About Kathy Crabbe
I am proud to be an artist and soul reader, in business since 1993. I love my work and hope you've enjoyed coming along for the ride and allowing me to be of service to you through all the creative, healing work I do. Thank you.

The awakening of my intuitive gifts came at age 40 when I found myself creatively blocked so I switched to my left hand which awakened my right brain and inspired me to create a Lefty Oracle Deck and become a professional soul reader. I have since published 4 oracle decks with the Fairy Herbal Oracle deck coming in 2022.

I live in Southern California and soon in the 1000 Islands, Canada for half the year with my pooch and partner in homes we’ve built ourselves.

Scorpio Soul Reading for the Week Ahead

Every Moonday I share a quick soul reading Video and Blog Post to guide you in the week ahead. This week I pulled 2 oracle cards: a Spirit Animal from my Elfin Ally deck and a Lefty Oracle along with a Scorpio Goddess from my Zodiac Goddess Power Deck. May their messages serve to guide, protect and heal you in the coming week. Scroll below for the Video and guidance from the Oracle Deck Guidebooks. Blessed BEE! Kathy Crabbe, Soul Reader + Artist.

Card 1: Scorpio Goddess - Brigid (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Scorpio Goddess ~ Brigid

Brigid’s reign as sacred muse
spans centuries timeless truth
Priestess or nun
tending her fire
Brigid’s power
always inspires.

Brigid is one of the few early goddesses to survive intact through the Christian era. Brigid means ‘bright one’ as symbolized by fire. She is worshiped as a Triple Goddess by the Celtic Irish, called Brigantia in England, Bride in Scotland and Brigandu in Celtic France. In her ancient form as carrier of the cauldron she was ruler of smithcraft, poetry, inspiration, healing and medicine. The Christian Saint Bridget is often invoked as both muse and healer in continuation of her ancient rites and her rituals were preserved for more than 1000 years after she ceased to be called a goddess. Today little is left of the ancient Celtic legends describing her.

Card 2: Wolf (Elfin Ally Oracle)

Keyword: Courage
Meaning: Be brave and strong for you have a task to do.
Reversed: There is a con artist close by so be cautious.

Affirmation: I am strong, wild and free.
Astrology: Aries, Mars, Saturn, Uranus
Element: Air, Earth, Fire

Medicine: Your wild heart mates for life.

Lore: She is my protector, my luv, my guide. With her by my side, I can fight the good fight, no lies, just truth, and shining eyes.

Card 3: Miss Talitha spider-sister (Lefty Oracle)

Mantra:  I am hidden.
Affirmation: I acknowledge the darkness within for out of the darkness comes the light.
Element: Spirit

Song
I am your darkest, 
deepest, 
most troubling secret. 
I am the witch in the cave, 
the spider in your attic, 
the darkness of a moon-less night. 

I spell ‘Trouble’ with a capital T. 
I am NOT kind or patient or happy. 
I am a part of you; 

a part you often deny 
or hide in the closet. 
Well, I’m not hidden anymore, 
so let’s catch up.

If this card appears in a reading you are heading into the unknown and that can be scary, but at least you will be prepared. It may be a journey within to the hidden depths of your soul or it may take place in the mundane realms. It may be a time of deep emotion, facing fears, overcoming a challenge, seeking truth, legal issues, or worries and stress but you will come through it transformed and stronger than ever.

In my own life this card was inspired by a phone call from my best friend whose car had been stolen. She was okay, but shaken and very angry. It brought out her dark side which I witnessed and then I painted it. The energy was intense and I needed to find a way to help her and myself release the energy in a beneficial way that helped both of us move on in the process.

New Moon Goddesses of the Month by Kathy Crabbe

Sturm und Drang by Kathy Crabbe

Runic Tree Goddess by Kathy Crabbe

The Ash Tree represents the third lunar month, also known as the “Moon of Floods.” It is associated with the Spring Equinox and is sacred to Poseidon, god of the sea. The Ash is sacred to Wednesday and the Ash affirmation is, “I am a wind on the sea.” Ash is a watery, and emotional moon and it’s healing secret is, “From the viper’s poison comes the tonic of life.” The emotional turmoil that accompanies this Moon can teach us a great deal about our inner self so that we can express who we are more honestly. ~ Year of Moons, Season of Trees by Pattalee Glass-Koentop

Pao-Yueh by Kathy Crabbe

Pao-Yueh: "Precious mouth," a heroic Chinese queen. ~ The Book of Goddesses & Heroines by Patricia Monaghan

Goddess Mertseger by Kathy Crabbe

Mertseger: "Friend of silence," she lived on the pyramidal peak of the burial ground at Egyptian Thebes. Benevolent and punishing by turns, she was sometimes shown as a snake with three heads -- one its own, one human, one that of a vulture -- and sometimes as a snake with a human head. ~ The Book of Goddesses & Heroines by Patricia Monaghan

Goddess Bast by Kathy Crabbe

Bast: She originated in the Nile delta, but by 93- B.C., the power of Bast was acknowledged by all Egyptians. Bast ruled pleasure and dancing, music and joy. At first she was a lion-goddess of sunset, symbolizing the fertilizing force of the sun's rays. Later her image grew tamer: she became a cat carrying the sun, or a cat-headed woman who bore on her breastplate the lion of her former self. ~ The Book of Goddesses & Heroines by Patricia Monaghan

Elven Dream Priestess & Puss by Kathy Crabbe

Brigid by Kathy Crabbe

Brigid: Probably the clearest example of the survival of an early goddess into Christian times is Brigid, the great triple goddess of the Celtic Irish who appeared as Brigantia in England, Bride in Scotland, and Brigandu in Celtic France...The three Brigids --probably never construed as separate goddesses but as aspects of one divinity --were unified in the symbol of fire, for Brigid was "bright arrow," or simply the "bright one," as her name tells us. Almost into modern times, the ancient worship of the fire-godddess Brigid continued at her sacred shrine in Kildare, where 19 virgins tended the undying fire and where, on the 20th day of each cycle, the fire was miraculously tended by Brigid herself. ~ The Book of Goddesses & Heroines by Patricia Monaghan

Goddess of the Light: Brigid Returns

Brigid's Day or Imbolc marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice  and the Spring Equinox.  The Cailleach (kal-yukh), Old Woman of Winter, was transformed into Bride (Brigid), the Fair Woman of February, fragile yet growing stronger each day as the sun rekindled its fire. ~ excerpted in part from Kindling the Celtic Spirit by Mara Freeman.

Brigid's Day (Mistress of Magic)

Prints, cards and original available at leftys.us

Brigid's Day is February 1, one of the four great festivals that are gateways into the seasons of the turning year. In early Ireland her festival was known as Imbolc, or Oimelc, a name that probably refers to the first milk of the year as ewes birthed their lambs, heralding the return of new life. In later centuries it came to be known as Brigit's Feast Day, but in the Christian calendar the festival was replaced b Candlemas Day on February 2, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and featuring candlelight processions. A powerful female figure of light hovers over both celebrations, and indeed, Brigit was often called Mary of the Gael.  ~ Excerpted from Kindling the Celtic Spirit by Mara Freeman
