Take a chance on ME ~ Sagittarius New Moon

Dear Creative Soul,

Take a chance on ME - it's almost the Sagittarius New Moon!

"Almost Cloned" is the name of the Fire Power Sagittarian Goddess I painted just for this New Moon and she says:

"Ya, today I'm feeling a little disconnected and apart from the world, but I still want to do my part and be of service. And if the only way I can do that is by drawing it out and sharing it with you, then so be it."

I've done my part. Now it's your turn.

Print me out and use me; to tell your story, to go within, to be more psychic, to draw with your non-dominant hand, to take a chance, and to be somebody you're really really proud of.

Then share it; with me; with the world.

Please return the favour and credit Kathy as the artist along with her website too: kathycrabbe.com I can't wait to hear back from you!

The Creative Soul Deck is coming soon Click here if you're excited + want to win a deck!

Scorpio New Moon Goddess

New Moon in Scorpio Blessings to You! Here’s a Scorpio Goddess to help you connect with the deep and magickal power of the moment ‘cause i painted Her during this New Moon and remember to set your New Moon intentions for the month ahead knowing that its Lunar Samhain as well which heightens the potency of your new moon wishes ie. Its the Celtic New Year!

The Scoop: Since beginning year two Advanced Training in Celtic Faerie Shamanism with Francesca De Grandis, I’ve felt the power building. I’ve also gone back to marketing and business; something I took a break from over the summer to focus on my abstract watercolor landscape series. I’m also honing in on business staples (but from an artist’s perspective) such as my mission, purpose, target market and unique value proposition thanks to watching and learning from Ann Rea’s one page biz plan and free videos. I’m also ready for a complete website revamp since I’m not too happy with how my WordPress site is functioning on a cell phone. I’m debating between two platforms: SquareSpace or Shopify so that I can finally sell artwork directly from my website.

Here’s a sampling of some of my latest Goddess inspired paintings which were created with both my right and left hands. Why? Because I wouldn’t want to get ‘too perfect’ or precious with my work so I like to shake things up by using both hands and uniting my brain, so to speak.

Finding your voice, speaking your truth: New Moon in Leo

Dear Creative Soul,

Thanks for your patience since I haven't sent out a Museletter since July 1.  I've been busy painting watercolors outside (plein air) where it's been an incredible summer here in Southern California; not too hot (until yesterday) and kinda monsoonal which makes for some amazing cloud formations and of course, incredible sunsets!

This New Moon is all about finding our voice and speaking our truth.

I'd like to reference this quote from The View From the Studio Door: How Artists Find Their Way In An Uncertain World by Ted Orland:

"At its best, contemporary art provides a stunning display of the range of freedom, diversity and pure creativity of the human mind. At it's worst we're left with art that offers only imagination without vision, goals without values, individuality without character."

Painting daily for the 365 Day Challenge (The 52 Project) has brought all of this questioning to the surface and I find that I'm expressing a very pagan viewpoint through my art. I'm expressing my values as a pagan; a nature worshipper, and my vision; to be at one with nature; not above or below, but at one. This centers me and gives my life purpose.

I paint and sketch in nature; that's my charge, my spark. Then I take those sketches/paintings home and I create new, more abstracted paintings by taking them to their core simplicity; their essence.  Which is exactly what I do in my Creative Soul Readings; I get to the meat, the juice, the depths. That's what matters.

Now, your turn: what's beyond your:

• imagination
• goals
• individuality

It's time to go deeper within and this New Moon in Leo is the perfect time to find out who you are especially with Venus retrograding here while conjuncting the Sun. Venus, ruler of love and beauty and relationships retrogrades every 8 years, so take a look back to see what you were doing 7-8 years ago - does it relate to what's happening now? What relationships, patterns, loves, are popping up again? Where does Venus retrograde touch your chart? (it's in Leo during this retrograde.)

By the way, it's a big year for me; I'm turning 50 on September 7th and I'll be celebrating by canoeing in cottage country with my dearest love and partner - ahhh, sweet blisssssss!
