Our Mission
Since the beginning of time, humans have marked moments of intention through symbolic acts: lighting a candle, offering a prayer, placing a ring, making a wish. These gestures are not empty traditions, but quiet technologies of the mind- ways we focus energy, embody belief, and give form to the unseen.
We believe the power we often look for outside ourselves has always been within us. The ability to bless, to cleanse, to transform and to create meaning through intention, is not reserved for a chosen few. It is innate. It is practiced daily, in subtle and unspoken ways, woven into our habits, our environments, and the way we tend to our lives.
Wild Divine Alchemy exists to bring that awareness to the surface- to make the invisible visible, and the intuitive tangible. We create tools and experiences that help individuals recognize and refine their own natural sensitivities, reconnecting them to a sense of agency, clarity, and inner magic.
We believe that when these individual gifts are shared and when intention is amplified through community, the impact deepens. What begins as a personal practice becomes something collective, expansive, and alive.
Our mission is to normalize the extraordinary that already exists within you, and to remind you that the ritual, the power, and the magic have always been yours.
xoxo Stella and Rhea
Meet Stella
Stella was born to a California anarchist Pagan mother who took her fairy hunting in the Redwoods, made costumes for Renaissance fairs, and lived largely off-grid while practicing herbal magic.
Recognizing Stella’s intuitive sensitivity early on, her mother trained her through daily visualizations and small psychic exercises. At the same time, Stella experienced intense nightly terrors and sleep paralysis, which led her Mother to guide her through practices that helped - lucid dreaming, talisman work, and astral projection - not as escape, but as a way to move through altered states with awareness.
Stella was also raised for a period within a hyper religious Catholic environment on her father’s side. Ironically, the structure and ritual of that side of her upbringing deepened her discipline and shaped her approach to intentional practice.
Over time, Stella came to reinterpret her early experiences not as chaos, but as training. By reconnecting with what she once dismissed, she recognized that the sense of everyday magic had never left her. She has since continued to study and refine her craft.
Meet Rhea
Rhea began studying the craft at the age of eleven, guided by an early understanding that intention, when anchored to physical form, has the power to move from the unseen into the tangible world. This foundational belief continues to shape her work across disciplines.
She is an artist known for her embodied painting technique- an immersive, performative process that integrates movement, ritual, and presence. Her practice extends beyond the canvas into ceremonial work, where she engages with fire as both medium and guide, leading fire ceremonies that center transformation, clarity, and intention.
Alongside her artistic practice, Rhea is a certified life coach, NLP, and wellness practitioner. Her work is rooted in a deep belief in the power of the mind- its ability to shape perception, influence experience, and direct energy. Through ritual, she bridges this understanding, offering a way to externalize intention and make it active, lived, and real.
Rhea’s work invites others to recognize their own capacity to create meaning and transformation, and to engage with ritual not as something distant or esoteric, but as a natural extension of the human experience.
Our Story
Rhea and Stella’s connection has always felt almost improbably aligned.
They met nearly a decade ago and quickly discovered they were both reading Women Who Run With the Wolves- on the exact same page. At the time, they were each dating men who turned out to be cousins, an early sign that their lives were already quietly intertwined.
Years earlier, an apartment fire had displaced Rhea from Williamsburg and led her to Bushwick, where she met the partner she was dating at the time and began working more deeply with fire as a medium. Only later did she learn that the business responsible for that fire was connected to Stella’s partner- an unexpected thread tying their paths together long before they consciously crossed.
Years later, while Stella was pregnant, Rhea was invited to lead a surprise fire ceremony honoring the unborn child. It was only afterward that she realized the ceremony was for a life connected to the very lineage that had once, indirectly, led her to the flame.
Not long after, Stella gifted Rhea a manifestation bath soak for her birthday. During the ritual, Rhea entered a deep meditative state, and the vision for Wild Divine Alchemy emerged- clear, complete, and unmistakably shared. It felt less like a personal idea and more like something waiting to be received.
Within days, Wild Divine Alchemy was born.
