Return of the Sea Elf

Check for available prints at CreativeSoulGuides.com

Have you ever heard of a Sea-elf before? Part mermaid, part elf. I hadn't until yesterday when she appeared to me. Quite thin, poor wee thing, but then perhaps it allows her to travel between worlds more easily. Her skin is quite metallic (green-grey) which keeps her warm underwater and protects her skin from harmful rays above. She seems to me quite serious. Is she contemplating (like Circe) and the Sirens a way to lure unsuspecting sailors to their doom? I don't think so. If you meet her in one of your dreams; why not ask her yourself.

About the Creative Soul Guides ~ Art to Awaken Your Creative Soul by Kathy Crabbe

Creative Soul Guides help us enter into other realms; realms where inspiration, quirkiness, love, and being different are okay.

This series was painted by Kathy Crabbe using her non-dominant left hand. This awakened Kathy’s intuition and she started giving Creative Soul Readings using a deck of 80 cards.

Stay tuned for Kathy’s upcoming Creative Soul Class.

Embrace One-ness: A Spirit Guided Vision

Channeling Paloma of the Here and Now

Arms spread wide, black hair flowing out, I stand with my back against Paloma, her arms around me. I can feel her heart beating.

Black flames race out from her fingertips encircling us, encircling the whole world.

I stand. I wait. I feel Her power.

Kathy Crabbe, Paloma, 2013, mixed media on paper, 5 x 8”

I repeat the words:

You are not your paintings.

You are not your work.

You are Divine.

You are Goddess.

Let go.

Let go.

Embrace the One-ness

Embrace the One-ness.

And I smile and feel my shoulders relax, a weight has lifted. I breathe in the morning.

I can do it. You can too. Whatever is making you miserable and bringing you down, know that you too will get though this.

Paloma lifts me up onto a stone ledge so that I am facing her. We are in a Cretan Cave of Red Bulls.* I place my hands upon red imprints of other hands on the cave walls feeling Herstory within me.

Like a jackal I howl; a thin, mournful sound that echoes back at me increasing in depth until it blends with my heartbeat.

Then we laugh, our teeth bared and shining...the Moon beckons and we go.

Daily Magic: Full Moon in Virgo Blessing

Kathy Crabbe, Full Moon Blessings, 2013, ink & watercolor on paper, 5 x 7”.

Welcome to my newest series of paintings titled Daily Magic: Pictures & Words to Wish Upon. This series is dedicated to Sally.  It will also appear in Susun Weed's new member's only site at www.wisewomanmentor.com where I have been invited to be a mentor columnist as well as exhibit my art in the Goddess Art Gallery. I actually got my start in online teaching at Susun Weed's Wise Woman University where I offered my eClass Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul which is currently being offered on my own site as a self-study program.

The first painting in this series is titled Full Moon Blessings and was painted to honour Mother Moon as she passed through the sign of Virgo a few days ago. My intention with this series is to create a painting a day using magical forms and shapes with the power to make magic happen, to bring form into being, to change the future and to transform the present. It will be a book of:

• Mystical forms
• Power sayings
• Beauty
• Whimsy
• Healing
• Teaching
• Intention
• Wishing
• Truth
• Knowing
• Wisdom
• Ancient wisdom
• Power
• Strength
• Sweetness
• A Muse
• Strange

About the Moon in Virgo: Mutable Earth-sign Virgo gets us back to work; it's time to evaluate our harvest, put sweat equity in all our dreams and educate others with all we know and all we intend. Virgo asks us to proceed, not with judgment but with healing; tune up our health, edit our life. Virgos are our natural counselors, healers, and teachers; they evaluate, diagnose and edit with ease. They have finely-tuned minds and nervous-systems, and are acutely aware of the mind-body connection; ideas and facts are their bouquet. They're asked to focus on the harvest, not the weeds.

Excerpted from the We'Moon Datebook.

I'm a Virgo with several planets in the 6th House, the Virgo House (an über Virgo you could say!) and I completely relate to everything above.
