Dear Moon Muser,

Welcome to my New & Full Moon Blog filled with moon magic from my otherworldly explorations as a soul reader, astrologer and artist along with oracle inspiration from my six hand painted decks designed to help you move forward with joy and purpose.

The Full Moon in Gemini is almost upon us. What seeds did you plant at the New Moon in Sagittarius that are now coming to fruition?

During this Dark Time of the Year here in the Northern Hemisphere I encourage you to get as much rest, solitude and quiet time as you can. Embrace Her healing darkness; hibernate and be well. In that spirit I invite you to listen to a Gemini New Moon Meditation I channeled just for you which you can download above - enjoy!

How to Get More Soul Reading Clients

As a Soul Reader I have my medium of choice for giving soul readings. I use oracle decks; mainly my own creations for giving readings to others. For myself I will often try out different decks. For this reading today I’m working with the Alchemy Deck by Kim Krans of the Wild Unknown.

As always my spirit guides appear first when I do a soul reading to take me deeper into their realm; the watery realm, under the sea. This is probably because my latest creation is a Mermaid Oracle. Entering this watery realm helps me go as deep as I can into the soul reading.

Magic Spell Book (Hierophant) by Kathy Crabbe (Siren Song Mermaid Oracle

I am NOT looking at the oracle card yet, I am reading it psychically instead. Later I will look at the card to see if it confirms the information I received from my spirit guides, ancestors and the gods. I go deep within and then I as the initial question again, “How does one get more soul reading clients?”

Then I rest in this deep sacred space for a while until all my senses are attuned to the messages I am about to receive.

The first messages are practical:

1. Do you really want more clients?

2. If yes, how many soul reading clients do you want a week, a month, a year? Be specific.

3. Are you taking practical steps to align your values with your marketing? What are they? Describe in detail.

Now, it gets fun…my guides say, “Okay, I have a secret to tell you and your readers.”

1. Be your own client - envision this.

2. What do you need from your practice to bring YOU fulfillment?

3. Pull another oracle card to look at specifics.

Oracle Cards by Kathy Crabbe

Once you’ve gained all the insights you feel are necessary or that you can absorb at this time then relax. Journal. Then look at the oracle cards you pulled. Take more notes and see how they tie in to the guidance you received psychically. Really ponder the connections happening between the psychic information you received and the images on the cards. Turn to the guidebook if needed.

Now it’s time to sum up the entire soul reading. Write down the word “Summary” and then do just that.

Are you ready to make a shift in your life? A soul reading can help you make the changes you need to move forward, connect with your guides and find hope in dark times.

p.s. I just added the Big Bundle Package that includes all my readings as well as Soul Discovery Sessions. Both are also very helpful if you are a spiritual teacher looking for new techniques and tools to use in group circles and meditations.

Ignite Your Integrity this Sagittarius New Moon

Welcome to the Sagittarius New Moon blog where I'll be sharing Sag inspired oracles from my 6 hand painted decks designed to help you move forward from a place of integrity and truth. The New Moon is the best time to set your intentions for the month ahead so make them passionate and blunt as Sag revels in fiery energy.

News!  I've finally decided after 40 plus years of exploring Tarot that it is NOT the tool for me! I wrote about why it doesn't resonate on my blog. I discovered that I MUST work with my own systems and not within someone else's such as Tarot.  With my oracle decks I create the system, I intuit the material for the guidebook and the artwork. It comes from the Divines, ancestors, my guides, past lives, and what you, my clients and friends need right now in your life. I wrote about it on my blog: What is the Difference Between Oracle Card and Tarot Cards?

I am thrilled to offer my online class again after several requests. The next session of Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul will begin just before January 29 at the first New Moon of 2025. This is a 4 week moon-guided online class to awaken your creative, intuitive soul. It is offered at Susun Weed's Wise Woman School.

I channeled this for the Sag New Moon:

Come! We explore the dreamtime together.

Explore your future, your past, your present,

Hello Brave New World.

Help me remember who I am.

in the River of Simplicity
submerged in mystery and naked poetry.

I swim into tomorrow claiming
my ancestry proudly.

What is the Difference Between Oracle Cards And Tarot Cards

I have decided not to pursue creating a Tarot Deck. I find that I cannot work with another divination system such as Tarot, even one with a 600 plus year history and thousands of books written about it.

As a psychic and card reader I work primarily with clairvoyance (clear seeing) by receiving visions and channeling the ancestors, spirit guides and past lives along with astrology. When I work with divination cards during a Soul Reading I do NOT look at the cards until AFTER the reading is done to see if it confirms what I received in the reading.

Tarot card reading is a system that does not require psychic ability, although one can definitely apply psychic insight to any reading. Tarot cards are rich in symbolism, archetypal imagery and patterns. But I find that I still draw a blank when I look at the Minor Arcana. Why? Because it is NOT a tool that resonates with me even after 40 plus years of exploring Tarot. I don’t relate to the numbers, suits, court cards or symbols. They are not MY system.

