In this Shortcast - a condensed version of the original episode - Anne Mühlethaler and tarot creator Lucia Dami explore the intersection of art, spirituality and feminine archetypes. Through her deck "The Divine Feminine", Dami shares insights on Jungian psychology, goddess mythology, and how to harness these ancient symbols for personal growth and creative expression.
In this episode of Out of the Clouds, Anne V. Mühlethaler welcomes artist and creator Lucia Dami for a deep dive into her creative journey, the exploration of archetypes, and her connection to the divine feminine. Lucia, a Geneva-raised artist now based in London, has been described by Surface magazine as “a visionary creator who channels the mystery and fluidity of the feminine into evocative works of art.” Her unique approach blends symbolism, spirituality, and storytelling to create a profound resonance with her audience.
Lucia’s work, including her highly sought-after sacred portrayals and sacred avatar commissions, allows women to see themselves reflected through a lens of empowerment and magic. Her art is not only visually striking but serves as a healing practice, honouring the fluidity and depth of the feminine.
Lucia and Anne were put in touch by their friend, the artist Julia Astok, and synchronicity was at play when Julia came to meet Anne in Geneva for one of her salons. This coincided with the dates when Lucia wanted to get her new tarot deck, the Elysian Tarot, photographed, for its Kickstarter campaign.
Together, Anne and Lucia discuss the origins and creation of The Elysian Tarot, starting with Lucia’s meet cute with Tarot. She explains how the project is both a personal odyssey and a tool for self-discovery. Lucia shares how a health crisis got her to reconnect with her body, spirit, and creative essence. Anne asks Lucia to talk about the role of Jungian archetypes in her workshops, and how the divine feminine in all its form become a guide to women throughout their lives.
The end the conversation on Lucia's understanding of the transformative power of creativity as a bridge between the unseen and the seen.
