Sag New Moon Winter Magick

Dear Moon Muser,

I have missed sharing my life with you since the last New Moon! Last blog post I didn't get a chance to and I realized that what I love most in blogs is the personal touch and getting to know the person behind the work.

Winter here in Southern California is mild - very mild. A few of the trees are just now changing color: burnt oranges (Chinese Pistachio), yellow (Sycamores) and a few bright red maples. Dusk falls around 4:45 pm and it drops to almost freezing at night.

Samhain (Hallow's Eve) is the Witches New Year and I adore this dark time of the year, but also I'm so glad for the sun of SoCali. I am part Snake (born Year of the Snake in '65) and I appreciate the sun and warmth in the dead of Winter.

For added Fairy Winter Inspiration I'm reading: The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden, Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust and The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington.

My latest passion is Color Theory. I'm mixing, labeling, ordering and playing with ALL my watercolors and gouache on a much deeper and more analytical level, what fun! It keeps my Virgo, sixth house Sun active.

As we roll into the deepest of deep Winter days, I remember to quiet things down more and more. The busier the world gets the quieter and more contemplative one can be - this is the magick of the season.

With the New Moon in Sagittarius on Nov. 23 it's time now to set intentions for the moonth ahead, seeding your travels (Sag loves adventure) into worlds unknown, trusting in synchronicity to bring you all you need to expand and grow deeper, always deeper, darker, ever darker.

How are you inviting in the dark? Time to pull a card and find out.

Sparkly Winter Blessings,

Circe lured sailor
With colors and potions divine,
Those who were rude
She turned into swine.

Circe or ‘witch’ was a fate spinner and a weaver of the destinies of men.  She was called ‘The Goddess who commanded all the lights of heaven’ by Pliny an ancient philosopher. Circe lived as a witch and a weaver in a little stone cottage by the sea where she concocted magical herbal potions to ensnare sailors shipwrecked near her shores, turning the nastiest ones into swine.

Sagittarius Full Moon Soul Reading

Dear Moon Muser,

The heat is on and so are the art fairs and connecting more face-to-face with many of you! Last weekend in Irvine, California a lovely family visited my booth and commented about how happy it made them feel and how it was like stepping into a magical fairy tale - that made my heart sing!

I'm also tuning in daily to the old gods and goddesses on my walks through the wilderness of where I live in the desert valley outside Temecula, California wine country. Bobcats, the rare Mountain Lion and plenty of Coyotes accompany me along with hundreds of Quail and their babies, Red Tailed Hawks and as night falls, the Great Horned Owl, the ghostly Barn Owl and occasionally a whole family of tiny Burrowing Owls silhouetted against the desert sunset.

Astrologically we’re in for a very Plutonian (intense) Neptunian (watery) vibe right now as the US undergoes a Pluto Return and a recent Neptune/Jupiter in Pisces conjunction echoes all year long. Staying grounded is more important than ever as we focus on tapping into our intuition to help us stay connected with Spirit and the Divines in a world that does not recognize or honour this power.

Sagittarius Full Moon Soul Reading

I'll let the Sag Full Moon speak through me.

What is your truth?
What matters to you?

As the Full Moon darkens into the New, and Spring turns into Summer (or Fall into Winter if you're Down Under) take a moment to pick your favorite fantasy. Allow your imagination free reign to bring you comfort, joy - whatever it is you need most in your life right now - welcome it in - create your reality in your mind.

Make this turning of the Wheel Year Your TIME and celebrate YOU. You are here - you are alive and your heart opens wide.

Blessed Be,
Kathy 'Kat' Crabbe

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.
