For me, being a Priestess is about presence. It is about being present to others inside and outside of circles and spiritual communities. The capacity to do that comes from being present to ourselves first, as vessels of Goddess. Priestess is a verb denoting action even in stillness because Goddess is everchanging. Years ago, when I embarked upon this path, I was a solitary traveler like many are today. At that time there weren't many accessible historic records and books, or experienced teachers to learn from...to travel with. Today, I think there may be too many options. I know that can be a controversial statement and it isn't intended to be divisive. It just means that like Goddess, things are everchanging. 

      There is a Priestess Path for solitary travelers. And for some of us, over time we evolve into community or temple practitioners. What I love about the work is being a resource and an encouraging voice for others as they find or make their way. Learning presence is important regardless of our life journeys. it takes practice. There are clues in those historic records as well as current trends. And for me, being present means I continue to learn and grow alongside those who share my journey.
