I found Camelia Elias in a roundabout way. My friend, Ryan Edward, artist and cartographer extraordinaire, took classes with her a few years ago, and they became friends. When Ryan and I got together, I would get to learn second-hand about Camelia’s view of the cards and reading and the world, and I became fascinated.
Even the way she offers readings on her site is wonderful “Few cards on the table” “Many cards on the table”. I’ve struggled in the past with pricing my readings, because I don’t time them. My solution was “60 minute-ish reading”. Hers is much more grand.
I like the straightforward perspective and fierceness that Camelia shows in her writing and work, and I feel this visceral appreciation for the honesty with which she approaches the cards.
Thank you, Ryan, for introducing me to a new teacher.
Thank you, Camelia, for letting us learn more about you.
