How To Consciously Manifest Your Intentions

Hint, hint...make something and when you do create it with intention. Be conscious that whatever feeling, thought, intention you put into your creation whether it be a pudding, crocheted hat, daffodil bulb that you plant or a painting that if you create with intention that you WILL manifest your vision into the world and learn about life in the process. I painted "Fairy Cat" in this way and it makes her all the more special on a deeper level than imaginable. Try it sometime! What will you create next, with INTENTION?

Kathy Crabbe is a soul reader, spirit medium, astrologer and artist who has devoted her life to spirituality and creativity. She has published three oracle decks.

Full Moon in Sagittarius Oracle Reading: I Am Courageous

Sagittarius Full Moon Reading

Card 1: Alice Lives Here Now (Lefty Oracle)

Mantra: I am home.
Affirmation: My feet grow roots as I sing Her song.
Element: Earth

Song
And HERE is where I plan to stay.
My heart is home and I belong.
Finally.

If this card appears in a reading there is a sense of coming home; a feeling of belonging, complete-ness, rooted-ness. You DO belong. Acknowledge this as you let your roots sink deeper into the ground. Feel yourself gaining strength and power.

In my own life I often struggle to belong, but I find that when I do value and appreciate the good parts in my life it helps. Sometimes living in a place that does not feel like home helps us see what it is we don’t want so that when we do find our true home it’s all the sweeter.

Creative Journal Prompt
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to be happy with where you are right now. Name three things you do like about your life and where you live. Allow your heart to open in gratitude for these blessings.

Describe your dream home and what makes it perfect.

Card 2: Snail (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Keyword: Moonbeam
Meaning: The reward for keeping a secret is a delightful treasure.
Reversed: You are running out of time to finish a project and achieve your goal.

Affirmation: I feel deeply.
Astrology: Moon
Element: Water

Medicine: Your powers are soft and subtle treasures, moon-fed and grass-grown.

Lore: Into the night guided by moonlight her ally, the Snail, shared with her secrets and flowers
that bloomed just for her.

She was overcome with gratitude for the slow wisdom of Snail, her ally. His ways were simple and his love a bit slimy but fecund; he always led her back to healing with the help of flowers, weeds, herbs and love.

Card 3: Sagittarius Goddess (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Sagittarius Goddess Affirmations
- I stretch my horizons to envision the big picture.
- I see the glorious possibilities in everything.
- I am free of all restrictions
- I inhale optimism, courage and speed
- I trust in life
- I am lucky
- My courage protects me and my sisters and brothers

Sagittarius is a mutable (changeable), fire sign so channel that energy wisely this Full Moon to express your inner passion and quest for the ideal.

The Sagittarius image pictured here is from my Zodiac Goddess Power Deck due out this Summer. It is a 32-card deck filled with Goddess Paintings I channeled with the help of Mama Moon. It comes with a 20-page hard copy guidebook which will quickly become your go-to source for creating a Moon Cycle Goddess Altar. Everything comes packaged in a lovely illustrated box with goddess poems printed on the inside.

Our Pets
I can't stop painting sweet l'il kitties and doggies on wood! I believe that during times of crisis we can all use a little extra comfort, love and coziness to surround us and cheer us up and that's what pets do best. Here are my latest paintings at a very special price in my etsy shop.

Soul Readings & Astrology
Just recently I switched to offering my readings by phone (not the ancestor reading though) which includes an audio recording (and transcript) and I'm finding it to be a much more satisfying and personal experience than writing them out. My Ancestor Readings are also back after a long hiatus and I'm finding it a true honour and a blessing to connect with those who've passed over and to pass on messages to loved ones left behind. It's such a comfort and mind-blowing too, when we realize that the soul lives on. I'm working with Goddess Ma'at (after an ostrich dream alerted me to her presence) and with Goddess Rhiannon who are both Underworld Goddesses that help us tune in on a deep, psychic level.

How To Develop Your Psychic and Intuitive Abilities

This blog post was written a while ago in response to a question from a client and I’ve just updated it.

Andrea’s Question: "Do you have any recommendations about how one should go about furthering their psychic abilities? I've read tarot cards on and off, and seem to have a knack, and then of course there's my natural ability to "read" people. But not necessarily with dates & times and all that predictive stuff."

My Response: I personally like to learn experientially in a hands-on fashion, but my very earliest experiences with the intuitive realms involved private exploration of dreams and dream journaling, astrology, tarot and paganism. I began learning about these things in my early teens and have gone on to develop my natural intuitive abilities (which we all have) with the help of teachers, through group classes, workshops, lectures, books and private sessions with healers and intuitive guides.

