Priest/ess Process
Priest/esses honor the cycles and seasons of nature, and of life. They learn from, and work, with the natural rhythms of the earth, sun, moon, and stars. They observe and value the relationships between earth and sky, nature and humanity.
In families and communities, priest/esses bring awareness to the way change affects life by creating time and space to honor life passages. They create and often officiate ceremonies that recognize the transitions of birth, puberty, a new job, the loss of a job, marriage, divorce, menopause, elderhood, and death.
Priest/esses may counsel and support others in times of crises, transition, healing, and creation. They may assist through their prayers, meditation, deep listening, or simply being present and bringing awareness and attentive witnessing to a situation.
A priest/ess brings the sacred into form by connecting to Divine energy in their creative pursuits such as dance, art, writing, music, theatre, ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations.
Deeply connected to their spirituality from the inside out, a priestess or priest may also be a member of any religion or have connection to none. They may connect to the Divine in nature just as well as in any home, church, synagogue, or temple.
A priest/ess makes a direct connection to the Divine from within and can apply it to every area of life. By LIsa Michaels
The Priest/ess Process and the Magdalene Mysteries Process are each a living intelligence expressing as an enlivening initiatory process for women and men to open to an entirely new, direct spiritual experience in which they, as initiates:
1) Embrace their own Inner Authority and Co-Creative Divinity.
2) Work with the Power of Sacred Intent.
3) Co-create Living Ceremony.
4) Self-Proclaim as a Priestess or Priest upon fulfillment of their Priest/ess Process initiatory cycle or as a High Priestess or High Priest after completing their Magdalene Mysteries School initiation process. All aspects of both Processes are facilitated according to these primary precepts.
Nicole describes her first rememberings of an ancient sect of priestesses in this 1986 flashback. “We were running through an underground tunnel carrying scrolls under our arms. Invaders hostile to the teachings of the Goddess were destroying the Temple and we were fleeing with as many recorded mysteries as we each could carry. As we ran, we vowed that the teachings would not be lost and alchemically encoded the contents of each scroll we carried into our genetic codes to be brought forth when it was again safe for the Goddess to return. We had not known how many, many, many lifetimes we would have to reincarnate in one disguise after another before we could come forward again as priestesses and live the teaching, live the Great Mysteries. That time is now! At last, that time is now!
