The Sacred Wild is Calling You
Join our upcoming container and become a Priestess of the Sacred Wild.

What is the Sacred Wild?
The Sacred Wild lives within each of us. It surrounds us all. It is the primal nature of, well, nature, that we in our modern world have been shifted further and further away from.
The Priestess once was held in high esteem for her knowing and connection to nature that reigned supreme. But today, the divine feminine is under attack. Patriarchy, like a stampede, has sought to destroy the divine feminine, just as it destroys nature.
This hubris, the arrogant pride that has led our society towards extreme misalignment with our primal nature, is one side of the scale. But on the other side? This is where you’ll find the priestesses of the Sacred Wild. We are being awakened to tip the balance and revive the ancient earth priestess arts of our ancestors. We are being called by the land spirits, plant allies, and more to step up and make a difference.
Women and femmes under patriarchy are denied our primal connection to our nature. We are taught from a young age to be seen and not heard. To be just enough, but not too much. To be pretty, but not slutty. We are damned if we do and damned if we don’t at all turns in patriarchal society. This puts constraints on our actions, and therefore our feelings, and therefore our own perceptions of our own power.
This is by design. Because we are too powerful for the patriarchy to control if we are in our full expression of our Sacred Wild.
The Sacred Wild is our divine rage: the primal scream of childbirth, the ancient wail of grief, the howl on the full moon that begins as a release, and ends as inspiration for change.
The Sacred Wild is our intuition: it's the part of us that knows things. It's our gut feelings, our instincts, and our connection to the divine – the divine we find in our spirit guides, goddesses, and cosmic connections, but also through nature itself. That’s the secret you’ll learn in this container: all of that flows up through the earth and into us. We are expressions of nature and divinity no different from the trees and crows we adore.
That is the Sacred Wild – the deep acknowledgment that we are part of nature, and that primal connection does not have to stay lost. And when we bring that into our lives, yes into our mundane lives, this work will change your life.

Meet your facilitator
I’m Elyse Welles, your facilitator and guide to the Sacred Wild. My book, ‘Sacred Wild: An Invitation to Connect with Spirits of the Land’ is a top new release arriving in November with Llewellyn Worldwide Publishing.
I am an ancestral Priestess of the land in Greece. My family are from Arcadia, the wilds of the Greek mountains, where for millenia we have danced with Pan and anointed ourselves in the sacred waters of the rivers and springs that form the veins of life in the Peloponnese mountains. I am descended from nymphs: and have received their wisdom in sacred travel to many numina (places of divine power) across the lands of Greece.
I am also an initiated High Priestess in the eclectic Faery Tradition of witchcraft. The way I practice it, we work with agender nature energy. We are not focused on male-female heterosexual fertility like some witchcraft forms are. The eclectic Faery Tradition (not to be confused with other forms of Faery Tradition you might find in a google search) is a form of witchcraft that is land spirits-based. I am the fifth generation in my lineage.
I have studied the frame drum with local Greek priestesses, as well as Miranda Rondeau, who was taught by Layne Redmond, author of ‘When the Drummers Were Women.’
And my masters degree, an MLSt personal studies program, focused strongly on spiritual studies and the modern history of universal syncretism in Western spiritual practices. You won’t find appropriation here.

What It Feels Like to Do Ritual with the Sacred Wild

Imagine knowing the wind is blowing for you and you alone, participating in your rituals, witnessing your magic.
The clouds look heavy, but you know the rain will wait for you to go inside before it blesses your garden with its gentle caresses.
You walk past an old tree and feel it beckon to you, so you stop and take time to place your hands on it and breathe together.
These are practices that sound, look, and maybe even feel simple. But they are profound.
This is not a stuffy, formal, rigid tradition you are joining. It is one of ecstasy and joy made manifest.
