#119 - Nikoo Bafti, Meditative Art Magus

Nikoo Bafti is an Iranian-British visual artist and illustrator currently based in Rome, Italy. After graduating with an honors BA degree in Illustration from the Arts University of Bournemouth, Nikoo began her early career as an animation intern at Disney Channel UK, and has since been working independently as an illustrator as well as exhibiting her fine art internationally.

Inspired by the traditional miniature paintings of her Persian heritage, Nikoo combines intricate narrative imagery with a deep curiosity for the esoteric and metaphysical phenomena to create ethereal visions of a vibrant, holographic reality. With her spiritual and art practices closely intertwined, she uses her work as a vehicle to explore and understand what lies behind the veil.

Nikoo’s latest project, The Transmutation Oracle: A Metaphysical Guide To Navigating Reality, will be released by The Philosophical Research Society in January 2024 and is available now to pre-order at PRS.org.

You can find more of Nikoo’s work on her website nikoobafti.com & on Instagram @nikoobafti.

On this episode, Nikoo discusses the meditative nature of her artwork, the magical and aesthetic influences of her Persian roots, and how she developed her holographic outlook.

Pam also talks about the wounded healer archetype, and answers a listener question about staying magically anchored during their travels.

Our sponsors for this episode are Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, Open Coven, Sphere + Sundry, BetterHelp, Psyche Magic Podcast, Mithras Candle, and The Meta Muse Tarot

We also have brand new print-on-demand merch like Witch Wave shirts, sweatshirts, totes, stickers, and mugs available now here.
