Being interviewed by Karen, The Fog City Psychic on Blog Talk Radio was probably the high point of my week, or right up there with the Sag Full Moon/Eclipse meditation. We talked, we laughed and we were GREATLY inspired by the Sagittarian Full Moon Energy invigorating us all with passion, purpose, politics, and speaking up for our highest truth. Enjoy!

Listen to internet radio with Feminine Mojo on Blog Talk Radio - for some reason this show has been lost - sorry about that folks!
Blog Talk Radio Interview, The Reluctant Medium Show
I sat down yesterday with my good friend Jamie, ghost buster and Reluctant Medium on Blog Talk Radio for an hour of chat and call-ins about ghosts, past lives, how to develop your intuition, goddesses, setting New Moon intentions and more! You can listen in here (with links).
(Re:) Your talk with Tiffany (a listener who called in with a question), we all want quick answers, as we all know instinctually the answers are within us all...and I liked how you re-enforced that. I also liked how you brought to light that we all have the gift of intuition - it's just a matter of developing it. Its not quick and easy and requires work, if that is what we truly desire. I think your interaction with Tiffany was grounding. That's what I received from your interview.
I am big on dreams myself and I think often about the vivid ones that I remember. Keeping a journal is something I procrastinate in doing. I myself desire more clarity and affirmation within myself and my environment. Very interested in the past life reading, I think it will kick start some self actualization.
Comments from Carol on Facebook: First Radio show! I would not know it, you spoke beautifully. Onwards and upwards! Cheers!
Blog Talk Radio Interview with Kathy Crabbe
Wise Woman Radio: Susun Weed Interviews Me
I was recently interviewed by Susun Weed, herbalist, author and founder of the Wise Woman University and just had to share! Wise Woman Radio Interview
Susun Weed, also known as the Grandmother of the Herbal Renaissance in America is an amazing and strong woman who has developed her healing practice in honour of Wise Woman Wisdom. She has written many books and offers all kinds of classes both on her land in upstate New York and through correspondence.
Early in 2010 Susun Weed started an online university called the Wise Woman University where I am offering a lunar based 4 week course which begins each New Moon and is called Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul. Susun and I discuss my course (which had not yet started at the time of the interview) and my soon-to-be published eBook titled The Goddess Zodiac Playbook.
The print above is titled Beebalm and comes from my Fairy Herbal Healing Series which I later developed into a deck of 89 oracle cards that I incorporate into Soul Readings.

HOW ALUMNA KATHY CRABBE’S CLASSROOM ASSIGNMENT 16 YEARS AGO CONTINUES TO INSPIRE AND GUIDE HER | BY JANINE FOSTER
A LITTLE BIT of St. Lawrence College lives in the heart of California wine country. Her name is Lulu, and she’s been an inspiration to Kathy Crabbe (Graphic Arts ’92) ever since she came to life in a Kingston classroom over 15 years ago. Since creating her for an assignment in one of her Graphic Design courses many years ago, Lulu became Kathy’s mascot and her muse – inspiring this alumna’s creative work since graduation. In fact, Kathy – and Lulu – came to our attention at Voyageur when a blogger raved about her beautiful and whimsical artwork, which she sells online at www.luludesign.com
Kathy came to St. Lawrence after obtaining her degree in Art History from Queen’s University. She was looking for a way to turn a lifetime of creativity into a career, but graduating in the recession of the early 1990s, she found it difficult to find a full-time job in Graphic Design. Which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
"I never really wanted to work for somebody else,” says Kathy with a chuckle. "It doesn’t suit me." While she credits her courses at St. Lawrence for teaching her how to make a living, the fact that she was able to sample various elements of graphic design through part-time, freelance and project work in the early years after graduation showed her that working for herself was her goal.
"The critiquing part of Graphic Design was really helpful because it prepares you for showing your work," says Kathy, who sells both online and at the very large art shows that are a large part of the California art scene.
Lulu evolved into other forms of expression, until one day, the right handed Kathy decided it was her left hand’s turn to create. Or, as she likes to put it, "my right hand lost its sense of humour" and the Lefties were born.
These whimsical characters have caught on – actor Will Ferrell has one in his collection – and helped inspire her next business move: the introduction of an online Soul Reading service, where traditional Tarot Cards are replaced by her custom created card decks – including the Lefties.
A lifelong interest in the metaphysical, combined with the welcoming culture of California made it easy for Kathy to turn her interest into what is now the fastest growing part of her business. Her online Soul Readings are performed for clients around the world, but it’s something she recognizes would have been difficult to launch in Eastern Ontario. "Here there’s a lot more openness to alternative ways to look at life," says Kathy.
While she has thrived in California Kathy still has a soft spot for Eastern Ontario and is currently building a cottage in Gananoque. "Someday I’d like to see us spend six months at the Cottage and six months in California," she says.
One guess which six months.
