Hi, all! I’m Katerina. I grew up mostly in Sydney, Australia. I found my way here early in the year, after digging into information on different deities.
I’ve always been able to rely on my intuition, like, everything always works out for me in the end. So, despite all the anxiety I had most of my life, there were many times I’ve been inexplicably chill. (Fortunately, I won’t be entering my 30s with it still clinging to me – bye-bye, anxiety!) Especially when it comes to when things are going to happen.
For example, my partner was expecting a certain thing to happen 3 months from the start because that’s when we were told it would happen. I was like, “Don’t worry, it’s not going to happen until later in the year. Forget about it.” Then we got two more updates about the date, and more people agreed with my partner, expecting it to happen sooner, including professionals whose job is to prepare for it. And again, I was like, “Don’t worry, they’re wrong.” And guess, what? It was delayed until exactly when I said. Everyone close to me is so used to it by now that they don’t even ask how I know anymore.
Despite all my examples, I thought nothing non-mundane of it, until earlier this year when I got a few readings done. It was actually really helpful for different people to just flat-out say I’m psychic, an empath, and so on. I have a lot of self-doubt. Like, constant self-doubt in my mind about everything I do and say. So it’s always been weird that I’ve had 100% confidence in my intuition and whenever I doubt myself, I just defer to my subconscious knowing best.
But knowing there’s something more to it also helped my perspective towards those around me. I would wonder why they couldn’t see outcomes like I saw them. I would try to teach some of them to “think before worrying” because their anxiety towards the future worried me. I don’t want the people I care about to lose sleep and have high blood pressure from such silly things! It was the classic trope of seeing someone else suffering from something I used to making me want to help them overcome it even harder.
So, hearing that I’m the different one helped me relax, understand myself and others more, and realise I could help in different ways. I started doing weekly tarot readings for myself and was shocked about the accuracy the first 12 or so times. I thought maybe it’s just me, so I started doing some for friends, and when they were also mind-blown by their readings, I finally started to accept that I am capable of so much more than I thought.
I’ve always been looking for some way to help others, hence my attempts at becoming a teacher professionally (which I’ve failed every time, thanks to hating the bureaucracy), and always enjoying teaching what I know to others so they too can know. So, now I’m here, hoping to learn more and find my way around everything that’s come to light and will do so in the future. I have yet to discover all of what I’m capable of, but I am excited about the journey. And hopefully, I’ll even find a way to meaningfully contribute and help others, too! That’s the dream right there.
We all love to learn new things.
I really only regularly use tarot but for more of a direct(ish) question or situation. Oracle cards & if I use my pendulum I’m connecting with my ancestors. At times I do use Witches Runes for a more general idea & Lithomancy for kind of a helper… I guess 
to learn the history, background, & culture of the deities that I do work with & be able to put their positions 
this AM either 
Anyway… learning 
is something I’m continually whether it in any way relates to my practice, healing, self-care, or self-awareness… which… all ties together really 
crystals & not just because they’re pretty 
always
holes all the time 
It’s nice to meet you!
(I’m kidding.)
