This week I was joined by Elia Diane Fushi Bekene (selflove_tribute)!!! Elia is a multifaceted healer and source of wisdom. We chatted about their journey to becoming an artist, channel, and ancestral healer and I absolutely loved their perspective and advice on ancestral healing and moving through transitional times. Elia approached ancestral healing from such a worldly, ancient perspective that is soooo different from what I have learned from others. They see healing in every relationship we have and understand that ancestors don't have to be related in order to learn from them. This ideology (paired with their personal healing journey) inspired their amazing tarot deck that will be coming out very soon!!! 

ABOUT ELIA:
Elia/selflovetribute (they/them/theirs) is a light-skinned Black trans non-binary ancestral wound alchemist, wxtch and artist living & working between Marseille and Berlin. They work with divination arts such as Reiki, Tarot, astrology & hypnosis.

Drawing from ancestral knowledge, their practice is rooted in weaving ancient and modern practices into tangible healing tools that are in support of ancestral healing, radical self-love and collective liberation. This practice is grounded in an intimate relationship with the land and the more than human, Spirit, Ancestry, the Elements.

As they’re always reflecting on their longing for “home”, their practice centers the sacred work of imagination & fantasy to reconcile with the many wounds left by displacement, nostalgia, and a longing for a home they have never known.
