Who Are You on a Primal Level? Reclaim Your Power, A Sun Blessing

Jules, a pussy-cat with a tiger-heart by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle Deck)

As I channeled a message today for a podcast I tuned into the Sun plus, hey, it’s Leo Season! The host asked me if I had a message so I pulled a lefty card (see left) and tuned into the healing powers of the Sun and how important it is for healing, body, mind and soul. Allow yourself to feel the heat and warmth and healing Vitamin D rays of the Sun bathe your body (for at least 10 minutes a day), knowing that there is absolutely nothing else you need to do but absorb, heal and be blessed by the light.

In my current museletters, my subscribers may be wondering what the heck I’m up to because I’m simply sharing my poetry and a painting from my new series of Non Binary Nude Aliens and nothing else.

I’m giving you all a break! A break from everything, and a chance to sink into a healing poem and a painting, to sink into the moment, and be renewed.

Right now it feels like a good time to focus on our mental health as this pandemic continues to drag on and the ‘new normal’ is something we’re all figuring out. Allow yourself time and space to simply BE.

For me this is a mermaid time. Time to feel into who I am at a primal level, a level that resonates with my inner child BEFORE commerce became the be-all, end-all.

• Who have you become during these pandemic times?

• What mental health issues are you facing or do you need to face?

• How can you give yourself a break and relax into this Leo season?

Here are some of my poetic musings and again, I ask that you simply read and enjoy - there is nothing else that needs to be done.

MERMAID
Like a mermaid to water
I feel out ways
to be
an artist.
my readings another facet.

BEGINNINGS
This is the beginning
of what has always been
Before the machine of commerce
reared it's powerful head.

Let the games begin.

When did I give up my power?

There is so much more

TO BE
TO REDISCOVER.

How to Put Self Love Into Action With Help From Your Spirit Guides

Sometimes, no matter how much you’d like to give, you just need to give to yourself first.

Pink Sweater by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle)

Today is like that for me as I write to you. The oracle cards I pulled helped me with that and in turn I share them here.

I’ve been stretched so thin all week, showing one of our rental properties using Facebook Marketplace, something new for me. I had ALOT to learn about boundaries and protection to keep myself safe dealing with the general public after so long.

Self Love in Action
When I finished a client’s Ancestor Reading the other day I especially enjoyed SOAKING up the energy, healing and love and simply BATHING in that otherworldly realm for as long as possible.

I picked Yarrow and meditated with my ancestors, especially Marie Louise Dupont, my birth great grandmother from Brittany, France who I'd never had the chance to commune with before but she felt stalwart, milky and warm like new cream.

Reminder to Self
We need to give to ourselves first, to ‘fill the well’ so to speak and then we can more fully embrace our wholeness and share the love.

How to Protect Yourself When Contacting Spirits

I belong to the Mediums Group on Reddit - here is a question from Mylene that I responded to below.

MYLENE’S QUESTION:

I was able to foresee the death of somebody in my circle. I would greatly appreciate advice from experienced people!

Hello everyone, I would say I’m fairly new to the paranormal/occult world. I’ve always known I had an ability, but it really awakened in the past year or so. I experienced something intense this week and I would love to hear some advice.

First things first, I’ve been using tarot and oracle for about a year and a half now, so I’m pretty familiar and comfortable with it. Last week, I did an oracle reading for myself, asking what the world had in store for me for the upcoming week. The three cards that stuck out were a bit unsettling: They announced a very unpleasant change, that could be related to death. As soon as I read the cards, I got a really bad feeling. Shivers were crossing my body and I started to cry a bit. I finished the session and went to bed.

The week started and everything was going smoothly. A couple days later, I had forgotten a bit about the reading, until I received a bad news: the mother of a close friend had passed away suddenly. I couldn’t believe it. It was only the day after receiving the news that I remembered my oracle session. I started to cry again, shaken. It has now been 5 days since the event and I’m still shook up. I never thought I would’ve been able to foresee it. It’s the first time I have been able to foresee something major like this.

So, here’s where I need some advice. I’m the only person in my family who has an ability to predict certain things, so I don’t really know how to protect myself. I would like to hear some tips on how to embrace this part of me, how to really accept it too, cause I’m struggling to accept the fact that I have an ability of some sort. I would also love to hear some advice on how to take an emotional distance from all this, cause I don’t want to feel sad or depressed every time I’m able to foresee something. The older I get, the stronger my ability gets, so I would love to be able to better control/use it.

KATHY’S RESPONSE:

Kathy Crabbe, Artist + Soul Reader

It is very important to protect yourself when doing this kind of work. Saying a simple affirmation or prayer is a good start in connecting to your spiritual self and asking for protection - a must!

In regards to accepting this part of yourself, the intuitive part, wonderful to hear that you are open to this - a great beginning. You will be guided. Trust yourself, as you know, and be open to your dreams as well (keep a dream journal, if you don't already).

In regards to distancing yourself from your feelings, you must feel them! They are necessary. Allow them to flow through you and don't hold onto them. Write them down and then let them go (another way of allowing for the flow).

And YES, love to hear that your abilities are strengthening, as they well should! And yes, for asserting your boundaries and need for protection and safety in doing this work. Keep doing it and find a support group or support person to help you as you come more strongly into your powers.

QUESTION:

Thank you so much for your answer, it helps a lot! I used to keep a dream journal, but stopped a couple of months ago. I’ll get back to it for sure. I have to say, it’s very reassuring to hear from someone who does this for a living. I would love to find people who would be able to help me as my abilities strengthen, but I don’t know where search. Do you have any ideas/recommendations on communities that would be helpful for me? Thanks again for your help, I will learn to protect myself and be more cautious about it in the future! Blessings!

MY RESPONSE:

You are so welcome! I must, of course offer my own services in regards to strengthening your intuition and working with spirits/ancestors since that is what I do. Click here for more info: Ancestral Readings.

In regards to communities, I recommend looking in Facebook Groups, or starting your own in your own community.

Blessings and Hugs! Kathy Crabbe

Taking Off the Mask and Understanding Autism

Into the ruby red depths
of my heart I go
where I know
that power and peace
reside here.
Join me,
my fellow cave-dweller
on a journey
into deep space
where the buffalo roams
the eagle flies
the wolf cries.
Where we are safe
in our wild-ness
just be-ing
ourselves.

Wolf by Kathy-Crabbe (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Beyond the mask, we wear, for protection and safety, who are we?

It’s tiring, isn’t it, to mask up? Literally.

Or, is it?

For those with autism, who may mask daily to survive, the wearing of a face mask can be a relief.

No chance for others to notice we’re not smiling, or not showing Neurotypical responses.

We can hide and be ourselves without fear of judgement.

Now that the Covid masks are starting to come off here in Temecula, Southern California, we are exposed again, yet feeling tired of having to pretend; and put on a face of agreeability, especially as women.

How are you handling the coming off of masks?

Last night I attended my first party without a mask feeling some social pressure to NOT be the only one wearing a mask, so I didn’t.

I put on my party face for a half hour, this time really noticing how much effort it was taking.

Afterwards and in bed that night I still didn’t know how I felt about it. Later, I did. I felt irritated and exhausted.

I’m recovering by writing and painting and channeling with the help of GARNET (the stone) who speaks:

To relax
Go deep
until you hear
the fairies singing,
Shimmering
Fascination
Takes over.
