In this episode of Modern Mystics, we’re joined by the incredible Chris-Anne; artist, author, and creator of the beloved Light Seer’s Tarot, The Muse Tarot, Sacred Creators Oracle, and Tarot of Curious Creatures.

Chris-Anne shares her journey from a creatively curious teenager in a small town north of Toronto to becoming one of the most recognized tarot deck creators in the world. We talk about discovering tarot in secret, studying design, building a remote agency in Chile, and how intuition and creativity have always been intertwined in her life.

We dive deep into:

• The difference between tarot and oracle decks

• How she channels inspiration (and what it really means to “work with the muse”)

• The evolution of Light Seer’s and what it feels like when your creation takes on a life of its own

• Creative blocks, healing, and rebuilding trust with intuition

• The impact of AI on art and spiritual tools

• Why imagination and inner-child energy matter more than ever right now

Chris-Anne also gives us a glimpse into her upcoming deck, a hybrid tarot system designed to bring readers back to intuitive discovery rather than memorized meanings.

This conversation is about creativity, courage, protecting your energy, and stepping into the unknown, full circle, Fool 2.0 style.

If you love tarot, oracle cards, runes, mysticism, or creative entrepreneurship, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Modern Mystics Podcast, Kasia and Stephanie sit down with Niraj Naik, founder of SomaBreath and former pharmacist turned breathwork pioneer, to explore his extraordinary journey from underground music producer and corporate healthcare to global wellness educator.

After facing a life-threatening autoimmune illness and being told surgery or experimental drugs were his only options, Niraj turned inward. Through breathwork, meditation, music, Ayurveda, cold exposure, and radical lifestyle shifts, he rebuilt his health and developed the foundations of what would become SomaBreath.

The conversation moves through the science and spirituality of breath, how rhythmic music can guide altered states of consciousness, why intermittent hypoxia and breath holds may influence longevity, and how healing trauma does not have to be dramatic or destabilizing. Niraj also shares his views on group breathwork versus one-on-one facilitation, the importance of nervous-system safety, and how daily practices can quietly transform energy, mood, and resilience.

Kasia and Stephanie dig into ancient Vedic ideas of Soma, the role of visualization and affirmations in rewiring the subconscious, why gut health sits at the centre of emotional wellbeing, and how music and sacred geometry visuals can deepen meditative states.

Plus: running massive raves at nineteen, producing music for Wim Hof, studying under yogic teachers, building global breathwork communities, Cambridge-validated research into altered states, and simple breathing rituals listeners can start using today.
