My Favorites

The Chase by Kathy Crabbe

The Chase

She is my second favorite mermaid but turned out she was the most popular with my customers!  I love her because I am she - a red headed mermaid! She also reminds me of my best friend at the time, Tangerine, a lovely red head who was also a favorite model for the artists in Laguna Beach. Plus, I have a thing for redheads! My best friend growing up is a redhead and so is my husband!

Sea Priestess by Kathy Crabbe

Sea Priestess

I have the original watercolor painting hanging in my bathroom.  She reminds me of a beloved mermaid from fairytale books and I just love her sweet energy and that her trusty mer-cat is by her side, such a delight - especially her eyes - twinkly!

March Cat by Kathy Crabbe

March Cat

This kitty is my 'Pin' aka Luis - the Sawdust Art Festival feral kitty that I adopted one night at the Sawdust - she was a one-person kitty and that person was me - I was so lucky.

Who IS LuLu?

Who is LuLu? 

LuLu by Kathy Crabbe

Lulu was created when I was in graphic design school in the early 90's. My best friend Jamie and I created alter egos and mine was called LuLu. I also really needed a friend during crazy alone times to keep me company so I drew LuLu as a cartoon with friends: Zippy and Hermès (the cat). She became my inner child.

Within one week of graduating from design school I had moved to Montréal, got engaged and moved to Corona del Mar, California!

I was lucky enough to devote myself full time to my inner child; LuLu. She is my child. I never gave birth to a human child and knew I never would. I knew that my creations, my art and my pets would be my children. 

So, when LuLu was 'born' in design school I was also, in a way, following in the footsteps of my paternal birth grandfather whom I had not yet met. His name is James Simpkins and according to Seth the cartoonist he was the creator of the most well known and beloved Canadian cartoon character of the twentieth century in Canada; Jasper the Bear. I had known my grandfather's work since childhood as one of his illustrations was on the back of a beloved children's book I owned.

LuLu in Laguna by Kathy Crabbe

I met Jim, my grandfather several times before he died. I found my entire birth family when I was 27. James was still drawing in the senior residence when I met him for the last time. He had a wall devoted to cartoons and I was on there with my art! His room was filled with Jasper memorabilia; statues, books, videos, etc and a drafting table where he worked, just like mine. He proudly showed me my photo and work on his cartoon wall. He was still cartooning; putting up nasty funny cartoons around the residence to try to get folks to stop smoking.

LuLu was my nod to him—from one cartoonist to another—although I never considered myself a cartoonist. I didn’t work with narrative or storytelling… or did I? I told this to my dear friend recently, and he told me to look up the lyrics to the Waterboys song “Trumpets” (whom I just saw in L.A.—woot!) and then try to tell him I didn’t do narrative!

Kathy Crabbe at St. Lawrence College, Canada

I have been telling stories—creating narrative—my whole life, and LuLu is the story of my inner child growing up. And now she is leaving home. How can I ever let her go? But it is time. It is past time.

"And to be with you 
Is to find myself in the best of dreams
Your love feels like trumpets."

~ The Waterboys, "Trumpets"

Blessed Be,
Kathy Crabbe

LuLu in Laguna Art by Kathy Crabbe

LuLu Art by Kathy Crabbe (Prints are available in 3 Sizes)

I became an artist after moving to California at age 25, after meeting my husband-to-be in Kingston, Canada. He was sailing in the Olympic Trials (CORK), and I just knew I was going to meet him that night! He was the one who convinced me I could actually be an artist and make a living at it—and so I did. It turned out that Laguna Beach was the perfect place to be!

Mark and Me

I had a huge breakthrough during my first Saturn Return, around age 30, when we all experience that major, life-changing astrological transit. I experienced a rebirthing session, and my entire business plan for LuLu Design came to me. I began silk painting because I absolutely fell in LOVE with the colors and the intensity of the dyes on silk. I started selling my work at art and craft fairs, then to galleries and shops. That’s when my LuLu in Laguna series was born, along with my years of participation in the two-month-long Sawdust Art Festival in Laguna Beach.

Well, now it’s 30 years later, and I’m 60, moving through my second Saturn Return. It’s time to lighten the load as I prepare for the last third of my life. I need to let go, and I need to say goodbye to LuLu as I make room for new creations and adventures—time to move on and move forward. I have lived and loved as a full-time artist my entire working career, and I thank you all for supporting this journey. I could not have done it without you.

Above is my first Sawdust Festival art booth in 1993.  The booth had to be built up to fire code - it's a serious business!  I had a hand laid antique brick floor, antique beams and refurbished windows, so cute!Later on my booths would all have second stories so I could climb up, take a nap and store stuff - handy 'cause this show ran 10am -10pm every day for 2 months long.

