Omnia quest

The way of the priestess, steeped in ancient traditions and magic, often conjures images of grand ceremonies or guiding large communities. The thought of hosting a significant ritual or leading powerful peers can feel as overwhelming as it is improbable in our daily lives – especially for those of us juggling full-time jobs, families, and homes, without a true, tangible ritual community nearby.

Despite this apparent lack of outward engagement, I felt Her with me every step of the way. I could speak to Her, asking for help when needed. In my meditations and ritual practice, I effortlessly called upon my priestess self, becoming her with increasing ease. I could even celebrate and hold sacred space in that profound solitude.

And yet, here I am, in a country where the old ways are barely remembered, rarely respected, or taught. Last year, after years of solitary study and practice, I became a priestess of the Goddess. My initiations were online, an ocean away, yet they felt as real and powerful as if I were physically present. Days after completing my courses, I wondered what to do with this newfound knowledge and profound closeness to Her. I envisioned starting a project, a space to host rituals, offer healing sessions, or guide rites of passage, as people seemed to expect. But no one came; days turned into weeks, and no defined space or schedule materialized.

Discovering how this worked was an immense blessing. It gave me the confidence to move at my own pace, and in that process, I realized the great importance of sharing one’s gifts and dedicating one’s life to service. Slowly, people began to approach. I started offering healing sessions, oracle readings, and even death ceremonies, every now and then.

But most of the time, I lived my normal life, maintaining the same routine, job, and family I had before becoming a priestess. Often, a feeling of dissociation lingered. My soul’s deepest need has always been to integrate my everyday self with my spiritual being. So, I began to work on it. I didn’t start wearing ritual outfits to the office, but I frequently call upon my priestess self to be present during my weekdays. She’s there when I offer compassionate listening, even if unspoken. I embody my priestess self when I help people feel better, with or without the aid of science. I am a priestess while speaking at a conference, or simply when I’m getting wet in the rain. I am a priestess while working or washing dishes, because the Goddess resides within my heart. The grand, ceremonious expectation many people hold when starting on the path of the priestess isn’t the simple, soul-touching reality. It’s not about embroidered robes or ornate headpieces; instead, it’s a sacred work embodied every single minute.

Being close, finding Her in everything around me, and working with the Goddess has been a deeply personal and joyful challenge. She has shown me that if you are a priestess, you simply are. You are at Her service, every single minute, for the rest of your life, always close to Her.

Through this journey with divinity , I’ve learned that true priesthood isn’t about grand stages, but about embracing the sacred in every moment. With these words, I extend my blessings as a priestess to you all, wishing you the very best on your own paths.
