How To: Radical Acts of Resistance

My first-ever zine fair booth at 60!

My First Zine Fair at 60 

I've been making handmade books, magazines, newspapers, and zines (self-published magazines) since I was a wee one, so I was absolutely thrilled to finally gather together a collection of the zines I've created this year for the Zomics Festival of Comics and Zines at Wignall Art Museum, Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, California, last week — my very first zine fair at age 60!

Ever since I was little in the 1970s, I knew that screens like TVs were 'evil'. I watched and railed against my little brother who I felt was far too enmeshed in screens. Later, I had the words to describe what this meant; screens could be addicting.

When I watched Wim Wenders 1991 movie Until the End of the World, my worst fears came to life. In it, the character's dreams were cast onto a screen, and they could not look away; lost completely in a dream world.

I created my Go Analog Af zine as a fuck you to the billionaires that steal our souls to fill their pockets through the screens of phones, computers and tv monitors. If you object to the word fuck, don't buy this zine.

How to Call Upon the Dead

This next zine was inspired by my work as a professional psychic-medium over the last 20 years. Especially when I first realized I could contact the dead during my training in an English Traditional Healing Circle. It was life-changing to know that the dead still live on as souls. The cover was inspired by a dream I had about the ancestors which I compiled into a best selling book. I also included quotes from an actual book I'm writing about our human and animal ancestors illustrated with hybrid creatures.

Second Saturn Return

Last year, during my second Saturn Return (an astrological transit we all undergo around age 60), I undertook a second maturation process, because yes, Saturn is THE Queen of maturation processes. During my first Saturn return at age 30, my entire business plan for Lulu Design, my silk art business came to me in a rebirthing session and for the next 30 years, I proudly became a full-time artist and soul reader. 

If you want to delve more deeply into your own major life transits I offer readings here.

At 60, it's not about how we fit into the world by making a living it's more about the legacy we leave behind, as we enter this last phase of life. For me, art has always been my lifeline beyond words. I am passionate about color. It's my religion, so to speak. At age 40 (Uranus Opposition), I became of service through my psychic mediumship, which involved words of healing and service to others.

Now at 60, I want to make objects so I can share my words combined with my art. Zines have taken center stage. Zines are small, self-published, punk rock, radical acts of resistance and passion that fight against the systems of oppression that keep us small and disconnected from each other.  Zines are anti capitalist. They are for the people and by the people and are often traded or given away.

DIY Energy: It's Everything

My first zine fair was amazing. I felt that energy - that fight, that spirit of DIY and DIT (do it together) alive and well in those who make, by hand, their passion come alive through small handheld objects of words and art.

What I love about the process of making zines is that it's down and dirty - fast - I can draw with markers and crayons and write in cartoon bubbles and swear and cut and paste to make something that is real and tangible and handheld, not precious. Hell, it's $2 at a fair, or traded, or even free.  It gets the work out there, it's freedom, it's fun, it's survival, it's everything. It's a way to stay true to self in an AI, influencer, screen addicted, billionaire psychopath, death cult world, which is voluntarily designed to keep us enslaved and addicted.

Zine Structures

During the Zomics Fair I was surrounded by many alt-thinking folks sharing their self-published zines, pins, stickers, art and weirdness. I spent the whole day making connections and had a blast!

So far this year, I've completed nine different zine structures from my favorite zine-making book, Whatcha Mean What's a Zine?  Above, are some of the zines I brought to the fair.

Client Love + New Hand-Painted Cat Art

See what clients are saying about their group reading experiences ✨

Recent Group Psychic Astrology Readings

Recently, I had the joy of offering a couple of group psychic astrology readings, sharing birth chart wisdom, intuitive guidance, and handmade animal spirit cards.

Gathering together in sacred space to explore the stars is always such a gift—each group carries its own energy, stories, and threads of insight that weave through the reading in unexpected ways.

Here is what participants shared:

“Kat was absolutely wonderful! She created such a calm, safe, and beautiful space for us and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly.”

