Primal, Practical, Priestess College
Remembering the Primal MedicineWithin
We begin our Priestess College with an understanding of what a Priestess means to us at the very core. We explore the root of what is deeply needed by the local community and extend that to the global community.
What is witnessed, is an intrinsic need for connection, for the sacred to meet the profane, for the willingness to hold, release, devour, and restore.
Our versatile Goddess Temple Community holds many talents, levels of experience, and a profound desire to grow. These tenants of truth have been gestating for over two decades, and it is time to birth even more of our visions into form.
Each year we hold an enriching school that walks the Path of Sacred Living through the 9 Veils of Womyn, plus our Beltane, Lammas, Samhain, & Imbolc Community Celebrations.
Priestess College is an

A Keening Ceremony with an altar built of offerings that include photos, sentimental items, candles, and more to honor loved who have Crossed Over, gives a safe space to grieve. A ceremonial Fire burns what needs to die. Three Priestesses are chosen to embody Ancestor Guides to give oracular readings to temple visitors. The Wyld Wytch cackles, Hecate’s lantern dance lights our way out of the darkness and retrieves hope that has been lost in the shadows.

She visits the village hearths and leaves her footprint in the ashes, and as Goddess of the Sacred Flame, Healing Springs, Poetry, the Forge, and Fertile Earth, this great goddess manifests endurance in you. All these qualities reflect the lifelong vows you will speak upon your Dedication to the Goddess as Midwife of the Veils, and to walk the Path of Sacred Living. The Goddess Temple of Ashland is at the sacred backmeadow of the WellSprings, home of warm sulfur springs, which is also known as FireWater! Her water is here!
***At each Priestess College Session, there will be an optional Dedication Ceremony, where you will speak your vows as Priestess of the Goddess, name the Veils you will commit to and how you will continue your education. There will also be a Sacred Ink Ceremony (optional) with a Druid Ogham finger tattoo of the Tree that is specifically linked to the Holy Day of that PC Session. This ancient symbol will seal your sacred lifetime vows and your commitment to send you out into the world to create your own practical Priestess creation, as a way of life to uplift humanity and bridge prosperity into your heart and home!
