199. Rebecca Padgett: The Hermit Card - The Mystic is an Artist

How do we honor The Hermit card as our anchor for 2025?How do we ground through devotion and reverence for our practices?How do we simplify to the essence of our path?Rebecca Padgett was the first person that came to mind when I dreamed of recording a conversation on The Hermit card. Rebecca's work and presence as an artist and a diviner embody The Hermit at its core: wise, gentle, and powerful.In this conversation, we discussed the devotional aspect of the craft, how to zoom into the essence of our practices, and what it means to listen to our own inner guidance from a place of trust and reverence. It's a deep, meditative conversation that we recorded quite early in the day about a month ago, and I'm excited for you to soak in its wisdom.Rebecca Padgett is a visual artist living in rural Ontario, Canada. She uses a range of tools, from astrology, tarot, and reiki, to psychism and mediumship, working with her spirit guides and her intuition in her work. In the past she has mostly worked with found objects, collage and abstract expressionist painting. After taking a seven year break to study spiritual and esoteric practices she is now returning to the area where intuition and creativity meet, exploring high frequencies of love from the world of spirit and ancestors, and after entering motherhood has a newfound focus on themes of life and death.Rebecca is also practised in the reading space and enjoys helping to guide people in developing their own intuitive and psychic abilities, whether it be artists wanting to bring in the awareness of spirit through their work and practices, moms wanting to connect more deeply to their life and spirit world, or anyone who may be interested in connecting to the unseen world and developing their gifts. She has offered hundreds of readings to support clients on their path through life’s changes and challenges.