— Kate

“Kat clearly puts her heart into her readings... We loved our reading with Kat, and I would happily hire her again in the future.”

— Carmen Lopez

Ancestor Readings: Messages and Guidance from the Spirit World

For over twenty years, psychic medium and artist Kathy Crabbe has offered intuitive readings and mediumship sessions, helping clients reconnect with their intuition, ancestors, and spirit guides.

There is something deeply moving about ancestor work. Even after they have left the physical world, those who came before us may continue to guide, protect, and encourage us. An ancestor reading can open a doorway to that unseen support—revealing messages, wisdom, and sometimes surprising insights from the lineage that walks beside you.

If you feel called to explore guidance from your ancestors or connect with your spirit guides, you can schedule a personal session to receive messages, insights, and support directly for your path.

Many clients are surprised by how personal these readings can be. For Kaitlyn, I created a channeled illustrated zine filled with intuitive drawings and messages from her ancestors. This is a new offering I provide only by request and when I feel guided to do so. Each zine is completely unique, reflecting the personality, symbols, and guidance of the spirits who step forward during the reading.

☽ ✧ ☾


What Is an Ancestor Reading?

In an ancestor reading I connect with the spirits of those who have passed on—family members, loved ones, and sometimes guiding spirits who wish to step forward with messages of wisdom, healing, or reassurance.

Often people come to these sessions hoping to hear from a specific ancestor. Sometimes that ancestor appears, and sometimes another voice from the lineage steps forward—often someone the client most needs to hear from, even if they don’t recognize the name right away.

During a reading I may see, hear, or feel the presence of an ancestor or spirit guide. I often receive symbols, impressions, names, and messages that help identify who is coming through.

Sometimes I will also share a meditation or channeled exercise so that you have actionable tools to continue working with your ancestral guidance after the reading.

Ancestors are family members—or sometimes close friends—who have passed away but choose to come through with messages of support. I will often request specific information from the ancestor so that you can positively identify them.

Spirit guides may also appear during a session. These guides can be wise teachers or guardians from another dimension who offer protection and insight. They may appear as ancestral spirits, animal totems, angels, or nature spirits acting as spiritual counselors during times of need.

For many people, these readings bring a profound sense of reassurance—knowing they are watched over and loved by those who truly care for their well-being.

Seeing the Messages in Action: Kaitlyn’s Reading

After her reading, my client Kaitlyn asked a thoughtful question about something that came through during our session. With her permission, I’m sharing a small part of that conversation here.

Kaitlyn:
"I’m curious to hear your take on the part of the reading where they all had a nervous system reaction when looking into U.S. politics. My assumption is that people in the spirit world no longer experience negative emotions. From your experience, do certain types of trauma seem to stay with people after death?"

Kathy:
Those are such interesting questions.

My sense is that while the physical body has ceased to exist, the soul is still very much alive. When I receive messages during a reading, I translate what I’m perceiving into human language so that we can understand it.

I can’t say exactly what spirits feel or whether they experience emotions the same way humans do. But I do believe that trauma can become part of a soul’s experience and memory. When ancestors communicate, they may reference those experiences in ways that help us understand the message they want to convey.

As a medium, I simply receive and share what comes through in the clearest way I can.

Kaitlyn:
"That explanation makes sense—to convey a message to you, they showed themselves responding in a certain way to current events. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they are emotionally stuck or suffering."

Kaitlyn graciously allowed me to share this exchange because it touches on something important: when spirits communicate, their messages often need to be translated into human understanding.

Highlighting the Zine Experience

Many clients are surprised by how personal these readings can be. For Kaitlyn, I created a channeled illustrated zine filled with intuitive drawings and messages from her ancestors. This is a new, by-request offering that I provide only when a client asks and I feel guided to create it. Each zine is entirely unique, reflecting the personality, symbols, and guidance of the spirits who step forward during the reading.

