The Curious Empath is a podcast for those who experience life with unusual depth — and want to explore it that way.

Honest, wide-ranging conversation with fascinating people and ideas — and the belief that depth of feeling is a gift worth understanding.

   Tarot as a Mirror with Katia Wallace

   On this shorter episode of The Curious Empath, Catherine welcomes healer, poet, artist, ritualist and mother Katia Wallace. Katia has more than ten years of experience reading tarot and lives in the UK, though she's originally from France. Katia shares how her Italian grandmother's tarot reading and her other grandmother's visits to healers shaped her path. She also describes how becoming a mother led her into womb healing and ancestral healing. She explains why she tells clients she isn't a fortune teller and walks through her nine-card pyramid spread. She also explains how flower therapy (communicating with the spirit of plants) differs from flower essences. In this episode: Katia's family roots in tarot and energy healing Womb healing and ancestral healing after her daughter's birth Tarot as a mirror: what's leaving, what's ongoing, what's coming in The nine-card pyramid spread Destiny as co-creation rather than fate Flower therapy vs. flower essences, and noticing the plants that keep showing up for you Resources mentioned The Rebel Heart Tarot by Alice Grist Linda Howe (books on the Akashic Records) Juliet Bryant (Juliet's Kitchen, ships to the US) My favorite Tarot & Oracle Decks (aff links) The Good Karma Tarot (https://link.amazon/B0fHgpBXO) The Neoteric Tarot (https://wyspell.com/products/78-card-beginner-tarot-deck-with-guidebook-beautiful-unique-luxury-indie-wyspell-tarot-cards-complete-tarot-deck-set?srsltid=AU7gw4VS-3OBpw38AP3UoG6CIuXXp-0joKPjxGkiBUIogdjVgFwTLCIp) The Wild & Sacred Feminine Oracle Deck (https://link.amazon/B02QQVsd4) The Medicine Woman Oracle Deck (https://link.amazon/B0gaubeOl) Connect with Katia - Website (https://www.katiawallaceenergy.com/) - Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/katiawallaceenergy) Connect with Catherine - ⁠Website⁠⁠ (https://catherinequiring.com) - ⁠⁠Substack (https://catherinequiring.substack.com/) - Sacred Wild (https://catherinequiring.com/sacredwild) (https://sacredwild5.substack.com/p/andromeda-ascension-and-the-art-of)
