Aries New Moon Inspiration

Dear Moon Musers,

I pulled a Lefty Oracle Card for the Spring New Moon in Aries and her name is Nambia, pleasantly present.  As I read this card energetically without looking at it (a special technique I use for soul readings) I felt the Power of Spring course through me, but it wasn't an overwhelming or strident feeling. Instead, it felt like I was sinking into a bed of wildflowers; all yellows and oranges, reds and purples, filling my soul with beauty and strength and resilience, ephemeral though it was, for Spring flowers disappear so quickly! So I rush instead to breathe in deeply as big storm clouds of blue and sky sail over my head. We need this fullness, this ache, this newness, to ground and center so that we can soar and dive and play in this Season we call Spring. if you're in the Southern Hemisphere this reading can also apply to Fall's arrival, so try it out!

Nambia, pleasantly present from the Lefty Oracle Deck by Kathy Crabbe

Lefty Oracle of the Month: Nambia, pleasantly present

Mantra: I relax.
Affirmation: I am pleasantly present and focused upon one project, and only one project at a time.
Element: Air
Song
I am
at peace
with
myself.

I rest.
I float
untethered.
Pleasantly
present.

When this card appears in a reading you definitely need a break. Take some time for rest and relaxation, to shed your worries, get pampered and have some fun. This is not a time to crack down and get busy. You'll achieve far more later by taking it easy now. Figure out an easy way to charge your batteries and make time for YOU.

In my own life, I love to simply just sit in nature, breathe in the smells and enjoy the sights; not thinking or doing anything, just being.

I felt it was important to portray the signs of the zodiac from a female perspective to balance out the predominantly male/god influences within society. We must awaken goddess energy right now for the sake of Mama Gaia, Mother Earth and our species.

This book which will arrive as a downloadable pdf (or a hard copy version by request - only 1 available) contains 45 full color illustrated pages of inspirational writing for each of the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

Virgo Full Moon Inspiration

As a Virgo,  this Full Moon calls to me with greater urgency. Can you hear Her as well? I hear a clock's tick; precise, Virgoan. I hear Her call to be of service, to heal, guide, mentor ~ all Virgoan qualities.  Plus, let's not forget Her quirk of humour, like a glint of sun in the eye signaling fairy dust. In a Virgo time, we tidy up, we re-purpose, we organize, we de-clutter.
In a Full Moon Time, we acknowledge all that we've accomplished since the New Moon when we set our intentions for the month ahead.

Virgo is not a flashy sign, so do take advantage of this energy to make a plan and a list.
List 1: Your New Moon intentions.
List 2: All that you've accomplished since the last New Moon.
List 3: What you must release beginning Mar. 20 at the Waning Moon to make way for the upcoming New Moon.
List 4: Spring Intention List with plans for the entire year. *More about how to make this powerful in a special SPRING email.

Full Moon Lefty Oracle of the Month Card: Song

Song from the Lefty Oracle Deck by Kathy Crabbe (Full Moon in Virgo altar)

Song's Mantra: I contemplate.

Affirmation: I sing a song of joy.

Element: Earth

Song
I call to me a flower,
this poem,
this life,
this magic,
where gentleness and god/dess preside.

I pluck a song
of forgetfulness
and gently, 
so gently, 
move on.

When this card appears in a reading it's time to kick back and enjoy life for a while. Relax. Sing. Play. Chill. What restores peace to your soul? Do it. If you can't find peace then find quiet. Give yourself permissions to let your hair down, kick off your shoes and be yourself.

In my own life I see grounding and peace in nature, in painting and in meditationl. These feed me, so I make sure to include at least one of them in my day and hopefully all three.

Mummy by Kathy Crabbe from the Lefty Oracle Deck

Lefty Oracle of the Month: Mummy

Mantra: I nurture.

Affirmation: Shush! I quiet my outsides so my inner voice can be heard.

Element: Spirit

Song
I am enclosed.
Silence
completes me.

When you pull this card in a reading it’s definitely not a time to charge forward. You need to lay low and take care of yourself right now. Self care is number one so find a way to nurture yourself body, mind and soul. You deserve it.

In my own life when I painted this card I actually had a cold and was feeling very inward, needing time to recover and take care of myself first.

Creative Journal Prompt:
What feeds you? What keeps you going and fulfills you? Is this a part of your daily work or play or even your dreams at night?

Quick, the fairies are calling you; can you see that flash of light, that wee sprite, out of the corner of your eye?  She is calling your name.

