What if ancient temples were never meant to be monuments—but living expressions of the Goddess herself? In this episode of Seeking Numina, Elyse Welles sits down with Katinka Soetens, ceremonial priestess of the Goddess, sacred sexual priestess of Rhiannon, and director of the Path of Love Mystery School, to explore the ancient goddess temples of Malta and the mysteries they may still hold. Together, they explore the relationship between sacred landscapes and the divine, the symbolic language of our ancestors, and what happens when we approach ancient sites through lived experience rather than history alone. From the mysterious Hypogeum to the sleeping figures of Malta's temples, this conversation invites us to reconsider what our ancestors understood about the Goddess, the body, and the land—and what we might have forgotten. What if these ancient places still have something to teach us?

What if the land remembers what history tried to erase? In this episode of Seeking Numina, Elyse Welles talks with Welsh witch, occult teacher, astrologer, and devotee of Aphrodite, Bunny Gourlay, about the sacred landscapes of South Wales—and what happens when we begin to listen to a homeland differently. They explore land spirits, Welsh mythology, language, industrial landscapes, pilgrimage, the Otherworld, and the strange moment when a place stops being somewhere you visit and starts feeling like somewhere that knows you. From the valleys of South Wales to sacred Greece, this conversation asks what it means to come home to the land—and what the land might have been waiting to tell you.

What do bees, Dionysus, labyrinths, and magic have in common? In this episode of Seeking Numina, Elyse Welles sits down with witch, occultist, tarot reader, and magical educator Ivy Bromius to explore the surprisingly deep relationship between bees and the sacred. From the wild sovereignty of the hive to Dionysus, altered states, labyrinths, and the liminal spaces where magic happens, this conversation asks us to rethink what it means to work with nature rather than simply work with it as a symbol. They also explore the challenges of learning magic in an age of endless information—and why sometimes the most powerful magic can't be found online. 🐝 Learn more about Ivy Bromius: Circle Thrice Substack 🎬This episode was edited by Bree Saga: Substack | Instagram  Order my books to support me and support your connection with the land! https://www.elysewelles.com/books Subscribe to Seeking Numina with Elyse Welles on YouTube for video versions of ALL episodes sharing footage of the places and topics discussed.

What if the land is speaking… and we’ve simply forgotten how to listen? In this episode of The Sacred Places Podcast, I am joined by Jane Matthews, director of World Divination, teacher of intuitive arts, and author,  for a rich conversation exploring the Ogham, Ireland’s sacred landscape, and the spirits that dwell within it. Together, they explore the Ogham as the earliest Irish alphabet and its deep connection to trees, language, and the living land. Moving beyond symbols, this conversation invites listeners to consider what it means to listen to nature and recognize our own connection to it. From there, the episode opens into the more mysterious aspects of Ireland’s spiritual landscape — including fairy mounds, land spirits, and the unforgettable presence of the banshee.

What if your wounds are something sacred? In this episode of The Sacred Places Podcast, I am joined by Ness Bosch, author of Divine Wounds, Iberian shamaness, and founder of the Path of the Bones for a deeply reflective conversation on the divine feminine, healing, and the spiritual significance of our wounds. Together, we explore the idea that our wounds can act as pathways to connection with deity. Drawing from Ness’s work and lived experience, this episode gently reframes healing as something sacred and ongoing, rather than something to “just fix.” Through stories of working with goddesses like Medusa, Inanna, and Hera, we reflect on how the wounds of the divine often mirror our own and how those connections can guide us toward deeper understanding and transformation. The conversation also moves through the power of place, including springs and caves as sites of connection to the divine feminine, and the ways these environments hold space for both vulnerability and renewal. This episode touches on sensitive themes and is an invitation to listen with care, curiosity, and compassion for your own journey. In this episode, you’ll hear about: ✨The connection between wounds and spiritual practice ✨Working with the divine feminine and goddess archetypes ✨Sacred places like caves and springs as sites of healing ✨Personal gnosis and connecting with deity through lived experience I am so very excited to hear what you all think of this one!  Make sure to check out Ness and all her work at pathofthebones.com This episode is edited by Jordan, a cohost for the Astro Study Room.
