EP 42 Camelia Elias on Clear Sight and Clean Cuts
Camelia Elias holds a PhD and DPhil and spent the last twenty years as a professor of literature, most recently at Roskilde University in Denmark. Recently, she escaped academia to start an online school, Aradia Academy, where she teaches cartomancy (card reading); that is, how to read—yourself, someone else, books, pictures, films, the situation, the problem, or anything else—without belief, emotion, preconceptions or other obscurations getting in the way.
She recently said, “Why is reading cards fascinating? Because their visual language allows us to bypass everything we know or think we know.”
Boiling our conversation down to the keywords, we talk about:
interesting—curiosity—dullness—belief—vastness—strategy—one cut—the present circumstances—”and yet”—concrete—psychomagic—Jodorowsky—Freud—Boom!
(L to R) Dr. Camelia Elias, Freya
