About me♡
Hi there! My name is Stef Mieko. I have been a student of the occult and spiritual for as long as I can remember, honing my intuitive capabilities and connection with the divine since I was a child. Some of my early memories are watching psychic shows on TV and playing games with myself to try to grow my own psychic abilities, such as trying to guess the exact year on different coins lol!
I was introduced to spirituality very early on as I had a Japanese grandmother, and I become very interested in Buddhism. As a child, this interest in Buddhism led into a deep fascination with all of the other belief systems that existed in the world. I thought it was so amazing that so many different cultures and people had different ideas on how life and the universe worked.
My father was also diagnosed as terminally ill when I was around 9 years old. As an inquisitive and sensitive child, watching my father die slowly over the course of the next 11 years made me absolutely obsessed with my mortality. It thrust me headfirst into the "why's" of life. Why are we here? What is consciousness? What is death? What does it mean to be alive?
This obsession became passion. After the death of my father, I had to embark on an intense healing journey. It was also around this time I picked up my first tarot deck, over 10 years ago now. Over the course of several years, I dove headfirst into healing my emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical health.
This healing journey transitioned my interest from learning about worldly religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christian mysticism to studying more occult matters - tarot, divination, Hermeticism, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, paganism, animism/Shamanism, healing with sound, Qabalah, chaos magic, astrology, numerology, and even quantum studies, etc. I studied and dabbled in plant medicine from all over the world and have been slowly dipping my toes into herbalism. I became a true student of the occult and the esoteric. I studied the history of these systems, their beliefs, and along the way, I came to develop my own beliefs about how the universe truly works.
To top it off, I have a psychology degree and often approach my spiritual work from a position of understanding why our mental health can be the way that it is, how the mind & nervous system carries trauma, and how an unhealed inner child may manifest in toxic cycles and patterns in adult life. I am also a huge fan of Carl Jung's work and often apply a Jungian framework to our universe and consciousness.
I think that my wide berth of knowledge on these matters, multiple trips through a dark night of the soul, and my knowledge of alchemizing and transmuting emotions gives me a very unique perspective as a tarot reader and spiritual guide. I never thought of myself as a light worker as many readers do, but rather a shadow worker. I know how to dip my toes into the darkest depths of our reality and return stronger than before.
I believe more than anything that together, we are co-creating this reality with our consciousness. Your mindset and perspective has the ability to change your life. But in order to change our mindset, sometimes we have to dig deep and unpack some old wounds in order to begin to believe the positive affirmations we are trying to tell ourselves.
My extensive studies and exploration into the mystical have made me come to believe that my true gift is unraveling one's problems by discovering their origins and seeing through to one's true essence. As adults, our ego develops through a collection of experiences, wounds, trauma, unmet needs, and disrespected boundaries. All of this can hinder our growth and make us act in ways that are not really true to the Real Self/the soul. It is my goal to help you unwind the ego and return to the soul.
In my tarot readings, I will connect with your energy and the divine to help you unravel some of your struggles in life. I can provide spiritual guidance and practical advice on what actually needs healing in order for you to align on your highest timeline. Many are surprised to find that the source of their current toxic cycle began much earlier in life than they expected. For example, we find that returning to a partner who does not give us the love we needs can come from a wound that developed when our parents did not give us the attention we craved as children. Understanding the true source of a wound can help us actually start processing and aligning on our best timeline in life.
I believe in a better world for all of us. But I think that a better world means it's our responsibility to heal our own selves so that we never project our wounds onto others or stay stuck in toxic karmic cycles.
I am so excited to connect with you, and I hope that my readings and guidance bring you clarity so that you can become your best self. We all deserve to walk through this life as our highest selves.
Sending so much love to all who read this <3
