Breaking Through the Creative Barriers: Lefty Oracle deck Review by Tree Talker Art

The lovely Rachael Caringella just reviewed my Lefty Oracle deck on her blog. Read the entire review here.

Here's a few comments from Rachael's review:

"This deck holds a very light and playful energy to it.. and I know you will love as much as I do!

This deck made me giggle out loud as I flipped through the cards. It is bursting with playful childlike energy that I was desperately needing!

Something about the art is thought provoking enough that it makes you stop and really notice the beauty and message in the details. 

Each card is pleasantly unexpected and surprising. Like I mentioned, the entire deck was created with Kathy's left hand! This makes the movements and gestures raw, authentic and channeled straight from the most creative part of Kathy's brain. Brilliant."

Smiling Body Love this Aquarian Full Moon

Full Moon in Aquarius Meditation + Visualization
Channeled by Kathy Crabbe
for the Aquarius Full Moon on July 27, 2018

Take a moment to get relaxed and comfortable. Next, I want you to envision the one thing right now that could bring you the most peace, calm and quiet contentment.

Imagine yourself there, right there; allowing all your senses to open up and receive the bounty in deep gratitude.

Breathe into this contemplation knowing that you are well loved just for being you - that is enough. Always.

Repeat these words: "I am enough. ALWAYS" until your whole body is smiling.

When ready, breathe out more gratitude; for Mother Nature and for your guides and the signs that guide you.

Blessed Be.
Luv, Kathy Crabbe

Lefty Oracle for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Carla has heart*

Mantra: My heart is open.

Affirmation: I am all heart in tune with the universal flow.

Element: Water

Song
Heart to heart with open arms
I share
myself with you.

I am an open book, comfortably
intimate and revealing.

I expect nothing in return.
Just being with you here and now is all I ask.

Believe in me.
I trust you with my heart.

If this card appears in a reading get ready for the sun to shine upon you and all your endeavours. You have accomplished a lot in a short time and your heart is full and spilling over. Share this good feeling with others just by being in their presence. Your good vibes will raise the energy level of all you touch.

In my own life I try to share my own heartfelt, positive energy through my art. If it lights me up inside I can only hope it will do the same for others.

Tingly Love: A New Moon Flower Meditation

New Moon in Cancer Meditation Channeled by Kathy Crabbe
July 12, 2018 - 7:48 pm, Pacific Time

Rest your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, face, heart.

Breathe deeply and sink into the delicate (or bold) colors of your favorite flowers. Allow yourself to be held and caressed by their gentle petals. Smell them (or not, if you're sensitive) and feel their gentle magic light up your soul tingling all your cells.

Say thanks or give a small blessing to Mother Earth.

Now, go even deeper within to where the still, small voice inside resides and ask your question (if you have one) allowing it to bubble up naturally, like breathing. If you don't have a question then set an intention for the moonth ahead. For more support turn to the Lefty Oracle of the month below.

New Moon Lefty Oracle: Gonna Fly*

Mantra: I change.

Affirmation: I am free to be me.

Element: Air

Song
I'm ready to go.
To fly right outta here.

I know no boundaries
on earth or elsewhere;
above or below.

I am a force of nature;
divine in body AND soul.

My magick fills me
with purpose and freedom
and yes, flight.

I surrender.
I let go.
I am free to be me.

If this card appears in a reading either your spirit or your physical body, or both are ready to fly, move, shake things up, make a change, shift directions, vamoose! Perhaps this will enable you to see things from a different perspective or perhaps you’ll actually shift your reality in a big way by making a major change in your life. Whether big or small, this card signifies change. So embrace it, welcome it, prepare for it ‘cause it’s a coming…soon.

In my own life I kept pulling this card over and over until it felt like my mascot. I didn’t yet know what direction it would take me, but I opened my heart to receive and surrender to guidance and change. And move forward I did without mental distraction. This is how the Lefty Oracle deck and guidebook was birthed and exhibited in a fine art museum for all to see!

A Guided Meditation to help you Uncover Your True Mission

Why am I here in your blogosphere?
What is my duty to you?
What can I offer you within this sacred space and time we have together?

---  a moment of magic ---

a glimmer
sparkle
breath
insight

And in that spirit I pull a Lefty Oracle card and I write, channel, meditate this
Full Moon in Capricorn Reading.

Sparkly Blessings,
Kathy Crabbe

Full Moon in Capricorn Guided Meditation

This is soul work.
No need to write it down.

To begin, visualize yourself surrounded by ice.
Alive.
The ice contains and purifies your soul so that your deepest, purest, inner mission awaits you clearly.

Sustain enough inner fire to stay alive.

To 'see' into this vision of your mission call upon your guides, the Divine, your higher power, black onyx, or the Lefty Oracle tor assistance, if need be.

Know that you are in your mission. You are living your mission even if you don't yet know what it is.

Be in charge
of yourself
for a change.
Strong
disciplined
protected
inert.
Just
BE.

Allow thoughts to fly past you. This may not be easy (at least it wasn't for me!)

Now, place whatever image, symbol, feeling, sound etc. that came to you into your heart, knowing it will grow and flourish there. If you'd like to say a short affirmation or blessing, please do!

Blessed Be.

Lefty Oracle Card Message: Sometimes all we really need is a big pink sweater*

Mantra: I am vulnerable.
Affirmation: I am brave and vulnerable.
Element: Earth

Song
I want to get lost
in my pink sweater.
Like a cloud, a furry friend,
a lover’s hug, or a bean bag.

It’s comfort food
for the soul.

When this card appears in a reading it’s time for self care! What do you need to make yourself feel good? To feel pampered, cared for, loved? Make a list and do one of the things on the list every day for a week. Note how good it feels. Revel in it. Express it. Just plain enjoy it. It’s long overdue and you deserve it, whether you know it or not.

In my own life I try to take special note of daily pleasures; melted cheese on toast, warm sun on bare skin, hugs, and walks in nature on a dirt road. Sometimes I make silly, relaxing sounds to release my joy, sometimes I smile to myself and I give thanks when I remember. Life is simple at such moments but oh, so full.

The Birthing of the Lefty Oracle Deck

I became a soul reader at age forty after painting exclusively with my non dominant left hand for over five years. This awoke my intuition in a big way and taught me how to slow down and trust myself. In 2008 I created a Lefty Oracle deck and started giving intuitive readings that have touched many lives.

Growing up, I used store bought tarot and oracle decks, but when I started giving readings professionally I decided to make my own cards. So I chose fifty-two images out of one thousand lefty drawings and made a deck. I also took classes in clairvoyance and mediumship.

The Leftys are spiritual guides that show us how to release perfectionism to make room for simple, mindful ways of being. They are teachers and bridge builders that guide us to our higher selves. They show us, by example a freer and more playful way to live.

I hope this deck inspires you, your clients, and your loved ones to make creative and personal breakthroughs in all areas of your life.

From my heart and soul to yours,
Kathy Crabbe
