Into the Dark: Winter Solstice & New Moon in Capricorn

Dear Creative Soul, When I sat down in my shamanic New Moon Circle to honour and celebrate the upcoming Winter Solstice and New Moon in Capricorn this is what I channeled:

Oh Winter, Cailleach, Ancient Crone, Dark Night, I listen to your Silence and I hear the cauldron bubble and the owl hoot. It's time now to go within, to the dark, dark place where death and ice dance our name. Beneath the earth we enter Her barrow, Her cave at sunrise, Solstice morn. First light we see touches our third eye through this opening: the Light...the Light...she does return and within her, Hope and Dreams and Seeds are planted. It is the New Moon in Capricorn so let us plant these seeds, these dreams and tend Her garden for we are called...YOU are called...the wheel turns and we reply:

I AM Goddess I AM God I AM the Light I AM the Dark I AM holding Circle Blessed Be

Demon by Kathy Crabbe (Creative Soul 'Lefty' Oracle Card)

Creative Soul Card for the New Moon & Winter Solstice: Demon

Affirmation: Into the dark you go: be guided, be brave, let go.

The lore is ancient when She was venerated and He was equal to the task. Blessed Be the Balance is shifting now ~ can you feel it? Describe. Take a moment of silence, meditation, contemplation then journal and discuss.

My Winter Solstice Vision As for me: I feel at peace; calm, quiet, centered.  The darkness is velvety. I am surrounded by my guides, totems and star beings. I lie down and they bless me as my third eye tingles. The Hag, the Cailleach and I peer into her cauldron and I get in ~ to die and be reborn. I wait for the perfect moment; the moment of Solstice, to be born as light returns. I scream then I sleep; a new day has come.

Intention Setting for the New Moon Let go into darkness and as you are re-born and the Sun returns, it's time now to set your intentions for the moonth ahead. Don't forget to journal too!

Gemini Full Moon ~ Pink Sweater Cuddle-Party

Relax...Calm...Quiet...Peace This is what I'm most in need of now and I bet you are to!

So, to celebrate this Gemini Full Moon, instead of a Geminian mindblast (all in good fun, of course) we're going to use our minds to induce calm. How does that sound? p.s. The material within this post was all channeled specifically by me for this Full Moon and if you're interested in experiencing the Body Movement Challenge pls. sign up for my free Facebook Circle here.

Gemini's Stone: Aquamarine ~ A Healing Song

O Great Mother O Proud Papa Bless this work I do now May we sing and dance in Your name. For God/dess is Good. Show us the way, the path of Peace a place where dreams are all fulfilled Let us sing (repeat).

Today's Full Moon in Gemini Creative Soul Card: Sometimes all we really need is a big pink sweater

Believe. Believe in you.

This is the Full Moon in Gemini ~ what is fruiting for you right now?  Are you happy? Give thanks. And lastly, thank yourself for being in tune with the Moon, the flow and the Divine wisdom you are a part of just by being present in celebration and ritual RIGHT NOW. Blessed Be.

For me: What is fruiting for me right now is my brand new job as a psychic reader at Gypsy Luv in Pomona plus my brand new meetup group ~ Moon-Circles and the students/Moon Musers who have already signed up for my Dec. 19th Moon-Circle (Temecula) and for my Dec. 21 Creative Soul Class (San Diego) where we will honour the New Moon and the Winter Solstice.

WHEW!!!! That's alot. And yes, I'm very happy, but also really in need of this Moon Circle and time spent writing, channeling, musing. Thank you thank you thank you with all my heart and soul!

Psychic Sunday ~ Thanksgiving 'Party' at the Owl's Lantern

Dear Creative Soul,

With Artemis and my mentor by my side I'm stepping up to the plate and bringing my own voice more authentically to the forefront of all that I do.  So, what does that mean for you?

My Creative Soul Classes are now called Moon Circles and my hour long Circles are now free (donation only).

I've also designed a new banner for this website which was based upon the badge I used for my Divine Feminine eClass which I've renamed the 4 Week Moon Circle.  I'll be offering this Circle at Mt. San Jacinto College and once again at Susun Weed's Wise Woman University in 2015.

Why do you need to know about all these changes?  Because I'm finding my way and I want you to know what that looks like 'cause who knows, maybe it will inspire you too. I'm spending more time listening to my guides and my ancestors. I'm devoting more time to my art-self (and really digging the work of surrealist artist Leonora Carrington). I'm learning how to speak in public through Toastmasters and through joining the Holistic Registry in Menifee, CA where I'll be giving 60 second talks and then hour long presentations (Moon Circles). I'm being HONEST with myself and with others about what it is I actually do (I've updated my bio to reflect this which you can read at the bottom of this post).  So if this resonates with you then you're in the right place.

