The way of the Priestess, the path of Morgana Aphrodite
This is a visionary piece – what would morning prayer as a priestess of Avalon have looked like hundreds of years ago? The silver bells of Avalon chime: it is just before dawn, and as a Priestess of the Isle you are called to prayer. You awake from your soft lavender-scented bed and wrap your […]
Many of us are drawn the beautiful grecian goddess of love, lust and desire are called to learn how to worship Aphrodite. She sings to us from the sea and her siren call asks us to honour her, to seek her out, to revel in her energy. But how do we do this? Where do […]
The 5 Temple Arts of a Love Goddess The great goddesses of love hold the secrets of life, fertility, beauty and abundance – golden Aphrodite, beautiful Oshun, sweet Hathor, bold Ishtar… and once upon a time their temples held hundreds of priestesses trained in their service. But what skills would an ancient priestess of the […]
There seems to be two sides to Avalon shenanigans in the modern new-age/pagan world. Sometimes it looks like Christianity vs the Goddess. One side is very firmly pre-Christian, working with the welsh myths and what we know of the druids and connecting with the goddess to re-weave a modern story of Avalon… … and the […]
Here’s the ONE THING I really want you to understand as a priestess entrepreneur to be able to do your work and service from a sacred lens. IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU. Your work is not YOUR work. You are a VESSEL for your work – you are the conduit through which this particular brand of healing enters the […]
So a key thing about spirituality is that the world we have grown up in has done its best to convince us that spirituality needs to be kind of harsh and strict and very punishing. Even if we are not directly involved in the Judeo-Christian world and didn’t grow up in a religious house (I […]
Back in the pre-Covid times, I used to run a monthly women’s circle in my home town of Cambridge UK. Almost every month we would come together, share our stories and experiences, drink herbal tea and reflect and make ritual around our lives. (This would usually be punctuated by the the happy accordion and bells […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about who gets to call themselves a priestess. In established religions the priests (there are no priestesses) have to train at a seminary and do a lot of serious theologic book study. They train in a school, get sent off on work experience and then set free into the world […]
I KNOW you want to have a badass daily spiritual practice. You want to rock out those witchy goals, feel connected to the Goddess, have the Divine in your corner always, feel calm and collected and like an EXCELLENT functioning human being instead of a shambling mess who feels confused and irritated because you missed […]
So the central question of my work right now is: how can I align deeper with the priestess archetype and be more of a rockstar priestess in the world? I was always naturally good at is the Gryffindor-style Priestess stuff – the running blindly forth, taking action and taking names, being daring, trying things, making […]
Time and time again, my work with Venus brings me back to what is important. And the most important thing we have in our lives are our relationships. I don’t mean this bullshit patriarchal fairytale where the only relationship of value and meaning is the one you have with a romantic partner. I mean our […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be worthy of something… and how crippling it is to feel unworthy and undeserving. See, I’ve always struggled with this. Secretly I have felt unworthy at everything I do, and every success is always tempered a little bit with that nasty little whisper of “but […]
Do you know what interests me? Astrology. One day I am going to learn it proper, but for now I am satisfied from cribbing off the internet. Since we are having a Venus week, I wanted to talk about Venus in astrology: Particularly, the zodiac signs ruled by Venus. In astrology, every sign is ruled […]
Something not many people know is that Venus is a wonderful deity to work with regarding money. She is the goddess of abundance and luxury after all! I find that when we work with Venus for money, she really works deeply with our attitude towards money, and makes huge transformations in our lives from that […]
Once upon a time, not too long ago in the autumn of 2016, I felt like my life was… well, pretty grey and and shitty and rock bottomy, to be honest. I’d broken up with the man I had thought was the love of my life, and was living in my mum’s tiny spare bedroom in […]
So something I often ask people to do in my courses is to ask people to create Sacred Space ready to perform a ritual. But what do I mean by Sacred Space? And how can you do that? Here is my guide to making Sacred Space. The point of sacred space is to create a […]
Gorgeous folks, I know most of us are incredible priestesses, inspired witches, part-time mystics and powerful women tuned into the magical undercurrent of life – and I also know that many of us are also businessfolks and entrepreneurs, running practices as nutritionists and herbalists, copywriters, authors, dance studio owners, vintage clothes shops, instagram experts, jewellers, […]
One thing that Venus has really taught me is how to have fun. I feel that shouldn’t be something you have to teach a twenty-something. By the look of it, we are all off partying at festivals all the time, going out clubbing, that sort of thing. (Here’s a secret – I have never been […]
There is a whole side of my life I am developing and would love to share with you. It’s my Business Witch side; the part that is dedicated to merging my priestess practice and venusian, witchy sensibilities with the adventure of being self employed and running a biz (or two, or three: I’m self employed full-time […]
Beltaine is Comine! One of the two most important holidays on the Celtic Wheel of the Year (celebrating the all important sex and death), Beltaine lands on May 1st every year and is the festival of fertility, sex, of loving life, joy, and of love. It’s kind of like witches’ Valentines, only more fun and […]
