Elise is a card reader, craniosacral therapist, practicing witch and creator of The Blood & Ink Tarot. Her magical practice, rooted in traditional witchcraft focusses on personal sovereignty coupled with an evolving relationship with land and spirit.
Drawing on her interest in the intersections of holistic healing modalities, the cunning tradition, witchcraft and expanded states of consciousness; she is currently producing a body of work on her research and magical journey over the past 7 years with Gloucestershire cunning woman Ellen Hayward (d 1911), one of the last women in Gloucestershire to be tried for witchcraft.
Elise’s witchcraft, largely solitary & spirit based, has evolved through her experience as therapist. She is guided by her work with Hekate, her connection to the chthonic currents of the British landscape and a deep reverence for those who have come before. She teaches on the tarot and designs individual bespoke rituals for transformation and empowerment. As a craftsperson, she makes small batch flying ointments and salves, has experimented with handbuilt ceramic scrying bowls and other ceremonial items.
