Cancer New Moon Soul Reading
Cancer New Moon: June 28 at 7:52 PM Pacific Time

Cancerian Goddess: Circe

Circe lured sailor
With colors and potions divine,
Those who were rude
She turned into swine.

Circe or ‘witch’ was a fate spinner and a weaver of the destinies of men.  She was called ‘The Goddess who commanded all the lights of heaven’ by Pliny an ancient philosopher. Circe lived as a witch and a weaver in a little stone cottage by the sea where she concocted magical herbal potions to ensnare sailors shipwrecked near her shores, turning the nastiest ones into swine.

 This herb is a member of the Lily family. Lilies are traditionally associated with purity, rebirth and fertility. Planting lilies in the garden can protect one from ghosts and evil. Carry or wear a fresh lily to help break a love spell. This particular kind of lily can help one seek the truth in any situation.

Astrology: Cancer, Moon
Element: Water

Medicine: Your quiet love finds a way to mend and tend a broken heart.

Lore: Her squishy heart always had room for Master Frog, her ally. Bubbles and tears surrounded her with fresh ideas, wonder and certainty that she WAS on the right path after all.

She could be calm and reflective when her ally, Master Frog, was by her side. With his sweet kiss she could travel into dreamland and believe, once again that she would find her own Elfin Partner and live happily ever after.

Up Close and Personal this Aquarius New Moon

Dear Moon Muser,
It's the Aquarius New Moon on Jan. 31 at 9:46 PM Pacific Time.

I finally realized after 21 years of sending newsletters that the ones I most enjoy are really personal, so that is what I'm going to give to you today - Enjoy!

But, where to start?!

This year I'm most excited artistically with the 36-card Fairy Herbal Oracle Deck I'm working on. I painted it in the early 2000's and turned it into an oracle deck in 2008. Right now I'm writing the back of each card; filled with magical, spiritual insights, astrology, deities and healing similar to the 36-card Cat Herbal Deck which it accompanies.

I'm also excited about Tarot! I've been working with the tarot since I was a teen (and I'm 56 now) when I purchased my first deck, The Aquarian Tarot and worked through Mary Greer's excellent workbook, Tarot For Yourself. Other favorite decks are The Paulina Tarot, The Greenwood (out of print), Motherpeace and the Rider-Waite Tarot illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith.

The Fool Detail by Kathy Crabbe

Soooo...I intuited that I needed to finally attempt to paint my own Tarot! Whew! It is a tad overwhelming but I dived in (My Aries Rising helped, lol). The first card I painted is the 0 card, The Fool. I painted 100% intuitively, inviting images to appear in my mind's eye first and then painting them using acrylic gouache onto Montréal handmade paper (my favorite is by Papeterie St.-Armand). I wasn't sure if I could continue, but when I sat down again to paint out came card number 1, The Magician. Again, it came to me bit by bit 100% intuitively so we'll have to see if this continues, but I hope so!

On a personal note, I really enjoyed the documentary film, Alive Inside about what a HUGE, life-changing difference music makes for those with dementia. I also watched The Matrix 4 at the theater but had NO IDEA what the heck was going on since I'd missed Matrix 2 and 3.

Book-wise, I've always got a stack on the go and recently enjoyed Dave Eggers new futuristic book, The Every which is very true to the now - uber scary! I like how Dave is only releasing this book through independent book stores and NOT Amazon. My dear friend, astrologer Chad Woodward loaned me The Scalpel and The Silver Bear by Lori Alvord, M.D. and Elizabeth Cohen Van Pelt (required reading in his college anthropology course on magic) and it's fascinating to learn about the first female Navajo surgeon and how she combines traditional Navajo teachings with her medical practice especially when treating Navajo patients...so much to learn!

Magically, I'm re-reading the fictional book, The Midnight Witch by Welsh author Paula Brackston about necromancy and a coven in London, England in 1913. I usually have a magical, fantasy book on the go.

Cooking-wise, I continue to make recipes from different cookbooks that are brand new from the library for my husband and I. I'm loving Jennifer Segal's new cookbook, Once Upon A Chef and plan to buy it. It has simple, delicious meals with a Mediterranean and East Indian flair.

My husband and I continue to work on the two bedroom, bathroom addition to our adobe-style California home along with a large barn and it's beautiful! We created all the windows by hand using clear Douglas Fir that we stained a reddish brown. It should all be done soon so we can get to Canada to continue building our cottage on a lake near where I grew up in Kingston, Ontario.

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 Paint Sagittarius

Channeling Sag energy allowed me to trust in life and to leap before looking knowing that I am safe. When I seek truth I know Sag energy.  Sag teaches us how to uplift our spirit, teach others, and carry the truth within opening us all to other realities.  We must heal the artist, the creator, and the dreamer within. To create is to release ourselves into the flow of life. We trust that in freely expressing ourselves that we are doing it for everyone, because we realize that each one of us is a Creator. 

In my Sagittarius painting I have depicted a third eye that explodes into flames. This mystical, visionary opening allows me to connect with my higher purpose, guiding the way for all humanity.

Artemis by Kathy Crabbe

Sagittarius Goddess ~ Artemis

Artemis, Artemis,
Goddess of the wood
You are bows and arrows, death and birth
Midnight revels and pregnant mirth.
Wild woman, child, hunter of beast,
We find our true self when we dance at your feast.

Artemis is the virgin moon-goddess roaming the forest with her band of nymphs, bearing the bow and quiver, avoiding men and killing any male who looks upon her. She was also known as the many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, a symbol of fecundity. As the warlike Artemis she is said to have been the special goddess of the Amazons.

Sarasvati by Kathy Crabbe

Sarasvati

Every Hindu god needs a Shakti or enlivening female force to function so Brahma, the creator needed Sarasvati for the world to come into being. She is both the water goddess - part of a trinity including Ganga and Yamuna and the goddess of eloquence which pours forth like a flooding river. She is the inventor of all the arts and sciences, patron of all intellectual endeavours and the prototype of the artist. She invented writing to record the songs she inspired and created music so her beauty could be praised. In her identity as Vach, goddess of speech, she caused all words to come into being.
