Free at Last (Unexplored Power)

Wild Boar would protect her
She was safe
at last
her soul could fly free
as a bird
to communicate
with her ancestors, her guides and the gods
Free to be
Herself
at last.

About the Non Binary Nude Alien Series
By painting ‘otherness’ expressed via nude, non binary aliens I share my lived experience of being Neurodivergent. I also share the supernatural gifts many Neurodivergent people exhibit in the way I make these paintings. Each element of the painting is randomly (intuitively) chosen from 6 different sources. All these elements invite chance into the painting opening portals into chaos and deep play similar to the way my Neurodivergent brain experiences the world.

Welcome to the Nude Alien Super Power Series!

This may become a new oracle deck based upon the great excitement I sense when showing folks this new series.

If you’d like to join the fun, here are the first six aliens in the series. Each has three Super Powers, but I’d love to hear what Super Powers they ignite in you! Please email me or write your suggestions below.

Twisting to the Sea

“Only his feet are red
from holding the head of the poet
red with the blood of the poet
with his countenance of night.”

"European Poems and Transitions: Over All the Obscene Boundaries" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

La Vie in the Wild Forest

"but so far have unearthed no Albert Camus. Here comes il addizione. And an espressoed kiss.
Yolanta."

Karen Elizabeth Gordon, "The Red Shoes and Other Tattered Tales"

One Was Enough

"I was so desperate
for a laugh my brow had curdled. Then, in a surprising
burst of kindness, the Ha took pity on my sorry soul"

"Leaks" by Susan Mrosek

Transparent

"the birds, if they had stayed,
could see us,
and i do not mean white here,
but as we are, transparent women and transparent men."

Lucille Clifton, "Quilting Poems 1987-1990"

I WISH

"but the rain was too hard for them to keep their heads up-and all the time more and more frogs filled the road til it really seemed as if they must be falling with the rain."

Enid Blyton, "The Children of Cherry Tree Farm"

To Die in Secret

“to die in secret
or not at all,
to sew her body
to the ground with worms”

"Songs of the Sea-Witch" Poems by Susan Musgrave

"The Fairies’ Christmas" by Charles Van Sandwyk

About Kathy Crabbe

I draw with my non dominant left hand. I started doing this in 2000 and it helped develop my intuition so much that I became a professional soul reader (psychic) and turned my artwork into oracle decks! My third deck is planned for release in 2020. I was born in Canada but now live in sunny Temecula, Southern California with my two dogs and architect husband in an adobe style home we built ourselves.

Kathy’s work has been featured in We’Moon Datebook, Sage Woman Magazine, Sawdust Art Festival and the Women’s Museum of California. She writes a moon column for Witches and Pagans and is a mentor at Wise Woman University where she teaches a Divine Feminine eClass.

Faerieality

I am a self taught artist intuitively inspired by a shamanic exploration of seen and unseen worlds. I combine unconventional methods like non dominant hand drawing, random word collage, and dreams to help ne lose my bearing and move forward with only a glimmer of faerie dust to lead the way.

The Faerieality Series is painted with gouache and watercolor on Montreal-made paper. Each painting is inspired by an intuitively chosen section of a book that I felt had ‘faerie energy’. After the painting was done I then intuitively chose a few words to collage into the piece.

About the Originals: Each original is a gouache and mixed media painting measuring 6x6 inches (15.2x15.2 cm) and is adhered to an 8x8 inch acid free mat, ready-to-frame (frame not included).

• Signed and dated by the artist

• Includes certificate of authenticity

• The artwork will be packaged in a clear sleeve and shipped flat in a sturdy cardboard mailer

I work within the field of Spiritual Automatism. This is a method of art-making in which the artist suppresses conscious control over the making process, allowing the unconscious mind to have great sway. Early 20th-century Dadaists, such as Hans Arp and made some use of this method through chance operations.

Forgotten Victorian artist, spiritualist and medium, Georgiana Houghton is also an inspiration.

Paintings from the Faerieality Series

“Noise and Silence - wind in the trees, thunder, flowing water, falling leaves, rain, animal voices, bird song - we live amid a teeming polyphony of natural sounds.”

Thomas Moore, The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life

“Day darken! Frogs say
By day…bring light!
Light! They cry
By night. Old Grumblers!”

Haiku Harvest

“How will you know when these other aspects of self begin to show themselves?…You may be sitting one day and find all of a sudden that upon blinking your eyes you are sitting in a different room. That is getting hit over the head with a two-by-four.”

Barbara Marciniak, Family of Light

“To see Schafer’s opera The Princess of Stars, for instance, the audience must arrive at a lake in the middle of the night, and find their way to the embankment. At 5:00 a.m., precisely the performance begins with the appearance of the presenter in a canoe. Actors and dancers can be heard, chanting in an unknown language from other canoes at the center of the lake, while the musicians and singers are hidden in the surrounding trees.”

Suzi Gablick, The Re-Enchantment of Art

“Weaving boundaries
staking out home turf overnight
with a web of soft imperative.”

Georgia A. Popoff, Coaxing Nectar from Longing

“Whenever you feel you need a break, take a walk and enjoy the wonders of nature all around you. If you open your eyes you cannot fail to see them. All of that helps to keep your vibrations raised.”

The Findhorn Community, The Findhorn Garden: Pioneering a New Vision of Man and Nature in Cooperation.

Kitties! #CroneClub

Kitties...just because!

I am a Gen X Crone, the first of my generation to go through menopause. I want to help women who are crones or approaching cronehood to navigate these often treacherous waters in an empowered and graceful way.

I am creating Crone Club Charms with watercolor and words as a release, a surrender, and a choice, to love myself, to be strong, divine, sexy, whole and holy with humour and grace as we face the darkness together
