Is this you?

You wish to reclaim the spiritual traditions of land and lineage, rather than from distant-cultures, but...

 

There are thousands of years to unweave, and there is so much to uncover, so it feels overwhelming. You don't know where, or how to root and seek grounded applications. 

"I have spent many years looking into different paths, but always as an observer. Always felt something was incomplete."
 
"Been longing and wondering.. struggling to sort out old ways and colonial bs"
 

You are ready to invite the wisdom of these isles into your spiritual or creative practices, as an individual, community leader or artist.

Here, we balance study, creativity and embodiment.

The Seasonal Cycle

Each season spans three months, with two/three live sessions every month.

Live Session 01: The Mythic Spiral — A teaching session with Stella, and lessons with guest teachers.

Live Session 02: The Bardic Fire — A community gathering and circle for sharing, discussion, questions, art, music, poetry & more.

The Monthly Pathway

The Mythic Spiral

Three pillars spiral through each season. In each live session, Stella illuminates the path and shares teachings, sometimes with a guest teacher, leaving you to follow your own threads of learning, with embodied prompts and practices to take you deeper.

1st Spiral

Enchanted Ecology

Meeting the more-than-human · How the people of Britain related to the wild · Tree lore · Sacred waters · Animal lore and totems · The sovereign land.

2nd Spiral

Oral Cultures

The Bardic craft of divine inspiration and sacred breath · The seer-storyteller · Languages of Britain · Folktales, folklore, songs, sacred-sounds, myths, and poetic traditions.

3rd Spiral

Otherworld 

Your inner realms · Personal myths · Re-writing the stories you carry, shape-shifting into new versions of self · Re-writing the underlying stories and myths of culture.

Seasonally

Lore of the Season

Each season, before each of the sacred seasonal festivals, Stella records a teaching on the coming solstice, equinox or celestial midpoint, sharing the history, the modern practices, and the misconceptions. You are prompted to find out about the folklore and customs of this season yourself, whether localised or across the lands.

Clarity

What this is & What this is Not

 

Here, the only core principle that we all share is that of honouring the Earth, eachother, and rooting into ancestral and land-based traditions and pathways. This is a space for you to create a living record of the ancestral and land-based spiritual pathways of Britain,  rooted in the animist world-view. There is no dogmatic path to follow here. You follow your own threads, guided by original sources, teachings, and a living community.

This is

A centre for study and spiritual practice, rooted in Ecological and Ancestral belonging, for the modern world. Here, the knowledge is found through exploring the original historical sources, whilst receiving guidance through lived experience and following your personal callings.

This is not

Claiming to fully know the beliefs of the past or joining an ancient tradition. This is not a prescribed spiritual path. We aim to avoid romanticisation, appropriation or misinformation, and to build new stories where old ones are not found.

Is this for you?

The Call

 

This is for you if

  • You are of British descent, Cornish, English or Welsh, whether on ancestral lands or in the diaspora

  • Or, you live on the land and wish to discover what's beneath your feed

  • You are a community leader, facilitator or creative

  • You are fed up of misinformation, you want real historical sources and tradition

  • You've looked outward towards foreign traditions and seek wisdom from home

  • You learn through study and embodiment

  • You are willing to discover and research yourself alongside guidance

  • You wish to build a sacred record (Deep Map) to inform your individual practice, or wider community

Do you host in-person events?

Caer Sidi isn't all online.


The most important thing we can do alongside reclamation of knowledge, is gather in person. Inside of Caer Siddi, members can share and promote in-person events, where a list of gatherings, ceremonies, and circles around the sacred pathways of Britain are promoted, both inside of Caer Siddi and in Stella's monthly newsletter, that will soon turn into a webpage.

What People Say 

 

"So wonderful to celebrate this time — a real celebration over multiple days, more than a five-minute fancy, deep ceremony, deep reverence in community, people you're seeing every day, honouring and celebrating."

- Alys, Mystic Cave, Samhain 2025

"I stumbled upon you at a time when I have been getting a powerful urge to connect with my British roots. I spent many years looking into different paths, but always as an observer. Always felt something was incomplete."

- Violetmoon751, YouTube

"Tonight's call was deeply moving and enlivening in ways still integrating but clearly impactful."

— Abigail, Taliesin's Awakening

"I am absolutely enraptured and this feels like home. Thank you so much for bringing this course to us!"

— Mystic Cave member, Samhain 2024

"Coming home to our ancestral lands can indeed simultaneously happen inside of us and wherever we are situated on Mother Earth."

— Mystic Cave member, Beltane 2025

"I joined to connect with my ancestral heritage, so much seems lost and hidden. I wanted to know who I was and to deepen into this through knowledge and embodiment." 

- Helen, Awen Awakens, Feb 2026

 Meet your guide 

 

Today, I'm a facilitator, speaker, storyteller and podcast host, though In 2018 I was preaching 'mother earth connection' while my practices were disconnected from my own ancestry, land and culture.

I was born and brought up in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, with ancestors from England, Wales and beyond, and I currently live in the valleys as an artist, storyteller and facilitator. As a child my family owned a vegan health-food shop, and in my late teens I ran a wholesale crystal business, cleansing with foreign herbs, inspired by spiritual traditions not of my lineage. Then I found a book on Celtic art in my university library and everything changed.

This endeavour into my own heritage began when I tapped into my grief and longing for the rich, mythic culture buried within the depths of my ancestors' suppressed historical past. My mam and dad both passed away before I was 25 due to suffering with mental health, now, bringing deep belonging and awe to people is my north star and greatest mission, and I have found this thorough Earth-based, ancestral spirituality.

Currently I'm pursuing a Master's Degree in Illustration and Animation, deep-mapping my local river, the River Taff, through animistic visual storytelling, researching similar traditions throughout time. This is building the foundation for Rinwen.
