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,

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.

Virgo Full Moon Fairy Witch Merkat Blessings!

Dear Moon Muser,

She (my latest mer-painting above) is inspiring me this week to be a mermaid; to dress in flowing greens and blues and shades of abalone, to be centered in my emotions, to be beautiful.  How about you?  Are you a mermaid-at-heart too?

This Full Moon in Virgo on Saturday, Feb. 24 is complementarily opposite to Pisces, the mermaid, the two fish. At this Virgo Moon we can more easily tap into, not only our practical, service oriented, quirky Virgo essence, but our mystical, bliss-fed Piscean essence.

I don't know about you, but I need some of that watery bliss right now.

I was honoured this week to give a soul reading to a fellow soul reader who happens to live in the UK - I love when like-minds reach out and find each other.

My new Divination Deck is slowly emerging even though I'm on a bit of a rest break this week and, trust me, I ADORE my rest! How about you?  If you're in colder climes are you being a Mama Bear and hibernating or are you on the slopes, adventuring?

Today I hang clothes in a sunny breeze that's wafting that fresh, clean smell to me, thanks to my mom, I take special note and thank her for teaching me to appreciate and indulge in simple pleasures.

I wish you Virgo Full Moon Blessings with a side of clean, wind-kissed laundry-love.

Blessed BEE!

How To Give Your Intuition A Work Out (Pisces New Moon)

It’s time again to set your intentions for the New Moon. In Pisces this Moon brings us watery, blissful, spiritual vibes so take advantage of this moon-ey time to get some much needed rest (it IS the dark time of the moon so you may feel low-energy) and to be creatively blissed out through ritual, love, crafting, baking, making art, music or even just sitting in nature in meditation.

I turned to my one of my artistic mentors (who is deceased) by the name of Leonora Carrington and practiced the ancient technique of Bibliomancy which means I randomly (intuitively) chose a few words of hers (from her short stories) to guide the direction of this New Moon blog. The results of my experiment indicated that you may have a real need right now for more spiritual inspiration. I also want to tie that thought in to my newest painting “Bellona” from my upcoming Faerieality Oracle Deck.

Bellona Hand Signed Print

$20.00

Bellona is a Bibliomantically inspired painting. The quote that inspired her came from The Book of Shadows by Phyllis Curott.

“Bellona sliced another opening between the worlds and again she spoke the archaic yet stirring words, this time declared as a warrior’s challenge.”

— The Book of Shadows by Phyllis Curott

Bellona’s “domain included the entire arena of conflict, diplomatic as well as military. Even her name shows her importance, for the Latin word for war, bellum, derives from her name.” (quotation from The Book of Goddesses & Heroines by Patricia Monaghan)

This technique of Bibliomancy puts intuition via chance into high gear and helps one trust one’s intuition even more. You can too, it takes practice and working out one’s intuition, like a muscle, to encourage it to grow stronger.

Bellona (detail) by Kathy Crabbe (Faerieality Oracle Series)

I also wanted to acknowledge the heart-broken this past Valentine’s Day. The pressure of this day may be too much for those in trauma from any kind of heart-break, loss, abandonment, bereavement or sorrow.

I heart you, I hear you. Bellona, warrior Goddess stands by you as your protector “In the names of Sekmet and Horus. So mote it be.”

Pisces Oracle from the Zodiac Goddess Power Deck

Pisces by Kathy Crabbe (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Pisces Meditation

To feel love is pure warmth, wholeness, open-ness, selfless-ness, shameless, guiltless joy – that is love.

Pisces Affirmations

• I believe

• I relax in solitude

• I am a mystic of the spirit realm

• I create to my heart’s content

• I open my heart to other’s realities

• My dreams, visions and intuition guide me

• I am the mermaid

I Paint Pisces

During the Pisces Meditation I questioned Love. Love is everything from pain to pleasure and I needed to listen and love myself first before I could love anyone else.  But how do we know if love is true? Love is warm, whole, open and selfless. Love is shameless, guiltless joy. Later that night I had a dream where Love poured through me unlike anything I’d ever felt before.

My Pisces painting flowed magically and gracefully onto the illustration board and I felt Her energy calm, serene, peaceful and knowing.

Allow Piscean energy into your life by letting love in. Share your creations because you know they are coming from a place of love. Love IS everything.

Aquarius New Moon Blessings

Dear Moon Muser,

It's a New Year and the first New Moon so I pulled a card from one of my five oracle card decks and I meditated. Take a moment now to contemplate the card I pulled below and to envision your emotional boundaries surrounding and protecting you in this Brave New World.

My job is to paint and explore Otherworlds; to heal and be healed. What is your job this year?

How will your boundaries protect you?

Ask the Fairy Kats and Herbs for help, if need be. Then make your New Moon Wish for the moonth ahead and sprinkle it with fairy dust.

Winter Solstice Meditation & New Moon in Capricorn

Dear Moon Muser, Come celebrate the Solstice with me and a little help from the Gods and this meditation I channeled just for you and a few friends I’ll be meeting with by phone to “do the work.”

Solstice Meditation

Allow yourself to go deep, even through resistance; keep going, the deeper you go, the lighter you become. The darker it is, the lighter you are.

You are the light
ALIVE
in the shadows.

Feel the nourishment surrounding you. Feel Her Presence. The Gods are laughing!

What is your wish?
Ask it.

Allow Their Grace to fall upon it and bless it.

You ARE divine.

You ARE loved.

You matter.

Ask the Gods what you need to know right now. Take your time.

Then slowly come back to the hear and now, gently. Feel yourself changed. Feel your body respond.

Blessed Be and good work my friends, and don’t forget to leave an offering for your guides in thanks.
