What is a Priestess

The word Priestess can also be termed minister.In holy script all believers
inChrist are thought of as Priests and Priestess part of a royal Priesthood
They are ambassadors
A Priestess is an Ambassador of the Goddess, what does this mean?
The Priestess is the representative of the Goddess on earth. She has responsibility for performing functions that ensure fertility and creation. In ancient times, Priestesses were responsible for insuring the rain, for the Goddess Herself was the giver of the dew and the rain. It is said the the Priestesses of Isis could control the rain by braiding and unbraiding their hair. In many cultures these women . were responsible to serve a sacred flame. This flame was the embodiment of the chi, or the creative spark of life that flows from the Goddess and through each one of us.

The Priestess is the embodiment of the Great Goddess herself. This Goddess is manifested as Isis (Egyptian), Kuan Yin (Chinese), Mary (Christian), Artemis (Greek),.Morrigan(Celtic) and in many other guises in many other cultures. The Great Goddess is all-knowing and all-wise. She is the Creatress and Life-giver. She also is the bringer of death so that the true spark of life, or spirit, may continue on in other forms. The Priestess embodies these principles. She is the reminder that we all have this innate wisdom within us, and she demands that we connect to it and bring this wisdom into the world. The Priestess speaks for the Goddess, works for the Goddess and uses her life to bring honor to the name of the Goddess. The Goddess is first and foremost in her mind, before family, friends, job and all else. She knows she is the Goddess and every choice that she makes, every meeting that she has, every word from her mouth comes from this place of inner knowing and reflects out to the world.
It is true becoming a Priestess is not as easy as a 101 class and acertificate h on the wall. Becoming a Priestess has never come this easy, nor should it. Anyone can work magick,spells, or memorize a list of colors and their attributes. Anyone can say prayers, learn the meaning of tarot cards and make potions. None of these things make up a Priestess
 Priestess training involves a change in who we are at the very depth of our being. It hitss something deep inside that changes everything we have thought about ourselves. It changes everything we have thought about others. Being a priestess allows us a larger perspective. It gives us the perspective of the Goddess .. It is rigorous, and should be. What good is a Priestess who has no self-discipline? How can one who cannot even control herself and her own natural human urges (to bust out in anger, to gossip, or become lazy, etc) teach someone else to control theirs? The spiritual path is a path of personal discipline. And in the discipline comes freedom. This is the ultimate paradox. Self-discipline brings freedom. When we are busy gossiping about someone, we are being drawn into the energy of that conversation. We are sending out bad energy to the person we are gossiping about, and in turn we are ensuring that we will have that bad energy returned to us, for what is sown shall surely be reaped....a spiritual principle. When we have overcome our urge to gossip through self-discipline, and remove ourselves from this type of situation, we set ourselves free from the energy entanglements associated with it. Thus, disciplining our urges brings release to our soul.  Self-discipline and inner knowing do not come easily. It is work, and something I am for the most part continue to working on. Thesecome from long days and years of struggling to know who we really are and to understand what it is we are here for. They come from spiritual searching and the asking of questions, from taking vows and sticking to them and from establishing a daily spiritual practice. This is waht being a Prioestess is about. This is spiritual discipline, and this is what makes us able to become representatives of the Great Goddess Herself.
