New Moon Messages: Oracle Card Pull, Soul Reading Story & New Kits

I lay in bed this morning and it came to me: I want to make today's blog more of a conversation, rather than just a set of headlines, like I had planned. That's more interesting and personal to me, and I hope to you too.

I could tell from last moon's blog that you really liked the Pick-A-Card so I'll do more of those, maybe once a month. And you LOVED sending me your birthdate/chart info for a free mini-moon reading. If you want more of this I may set up a small paid version for the new/full moons - lemmeno!

You also didn't appear to enjoy my radical zine museletter - too off topic, perhaps?

Here in SoCali things are heating up...yet, I can feel the BIG ONE coming... El Nino, that is ie. lots of rain, but not til Fall.

For my Omen Days Psychic Predictions for 2026 for June I had seen a hawk returning home to it's nest after a few years absence.

Are you coming home to your true self? 

I am; in the realization that I don't need to JUSTIFY myself - I am me, and that's enough. I will continue to be a soul reader, no matter what, even when times are slow...like now. (I gained this realization from reading one of the Seth books, which I adore, to heat up my intuition- they were channeled by Jane Roberts in the 60's and 70's).

Gemini New Moon Oracle Card Pull

Valerian Cat by Kathy Crabbe (Cat Herbal Deck)

Valerian Cat by Kathy Crabbe (Cat Herbal Deck)

With the New Moon in Gemini it's time to face fears and find harmony. Please enjoy the Valerian above growing in my front garden and info from the Cat Herbal guidebook below.

Valerian Cat is my mom's favorite cat in the deck and she has the original on the wall facing her bed. 

From the Guidebook

Valerian is calming, protective, and helpful in dealing with fear that blocks creativity and self expression. You can also make Valerian into love sachets and charms to guard against evil.  It is the 'herbe of witches' and beneficial as a Dark Moon tea for scrying, exploring reincarnation and any fears you have around loss of self and boundaries. 

Astrology: Mercury, Venus, Virgo 
Deity: Baba Yaga, Hertha, Styx 
Element: Water 
Healing: Nervous conditions

How a Soul Reading Brought Hope During a Time of Change

Judgement Mermaid by Kathy Crabbe (Siren Song Mermaid Tarot)

Judgement Mermaid by Kathy Crabbe (Siren Song Mermaid Tarot)

Next up is a snippet from a dear return client's testimonial of a new reading I created which is more of an ongoing mentorship experience. Jennifer L. smartly and kindly wrote out an extended analysis of her reading in response to my email asking 'how it resonated'.  This is something I do with all clients, not only because I'm really curious, but also to clear up any questions/confusions you might have. More importantly this helps you sit with your reading and break it down into what worked and didn't work which helps the reading settle, be digested, and allows you to learn all you can from the experience.

"The reading spoke a lot about grounding and self-care, which are both very important to me."

"There's a part of me that worries about the future, but something tells me, intuitively, things will be ok."

"There is comfort in going through the transition knowing I have that gift — power — strength."

"I've always had a strong intuition... I've been trying to get better at understanding signs and messages... maybe I should just let go, let things happen, and trust that inner knowing."

"In all the turmoil, I guess, my take-aways from this reading are to trust my intuition and know that I'm supported, and good things will unfold in time. While I don't really have answers, I have hope, so thank you.

Cancerian Goddess: Circe

Cancerian Goddess: Circe

Circe lured sailor
With colors and potions divine,
Those who were rude
She turned into swine.

Circe or ‘witch’ was a fate spinner and a weaver of the destinies of men.  She was called ‘The Goddess who commanded all the lights of heaven’ by Pliny an ancient philosopher. Circe lived as a witch and a weaver in a little stone cottage by the sea where she concocted magical herbal potions to ensnare sailors shipwrecked near her shores, turning the nastiest ones into swine.

Up Close and Personal this Aquarius New Moon

Dear Moon Muser,
It's the Aquarius New Moon on Jan. 31 at 9:46 PM Pacific Time.

I finally realized after 21 years of sending newsletters that the ones I most enjoy are really personal, so that is what I'm going to give to you today - Enjoy!

But, where to start?!

This year I'm most excited artistically with the 36-card Fairy Herbal Oracle Deck I'm working on. I painted it in the early 2000's and turned it into an oracle deck in 2008. Right now I'm writing the back of each card; filled with magical, spiritual insights, astrology, deities and healing similar to the 36-card Cat Herbal Deck which it accompanies.

I'm also excited about Tarot! I've been working with the tarot since I was a teen (and I'm 56 now) when I purchased my first deck, The Aquarian Tarot and worked through Mary Greer's excellent workbook, Tarot For Yourself. Other favorite decks are The Paulina Tarot, The Greenwood (out of print), Motherpeace and the Rider-Waite Tarot illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith.

The Fool Detail by Kathy Crabbe

The Fool Detail by Kathy Crabbe

Soooo...I intuited that I needed to finally attempt to paint my own Tarot! Whew! It is a tad overwhelming but I dived in (My Aries Rising helped, lol). The first card I painted is the 0 card, The Fool. I painted 100% intuitively, inviting images to appear in my mind's eye first and then painting them using acrylic gouache onto Montréal handmade paper (my favorite is by Papeterie St.-Armand). I wasn't sure if I could continue, but when I sat down again to paint out came card number 1, The Magician. Again, it came to me bit by bit 100% intuitively so we'll have to see if this continues, but I hope so!

On a personal note, I really enjoyed the documentary film, Alive Inside about what a HUGE, life-changing difference music makes for those with dementia. I also watched The Matrix 4 at the theater but had NO IDEA what the heck was going on since I'd missed Matrix 2 and 3.

Book-wise, I've always got a stack on the go and recently enjoyed Dave Eggers new futuristic book, The Every which is very true to the now - uber scary! I like how Dave is only releasing this book through independent book stores and NOT Amazon. My dear friend, astrologer Chad Woodward loaned me The Scalpel and The Silver Bear by Lori Alvord, M.D. and Elizabeth Cohen Van Pelt (required reading in his college anthropology course on magic) and it's fascinating to learn about the first female Navajo surgeon and how she combines traditional Navajo teachings with her medical practice especially when treating Navajo patients...so much to learn!

Magically, I'm re-reading the fictional book, The Midnight Witch by Welsh author Paula Brackston about necromancy and a coven in London, England in 1913. I usually have a magical, fantasy book on the go.

Cooking-wise, I continue to make recipes from different cookbooks that are brand new from the library for my husband and I. I'm loving Jennifer Segal's new cookbook, Once Upon A Chef and plan to buy it. It has simple, delicious meals with a Mediterranean and East Indian flair.

My husband and I continue to work on the two bedroom, bathroom addition to our adobe-style California home along with a large barn and it's beautiful! We created all the windows by hand using clear Douglas Fir that we stained a reddish brown. It should all be done soon so we can get to Canada to continue building our cottage on a lake near where I grew up in Kingston, Ontario.

About Kathy Crabbe
I am proud to be an artist and soul reader, in business since 1993. I love my work and hope you've enjoyed coming along for the ride and allowing me to be of service to you through all the creative, healing work I do. Thank you.

The awakening of my intuitive gifts came at age 40 when I found myself creatively blocked so I switched to my left hand which awakened my right brain and inspired me to create a Lefty Oracle Deck and become a professional soul reader. I have since published 4 oracle decks with the Fairy Herbal Oracle deck coming in 2022.

I live in Southern California and soon in the 1000 Islands, Canada for half the year with my pooch and partner in homes we’ve built ourselves.
