck which it accompanies.

I'm also excited about Tarot! I've been working with the tarot since I was a teen (and I'm 56 now) when I purchased my first deck, The Aquarian Tarot and worked through Mary Greer's excellent workbook, Tarot For Yourself. Other favorite decks are The Paulina Tarot, The Greenwood (out of print), Motherpeace and the Rider-Waite Tarot illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith.

The Fool Detail by Kathy Crabbe

The Fool Detail by Kathy Crabbe

Soooo...I intuited that I needed to finally attempt to paint my own Tarot! Whew! It is a tad overwhelming but I dived in (My Aries Rising helped, lol). The first card I painted is the 0 card, The Fool. I painted 100% intuitively, inviting images to appear in my mind's eye first and then painting them using acrylic gouache onto Montréal handmade paper (my favorite is by Papeterie St.-Armand). I wasn't sure if I could continue, but when I sat down again to paint out came card number 1, The Magician. Again, it came to me bit by bit 100% intuitively so we'll have to see if this continues, but I hope so!

On a personal note, I really enjoyed the documentary film, Alive Inside about what a HUGE, life-changing difference music makes for those with dementia. I also watched The Matrix 4 at the theater but had NO IDEA what the heck was going on since I'd missed Matrix 2 and 3.

Book-wise, I've always got a stack on the go and recently enjoyed Dave Eggers new futuristic book, The Every which is very true to the now - uber scary! I like how Dave is only releasing this book through independent book stores and NOT Amazon. My dear friend, astrologer Chad Woodward loaned me The Scalpel and The Silver Bear by Lori Alvord, M.D. and Elizabeth Cohen Van Pelt (required reading in his college anthropology course on magic) and it's fascinating to learn about the first female Navajo surgeon and how she combines traditional Navajo teachings with her medical practice especially when treating Navajo patients...so much to learn!

Magically, I'm re-reading the fictional book, The Midnight Witch by Welsh author Paula Brackston about necromancy and a coven in London, England in 1913. I usually have a magical, fantasy book on the go.

Cooking-wise, I continue to make recipes from different cookbooks that are brand new from the library for my husband and I. I'm loving Jennifer Segal's new cookbook, Once Upon A Chef and plan to buy it. It has simple, delicious meals with a Mediterranean and East Indian flair.

My husband and I continue to work on the two bedroom, bathroom addition to our adobe-style California home along with a large barn and it's beautiful! We created all the windows by hand using clear Douglas Fir that we stained a reddish brown. It should all be done soon so we can get to Canada to continue building our cottage on a lake near where I grew up in Kingston, Ontario.

Early 2022 Astro Tips

Mercury Retrograde - hold onto your hats moon musers, it’s happening again and runs from Jan. 14 - Feb. 3. Expect miscommunications, computer issues and reroutes, perhaps finding unexpected purpose in thoughts gone wild - keep looking, the treasures are out there.

Mercury stations squaring Uranus and conjuncting Saturn - may be feelings of breakdown amidst the continuing chaos of Covid. Helping change our perceptions through cognitive dissonance, mechanical and technical difficulties. Insight into inequality via this chaos giving us a chance to see what really needs to change. Again, read the entry for Selenite above to help overcome the illusions of ‘security’ and ‘comfort’.