You could ask, “Why not try a Tarot Deck that resonates with your sensibilities rather than a traditional deck such as the Rider-Waite-Smith deck?” I have! I enjoy feminist circular Tarot decks such as Motherpeace Tarot by Vicki Noble and Karen Vogel and the Daughters of the Moon Tarot by Ffiona Morgan. These decks interpret the Tarot in a radical way, changing some of the suits, court cards and number of cards in the deck, but they are still using the Tarot system.

While talking with my good friend, Chad Woodward, an astrologer and tarot reader I realized it was cognitive dissonance I was experiencing and it was definitely SHADOW MATERIAL which is why I felt so uncomfortable. Shadow material refers to aspects of our personality that are buried, repressed and hidden within our unconscious mind. Integrating this material is uncomfortable and can even be traumatizing.

I experienced this Shadow-ey Cognitive Dissonance speaking about Tarot. The words coming out of my mouth did not match what was going on in my head. I desperately wanted to LOVE Tarot and I did, in my mind, but when I described the process of intuitively creating my own oracle decks my voice lit up with emotion and excitement but my head was saying, I must create a Tarot deck.

So far, I’ve already created five oracle decks but had yet to create a Tarot deck. I realize now that I MUST be my own authority and listen to my own intuition and soul guides in regards to making a divination deck. I CANNOT use someone else’s system.

This sense of wrongness and dissonance is also emphasized in my astrological birth chart (Sun conjunct Uranus/Pluto opposing Saturn in the 12th) and in my birth itself. I was given up for adoption as a baby, never having seen my birth mother’s face.  Not only was the rug swept out from under me, but there wasn’t even a floor!  I have always had to make my own way, create my own world and re-invent the wheel, so to speak.

All this cognitive dissonance regarding oracle decks vs. tarot decks really hit home in a recent tarot class I took from artist/reader/tarot teacher Rebecca Schoenecker.  We were to analyze three Tarot cards in a spread. I felt NOTHING. I immediately wrote in my journal “NO ON TAROT”. I also recall that during a Past Life Regression, my elf self was killed for not listening to my intuition and here I was doing it again!

Cat Herbal Oracle Deck by Kathy Crabbe

So far I have created six divination decks and each one is very different: Fairy/Cat Herbals, Zodiac Goddesses, Elfin Allies (Animal Spirits), Lefties and now Mermaids. Each deck is used in a specific way in my soul readings. We always teach what we need to learn, it is said. I am always learning more about how to trust my intuition and that is what I teach. “Work that muscle,” I tell my clients and students, and learn to trust that inner voice; be it from God, Goddess, the Divines, the ancestors, astrology, past lives, spirit guides, your gut, whatever you choose to call it. It is a talent much under used and disrespected in our current culture. We need it now more than ever.

Lefty Card by Kathy Crabbe - “Now the Real Work Begins”

Remember, to work with whatever feels right for you in regards to the psychic realms. Trust your self and your intuition. You are being guided, every step of the way.

p.s. If you are a major Tarot Fan, rest assured you will find Tarot correspondences in the guidebooks accompanying my oracle decks as Tarot is still an influence on me, but in subtle ways.

About Kathy Crabbe

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember, and my journey as a soul reader began at the age of forty, after five years of painting with my non-dominant left hand. This practice profoundly enhanced my intuition. In 2008, I created the Lefty Oracle deck and began offering intuitive soul readings, touching many lives in profound and playful ways.

Be Grounded, Find Your Strength: Taurus Full Moon Blessings & the Tarot

Dear Moon Muser,

I am inspired to re-instate my New and Full Moon Museletter and Blog Posts right now because I want to be here for you when you need me. (p.s. if you have suggestions for what you'd like to see within please email me.

Since coming back to the U.S. after time away in Canada at my cottage I've shifted gears - my new mantra is: "How can I be of service in my community?"  Since making this shift so many opportunities have appeared ~ a group in person astrology reading after which I received a standing ovation, a wonderful new metaphysical store in Temecula, a New Moon Circle, plus the inspiration to continue with the Siren Song Tarot deck's Minor Arcana (56 more mermaid paintings) plus I'm starting a Tarot Study Group in Temecula as well. If you're interested in an online version let me know.

I've started wearing my pentacles out and letting folks know about my soul readings and astrology; something I hesitated to do before as it's quite a conservative town, but I'm taking that risk to build community and to be of service.

If you choose to be more of service in your town by letting your true self out a bit more please be aware of your surroundings, trust your intuition in regards to your safety, sage yourself first, create sacred space and call in the directions, call upon your guides and ancestors for protection, wear protective power gems and stones. Be wise and know yourself.

For those of you in the States especially here is a helpful link shared by tarot teacher/creator Rebecca Schoenecker in her newsletter: 10 Ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won.

We are now in the dark time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere; the Witches New Year was at Samhain (Hallowe'en). Work that intuition, witches!  

Blessed Be,
Kathy 'Kat' Crabbe,

Strength - Siren Song Tarot Card

Listen to the spirits of the water by Kathy Crabbe (Siren Song Tarot)

I talked with my ancestors this morning and pulled the Strength tarot card.

How can you be strong?

What is your story?

Previously in your life, how have you been strong, carried on and been of service to those around you?

What does strength mean to you? What does it look like, sound like, feel like?

I believe in you.

Strength Card from the Siren Song Tarot.