Dreams

I started out by working with my dreams and recommend keeping a dream journal by your bed where you can record dreams when you wake up or by setting an alarm clock to wake yourself up at an odd hour to facilitate dream remembrance. Significant dreams will stay with you and resonate for years to come and you will begin to know which dreams are significant with practice. You can also work with lucid dreaming or by asking yourself a question before falling asleep and requesting that the answer come to you in a dream. Often dreams will allow you to re-connect with deceased friends or relatives and sometimes you may astro travel as well.

Update: Now that I’ve been dream journalling for so long I don’t like to request dream guidance very often because I often find that it disrupts my sleep. But sometimes on special occasions (significant moon phases/equinoxes etc) I will.

Astrology

There is much more to astrology than just your sun sign (determined by the day you were born.) Becoming involved with the study of the planets and stars will expand your awareness on a universal level connecting you with the bigger picture crossing generations and even universes. My own studies in metaphysics began with dreams, which led to astrology.

Recommended magazine: “The Mountain Astrologer”
Recommended authors & teachers: Steven Forrest, Barbara Hand Clow

Tarot

Tarot decks are a whole world onto themselves and can involve you in an ancient study of images and symbols with mysterious origins. Working with tarot cards has allowed me to access the many realms depicted in the cards. By working with a Pre-Celtic Shamanistic deck called “The Greenwood Deck” I first encountered one of my main spirit guides while meditating upon the Ancestor card.

Update: I’ve self published 3 oracle decks (as of 2020). Oracle Decks also help to stimulate our intuition connecting us with universal archetypes. I prefer to create oracle decks because I can create my own system rather than working within an established system such as the Tarot.

Recommended books: “Tarot For Yourself” by Mary K. Greer

Paganism
& Goddess Worship

I became involved with the study of paganism and ancient goddess religions when I was at university taking a Women’s Studies class. On a more personal level I was first introduced to this topic by a male friend of mine who liked to dress up as Pan on Halloween. I have attended several goddess groups and pagan rituals but prefer to practice my own solitary, eclectic and personal blend of reverence for Mother Earth.

Update: Currently I work within the tradition of Third Road Celtic Faerie Shamanism and was initiated into this tradition in 2017 by Francesca De Grandis.

Gemini New Moon: Open Your Heart + Blow Your Mind!

Dear Moon Muser,
Today I’ll be sharing a Gemini Goddess with affirmations from my upcoming deck plus a video of a guided meditation and Spring walk through a gorgeous cactus/succulent garden with 2 handbuilt adobes near my home in Southern California. I pull oracle cards (you can choose one to work with) and then we tune into our sacral orange chakra and green heart chakra to help awaken creativity, sensuality and heart energy. There is also a Protective Bubble Exercise and some creative play with Lefty Oracle Card, "Homer, on the verge of greatness." (inspired by my dad).

Sparkly Blessings,

Gemini Goddess

Lighten up that heavy load,
Release your baggage centuries old,
The philosopher within
Wants to sing!

Gemini Affirmations

About Your Spirit Guides

A client recently asked me how best to connect with her spirit guides so please enjoy these helpful tips from a blog article I recently updated.

Ancestor Readings Are Back!

I took a break from giving Ancestor Readings but am happy to say that they are back and it is my great pleasure and honour to connect and pass on messages from those who've passed over. To know and trust that the soul of those we have loved and lost lives on is truly mind blowing and heart opening.

Client Testimonial:
“A lot of it resonated especially how fiery she was and the use of ‘lady’. She did die of cancer which was very devastating and I think she was scared at the end so I am happy to know she is happy. The legacy (the boys) really stood out to me because no one on her side of the family has had any boy children yet since her, each having three girls. I talked to her brother and son (my father) about this and they were very touched. Thank you again for your energy and the beautiful reading! Is there any way to leave a tip?” ~ Brooke, Ancestor Reading, May, 2020

I believe my newest animal spirit guide, the Ostrich is helping me because in a recent dream the Ostrich in all her fluttery, winged gorgeousness approached me and licked my arm.

In mythology the Egyptian Goddess Maat, goddess of truth, took the form of an ostrich feather to be weighed on a scale along with the heart of the deceased as they entered the underworld. If the heart weighed more than an ostrich feather the deceased was sent to 'the bad place'. If the heart and feather were balanced the soul departed happily victorious to mingle with the gods and spirits of the dead. (Excerpted from The Book of Goddesses & Heroines by Patricia Monaghan)
