How do you connect with your Ancestors and Spirit Guides?

Snake Charmer by Kathy Crabbe

Dear Moon Muser,

How do you connect with your ancestors and spirit guides?
I do this for a living, but still find it difficult to do for myself! I’ve included some tips below.

Why Nude Aliens?
Painting is a way I bring spirituality, ancestors, magick and ritual into my life.

Right now I’m being guided to paint nudes. Nudes with alien heads! (drawn with my non dominant hand, of course) and animals, plants and words chosen intuitively (randomly?) from 4 different sources.

This is how I welcome intuition into my work. I open the doors to the Other Realms and invite them in to share their magickal synchronicities.

How can you apply this to your own life?
By recognizing when a coincidence is more than a coincidence and instead points to a synchronicity connecting you to your path, your guides, your inner compass.

How can you welcome more of this kind of knowing into your life?
By allowing it. Recognizing it. Accepting it. Trusting it. It may not make a lot of sense at first, but that is how the non rational, intuitive brain often communicates.

For example, to write this blog I asked my ancestors for help. My paternal grandmother came through the loudest. She cut out a star for me and helped me paint my eyelids blue which may sound bizarre, but this helped me recognize my own starring role and the need to acknowledge it. The blue eyelids helped me understand that I connect with these watery, Piscean, under water realms of emotion and dreams to help guide others in accessing their own hidden gifts.

Create a Dream Journal
If you need help, try starting a dream journal and recording your dreams and any symbols and signs that come your way. Share your feelings about these findings so you’ll know what headspace you were in when they appeared and then watch and learn, be open, and allow spirit into your life. Make sure to say an affirmation or prayer for protection as well.

If you need more help with any of this please contact me for a soul reading, or for ongoing soul support.

Sparkly Blessings!
Kathy Crabbe

Solstice Herbs to Celebrate Summer

Happy Solstice!

This morning after ritual with my tribe I pulled a Cat Herbal from the new oracle deck and Hyssop showed up!

Feeling so blessed, lucky and joyful to belong to a coven of witches and to be studying with such an amazing witch teacher: Francesca de Grandis.

Solstice is for singing and dancing and worshiping Papa Sun and the magick is especially powerful when we come together as a group.

I encourage you to make tribe, start a coven, or just find a friend or two to celebrate the solstices and equinoxes with because it’s so darn fun, and rich, and beautiful and healing. Blessed BEE!

You ARE Enough

Opening up to love…what does that mean for you?

Sometimes it may seem like no matter what you do you can’t seem to get it right.

Sometimes it may feel too painful to bear; the sorrow, loss, pain of simply being alive and loving and caring too much.

Allow yourself to feel. Feel it all. For in feeling those feelings, you touch your power.

You are alive. You are human.

Ask your gods, the universe for help. Ask a friend. Reach out and find love, for it is there, in every moment of every day. Believe in you. You are enough.

Sparkly Blessings,
