The Lost Magic of Ancient Greece | Priestesses, Deities & Sacred Land

In this episode of Embracing Magick, Steph and Lizzy are joined by author and initiated Greek priestess Elyse Welles for a fascinating conversation about ancient Greek spirituality, sacred land, deities and what it means to reconnect with practices and knowledge that have existed for thousands of years.

Elyse shares her experiences of initiation, working with spirits of place and the Greek gods, encounters at sacred sites, the relationship between witchcraft and the land, and some extraordinary personal experiences along the way - including the moment she felt a dragon step onto her chest.

We explore what the ancient world can teach modern witches, the ways the land communicates with us, forgotten priestess traditions, sacred places and why these old relationships with the natural world may still have something important to teach us today.

A huge thank you to Elyse for coming on Embracing Magick and sharing her knowledge, stories and experiences so openly with us. 🖤
