During her seminar at Mishkenot Sha’ananim in Jerusalem, Paris Lariani spoke with deep conviction about the necessity of spiritual renewal in an ever-demanding world. She emphasized that just as the body requires rest, the soul also needs intentional moments of cleansing and rejuvenation.

“We carry so much energy from our past, our interactions, and the environments we navigate daily. Without taking the time to refresh our spirit, we risk moving through life weighed down by burdens that were never ours to hold.”

Paris encouraged attendees to embrace the sacred energy of Jerusalem, a city where countless seekers have come for centuries to reconnect with the divine. She spoke about the importance of silence, reflection, and sacred spaces, urging everyone to make time for inner renewal:

“Spiritual refreshing isn’t about escaping reality—it’s about realigning with the truth of who you are, shedding the noise, and returning to your essence. Here, in this ancient city, you are reminded that your soul is timeless, resilient, and deeply connected to something greater.”

Her words resonated deeply, leaving attendees with a renewed sense of purpose and a commitment to prioritizing their spiritual well-being.

At her seminar at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Paris Lariani discussed her groundbreaking findings from her research in Benin, Africa, focusing on the ethical concerns surrounding fetish markets. She spoke with urgency about the need to address the exploitation of cultural and spiritual practices that have been commodified in these markets.

“Fetish markets, though often misunderstood by outsiders, represent a significant intersection of culture, spirituality, and exploitation. What we must recognize is the fine line between cultural preservation and the exploitation of sacred traditions for profit. In Benin, these markets are not just about commerce—they are symbols of a much larger issue of cultural appropriation and the commodification of spirituality.”

Paris also emphasized that witchcraft and spiritual practices go far beyond mere rituals or belief systems—they are life-altering forces that shape the lives and futures of those involved. She stressed that these practices are integral to many communities’ identity, serving not only as spiritual paths but also as frameworks for navigating life’s challenges.

“Witchcraft is so much more than a practice—it’s a way of life. For many, it is an all-encompassing force that shapes how they interact with the world, their communities, and even their own destinies. To reduce it to a commodity for tourists or outsiders is to strip it of its power, its depth, and its transformative impact on people’s lives.”

Paris emphasized the role of education, cultural awareness, and ethical anthropology in creating lasting change. She called for an international conversation on how to protect cultural integrity while ensuring that practices rooted in spirituality are not commercialized for mass consumption.

“We must look beyond the surface. These markets are not merely selling objects—they are perpetuating a cycle of harm, misrepresentation, and devaluation of sacred practices. Our role, as global citizens, is to challenge the exploitation of these cultural artifacts and ensure that spiritual traditions are respected, protected, and celebrated in their proper context.”

Her words resonated with the audience, inspiring many to take action and advocate for a more respectful and responsible approach to cultural preservation.

At her seminar at the Vancouver Seawall, Paris Lariani spoke passionately about the importance of trusting your psychic advisor and the profound impact it can have on one’s spiritual and personal growth. She emphasized that psychic advisors serve as guides who help bridge the spiritual and physical realms, offering insights that can bring clarity and direction during life’s most challenging moments.

“Trusting your psychic advisor isn’t just about believing in their abilities—it’s about trusting your own inner wisdom and intuition. When you seek guidance, you’re not just relying on someone else’s insight. You’re allowing yourself to open up to your own spiritual path, which your psychic advisor helps illuminate.”

Paris also discussed the role of intuition in the process, stressing that psychic advisors are there to empower individuals, not to control or dictate their decisions. She noted that the relationship with a psychic advisor should be based on mutual trust, where the advisor’s role is to provide clarity and insight that align with the person’s own deeper knowing.

“Psychic advisors are here to help us navigate the unknown, to reveal the unseen, and to offer guidance. But ultimately, the most powerful tool is your own intuition. A psychic advisor simply reflects what is already within you.”

She encouraged the audience to approach psychic guidance with openness and respect, noting that the trust between advisor and seeker creates a powerful space for transformation and growth.

“The more you trust the guidance you receive, the more in tune you become with your own intuition. It’s a cycle of empowerment—one that leads to greater understanding, peace, and direction in all areas of life.”
