You've looked around, gained guidance from far off traditions, and know that there's sooo much to uncover through your lineage, or simply underneath your feet.
Shapeshifter invites you to discover the myths, folklore and mystic traditions of Britain, deepening your relationship with ancestral tales and living traditions from these lands through study and embodiment, so you can take these stories forward into your own life, practice and community. 

After many years exploring myth and traditions from distant shores, I found them within the land beneath my feet... stories told by my ancestors around the fire for centuries, tales that spoke of my own experiences, and beliefs rooted within the living, mythic landscape of my ancestors that resonated with me to my core.  This is where I truly found belonging.

The Invitation

You feel the call towards Britain's myths, folklore and ancestral traditions...
But there are thousands of years to unweave, and you don't know where or how to root.
I am inviting you into this world through trusted research pathways, storytelling, and a space to explore these living traditions through the original sources.
Here, you are held. This is a community of re-enchantment. Shapeshifter is an invitation to move from searching to belonging, discovering the magic of lineage, land and myth through story, study and embodiment.

I'M READY TO ROOT

This is for you if..

  • You're ready to become more than a student of Britain's wisdom traditions. You want to become someone who carries, lives and passes on the myths, lore and animist teachings of these lands through your own life, practice and community.
  • You are seeking cultural grounding or ancestral connection.
  • You want to become a transmitter, not just a receiver, of these wisdom traditions. A steward of myth and lore.
  • You want real historical sources, you're fed up of misinformation and romanticisation.
  • You're willing to look at the blending of Paganism and Christianity upon these isles.
Stella's work welcomes anyone called to explore the mythic traditions of Britain. This work is rooted in relationship rather than ownership, exploring how stories, mythic landscapes, spiritual belief and traditions continue to evolve through time.

Meet your Guide

Hey! I'm Stella. I'm an artist, storyteller and your guide into the ancient mysteries of Britain.
Aside from being a vessel for the divine muse of Earth, I'm currently completing a Master's Degree in Illustration and Animation, with a practice-based research project exploring animistic relationships with landscape through her local river valley.
For over 9 years, I've been researching the mythic and mystic traditions of Wales and Britain to connect & find belonging within my Welsh & English heritage.
This endeavour began when I tapped into the grief and longing for the rich, mythic culture buried within the depths of the lands suppressed historical past. 
I run a podcast, hosts in-person gatherings and events at sacred sites, and holds ceremonies where she is from in South Wales.  Over the years, I've has brought together artists, historians, folklorists and practitioners to explore these traditions from multiple perspectives.

The Fairy-Faith was coined by anthropologist and folklorist Walter Evans-Wentz, who in 1911, travelled the furthest parts of the Celtic world to talk to the oldest people about real living faery accounts, alongside Walter there are many other folklorists collecting these tales and beliefs. This is the tradition you are stepping into today... alongside exploring ancient myths that were told long before we had a written language upon these lands.
