They bring me such joy!” ~ Nina Riel, Shuffle Tarot, Rune Deck Creator, Card Slinger, Energy Healer, Reiki Master (Cat Herbal Deck)

"I’m struck by the sweetness of the art work on this deck, the thoughtfulness in the card meanings, and I’m loving that it’s square in shape. I also feel like my daughter would totally dig this oracle deck! (She’s 12 & pulls cards too!) Thank you, Kathy!" ~ Jen Berlingo, Art Sorceress, Art Therapist, LPC, ATR (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

"Kathy Crabbe's Elfin Ally Oracle Deck is a joy to work with. Kathy's artwork is beautiful and using this deck is like having a chat with a trusted friend. The messages are uplifting and heartfelt but they do look at both sides of the coin, giving the reader some tough love when required. This deck would be a helpful ally for anyone who resonates with the elementals, faery and earth energy, the animal kingdom and the divine feminine." ~ Victoria 'Vix' Maxwell, Soul Reader, Business Mentor + Author

“Love that image!” ~ Janet Decker Yanez, Artist/Curator/Director, Ground Floor Gallery + Studios

“The Leftys are delicious!” ~ Susun Weed, Voice of the Wise Woman Tradition of Herbal Healing.

“I am head-over-heels for this wonderful deck! I have been wanting an oracle deck for a good while now, but wanted to wait until the right one came along. And oh my goodness, was this one worth waiting for. The art is breathtaking (y'all, the colors!) and the meaning behind each card carries such wisdom. The overall energy of the deck is gentle, lovely and to-the-point. The seller is AMAZING and shipping was perfect. Thank you, Mz. Kathy!” ~ Stacie Tyson, (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

“I like how colorful this deck is…and the style: loose, relaxed, fun and uplifting…a good way to learn about certain herbs…a neat deck if you’re into doing spells…working with the elements…a good deck for beginners…an easy deck to read…I’m going to draw a card at the beginning of the day and display on my work desk to remind me." ~ Kate Fisher, Daily Tarot Girl & Spiritual Guidance Diva, Unboxing video review of the Cat Herbal Oracle Deck

“The artwork on each Zodiac Goddess Oracle card is colorful and vibrant in both image and energy. Each card holds such beautiful movement.” ~ Rachael Caringella, Tree Talker

“We always love the quirky humour in your pictures. They lift our spirits and we figure what’s good for us has to be good for our Moon calendar customers too.” ~ Creative Cronies Moon Calendar and Diary.

“I love the energy and the whimsy of this deck… a wonderful “meditation of the day” or “last words of advice for any reading”. The cards, protected with a UV coating, are beautiful reproductions of Kathy’s soothing, reassuring, and whimsical watercolour paintings.” ~ Cartomancer Magazine Review (Spring 2019) by Mary Moroska, Senior Reader/Mentor, American Tarot Association

“Oh my Goddess, Kathy Crabbe, this is even more beautiful than in the photograph! It is one of the most perfect miniature paintings I have ever seen. I don’t know how to describe the utter perfection of this painting. Someone has to see it in person. For one thing, a photo doesn’t show the painting’s three-dimensionality. Thank you for this incredible gift.” ~ Francesca De Grandis, Shaman, Witch, Author, Teacher & Mentor.

"If you know me, you know I have a huge love for all things fae and elfin… so this deck is very special to me in that way. I love how each face featured on the cards is just as unique! I also love working with it during Scorpio season. The veil between the Spirit world is thinner during this time, but I also believe the veil between the fairy realm get's thinner around this time too." ~ Rachael Caringella, Tree Talker Art

“You are such an inspiration. I love your smile, your creativity, and how you have kept your inner children alive and flourishing! I found my chalks last night. I found my big sketch pad that I haven't touched in decades. I do not know what will come out but I am letting the colors flow.” ~ Ronni Eloff, Super-Connector, Spiritualist, Feminist, Advocate for Diversity&Inclusion, Coach, Conscious Marketing

“I pull cards in the morning and this deck has been a really good friend giving me a nudge in a specific direction.” ~ Steven Bright, Tarot Creator, Author, UK

I love your oracles and would love to offer you a platform! ~ Elinor Clare Rowlands, Founder of Magical Women - Neurodivergent Artists Platform

I have to say...when I saw this I FELL IN LOVE...I couldn't stop smiling. Your painting/drawing brought me to tears, as you literally have portrayed the whale smiling, and it reminds me of my deep memory and love of their species. ~ Angela DePriest, Freelance Photographer, Oregon Coast

I received the Bear print package...amazing work of art. So exciting! The art, design and colors are fantastic. Will treasure it! Definitely stirs creativity inside of myself that's been dormant for a bit. It makes the bear come alive, almost like a dancing bear. Thanks again. With much gratitude and blessings. Big Bear Hugzzzz. p.s. Really appreciate the beautiful card also. ~ Kristine Sauer, Atlanta, Georgia.

