A Journey Through Cards, Shadows, Shamanism & Healing with Joke Bekaert
About this episode
This episode is an insightful yet lighthearted conversation with Joke Bekaert, a Belgian spiritual practitioner whose journey into tarot, shamanism, and energy work is as inspiring as it is authentic. From a childhood influenced by her grandmother to her own emergence from the "spiritual closet," Joke shares how her passion for tarot, her shamanic training, and her diagnosis with ankylosing spondylitis shaped her into the healer she is today.
Joke opens up about how she turned pain into purpose, how she incorporates ancient spiritual traditions into her modern life, and why she teaches tarot, reiki, and shamanic practices rooted in connection and integrity. With humour, humility, and grounded wisdom, she offers a glimpse into what it means to walk a magical path while managing everyday realities.