This was my vision of life in my 30s: Laguna Beach, painting silk, playing with mermaids in the sea, surrounded by pet loves and my lover, living in paradise, making art and making a living from it—what a blessing! And now it's time to let that go. I feel lighter already.

“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.”

A Collective Soul Reading for the Week of November 10, 2025

wanted to create a collective soul reading this week—something based on the way I offer private Soul Readings for individual clients, but for all of us together. This reading focuses on the pain points you may be feeling right now and how we can bring healing and understanding to them, with help from the Divines, the ancestors, your guides—and mine, of course.

So, take a moment to get comfortable.
Breathe deeply and softly.

If you'd like, call in your guides, ancestors, or any divine presence you work with to join us in this space. I'll take a moment to do the same.

I've already saged our space to cleanse, protect, and purify. I've also worked with my Aurora Borealis Obsidian sphere to center and tune in more deeply to this week's collective pain points.

What I'm sensing is a deep tiredness—both physical and emotional. There's also a strong feeling of alone-ness and anxiousness.

Let's begin with a chakra check-in, starting with the Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine. You can visualize this chakra as glowing red or black, connecting you to your sense of security, grounding, and belonging.

In the collective field, there's definite anxiety around financial security and stability.

This morning I read about the growing AI investment bubble, and how so many people are struggling just to afford breakfast. Even pizza companies are offering $2 specials because workers can't afford to eat out anymore. All of this collective pressure adds to the sense of unease many of us are feeling.

To explore this further, I'm pulling a Lefty Oracle card from my non-dominant hand-drawn Lefty deck. As usual, I first tune in psychically before turning the card over, to see if the message aligns with what I receive intuitively.

Mantra by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle Deck)

What I'm getting is the need for quiet expansion—both inward and outward. The need for quiet space and quiet time. If that resonates, give yourself permission this week to carve out even a few moments each day to simply be in that quiet.

As you do, envision that expansive stillness filling every cell of your body.
Let that quiet energy nourish you. You might even choose a talisman or necklace to remind you of this energy—something you can wear or keep nearby as a gentle cue to return to stillness throughout your day.

Aries Goddess-Kali by Kathy Crabbe (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Now, I'm shuffling my Zodiac Goddess Power Deck for guidance from Goddess. The mantra I always use when giving a Soul Reading (to myself or others) is:

"There is very little that needs to be done." (Francesca De Grandis)

This simple truth helps us surrender to the Divine—whether you call that Goddess, God, or the Divines. And the message this week is clear: No more homework! You already have enough on your plate.

Now, let's take a peek at the two cards drawn for this Collective Soul Reading:

Lefty Card: Mantra — a cat declaring, "I am not overly concerned with you or your problems." (Very appropriate, I must say!)

Zodiac Goddess Card: Aries Goddess-Kali — her affirmation is, "I face my fears and transform them."

Both cards carry what might seem like a selfish energy—but it's actually a healing kind of selfishness. It's about giving yourself the space you need to heal, rest, and transform. Aries, the baby and pioneer of the zodiac, reminds us that self-focus is sacred when it leads to renewal. And our cat friend, Mantra, aligns beautifully with Kali's fierce independence and transformative power.

That feels complete for today's soul reading. I wanted to keep it short and offer some practical, magical tools to work with throughout the week.

Wishing you many blessings during this Scorpio Season. 

Blessed Be,
Love, Kathy Crabbe,
Soul Reader & Artist

“I’ve been following Kathy with her newsletter for awhile and have most of her decks. I really love the free spirit, beautiful artwork, and meaningful details about the herbs, the gods, the astrology,and the affirmations. Well, I was drawn to do one of her soul readings and I am so glad that I did. I received amazing insights, connection to my guides and ancestors, and doable steps to move forward in joy. Kathy was very generous with her time after the fact for any questions or clarifications. She is very approachable and genuine. Treat yourself to a reading if you are being called to do so. It was a really great experience for me!”

TAROT QUESTIONS for the Lovers Card + a Poem

Here are some questions to ask yourself to help resonate with the Full Moon in Taurus. The questions below are from the excellent workbook by Mary K. Greer: Tarot for Yourself.

1. What significant relationship are you involved in?
2. How does this relationship mirror your own sense of self-worth?
3. What choice or decision do you need to make?
4. What responsibility will you have to take based on your decision?
5. What needs to be combined, synthesized or brought together?

Lover Mermaids: The Fates Draw Closer

I surround myself with Love
open my pores
feel.

Then share this healing
with Mama Earth, her water, water spirits,
life blood.

I feel in that moment of darkness,
inner womb-moon-ness,
the birds quieten, my crystal hums
and time stops.

We are love.
