Eligiah Thornton, Author at The Wild Hunt

Eligiah Thornton

Eligiah Thornton is a journalist, actor, poet, activist, farmer, and artist who grew up in the Appalachian Mountains. Though he has never been one for labels, one may consider him a “Green Witch”, obsessing over plants and animals since he was a child with a keen sense for empathy. When he is not interviewing local government officials or writing the story of someone who needs to be heard, he can be found making salves and tinctures from native Appalachian plants. As animals are extremely important to him, he spends most of his time running over mountains and through streams with his beloved pups, Echoes and Piper Howlywell. It is only in these moments that true inspiration strikes him and he wouldn’t have it any other way as he was born of these magical lands and he must be a steward of it.
