About Emerald Lotus
Hi, I’m Reid (she/her) and I own Emerald Lotus.
Emerald Lotus began as a blog name for me as I decided to share my spiritual journey back in 2016. Since then Emerald Lotus has simultaneously become more ‘me’ and somehow more an entity outside of myself.
Why Emerald Lotus? The name Emerald Lotus came easily and has stuck with me for the past 9 years. Although sometimes I add ‘divination’ or ‘mystic’ at the end to solidify what we’re up to here, Emerald Lotus has always rung true.
A woman in a psychic workshop with me in 2015 told me I’d start a brand with the color Emerald in my logo. That same day I was visited in meditation by Archangel Raphael - who I found out after was associated with the color Emerald.
The final push to call it Emerald came when I learned about the Emerald Tablets. Perhaps most well known for its aphorism: "As above, so below.” Written through a combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, the Emerald Tablets are associated with the pursuit of self-discovery, enlightenment, and understanding universal truths - much like what I want Emerald Lotus to embody and explore.
Lotus came from my love of flowers. I worked as an apprentice in a flower shop for a few years and have since been in love with plants and nature. The lotus flower has a rich spiritual history, symbolizing rebirth, purity, and enlightenment across cultures, from ancient Egypt's sacred rituals to Eastern traditions of spiritual awakening.
It seemed to make sense together:
Emerald - symbolizing knowledge, truth, wisdom
Lotus - sacred ritual, intuition, spiritual awakening

As a psychic reader…
I've been an intuitive reader for 10 years (wow, time flies!). For much of that time, I only offered a limited number of readings each year, but lately I've been loving dedicating more of my time to reading for clients.
My reading style is honest and practical, with a focus on providing clear, actionable steps to help you move forward. My goal is for you to leave feeling empowered, whether with peace of mind or inspiration for your next step. I always strive to offer as much practical guidance as possible.
As a deeply spiritual person, I provide highly attuned messages. If you're on an advanced spiritual journey, I can meet you where you are and offer insight that resonates. My readings can be deeply esoteric, depending on the depth and intensity of your own path.
To see my reading styles & examples, check out some of my free readings over on TikTok (you don't need an account to access).
