Dear Moon Muser,
It's the Gemini Full Moon which is alllll about communication so I share with you some intuitively chosen quotes from my favorite books (faeire infused!) and my latest paintings directly inspired by them.
Sparkly Blessings!

with his countenance of night.”

or not at all,
to sew her body
to the ground with worms”

About Kathy Crabbe
I draw with my non dominant left hand. I started doing this in 2000 and it helped develop my intuition so much that I became a professional soul reader (psychic) and turned my artwork into oracle decks! My third deck is planned for release in 2020. I was born in Canada but now live in sunny Temecula, Southern California with my two dogs and architect husband in an adobe style home we built ourselves.
Kathy’s work has been featured in We’Moon Datebook, Sage Woman Magazine, Sawdust Art Festival and the Women’s Museum of California. She writes a moon column for Witches and Pagans and is a mentor at Wise Woman University where she teaches a Divine Feminine eClass.
