Hey Team! I am designating Thursday to be Morrigan Thursdays, so I’ll banter and share a bit about my work in my Morrigan Priestess Training most Thursdays from now on.
As a starter in the course, we’ve been asked to get really clear on a couple of priestessy aspects. Namely:
What has drawn you to the path of a priestess?
Honestly I had no idea. I was always chasing a devotional way of being connected to the Goddess, even when I first got into witchcraft time at 13 years of age. I wanted to know about nature worship and the connection with the earth and the different goddesses – not just how to do a bunch of spells to get boys and good grades, but how to build up of real relationship with the Goddess, how to really feel the impact of the divine on it everyday life. It’s just something I have always wanted to be ever since I first heard the word, even if I didn’t understand how or even believe that I could do it.
I’m sure a lot of you peeps reading this relate to that.
I guess the hippy way to describe it would be “I had a calling to be a priestess,” but come on, how elitist and smarmy is that? Nah, it’s just something that’s been bugging me, nudging me, for the last five years especially. I’ve just been really interested and obsessional about all things priestessy, but completely unable to believe that it’s something I could actually do. Until the last year that is, when I realised it was my life, I was a grown ass woman and could do exactly as I pleased.
I want to be a priestess and because, and this is smarmy, I feel like to really be myself and connect with my authentic-ness and who I am really am in my soul, I need this connection, this link to the magic of the world, this dedication and surrender and acceptance of a Goddess bigger and wonderful and completely magical.
So how about you? What’s drawn you to the priestess path? I would love to hear your stories in the comments below!
Much like you, I was drawn to the priestess path because it was a feeling that stirred inside me, something I, too, cannot quite explain. The word ‘priestess’ even now brings back something ancient to the forefront of my mind and soul. I was raised Catholic, but even in high school found myself praying to the Goddess during times of crisis (the first being Artemis). I have always been fascinated by the devotional aspects of prayer and worship, particularly how it was done within temples during the Ancient times. For me, worshipping the Goddess with that level of commitment is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I Love this! Thanks for your reply! It’s funny how this priestess urge just follows you through life, isn’t it?
This is so hard to explain haha.
I was also raised catholic, went to catholic school for 8 years and went to church on Sundays, but it never fit. It didn’t give me the whole picture. Its going to sound funny, but it was after I read The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley that my world opened up. Even when I read it today I just get this feeling, this stirring like I’m being told something but I don’t know what it is. I have chosen the path of love, truth, beauty, wisdom, and light. I know I am an indigo child and I know I’m naturally “sensitive” but I don’t what to do with it. I guess what I’m getting at is I dont know if I’m being called to the path of the priestess. But I need training or help with the abilities I have. The fairy realm has always resonated with me and I want to look into this missing link I guess you could say, but I don’t know where to start. If any clarification is needed let me know, but I guess I’m asking for help. Or at least a point in the right direction, so the synchronicities will start to flow.
thank you for the post by the way 🙂
