A Spiritual Tradition rooted in the lost earth priestess arts of the Mediterranean.
I am here to help you remember what our ancestors always knew: the healing, grounding, and joy that comes from a deep relationship with land spirits.
Priestess, Guide, Author
I’m Elyse Welles, bestselling author of "Sacred Wild" and the only native Greek Priestess teaching the lost earth priestess arts of the Mediterranean: what I call the path of the Sacred Wild.
Through Seeking Numina, I help spiritual seekers like you reconnect with ancient ways of living in harmony with the land, the elements, and the spirit world.
My lineage traces back to the Melissae and Maenads—earth priestesses of Greece who communed with bee, drum, and earth. I carry forward their rhythms, their rites, and their deep knowing that we are never separate from nature.
I have a masters degree in spiritual studies. I’ve studied at sacred sites like Delphi and Eleusis, and received initiations in the Faery Tradition of witchcraft. I have been published in countless magazines and anthologies and written two books to help others reclaim their own ancestral wisdom.
If you’re feeling the call to remember your place in the living world, to step into sacred leadership, and to root into a path of embodied magic—then you’re in the right place.
The Feminine Wound shapes how we speak, love, set boundaries, and trust ourselves.
In this transformative, free masterclass, we explore the four core wounds carried by the modern feminine and the ancient Greek goddesses—Artemis, Hekate, Hera, and Aphrodite—who guide us back to our power.
Releases November 8, 2025.
A practical and spiritual guide to working with nature spirits, this book is your doorway to ancestral ways of living in harmony with the land.
Published by Llewellyn Worldwide and featuring a foreword by Amy Blackthorn, this sacred work bridges ancient wisdom with modern soul.

Words from the Ones Who Have Walked the Path
Elyse makes me feel so safe regarding incorporating magic into my life. This podcast was my intro to witchcraft and it has made my life so much richer. I take the time to notice nature, the land and where I am in the world.
I have been a natural wiccan my whole life, but I was really awakened this past year or so. I found the Magick Kitchen Podcast and started going through all the episodes and I discovered that I really do have the power and magic inside me. It has helped me develop so much. The special guests are so interesting and I really am jealous of you Elise for following your dream of sharing the magic of Greece and the general realm. I.love your youtube videos and have really learned a lot. So thank you!!
My tarot reading was a Mothers Day gift. Lovely reading and spot on. Elyse had no idea how accurate she was until after the reading was completed. I look forward to having another reading in the future.
Elyse's tarot readings are kind, gentle, individual and relatable. She's happy for questions and discussion. It all feels very personal and relevant. Recommended!
Since taking this class, It’s helped open my horizons to new ideas and ways of practice... I was able to find connections and synchronicities in my everyday life comparable to old Greek ways of living. This exponentially opened my eyes to show that we are the magic and commonly perform it without realizing. I’ve since improved in my ancestral work through taking these ideas and keeping them alive in intentional acts.
As part of the magical living community as well as a podcast listener I just appreciate the variety of perspective and openness we receive. I feel so valued in our community.
My practice has always been very up and down based on how busy life is at any given time. This community and the resources you provide along with the Magick Kitchen podcast has given helpful tips and journaling prompts for even the busiest of times so that I can still actively participate in the craft. Thank you so much!
I feel genuine love and care coming from Elyse when I do a spiritual guidance session with her. Doing a spiritual guidance session with Elyse Is like having 10 therapy sessions in one sitting. I find so many answers in one session for myself and I’m always surprised with How prepared I am when we meet up in zoom. It says, though my guides are working together with her guides and set up the meeting for a win. Even though I am almost twice her age, her wisdom goes beyond my years and her spiritual guidance sessions are remarkable. I am so glad our paths crossed.
I really enjoy listening to Elyse’s wealth of knowledge on the Podcast and look forward to exploring other aspects of her teaching.
