About Eleni
My history is magic, my lineages long and golden. The trees, plants, ancestors, spirits, elemental beings, and the moon are my friends and have guided me always.
Leading me along my path with all their beauty, behind the skirts of the Divine Mother Great Goddess.
My ancestors’ healing words and my great-grandmother’s dreams have led me here. I aim to make them proud.
Born from a (Greek) father who was a storyteller & vision seer, and a (Scottish/ Irish/ German) mother who is an artist and listener of plants…
I’m a 3rd generation California native.
I currently live in Occidental Ca. (Coast Miwok/ Pomo land) In the redwoods of Sonoma County.
I grew up in Santa Monica (Tongva land) and in Ojai (Chumash land) and have been in Northern California half my life.
Since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated with energy, folklore, folk magic, herbalism, divination, superstition, magical systems, history of the first peoples, women’s spirituality, ancestral healing, ethnobotany…
I received my first divinatory kit at age 12- The Rune Stones and even though I had No idea what to do with them… I felt the magic!
I’m in love with the magic and “coincidences” in life. That electric feeling that you are on to something or something you wish for is on to you. It’s like a remembering in your bones that echoes out so loud and so bright that you have to pay attention.
This is what happened when I was “tagged” and chosen by the Wedeme and the Ancestors to become a Diviner.
It was like every echo and every tool I have gathered was preparing me for this path and the Wedeme and my Ancestors were cheering me on!
After 4 years of lots of rituals, tons of offerings and divinations with my mentor Theresa Dintino, I was initiated into the path of a Stick Diviner.
When not divining you can find me curating classes for the Sonoma County Herb Association, making art and herbal concoctions, nerding out on ancient history, folklore and magical systems and spending time with my cute family.
In the Spring/Summer I travel to Greece and love spending time in my ancestral villages collecting recipes, herbal remedies and spells and spending time with my elders.
