Sovael Sligh of Apotheca Von Coven is an artist, maker, and ritualist whose work centers on returning to the embodied wisdom of the earth. Rooted in a lineage of European magic and earth-based traditions, their practice bridges ancestral wisdom to the ever-transforming landscape of our contemporary culture.
Their offerings of plant-infused ritual sprays, altar pieces, ritual guidance, and spirit tools are crafted with deep devotion to the intelligence of sacred plants, the natural world, and the unseen forces that animate it.
They specialize in somatic, trauma-informed, and land-based therapeutic approaches. Their lived experience as a queer and trans person deeply informs their commitment to helping others find belonging within themselves and within the broader ecosystems that hold them.
Galactic Ashley helps others build resilience, move through fear, embrace differences, and create paradigm-shifting change in their lives. As a Polynesian queer artist, she is committed to supporting those navigating existential crises, the shadows of sexual abuse, and the pain of disembodiment. Over the last decade, she has offered spiritual services to individuals in transition, processing grief, finding themselves in the in-between, or undergoing profound spiritual growth.
Like her ancestors, she carries an exquisite mastery of liminal spaces, inviting each of us to consider ourselves as hybrids—on the path of no arrival in the indefinite, always becoming. This Polynesian Wayfinder’s perspective guides her practice, keeping her open, curious, inventive, and welcoming.