I love it! I am gifting it to my daughter for Christmas. It reminds me of her. I think "Solace" will remind her of our healing time together. Thank you! ~ Julia Ehret, Joshua Tree (Spirit Animal Painting)

Irvine Fine Art Festival - 2 cuties wearing their hand painted cat necklaces

I was gifted with a Spirit Animal portrait of myself by Kathy...Let me say, she really got my spirit animal and poem down perfectly. The whole feel of the experience brought me to tears and even others, that I have shown it to, have also been blown away by how in tune she is...thank you SO MUCH! ~ Lori, Temecula, California

It's beautiful! Beyond words Kathy. You pictured my essence, not only how I see myself, but my journey this year as daughter of Sea Goddesses and the spirits of the sea. I will have this framed for my room to remind me to trust the journey, Spirit is always there. Thank you so much! ~ Rhonda Susini, Arizona

Your lefty oracle cards are my new guides and guards at the same time. ~ Karin

Everything is just beautiful...And the colors are yummy! Yummy! ~ Francesca De Grandis, Shamanic Mentor, Founder of the Third Road School, Best-selling author of Be a Goddess!

We finally hung this beautiful art print from Kathy Crabbe today. I love her animal spirit series. Ever since I was little the moon has been special to me. I would call the moon my sister moon. She was only mine and not my sisters! I’ve found owls to be very special too. I keep owl stuffed animals in my car to keep me company and look out for me while I drive. I hung this piece in my bedroom so that my sister moon and my sweet owl friend could look over me while I sleep and to be near by to chat if I have a hard time sleeping. Please check out Kathy Crabbe's art if you feel a connection to our animal friends. I think you’ll find a piece that really speaks to you. ~ Suzy Fyfe, Scientist, Boston, MA

You must travel to some secret place when you create them. ~ Jennice Hyden, Acupuncturist, Seattle

The Zodiac Goddess Power Deck has a very approachable and nurturing energy. I feel like I want to work with it often. It makes the zodiac and the goddesses effortless and natural. It also has a beautiful feminine energy." ~ Nana Riel, Shuffle Tarot, AU Instagram Unboxing Review

Thank you for your unique and gently humorous pictures. They will bring smiles to the faces of those using next year's diary" ..."Great to see your quirky, light-hearted pics in the 2016 Moon Diary! I'm going to really enjoy coming to the pages with your art ... It lifts the spirits with it's combination of lightness and profound message. ~ Arafelle Oné & Minerva, Creative Cronies Calendar, Editors, Astrologers, New Zealand

“Really lovely. Your art always appeals to me on two levels: first I smile because of the playfulness; then the great symbolism delivers its serious message.” ~ Hecate Doe

"Our NY City Kitty is officially on canvas, thanks to you! You perfectly captured Brie's cosmopolitan personality and Manhattan cattitude. From our first connection, to your attention to detail (making sure her markings and eye color were just right), to the creative and festive packaging and certificate of authenticity. I was truly touched by how much you care - you paint from your heart and soul and the animals know. We can't thank you enough!" ~ Erica Dennis

“Oh my goodness, I love Shadow even more than I ever even imagined I would--she is purrfection!!! And you simply make receiving and opening a treasure the most magical, delightful, thoughtful, and fun experience ever! Every last little HUGE detail, from the way you wrap the packages to the special, sparkly, unique touches to the infusion of so much joy, beauty, creativity, and luv! I am filled with warm fuzzies. Thank you from the bottom of my crazy cat gal, witchy, herbal bird girl heart!

Kitty Painting by Kathy Crabbe ( kathycrabbeart)

I get totally lost (in an inspirational way) when looking at these. The images have a sense of quirky fun and the colors are so bright, mesmerising and playful, I seem to find another little detail in them each time I look. Your words that accompany them in the eClass are also inspiring and add more depth to the cards and food for thought. Overall they inspire me to want to express myself just as eloquently and fearlessly. ~ Michelle Buckley, Art Therapist, Australia

The Leftys helped me slow down so that I could hear the voice within. The cards and process have a relaxed energy that helped me find my center so that I could organize and create direction in my life.” ~ Ian Iversen, Lightworker

