My name is Elliot O’Keeffe. I am a psychic medium and tarot reader with over fifteen years of study and lived practice. Tarot has been both a teacher and a companion in my life, guiding me through cycles of learning, unlearning, humility and deeper connection to self, community, and spirit.
I am a second/third-generation Irish settler on Turtle Island. I was raised on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən Peoples, known today as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations as well as the W̱SÁNEĆ nation. These lands have profoundly shaped my spiritual path and taught me a form of magic I had long been seeking. I hold deep respect and gratitude for the land, its energy, and honor the sovereignty for the rightful caretakers of Turtle Island.
I am the firstborn son of Patrick O’Keeffe, and one of nine grandchildren of Marie Rose O’Keeffe and Albert O’Keeffe. My Grandmother was born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, while my Grandfather was born in Cork, Ireland, and later moved to England to join the war at fourteen. From my grandparents and ancestors, I inherited a legacy rooted in love, kindness, and resilience.
I carry the fire of the O’Keeffe lineage—Ó Caoimh—, which means gentle in Irish, a lineage shaped by survival, storytelling, and the courage to challenge systems that no longer serve.
There are words often spoken about our family that I carry close to my heart:
- You come from people who survived wars, famine, and displacement.
- You come from storytellers who kept their identity alive when it was forbidden.
- You come from Cork blood—stubborn, warm, witty, and unbreakable.
- No matter what you face, remember:
- your ancestors did not endure all of that so you would doubt your own strength.
Through tarot and community, my intention is to support connection, dedication, and the ongoing work of unlearning so that new, more truthful ways of being can emerge. I believe the generations ahead of us deserve peace, freedom, and clarity, rooted in honest history, open communication, and collective balance.
