Samhain Hallowmas Blessings from the Ancestors Plus Ghostly Tips

I am back to soul readings and quiet meditation, my library, big skies and stars, warm days, cool nights and lots of psychic-intuitive goings-on such as California is famous for; how I've missed this!

I am here to be of service as a soul reader, astrologer, past life reader, medium, and of course through my art and five oracle decks, the latest (coming in 2025) is a Mermaid Tarot Deck titled "Siren Song."

Channeled Message

May the ancestors speak, this Samhain,
to you and yours.
May their gentle touch, sign or symbol
grace your path.
Never forgotten,
we hold dear to these glimpses from Beyond.
May the veil be thin.
May your heart be open.
May you meet soul to soul
your always and forever beloved.

Ghostly Tip

To prevent harmful and unhelpful ancestors coming through when the veil is thin sprinkle or envision the wild herb Nettle around your home for protection. Below is the Nettle Card from my Cat Herbal Deck to help with that.

About Kathy Crabbe

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember, and my journey as a soul reader began at the age of forty, after five years of painting with my non-dominant left hand. This practice profoundly enhanced my intuition. In 2008, I created the Lefty Oracle deck and began offering intuitive soul readings, touching many lives in profound and playful ways.

How to Make Magick Happen with The Magician Tarot Card

I am proud to say that I just finished my Siren Song Tarot Deck! This deck will be a majors-only deck of 22 cards with the meaning on the back, all packaged in a cloth bag. I will also have a chapbook of tarot poetry and coloring book pages as well (most likely in 2025). 

Painting and writing poems for the mermaids has brought so much enchantment, bliss and purpose into my life and I hope they do so for you too.

Below is the last watercolor painting from the deck completed this Monday, "The Magician". Here is her poem and some paraphrased questions from the inspirational Tarot Workbook by Mary Greer.

1-Magician-Mercury

1. What are you focusing on energetically?
2. Are you clear in your purpose?
3. What gifts and skills do you bring to the table?
4. How are you sharing your talents with others?
5. What do you want others to receive, believe or see?

The Mermaid Magician Poem

Let me drown
quickly
beautifully
So I may become
mermaid again.

Carry me to
my Sea Home.
Let me be
brave enough
to swim,
breathe in
dark oxygen
created 12,000 feet under the ocean surface
in the deepest of the deep
waters.

These polymetallic nodules or “battery rocks”
make miracles
keeping us alive
when we plunge
so deep
it feels like we’ll
never return.

About Kathy Crabbe

How Does A Soul Reading Benefit Your Spirit?

Holding you in sacred space is what I do best; through a soul reading, a spiritual painting; in laughter, tears and insights.

I do this via distance soul readings which I send to you as an audio recording (or we can talk by phone) in response to your questions and issues.

How is that possible?

Energy travels; it's all around us, in our cells, interconnecting us and expanding our consciousness if we are open to the shifts, to the Divines, to our ancestors and to our selves.

Soul Work or Spirit Work is deep, magical, world-building, power shaping and chirotic.

We build our intuition by using it. Sometimes when we ignore it our body speaks up and says "No" (learn more about this in the excellent book "When the Body Says No" by Dr. Gabor Maté).

This morning I considered a Print-On-Demand (POD) service for making prints of my new mermaid paintings while I'm at my cottage in the Thousand Islands, Canada and almost immediately my right upper back sharply protested. OWOWOW! WTF?! So I rethought things, checked for hidden subconscious anger to release and decided, NO PRINTS using POD!

We will camp enroute in our Rooftop Tent that sits on top of our Subaru along with my husband Mark and our wee rescue dog, Djinn Djinn. I have a very few spots open for soul readings until the end of July, 2024 and then readings will re-open again by the end of August, 2024.

Sparkly Blessings!

I Hear the Call of Spirit: How to Connect with the Judgment Tarot Card

This week’s mermaid painting from my upcoming Siren Song Tarot deck depicts the Judgment Card (Pluto) in the Major Arcana. To help you delve more deeply into the meaning of this card here are some questions paraphrased from Mary Greer’s excellent book “Tarot for Yourself: A Workbook for Personal Transformation”.

• What is calling to your spirit right now?

• Are you experiencing any realizations or epiphanies transforming your reality?

• Who are what are you connecting with on a soul deep, cellular level?

The Spirit of a Poet by Kathy Crabbe.

I hear the Call of Spirit,
of witches, mermaids, fae;
naturally neurodivergent,
weirdos, outcasts, whistle blowers,
misunderstood, attacked, cancelled.

How do we find each other?
Learn from one another?
Change the world together?

Why Get A Soul Reading?

Dear Moon Muser,

When I channel for you in a soul reading I bring insights from the Divines and the ancestors. I ask only for the deepest, highest good for all concerned. I remain grounded in my Virgo Sun, of healing service to you and your questions.

Why?

Because I must. I must be of service and I love traveling between worlds as the messenger whilst gounding those messages in the real world where we can make practical use of their guidance.
