)O( I am a modern Priestess, yet not of the New Age )O(

Hello dear reader,

This is my first blog on any platform. It is my hope that I will illuminate uncharted corners of minds, come to exist in places I have never been, and bring to light all manner of things normally considered dark, unspeakable, or frightening. It is my ambition to inspire others to wander farther and farther away from the well-worn paths of conventional society.

Being a priestess in the most ancient sense means being able to witness the sacredness in each act, object, thought, and feeling. What is sacredness? The cosmic divinity that comes with being fully present in the oneness of now. Rage can be sacred if it is being expressed for the highest good of all. Fear can be sacred if it is be expressed in the wake of a truly destructive force. Pain can be sacred. What designates something to be of divine and cosmic importance is not whether it makes those experiencing it feel good or bad, but whether it uplifts and advances them.

Self initiation as the priestess of your own life doesn't require advanced skills, secret knowledge, or the blessing of someone more knowledgeable than you. You simply have to decide, every day, that your existence is of divine relevance and that it is your responsibility to view reality with that in mind. What is divinity? That which connects us to concepts greater than ourselves, and that which connects us as a whole to become a greater unified self. Once you have decided to walk in this type of awareness, you will find that symbolism, ritual, symmetry, and the impossible to define become exponentially more powerful.
