A Guided Meditation to help you Uncover Your True Mission
Why am I here in your blogosphere?
What is my duty to you?
What can I offer you within this sacred space and time we have together?
--- a moment of magic ---
a glimmer
sparkle
breath
insight
And in that spirit I pull a Lefty Oracle card and I write, channel, meditate this
Full Moon in Capricorn Reading.
Sparkly Blessings,
Kathy Crabbe
Full Moon in Capricorn Guided Meditation
This is soul work.
No need to write it down.
To begin, visualize yourself surrounded by ice.
Alive.
The ice contains and purifies your soul so that your deepest, purest, inner mission awaits you clearly.
Sustain enough inner fire to stay alive.
To 'see' into this vision of your mission call upon your guides, the Divine, your higher power, black onyx, or the Lefty Oracle tor assistance, if need be.
Know that you are in your mission. You are living your mission even if you don't yet know what it is.
Be in charge
of yourself
for a change.
Strong
disciplined
protected
inert.
Just
BE.
Allow thoughts to fly past you. This may not be easy (at least it wasn't for me!)
Now, place whatever image, symbol, feeling, sound etc. that came to you into your heart, knowing it will grow and flourish there. If you'd like to say a short affirmation or blessing, please do!
Blessed Be.

Lefty Oracle Card Message: Sometimes all we really need is a big pink sweater*
Mantra: I am vulnerable.
Affirmation: I am brave and vulnerable.
Element: Earth
Song
I want to get lost
in my pink sweater.
Like a cloud, a furry friend,
a lover’s hug, or a bean bag.
It’s comfort food
for the soul.
When this card appears in a reading it’s time for self care! What do you need to make yourself feel good? To feel pampered, cared for, loved? Make a list and do one of the things on the list every day for a week. Note how good it feels. Revel in it. Express it. Just plain enjoy it. It’s long overdue and you deserve it, whether you know it or not.
In my own life I try to take special note of daily pleasures; melted cheese on toast, warm sun on bare skin, hugs, and walks in nature on a dirt road. Sometimes I make silly, relaxing sounds to release my joy, sometimes I smile to myself and I give thanks when I remember. Life is simple at such moments but oh, so full.
*Excerpted from the Lefty Oracle Guidebook
The Birthing of the Lefty Oracle Deck
I became a soul reader at age forty after painting exclusively with my non dominant left hand for over five years. This awoke my intuition in a big way and taught me how to slow down and trust myself. In 2008 I created a Lefty Oracle deck and started giving intuitive readings that have touched many lives.
Growing up, I used store bought tarot and oracle decks, but when I started giving readings professionally I decided to make my own cards. So I chose fifty-two images out of one thousand lefty drawings and made a deck. I also took classes in clairvoyance and mediumship.
The Leftys are spiritual guides that show us how to release perfectionism to make room for simple, mindful ways of being. They are teachers and bridge builders that guide us to our higher selves. They show us, by example a freer and more playful way to live.
I hope this deck inspires you, your clients, and your loved ones to make creative and personal breakthroughs in all areas of your life.
From my heart and soul to yours,
Kathy Crabbe

Cycle of Creation #CroneClub
I recently stopped by the Fallbrook Art Center's gift store, "The Find" and spoke with Kimber about selling my work in her fine shop. She loved the wood pieces especially and suggested I paint my Crone Club Charms on wood and so I have! This is the 4th one I've created on wood and I LOVE it and will continue to paint more.
I also met Annie Rowley last night at her Santa Ysabel Art Gallery. She has inspired me to delve even more deeply into what this new series means. Go visit her Gallery - I ADORE it and always meet fascinating people there and get involved in many wonderful conversations.
The original painting above is available here or if you'd like cards or prints please email me.

Gemini; the inner child, the trickster, guides us during this New Moon time so working with my Lefty Oracle Deck is the perfect choice for helping us access our inner child.
Be still, quiet...let the chatter subside. Fill your inner space instead with Faery Blessings of moonlight and starlight and the songs of gods at play. Welcome!
If you've already chosen your Lefty Card for the New Moon from my previous blog post or social media posts then read on for the results of your choice.
New Moon in Gemini Lefty Oracle Card Reveal
Card No. 1: At night Karya dreams of wings
Mantra: I am magical.
Affirmation: My dreams have wings and so do I!
Element: Air
Song
There is magick in the night.
When small sounds become big,
and feathers form wings.
I fly to meet my maker,
angelic, pink and proud.
Heart aflutter.
Mind still.
Light years flash by -
Moon-Clear,
Heart-Wise.
Intuition awakens.
If this card appears in a reading your dreams are ready to take flight. So make them good dreams, dreams that light you up inside and add roses to your cheeks. Small dreams or big, it's not important, but you do have dreams and it's time to start believing in them by taking that first step towards realization. Let them come alive in your heart, your soul, your body, your mind. Believe in YOU. You are Divine.
In my own life, dreams have always guided me although it's far from easy to pay attention to them. Often my body knows the truth when my mind does not, so I listen on as many levels as I can because truth can often be subtle.
Card No. 2: Demon
Mantra: I transform.
Affirmation: I journey into the dark to discover inner truths.
Element: Spirit
Song
Be brave dear Soul,
face your fright.
open the door,
welcome the light.
If this card appears in a reading expect the unexpected! There is a trickster in your midst. Maybe it's you? Not a mean trickster, but a true trickster; one who shifts your reality and helps you see things from a new perspective. Perhaps you've become complacent, or lazy, or overly self satisfied, and are no longer seeing the big picture becuase you're too caught up in small details and worries. This WILL change soon so get ready to open your eyes wide and see the world in a whole new way.
In my own life I do my best to see negative, challenging experiences on a deeper level and I ask questions, such as, "What is the teaching in this? What is being mirrored back to me about myself? What changes need to happen now?"
Card No. 3: I refuse to take sides
Mantra: I flow.
Affirmation: I stand for truth, beauty, intelligence and integrity.
Element: Water
Song
By my nature
I flow.
I am rhythm: inexorable,
changeable, unstoppable.
I cannot live on land
Or in the air (for long)
I am water,
lake,
ocean,
pond,
river,
healing tears,
blessed rain,
ice, and snow.
I will not fight for you, or your gods,
but I will invite you
beneath and below,
where your will becomes gills
and your choices nil.
Welcome.
If this card appears in a reading you ARE in your power. Un-swayed by others, you know what you want. Guided by your own moral compass, intuition and intellect, the path is made easier. There is a fated quality to your decision. This is what you were put here to do.
In my own life there is a lot of second-guessing, so when the above happens and things feel fated I just KNOW I’m on the right track. Often a dream will confirm it. It’s so much easier to move forward with pluck and confidence when this happens. I can only describe it as a bone-deep knowingness; so deep that nothing can touch it because it’s meant to be.
