Paige Zaferiou (zah-FAIRY-oo) is an eclectic sacred artist, psychic medium, and trained watercolorist living and working in Salem, Massachusetts. When she’s not slinging cards or gazing at the stars, you can usually find her deep in a good book with a cup of tea.
MY WORK
When I say I’m an eclectic sacred artist, I mean that I work in a variety of disciplines in both the magical and visual arts. Some of my disciplines are:
- Tarot
- astrology
- dream interpretation
- spirit mediumship
- watercolor painting
- ritual, ceremony, and spell-work
- divination using just about anything including Pokémon cards, because why not!
These living practices help us connect with ourselves, be who we are, do what we came here to do — and understand what that is and who we are, if we’ve forgotten.
I’ve been blessed to study with some of the finest teachers this side of the astral plane. Among them:
- Briana Saussy, sacred artist. Since 2013 I’ve taken more of Bri’s classes than I can count on my hands, including Diagnostic Tarot, Spinning Gold, The Miracle Tree Sessions, and Called To The Crossroads.
- Theresa Reed, The Tarot Lady. I was the winner of Theresa’s 2014 Tarot Apprenticeship contest, and studied 1:1 with her for an incredibly enriching year.
- Alexis Cunningfolk, herbologist. The Lunar Apothecary is a wonderfully rich resource for herbalists and moon-lovers.
- Richard Yarde, master watercolorist. I was extremely fortunate to study with Richard during his last years. He helped me become the watercolorist I am today.
MY STORY
I believe in magic, the fundamental interconnectedness of everything, and the power of love.
And I believe those are all the same thing.
I believe in the power of the sacred and visual arts.
My journey as a spiritual seeker began at a gas station somewhere in Massachusetts in the 1980s. Through a bizarre set of circumstances involving my father’s friendliness and an Oregon license plate, my otherwise not-particularly-spiritual parents befriended and allowed me to be baptized by a shamanic practitioner of European descent.
That is a fact I did not learn until I was in my late twenties, living in San Francisco, and already inexorably drawn down my own spiritual path. In 2013 I hung up my shingle as a tarot reader and began studying with sacred arts masters Briana Saussy and Theresa Reed. From them I learned many things, including how to pray, how to properly perform visionary work, and how to run a business while living a magical life with courage and joy — whatever we have to weather.
In 2015 I moved back to the East Coast where I grew up and eventually settled here in Salem, a.k.a. Witch City.
Here is a little bit more about me:
- I love Star Trek and I’m working on a watercolor Star Trek Tarot deck (hit me up if you can help an author/artist out!)
- ADHD and happy to talk about it!
- I’m an Aries with Taurus rising and a Gemini Moon.
- I’m a Fire Rabbit and an INFP.
- I’m the bright happy fire between the sweet dark earth and the laughing sky.
- I’m here to make your fucking day!
FUCK YEAH
