Is It Time to Shimmer?

Sunset for 2 by Kathy Crabbe (LuLu in Laguna series

It feels so exciting, like a breath of fresh, clean, ocean air to shift the focus of this museletter to my paintings; where magic and mystery and mermaids sing.

As I prepare for my first big art show after a break: the San Diego Festival of the Arts (I'm in booth 918) and massively re-organize my LuLu in Laguna series of beachey, silk art cats, dogs, mermaids and fairy art for the show painted during my 7 years in Laguna Beach I can feel their salty, sunny, sweet and happy energy fill my life again and spill out into the universe.

If you’d like to follow my magical art and spirituial practice and receive sneak peeks, advance notice and special pricing for upcoming shopping events please join my New Moon Museletter!

About Kathy Crabbe

I have been an artist and astrologer forever and a soul reader since awakening my intuitive gifts 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 the 1000 Islands, Canada with my pooch and partner in homes we’ve built ourselves.

Aries New Moon Soul Reading (I Will Survive and Thrive)

Spring has Sprung AND it’s the fiery, impulsive New Moon in ARIES on April 11.

So, get ready to give yourself a soul reading by picking-a-card from one of my 4 hand painted oracle decks pictured above. The reveal is below. First, take a few relaxed breaths and then make a wish.

By the way, both Spring and the New Moon are THE BEST TIME to set your intentions for the moonth (and the year) ahead. At the bottom of this post you’ll also find a 13 minute video filmed in an incredible succulent/cactus garden in bloom near my home in Temecula, California.

“I Will Survive and Thrive” is the affirmation of the month so say it loud and say it proud.

New Moon in Aries Soul Reading

Card 1: Ande was ready for any adventure (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I am brave.
Affirmation: I am ready for any adventure.
Element: Fire

Ande was ready for any adventure (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Song
I am strong, brave, and ready;
a warrior in heart, mind and body.

I am prepared, excited, and lucky;
armed with knowledge,
grounded and guided by intuition.

Whatever happens
I will survive AND thrive.
I am blessed
and oh, so grateful 
for being alive.

If this card appears in a reading get ready for an adventure! It may be external or internal; in the mundane world or in the magical realms. You are prepared, your mind clear, and your heart steady. If you don’t yet know the destination or when you’ll arrive that is okay too. It will be revealed in time. Trust that you ARE on the right path and that you will be guided. Signposts will appear along the way. Trust is required as well as surrender. So be present and enjoy the journey.

In my own life I have used this card to help a loved one pass over to the Other Side. She was adventurous so this card appealed to her and helped her trust the blessings of her final journey.

Creative Journal Prompt
Imagine that you’re heading out next week for the adventure of a lifetime; what will you pack? Describe.
