This week I was featured in Temple Echoes magazine following my ordination as a Ritual Ceremonial Priestess and becoming the first international Temple Guide Teacher within the lineage.
And whilst I felt deeply honoured, what moved me most wasn’t the recognition.
It was seeing my teacher’s words reflect back just how much my understanding of what it means to be a Priestess has changed.
🕯️The woman who wanted to hold ceremony.
🕸️And the woman who wanted to build something bigger than the walls of the temple.
The Priestess.
And the Coach.
The ritual.
And the business.
I think for a long time I carried a story that one was somehow more sacred than the other.
That the deeper work happened in ceremony.
That visibility, leadership, business and being known somehow belonged to a different world.
What I’ve come to realise is that priestesshood was never the retreat from leadership.
It was the preparation for it.
The women who came before us didn’t remember the mysteries so they could keep them hidden.
They carried them into their communities.
Into their families.
Into the places they were most needed.
And I think that’s our role too.
Not simply to remember.
But to embody.
Not simply to hold ritual.
But to see everyday life as the ritual.
Not simply to tend the temple.
But to carry the temple into the world🌹
This season of my life feels less about choosing between parts of myself, and more about allowing them to finally walk hand in hand.
Gratitude and love always to my incredible teachers Elsa Perez Dean and Elayne Kalila Doughty Priestess Presence Temple & School of the Sacred Arts for holding me deeply on this initiatory path and for entrusting me to steward the temple guide training down under.
