🌿 Welcome to The Rustic Elk

Where ancestral skills, wild food, and grounded ritual meet the untamed rhythm of real life.
I’m Elle.
Once a homesteading mom tangled in purity culture and fear-based obedience. Now? A rewilded woman, a kitchen witch, a guide for women remembering who they are... before the world told them how to behave.
This space is for you if you've ever:
- Stirred a pot and felt it was a spell
- Raged against the lie that submission is holy
- Found yourself more alive in the woods than in a church pew
- Wanted to ditch the curated bullshit for something that actually works
You're not here for fluff, perfection, or performance.
You're here to feed your people, claim your power, and preserve what matters.

🔮 What You’ll Find Here
This isn’t a tradwife fantasy or Pinterest-perfect farmstead.
It’s feral, practical magic, with dirt under the nails and bones in the broth.
🥩 Feral Kitchen - Venison, from-scratch meals, sacred food traditions.
🌾 Harvest to Jar - Canning, fermentation, and preservation with intention.
🌿 Wild + Foraged - Plants, herbs, and primal nourishment.
🧪 Apothecary + Alchemy - Remedies, herbal lore, and kitchen witchcraft.
🧭 Magick + Witchcraft - Green Witchcraft, Kitchen Magic, Rituals + Sabbats.
🔥 From the Hearth + Hollow - Explore offerings that nourish your practice, your pantry, and your path.
Who This is For
This space is for you if...
✔ You eat wild food because it's real, not because it’s fashionable.
✔ You make things from scratch—and know when to grab the shortcut and the bourbon.
✔ You’ve outgrown the Pinterest pantry, the prepper cults, and the tradwife timeline.
✔ You crave a life rooted in ancestral wisdom, kitchen ritual, and unapologetic fire.
If you've ever stirred a pot like it was a spell... you're home.
