Death Empath, Ancestral Readings + Reincarnation

Thank you to everyone for your condolences over the death of my beloved big, black, sweet dog, Abby. Out of this came the discovery of The Rainbow Bridge poem and discovering how misery joins us together as I learned that many of you are also mourning a beloved pet.

Since I was a little girl I've believed in reincarnation. In this work I do traversing Otherworlds and connecting with souls who have passed over, I find my beliefs being reinforced again and again: our souls live on. This is a comfort to the grieving heart.

As I age (I just turned 55 on September 7) I face the loss of loved ones and I know that many of you are in the same boat. You may be curious or reluctant to explore the meaning of death and I am too but it can be so gratifying to try. Many years ago I consulted the astrologer, Deva Green and she said to me: "You can help people access the deeper truth of what reincarnation is - help people experience the darkness by exposing the limitations that are holding you there and grounding them in spiritual process." So this is what I strive to do and truly, I feel so blessed and honoured to be able to serve humanity in this way.

Since we're in the month of October, there is no better time for us to explore and make connections with Otherworlds, to ease our hearts and minds. If you want to make a deeper connection I offer soul readings, past life readings and ancestor/spirit guide readings here.

Sparkly Blessings and Much Love,

Card 3: Behold (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I delight.
Affirmation: Dare I eat the fruit of my delight?
Element: Spirit

If this card appears in a reading it’s time to plunge into the dark and pull out hope. Whatever stressful conundrum you’re currently in, know that you HAVE the resources and inner strength and power to find a solution and gain clarity. You CAN pull it off. It may require some dirty work, so buckle down and get your hands dirty. There is a decent prize at the end of it all and it’s definitely worth fighting for. If you’re hesitant or un-sure of what to do next then think like a cat, independently. Think for yourself; trust yourself. Call upon your intuition and the Divine or your higher power. You CAN do this; it’s just a matter of time before all will be sorted out and you can once again move forward.

In my own life I sometimes need to get my ‘monkey-mind’ (when my mind is all over the place) out of the mix and be more fully in the moment, trusting that I am being guided and that I can indeed hear and trust my intuition. Like a muscle, the more I work it, the stronger it becomes.

Card 3: Grey Squirrel (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Grey Squirrel by Kathy Crabbe

Grey Squirrel by Kathy Crabbe

Keyword: Inventive
Meaning: Your curious mind comes up with a brilliant solution.
Reversed: If only you could figure things out but you’re over thinking it.

Affirmation: I am speedy.
Astrology: Mercury
Element: Air, Earth

Medicine: In the spirit of fun and frolic, you keep us on our toes and ready for action.

Lore: Squirrel was her wee champion, full of advice all day long, and nuts, and smiles, and songs that kept her spiky thoughts at bay, so that finally, she too could sleep and dream of a better day.

Quick and sure, fast and alert, you keep me on my toes and in the groove – ready for action – my furry friend!

Beebalm by Kathy Crabbe

Card 5: Beebalm (Cat Herbal Healing Deck - coming in 2021)

Here’s the latest review of my new deck by the lovely Rachael Caringella, artist, mystic and oracle.

A Few Comments by Rachael:

“My first impression of the deck was how cool the box was. It folds out into a beautiful informational work of art all of its own.

If you are wondering what foods or herbs are associated with each zodiac sign, this guidebook will tell you! It also features affirmations, gemstones, colors and goddesses associated with each sign… plus so much more.

The artwork on each card is colorful and vibrant in both image and energy. Each card holds such beautiful movement.”

Spirit de la Lune Deck Review

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing an oracle deck called Spirit de la Lune created by Marissa Rankin and Rachael Caringella of Tree Talker Art.

Spirit de la Lune Deck Review by Kathy Crabbe

Firstly I love the holographic Moon-Glowing box - it delites my Faerie Heart - soooo magickal!

Then when I open the box the card backs are are Moon-Circle Round and perfect for shuffling in their thickness and weight plus they offer more magickal silvery glowing holographic graphics sparkling with sacred geometric patterns.

Spirit-de-la-Lune-Deck

So, for my birthday reading I pull a card for my year ahead and I sit psychically with the card for a bit.

Then a message comes to me intuitively:
“Get down to it.
This is it!
Center yourself in your Magic.”

I feel a space opening within me as though this Moon-Shaped Card is inviting me to make space for the possibility of excellence and I’m inspired to jot down my year-goals in my Moon Journal.

Note to self: “Oh GOOD! This is a deck with a practical, applicable vibe - I love a good list!” (Virgo that I am).

Spirit de la Lune Deck Review by Kathy Crabbe

Card Chosen: Full Moon Fulfillment 21

Next I turn to the Guidebook and it’s soooo thick and juicy with wisdom - yum!

Spirit de la Lune Deck Review by Kathy Crabbe

A Snippet of Wisdom from the Guidebook:
”I embody my magic, I embody my womb, I embody the power of this Full Moon!”

PERFECT!!!

More Guidebook Wisdom:
”Take a salt bath…honor your energy…celebrate your tribe.”

Spirit de la Lune Deck Review by Kathy Crabbe

Summary

All in all, the Spirit de la Lune Deck has symmetry; its finely etched, magickal, glowing powers simmer and bubble beneath the surface to speak to our Moon-Hearts; wise words of magic with a grid-like geometric precision. The cards are filled with Moon paintings and with Rachael’s beautiful animal paintings too within a geometric mandala such as “Wolf Moon” - to help us sharpen our instincts.

Spirit-de-la-Lune-Deck

There are several oracle card spreads within plus their meaning along with 16 Full Moon Mandala (‘Moondala’) cards (for the BIG picture) ie. Pisces/Aries Moon Cycle for the Seed Moon representing New Growth. There are also Eclipse cards and a Super Moon card along with 28 Moon phase cards for Daily Energy readings plus 12 Zodiac Mandala Cards.

Obviously a whole lot of research and interpretation has gone into this deck that includes an exploration of Moon Ceremonies which can be further explored on the website: Spiritdelalune.com

I look forward to trying some of the oracle card spreads mentioned to further deepen my own intuitive, psychic, clairvoyant divination practice in tune with Mama Moon.

About the Deck

The Spirit de la Lune Deck Set includes the deck, guidebook and a keepsake box all featuring rainbow holographic stamping.

The deck contains 56 cards of Lunar guidance including Full Moondalas, Zodiac Moondalas, and Moon phase cards to help you connect with the energies of the Luna. 

The guidebook is 200 pages  full of Lunar Wisdom, including  a full page summary of each card, as well as unique spreads just for this deck! 

The cards and the guidebook fit nicely inside a beautifully crafted keepsake box.