You are the mummy now; the mummy of your own inner dreams. Take time out to acknowledge yourself.

Take time out for you.

Wrap yourself up like a mummy, in protective layers so that YOU, yes YOU can hear your own thoughts without distraction.

Allow the Divine to speak through you, trusting that the advice she has for you is going to be good for all of us.

Allow the group mind, the myriad of voices, the universal, co-creative, collective consciousness to speak through you by listening to your heart and soul.

Allow this energy to fill your soul with light for you are love and all you touch is loved.

Spotlight on Piscean Artist: Teresa Goodin

1. What aspect of creating your art or craft do you find the most enjoyable?

I enjoy collecting materials for making art. I have a large collection of books and magazines that I source images from to create collages. I am always on the look out for 2nd hand illustrated books at markets and charity shops. I used to create assemblages, but gave it up during a major de-cluttering phase, because I didn’t want to hoard objects anymore (still a work in progress).

I get a bit obsessed when I create collages, I tend to get absorbed in the process and won’t stop working until an artwork is resolved or completed. It can take many hours to find the right images and create a composition, so I really enjoy completing an artwork, it’s very satisfying when I glue down that final piece of paper

2.What originally got you started creating your art or craft?

During Art School I started creating collages in books. I was using collage to express and process different emotions and states of being. Collage allowed me to develop my own personal, secret and symbolic language. It was like writing in a diary using encrypted code and I was the only one who knew how to decipher the code (a psychologist may dispute that!) As I have matured my collages have become less about my own personal awareness and healing and more about the transpersonal.

3.     Creatively, who has inspired you the most, and why?

My mother was always creating when I was growing up, including costume designing, pottery, tiling, landscaping, gardening and painting…so she is my primary creative influencer. As a young adult I was drawn to sacred art including Tibetan Buddhist, Native American and Mayan art. I love vibrant colors and geometry, New Zealand abstract painters Gretchen Albrecht and Max Gimblet particularly inspire me. I love the ephemeral land art of Andy Goldsworthy and the beautiful film work of cinemaphotographer Ron Fricke.

Wairuatanga: Spirit, hand crafted collage, 1000mm x 600mm, 2012

'Wairuatanga: Spirit' is an interpretation of Elfshood Orchid, Pterostylis banksii, Fairy of the Rainbow Bridge Essence. This artwork is from 'Te Wheke: The Eight Dimensions of Wellbeing' Series by Teresa Goodin

4.     How did you decide what medium to work in?

At Art School I majored in printmaking and photography, however by the time I graduated I was using collage more than any other process. One of the reasons I continued to work with collage is because it’s so cheap and accessible, I don’t need film, chemicals, ink, a printing press or darkroom to create work, I just need scissors and glue.

Collage is also a very meditative process. I can let go of technical concerns and just get lost in the process. I can let the left-brain have a rest and let my intuition take charge of the process. Feeling and observing my response to the colors and images guides the process. After a few hours of creating I tend to enter an altered state, which enables me to gain insights and make connections. Collage allows me to create a bridge between the conscious mind and the unconscious. It can be a very powerful healing process, if I allow myself to let go into the process.

5.     How does your zodiac sign influence your creativity?

I have four planets in Pisces (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus) and I think this is reflected in my artwork through my use of symbols, the language of the unconscious. My artworks are often surreal and dream like. My artwork has a strong transpersonal focus and I’m interested in promoting individual and collective harmony, healing and transformation. Through symbols and the language of the soul I am striving to touch the essence of the viewer, invoking balance, integration and wholeness.

6.     What do you like best about your sign and least?

I appreciate the Piscean gift of vivid and rich imagination. I find the escapist tendencies of the fish and it’s urge to dive deep under the water a challenge to navigate at times.

7.     What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art or craft?

The beauty and healing power of nature.

8.     If you had to choose a fruit or vegetable to describe yourself, what would you choose and why?

A dragon fruit, because it’s bright, exotic and mysterious.

9. If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your creativity, what would that be and why?

I have been collecting beads and gem stones for a few years and I have a jewelry project waiting in the wings. I intend to make three medicine necklaces related to the Medicine Woman Apprenticeship I have been involved with over the past few years. I’ve also been thinking about making short films for a quite a while, using images, color, geometry and sound to take the viewer on a meditative healing journey.   

10.  What advice do you have for others who are just starting to develop creatively?

Always follow your heart!
