My first book arrives with Llewellyn Worldwide in summer of 2025, a book about connecting with land spirits.

 

My first novel, "What the Water Remembers", a paranormal mystery empowering witches in and out of the broom closet, is coming in 2025 from Running Wild Press.

 

I was named a Best Poet of 2022 by Free Verse Revolution, and sacred poetry has appeared in dozens of anthologies including We'Moon 2025, Myth & Lore, Yellow Arrow Journal, and more.

 

I am a regular columnist for Witchology, Witch Way Magazine, and the Wild Hunt News as the Greek correspondent.

Interviews

Elyse Welles

Elyse Welles priestess of the sacred wild

​I am Elyse Welles, a third culture kid, American and Greek-Egyptian. I grew up in Amish country, Pennsylvania, as well as Bahrain in the Middle East - with a regular smattering of visits to Greece. I live in Greece now with my husband and our cats, Emma & Willy (and tend a colony of 30+ stray cats, an act of devotion to the land.)

​

I'm a full-time author, columnist, and teacher of the Sacred Wild.

​

I co-host the Magick Kitchen Podcast with Leandra Witchwood, a top 30 US Spirituality Podcast where we share magickal tips and musings for spiritual practitioners, pagans, and witches from all walks of life; on anything from shadow work to working with deity, often featuring other authors and practitioners from diverse backgrounds.

Seeking Numina: The Path of the Sacred Wild

'Numina' is Latin for 'sacred places.' This is the path for seekers and dedicates of nature. It is for those committed to uncovering the sacred places within ourselves, as well as out in the wild, beautiful world.

 

It is about honoring and integrating the wisdom, magic, and growth we find in the cycles of the Wheel of the Year and the moon, and the animistic beauty of enspirited nature.

​

It is the healing and clarity that comes with embracing wildness, when we swim in the sea, flip a rock to watch the bugs, chat with and feed the local birds, or roll down a hill.

​

It is the culmination and continuance of over a decade of training in the eclectic Faery Tradition, in which I am an initiated High Priestess. It is also the expression of my learned experience working with spirits of place and land spirits at sacred sites around the world on four continents. 

If as you're reading and exploring my site, you're thinking "WOW every single thing resonates BIG TIME, Elyse!!"