Kaitlyn’s Experience

Kaitlyn later shared this reflection about her reading:

”This was my second ancestor reading from Kat. I do a lot of genealogy research, so even though I know facts about my ancestors, these readings give more depth about who they were as people, and how they interact with me now.

I was fortunate to also get a “zine” created by Kat, with channeled images and messages from my ancestors. It felt like getting a tangible gift from the spirit world, and it was so unique to hear from my ancestors in this way.”

Preparing for an Ancestor Reading

If you would like to receive an ancestor reading, you are welcome to request a specific ancestor you would like me to connect with.

Please send your questions beforehand and let me know if you would also like suggestions or techniques for connecting with your spirit guides on your own.

When sharing the name of the ancestor, please include only their first name.

During the reading I will do my best to capture whatever messages come through—whether I see, hear, or feel their presence.

Many clients leave these sessions feeling a renewed sense of connection to their lineage, knowing that their ancestors continue to walk beside them in spirit.

Book an Ancestor Reading

If you feel called to reconnect with the wisdom of your ancestors, I would be honored to hold that space for you.

In these sessions I connect with ancestors and spirit guides who wish to step forward with messages, guidance, and healing for your path today.

Each reading is intuitive and unique. Many clients also receive a channeled illustrated zine featuring images and messages from their ancestors—a tangible keepsake from the spirit world.

You may request a specific ancestor, or simply remain open to whoever wishes to come through.

Psychic Predictions for 2026: Tarot & Oracle Insights for the Year Ahead

Tarot and oracle reading for psychic predictions 2026

These psychic predictions for 2026 came through a tarot challenge suggested by Echo Publishing. During the twelve days between December 26 and January 6 — sometimes called Omen Days — I pulled oracle and tarot cards to receive intuitive guidance for each month of the coming year.

Beginning on December 26 (Omen Day 1), I performed a reading for January 2026. Each following day revealed energetic insights for the months ahead.

What emerged was a mixture of challenge, awakening, and spiritual resilience.

“The powers that be may try to make us feel small, but we must remember that we are large in spirit.”

Here is what came through.

January 2026 Psychic Predictions for the USA

There will be trouble in the world — even the threat of war. During uncertain times it will be essential to remain grounded in positive action. The powers that be may try to make us feel small, but we must remember that we are large in spirit.

Get plenty of rest and care for your energy.

February 2026 Predictions

Economic instability appears. Powerful male forces seem to be at work behind the scenes. Protect yourself as old systems begin to fracture.

Healer, heal thyself.

Prepare for rebirth and renewal around Candlemas/Imbolc (February 2).

March 2026 Predictions

Spring begins with rocky and frazzled energy. Try to see situations from multiple perspectives and remain open to positive change.

Follow through on visions that support the community.

I sense the ancestors rising — protesting, witnessing, and adding their voices to the collective. It may be time to call down the angels.

April 2026 Predictions

An interesting blend of spirit, growth, and financial opportunity appears.

Those seeking help may call upon the wisdom and generosity of rootworkers and lightworkers and compensate them for their services. Prosperity is possible.

At the same time, I sense rising waters and natural disasters.

Deepen your connection with spirit and your guides. Channel your creativity and ground yourself in the Earth to stay balanced.

May 2026 Predictions

Curiously, I received only one word for this month:

Seal.

Its meaning may reveal itself over time.

June 2026 Predictions

This is a time for going deeply within and allowing the outer world to take its course.

Do not become entangled in worldly troubles, which may feel amplified. Take a breather. Relax into the natural flow of life.

Tend your garden, your home, and the Earth.

Remember that time is fluid and change is constant.

July 2026 Predictions

Continue the inward journey. Nurture yourself. Dream.

Practice patience and complete what you have begun.

Cocooning and self-care are essential now. Be mindful of your energy.

The phrase that came through was:

“Glass house.”

August 2026 Predictions

There is a sense of heaviness in the collective atmosphere. I see people marching for peace and power, sometimes in raw and primal ways.

