Elen of the Ways is the musical creation of Dorset-born folk artist and visual storyteller Hannah Read. Weaving together threads of the mystical, the earthly, and the deeply human, her music invites listeners on a journey of remembrance — a return to nature, to spirit, and to the ancient rhythms that connect all living things.

Guided by her work as a visual artist and environmental advocate, Hannah’s songs move beyond performance into acts of healing and activation. Each note, word, and frequency is an offering — a reminder of our shared capacity to transform, to root, and to rise through creativity.

Drawing inspiration from the wild landscapes of the British Isles and artists such as This Is The Kit and Nick Mulvey as well as musical wisdom keepers of other lands such as Rising Appalachia, and Fia. Elen of the Ways blends earthy folk textures with ethereal vocals and poetic lyricism. The result is music that feels timeless yet intimate — a call back to the magic of life and the wisdom encoded in the natural world.

Through her art, Elen of the Ways holds space for reconnection and awakening, reminding us that music, like nature, is both a mirror and a guide. Her work speaks to those who seek meaning in the unseen, solace in the land, and renewal through creative expression.
