Cancer Goddess ~ Circe

Circe lured sailors
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.

About Kathy: Kathy Crabbe has been an artist and writer forever and a soul reader since awakening her intuitive gifts at age forty after five years painting with her non-dominant left hand. This awoke her intuition in a big way. In 2008 she created a Lefty Oracle deck and started giving intuitive soul readings that have touched many lives in profound and playful ways. Kathy lives in sunny Southern California with her pet muses and architect husband in an adobe-style home they built themselves.

Flaunt it Baby, If Ya Got It - This Leftys Got Style! New Exhibit at RAM

Ckhallita show-girl with style is from my Lefty Oracle Series and is now hanging at the Riverside Art Museum in an exhibit called Carioca Soul. She will be on display from June 16-August 18, 2016 and she'd love to flaunt her stuff for you so stop on by. Learn more about my upcoming Lefty Oracle Deck here.

Carioca Soul expresses the feeling of Rio de Janeiro, host to this year's Summer Olympics. The exuberant nature of Cariocas is a mirror of a living scenario, framed by the vibrant nature and human warmth of a city that lives joyfully and likes to share its sky, its ocean, and its happiness.

New Moon in Gemini Musings

'Just relax,' I say to myself as I sit down to write this New Moon blog post. Look around you at the little things that matter; the feathers, tiny wildflowers and stones on your altar. Nothing fancy, just small things gathered along the way.

What if, instead of searching and waiting for the BIG moments and revelations I look at the little things already there? Like, how my little dog Djinn Djinn's eyes slowly close as I gaze at her or how cool the sunlight feels today (a welcome relief from too hot sunny SoCal's usual blast), or how my toes feel free and naked wiggling around on my bedroom carpet as I write this. Writing these words is simple and easy and true; again, nothing special, but lovely all the same.

But when I share with you that being a soul reader is also 'nothing special' I don't believe it. So, I pull a Lefty Oracle card from my deck and channel this:

Just speak from the heart,
I care
enough
to be brave
and this becomes "nothing special"
that IS my reward
knowing that in living like this
I am fulfilling my destiny;
it's simply what I do.

Here's a video I made of this.
