About Elizabeth Lopes
My work exists at the intersection of creativity, observation and holistic practice.
I have long been drawn to disciplines that explore both the visible and the intangible. Astrology, Reiki, tarot, crystal work, design, writing, mineral sourcing and the study of our environments each offer a different way of understanding ourselves, the spaces we inhabit and the lives we create.
Rather than existing as separate interests, these disciplines have gradually become part of a single evolving practice, connected by an interest in how we perceive, shape and experience the world around us.
Today, my work spans private practice, creative direction, product design, writing and the sourcing of exceptional minerals, alongside continued study across the subjects that inform my work.
I consider knowledge a lifelong pursuit. This website is both an expression of my practice as it exists today and a record of its continued evolution.
Holistic Practice
As a Reiki Master, astrologer, tarot reader and crystal practitioner, I work privately with individuals seeking greater clarity, alignment and direction. Alongside my private practice, I work as a tarot reader and astrologer with Eye of Hatha in Fulham, London.
My approach brings together practical conversation, intuitive insight and energetic practice. Depending on the individual and what is present, this may involve astrology, tarot, Reiki, crystal work or a combination of approaches.
The intention is not to prescribe answers, but to create space for reflection, restoration and greater awareness, helping people recognise patterns, reconnect with their own judgement and move forward with a clearer sense of direction.
I believe holistic practice should complement practical life rather than exist separately from it. The work is therefore grounded in the circumstances of the individual, while remaining open to the less tangible influences that may also be at play.
Creative Practice
Creativity sits at the heart of everything I do.
Whether designing objects, developing collections, writing or exploring new materials, I am interested in the ways thoughtful design can influence our relationship with ourselves and our environments.
I don't consider creativity and holistic practice opposing pursuits. Both begin with observation. Both draw upon curiosity, intuition and an openness to seeing familiar things differently.
Through Muse, I explore these ideas through minerals, objects, sourcing and design, considering new ways in which natural materials can exist within contemporary life. This interest has developed over many years, including an early commission creating crystal artwork for Graceland’s Yard.
At the centre of that exploration is a recurring question:
How might beauty also serve a purpose?
Minerals & Sourcing
My fascination with crystals extends beyond their metaphysical associations.
I am equally captivated by minerals as extraordinary geological formations: products of processes occurring over immense periods of time, possessing remarkable structures, colours, textures and individual character.
That fascination has developed naturally into sourcing, research and design. I seek exceptional specimens for private clients and interiors, while continually expanding my knowledge of mineralogy, provenance, craftsmanship and the metaphysical traditions associated with different stones.
For me, minerals can exist simultaneously as objects of natural beauty, materials for design, energetic tools and enduring objects of wonder.
Writing & Research
Writing allows me to explore ideas with a depth that shorter forms of communication rarely permit.
Through essays, journals and longer-form observations, I document the subjects I am studying, the places and objects I encounter, and the ideas that emerge through my work.
Research sits alongside this. I remain interested in developing knowledge across both established areas of practice and subjects that may initially appear unrelated. Often it is in the relationship between disciplines that the most interesting ideas emerge.
I prefer exploration to the performance of certainty. What I publish therefore reflects a practice that remains active, questioning and open to revision.
An Evolving Practice
I don't consider what you see here a finished philosophy or completed body of work.
The practice continues to develop through study, experience, creativity and working with others. Some disciplines will deepen, others may move in unexpected directions, and new interests will inevitably emerge.
The constant is curiosity: a desire to understand more deeply, create thoughtfully and apply what I learn with increasing discernment.
The seen and unseen, considered together.
