Here’s the latest review of my new deck by the lovely Rachael Caringella, artist, mystic and oracle.

A Few Comments by Rachael:

“My first impression of the deck was how cool the box was. It folds out into a beautiful informational work of art all of its own.

If you are wondering what foods or herbs are associated with each zodiac sign, this guidebook will tell you! It also features affirmations, gemstones, colors and goddesses associated with each sign… plus so much more.

The artwork on each card is colorful and vibrant in both image and energy. Each card holds such beautiful movement.”

Goddess Energy for the Week Ahead (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Sagittarius Goddess: Artemis (Moon in Sag Sept 21-23)

Artemis - Sagittarius Goddess

Artemis, Artemis,
Goddess of the wood
You are bows and arrows, death and birth
Midnight revels and pregnant mirth.
Wild woman, child, hunter of beast,
We find our true self when we dance at your feast.

Artemis is the virgin moon-goddess roaming the forest with her band of nymphs, bearing the bow and quiver, avoiding men and killing any male who looks upon her. She was also known as the many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, a symbol of fecundity. As the warlike Artemis she is said to have been the special goddess of the Amazons.

Capricorn-Kuan-Yin-by Kathy Crabbe

Capricorn Goddess: Kuan Yin (Moon in Cap Sept 23-25)

Mercy, compassion, grace,
China’s beloved Goddess chose this place,
To stay and guide enlightened mind,
Call her name and peace you’ll find.

Kuan-Yin is a feminine Bodhisattva, or Buddha-to-be and is the most powerful being in the entire Chinese pantheon and the chief symbol of compassion in the Orient.  Her name translates to “she who hears the weeping world”. By constantly repeating her name, it was said to bring peace and generosity into her worshiper’s lives.

Aquarius Goddess - Ix Chel (Moon in Aquarius Sept 25-27)

The Great Mayan Snake Goddess of water and the Moon,
Guides women in childbirth and those on the loom.

Among the Maya of the Yucatan peninsula, Ix Chel was the name given to the snake-goddess of water and the moon, and of childbirth and weaving. This night-riding goddess spent her energies nursing the women of earth through pregnancy and labor, taking special care of those who visited her sacred island of Cozumel.

Soul Reading Cards for the Week Ahead

Card 1: I call wrinkles god-points and so far I’m winning

I call wrinkles god-points by Kathy Crabbe

Mantra: I accept.

Affirmation: I am proud of who I am, wrinkles and all!

Element: Spirit

Song
To be perfectly honest, 
it’s not the easiest game; 
getting older. 

But each wrinkle simply means 
that you’ve got one more good story to tell. 
Whether it be a sad one or funny one, 
they ALL count. 

But truly, 
you’ll still be fabulous no matter what age 
and like a fine wine, 
you’ll just get tastier over time. 

You will also get to know yourself 
and with this knowing comes wisdom, 
and grace,
and blessings untold.

If this card appears in a reading it’s time to accept who you are in this very moment; no matter your age, weight, health, clothes, hair or yes, even wrinkles! You know, of course, that you are perfect in every way, right? If you or someone you’re close to is feeling ‘old’ and negative about wrinkles please remind them that they or that you ARE winning – you are alive.

In my own life I do the best I can to celebrate my grey hair and even my wrinkles which does require some chutzpah ‘cause it goes entirely against the youth culture we worship. I am not ‘old’ and I forget sometimes that I have wrinkles. But I have learned a thing or two along the way and I honour the wisdom that comes with aging. If we are open to receiving this knowledge and honouring our age by being honest about it, instead of hiding, distorting or carving up our bodies to fit an ideal we don’t believe in, then we are indeed wise souls that have learned a thing or two.

Card 2: Owl Magic (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)