I absolutely love love love your leftys! They are like illustrated words of kindness and inspiration. ~ Claudine, Occupational Therapist, Phoenix, AZ

What I love about this deck is that it helps me better understand and connect with each astrological sign, as well as various goddess energies. The cards are beautiful, fun to work with and are a wonderful addition to my oracle deck collection! ~ Kate Fisher, Daily Tarot Girl (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Juicy Alive! Your Leftys make me feel like I’m not alone. They restore something in me…make me feel sane again. ~ Tangerine Bolen

So, I've been in this major creative funk as of late~ after roaming around the internet I was inspired by Kathy Crabbe and her use of her non dominant hand Lefty Drawings. I sat down and gave it a try myself and wow! I never realized I could draw with my left hand too!!! Thanks new friend for helping me out of that slump ~ hugs. ~ Janene Christman

The leftys are like a breath of fresh air. When I got bogged down in my writing they helped me feel free and playful. They loosened me up and got me creating again. ~ Andrea, Novelist

Zen-like ~ Mary Fleener, Cartoonist

They tickle your mind ~ Diane DeBaun, Ceramicist

My realtor went crazy and practically tried to take them all! ~ Kay Ferrell, Mother of Will

I like the simplicity of the Lefty Oracle Deck…drawings from the heart. I don’t think they would be as hard to feel out as Tarot. ~ Tana Musser, Domestic Goddess

They are and aren't cartoons ~ Paul Madonna, Artist, Author, Comics Editor

There is something that is sexual and not sexual all at the same time. It feels very edgy ~ Lisa Kelly, Lawyer & Director of Education, UAW, Toronto

Delicious...It was a true delight :) Thank you for being on the show, we look forward to catching up with you in the future. ~ Susun Weed, Herbalist and Founder of the Wise Woman Tradition

They’re so delicate, succinct, playful, refreshing. ~ Susan Mrosek, Pondering Pool Cards, Artist, Author

Beauty, colorful, pretty, delicate, Murano glass come to life almost too beautiful to touch…I fall in love with the Klimt-inspired drawing…I am charmed. An aging art snob with a guerilla aesthetic. I flip through card after card and start scheming ways to steal K. Crabbe’s work. Beg her to keep drawing! ~ Andree LaChapelle, Broken Pencil Magazine

I think I know all these people! ~ Susan Ruyle, Dawn Magazine Editor

Ah, what a treasure you are and so very talented! ~ Bette Lee Herbinson, Gourd Artist

Your paintings are inspiring and it’s been so healing for me to be with my lefty’s. ~ Christine, BoneRootHerb

"Fresh and unpretentious" ~ Denise, Pussy Cat Magazine, Editor

“All the wisdom you need is right there in you and the cards (images) spark your attention to go within where all the good stuff happens.” ~ Rebecca Janes, Spiritual Director

"My dear friend Kathy Crabbe is a Canadian artist living in the desert of Southern California. Her work ranges from the whimsical to the contemporary/abstract. Kathy's art is a group of off-beat and often profound characters drawn by her non-dominant left hand. This artwork asks us to remember the quirkiness of life, the nerds, the wallflowers, the pranksters and the soul-keepers. They are irreverent reminders that we should rail against homogenization, and that uniqueness, awkwardness and outsiderness are quite often the places where wisdom can be found" ~ Tangerine Bolen, Revolution Truth, Executive Director

“I know your artwork is essential to my creative process so cannot wait to get it all hung on the walls for inspiration. I can feel that they will make the room come alive!!!” ~ Victoria Abrams, San Diego

“Kathy was so right-on with my spirit and path. I would highly encourage anyone to allow her to create for you....very soulful.” ~ Rhonda Clingan Susini, Arizona

"This could be an excellent tool for working with Inner Child healing.

Spiritual guides and guided messages shouldn’t always be easy but they should be supportive, and that’s something I’ve always found with this deck.
“Kathy put her heart and soul in this deck, as well as its accompanying book. So they will take good care of you. I don’t say that lightly. I’ve been a professional psychic for over three decades, have created a divination system myself, and strive toward the highest standards in my work, so I recommend someone else’s work only if it’s wonderful.” ~ Francesca De Grandis, Shamanic Mentor, Founder of the Third Road School, Best-selling author of Be a Goddess!

This deck is fun. It doesn’t take itself too seriously but also doesn’t forget the seriousness that can hover around different topics and issues. Personally, I believe that when we are light of heart, we heal faster. We are able to hear messages and guidance easier because we’re open to receive. And The Lefty Oracle doesn’t let you forget how important that is." ~ Jess Carlson, Sacred Wild Witchery