The other thing I'm doing differently now that I've come out of my Hermit Phase (for the last 5 years; basically since the economy took a nose dive) is that I'm giving in-person intuitive readings starting this Sunday, Nov. 30 at The Owl's Lantern in Fullerton, CA.  And I'm doing readings differently than anyone else (as far as I know). I'll be channeling/writing what comes through and then talking about it and giving this written material to the client 'cause that's how I work best and I'm no longer afraid to stand up for my own weird and wonderful way of doing things. I believe it makes for a better reading AND a reading that you can actually take home with you.

New Moon in Sagittarius ~ Radical Acts of Love Light the Way

It's the Sagittarius New Moon! Free, fierce and fiery...Sag is a mutable, Fire sign ruled by the planet Jupiter, so hold onto your hats, things are heating up (even if the weather isn't.) Each New Moon I channel Divine Wisdom which I share in my Museletter and on my blog. Soul Readings and Astrology Reports are also available to start your month off on the right track.

Millie by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle Card)

Lefty Oracle Card for the Sag New Moon: Millie, peppery performer and star of her own planet. (from my soon-to-be released Lefty Oracle Deck).

Creative Soul Expressive Body Movement Challenge:

Hot is the flame. You ARE the flame. Stand, or sit up very tall; feeling yourself becoming the flame as you burn, waver like a flame, melt wax, dance, jig in place, alight!  How does that feel?  Don't just describe it, but rather DO IT; move or dance or sway - feel it, feel it, feel it.  Go into your body and ask it what it needs right now.

My experience: I swayed gently in place and felt my eyes burning.  I wanted to burn with passion and a vision for change. I wanted to cut through the bullshit and touch the heart through radical acts of love; transforming nations, killing haters; their hate turning inwards and onto themselves as they are no longer able to hurt others. My vision burns white and it heals, it cleanses, it transforms. I open my palms and I feel no heat...I am one with the flame. I pray and send thanks to the Divine for this teaching.

Healing Song of Chrysocolla (a Sag Stone)
Fierce
Free
Goddess Woman am I
Guided by light
Bright
Darkness I know
Crowned, significant
I cry out, "Blessed Be
Queen I am
Fear I spurn
I journey within
this Dark New Moon
and I honour You
with Bliss and joy untold.

About Kathy Kathy Crabbe is a Soul Guide, artist, author and educator. Originally from Canada, Kathy currently lives and works in the wine country of Temecula, California. Kathy created a Lefty Oracle Deck after spending 7 years drawing with her non dominant left hand. This awakened Kathy’s intuitive, creative soul in new ways and inspired her to help others follow their dreams. Since then Kathy has given over 1000 intuitive readings using her Lefty Oracle deck as well as teaching at the Wise Woman University. Her art has appeared in galleries, museums, magazines and on HGTV. Kathy formed a writer’s group in Temecula to share her ‘lefty’ art and poetry which she also published in a zine featuring local writers. Kathy and a life sized Lefty were invited to speak at an International Women’s Day event in Los Angeles that the LA Times dubbed “self esteem boosting” which was almost as dreamy as hearing her favorite song performed by Michelle Shocked in the background as she spoke. Currently Kathy is teaching watercolor classes in Temecula and surrounding areas.

Blessed Mama Earth Balls ~ Happy Full Moon in Taurus

Dear Creative Soul, It's the Full Moon in Taurus; an earthy, lusty, fixed sign that just loves life's luxuries.  This Full Moon I am feeling guided to share something personal since Taurus does so love to get down and dirty; hands in the muck so to speak, and I do hope you join me!

To start things off I pull a card from my Creative Soul Deck (aka my 'lefty' deck) for guidance.

Creative Soul Guidance: Ali

Affirmation: I believe in me

Ali, with the world on her head is a seeker and a finder of ways to help and serve human-kind; a heavy weight indeed, but loaded with joy and blessings as well.

Where are you guided to serve? And do you serve already, or if not do you have any wishes and dreams for serving/helping others?

As for me I've been a spiritual and intuitive artist for many years and I just love to share that with others through my writing, my art, my blog, my creative soul readings, my classes etc.

Creative Soul Challenge

In what ways could you better serve others and yourself in the process? How will you begin to serve or continue with what you're already doing?

I do pretty well in this regard, but I am also interested in public art projects which beautify sad and neglected places and help heal broken hearts and souls in the process. I am looking into a public art commission in Riverside County as well as reading an inspirational book by Lily Yeh called "Awakening Creativity: Dandelion School Blossoms".

Emerald's Healing Song

O Brave Soul you have traveled far to the Moon, to La Lune, to the Moon Oh Brave Soul who has known pain sadness and gloom Lift up your arms and shout, "I am here and I rise and I fall with Your tides and I am beautiful as are You." Blessed be.
