Seeds of Shakti: "Over the last couple of weeks, the Lefty Oracle Deck has been sitting on my desk like a loyal companion. Through out the day, I've caught myself glancing over at the deck and each time I've felt an immediate connection to my inner child. I can't think of another deck that has stirred up that sort of connection to my true-self. Kathy Crabbe is the creator behind the deck and her story of how she came to birth the Lefty Oracle Deck is inspiring, especially for those that live in a space where art and intuition intersect. In the interview, she shares why she was led to paint the deck with her non-dominant hand, who the Leftys are, and what she is currently working on."
One person's yearning #CroneClub
There is sadness here...and yearning, perhaps for words that never should have been written (or texted) but now cannot be taken back. But there is hope also, for forgiveness and moving on and forgetting that sometimes a friendship is not worth the struggle after all.

Let Go of Fear: Inspiration for the Taurus New Moon
Each month I share a Lefty Oracle from my self published deck to inspire your Moon Heart Journey into the mysteries. The New Moon is the best time of the month to set your intentions for the moonth ahead. This month the New Moon is in Taurus on May 15, 2018 at 4:48 am, Pacific Time.
Lefty Oracle for the New Moon: Homer, on the verge of greatness*
Mantra: I strive.
Affirmation: I let go of fear to be here now.
Element: Water
If this card appears in a reading it’s about time you asked yourself who you’re trying so hard to please and why it’s never enough. Instead of seeking approval outside of yourself go within and be your own best friend. You ARE good enough and, in fact you are the best YOU there is and the only YOU that will ever exist.
In my own life this card was inspired by my dad, and that story is a long one indeed. I learned a lot about what not do to in life from him, and for that I am grateful.
Creative Journal Prompt
Do you ever feel like Homer does, “On the verge of greatness?” If ‘yes’ then describe what that means for you and explain what it refers to as well. If not, then describe a feeling of being on the verge of greatness or something similar.
What does greatness look like to you? What meaning does it hold?
Are you on the way to achieving this greatness, and if so, what needs to happen for you to get there and to know greatness? Try breaking it down into numbered steps within a timeline.
Now, congratulate yourself BIG TIME for your foresight and diligence in acknowledging right now, that even without all this, YOU ARE GREAT just by saying these words:
I am great.
Thank you Divine One for blessing me and my work.
I am great and so are you.
Homer's Song
“Stop trying to be soooo great,”
my inner critic whines at me,
but do I listen?
No way.
I AM great
…in my own mind,
or am I?
Isn’t that supposed to be the End Goal?
Sadly, it feels like the race will never end.
If only…
if only…
I could be present right now
and have THAT be enough.

The Future by Kathy Crabbe (Crone Club Charm). The original is available here.
Happy Beltane! This is a day of love and lust...May Day! What future seed can you plant today and water and nurture and love to fruition? I'm planting the seed of our Crone Club growing here on my blog; a place for sharing secrets and telling tales. Is that why you're here? I hope so!
To be honest I keep debating whether things are starting off too slow with the Crone Club (i lack patience sometimes) but know that I appreciate your support dearly. I do wish that there were more of us! So, I will have patience and plant my seed of hope deep in my heart, watering it with tears and blood and wishes that we will grow stronger and stronger and stronger.
Blessed Be!

What is Crone?
I am a Gen X Crone; the first of my generation to go through menopause. I want to help women of all ages awaken the wise woman within in an empowered and graceful way. Darkness is the Crone-wise path; it is the third stage of life: maiden, mother, crone...and after that the ultimate mystery. We are Crone as we birth ourselves into this new stage of life; a second puberty that is so transformative.
