In this episode, it was wonderful to speak with my friend and fellow Priestess, Elyse Welles. Elyse is a Witch, sacred travel leader, and the author behind Seeking Numina. Elyse is also the co-host of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, a top spirituality podcast where she shares wisdom on Witchcraft, ritual, and more.

In today's episode, we talked about the act of pilgrimage to ancient sites in Greece, divination, and devotional relationships with Land spirits and Gods. Elyse travels widely, and her experiences helping others seek connection to Spirit made for an excellent conversation.

After this episode was recorded back in April, Elyse and I also spent 10 days in Greece together, researching and visiting oracular sites dedicated to Apollo and Zeus. If you'd like to hear our discussion of that trip on Elyse's Seeking Numina show (recorded at Dodona, under the sacred Oak of Zeus) you can click the link in the show notes!