Hedgeworkers — those who move between worlds — may feel called to work quietly.

If possible, remain in the shadows and prepare through stillness, creativity, meditation, non-attachment, and openness to fluid identities and perspectives.

Rest deeply and protect your mental and spiritual space.

September 2026 Predictions

Take back the night.

Rather than reacting to world events, focus on receiving messages from the divine realms.

Enjoy life. Spend time beneath Mama Moon.

Recognize the mysterious “alien” within — the star-born aspect of ourselves — and our connection with the cosmos.

October 2026 Predictions

Self-care remains essential during challenging or stagnant times.

Focus your energy wisely. To receive more, we must also give more.

Remember the ancestors and the deeper truth of who we are.

The worst may be passing.

Call upon your higher power — and the wisdom of the High Priestess.

November 2026 Predictions

A heavy emotional atmosphere appears: depression, stagnation, lethargy, and suppressed rage as leaders themselves rage.

Gather your family and chosen tribe.

Release what you cannot control. Let go and let God/dess.

Become still. Quiet the inner child and dry her tears.

You are safe. You are protected.

December 2026 Predictions

The year closes with a sense of resolution and culmination.

At times you may feel electrified with possibility, while at other moments you may feel low or unfulfilled.

This is a time to consecrate your home and your creations.

Celebrate what you have made and what you have survived.

Honor your accomplishments.
Honor yourself.
Honor your magic.

Closing Reflections

These visions came through the language of tarot and spirit during the quiet threshold days between the old year and the new.

As with all intuitive work, these are not fixed outcomes but energetic possibilities moving through the collective field.

“The future is not set in stone — it shifts as we awaken, choose, and create.”

May these insights help you stay grounded, awake, and connected to your own inner guidance throughout the year ahead.

If you feel called to explore the messages that spirit has specifically for you, I offer intuitive psychic readings that combine oracle cards, spirit guidance, and more than thirty years of experience walking between the worlds.

Resist, Create, Dream: Zines & Magic for the Full Moon

Dear Moon Muser,

It's the Virgo Full Moon, and the Flint hagstone I'm wearing around my neck carries this message:

"I bring the inspirations of the Divine realms into practical manifestation in the physical world."
— from The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian

I purchased it from the Museum of Magic, Fortune Telling and Witchcraft in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was found on a nearby beach. I believe that shore lies close to where my ancestors were once accused of witchcraft — for throwing stones like this into the sea and "causing" a ship to sink.

Wretched times — reflected in the rising fascism across the globe, and here in the USA, where I live part-time.

One way to resist this evil is to:
do your magick,
create fiercely, and
stay grounded and centered as you fight the good fight and walk your talk — whatever that means for you.

For me, it means writing these Moon Letters, drawing, painting, dreaming, meditating — and, of course, making zines. Zines are a punk-rock, activist, and effective way to get your message out — even if it's just for yourself and your own healing.

What is a zine?
”Zines are cheaply made printed forms of expression on any subject. They are like mini-magazines or home-made comic books...they have been around under different names (chapbooks, pamphlets, flyers). People with independent ideas have been getting their word out since there were printing presses. It's a great feeling to hold copies of your zine in your hand. Go ahead, there is no wrong way.”
— from Whatcha Mean, What's A Zine? by Mark Todd & Esther Pearl Watson

On a Personal Note

I've been invited to a Zine and Comic Festival at the Wignall Art Museum where I'll share my zines, Spell Cat postcards and Oracle/Tarot decks.

I'm thrilled to once again be included in the New Zealand Moon Calendar put out by the Creative Cronies. I'm also sad to say that this will be their last year doing the calendar, as they are retiring and will instead focus on their web gallery. Two of my images from last year's series of Hybrid Shadow Faeries will be included.

I'll have these zines available for sale soon! And if you'd like your soul reading to include a zine created just for you, please let me know.

Sparkly Blessings!
