the Avalonian ​priestess path

The Ninefold Path of the Priestess is a 33 month distance learning immersion into the ​Ninefold Mysteries of Avalon. It is designed to facilitate the building of a profound personal ​relationship with Avalon and her Guardians, to assist each seeker in revealing the nature of ​her authentic priestess service, and to set each woman solidly on the path to reclaiming her ​Sovereignty.




In the first 11 month session, we focus on the Cauldron of Inspiration and engage in deep ​work with the Paths of the Lorekeeper, Lawspeaker, and Emissary. In the second 11 month ​session, we focus on the Cauldron of Abundance and engage in deep work with the Paths of ​the Artisan, Hearthtender, and Guardian. In the third 11 month session, we focus on the ​Cauldron of Regeneration and engage in deep work with the Paths of the Seer, Healer, and ​Ritualist.





This work is an interweaving of three powerful strands: a series of teachings based on well-​sourced historical, cultural, and literary research; a grounded and well-tested system of ​Avalonian tools and spiritual techniques; and an active practice of guided workings that build ​bridges of connection with the Ninefold — within us, around us, and beyond us.


As part of this journey, we will gather in quarterly Sister Circles where everyone will have an ​opportunity to share wisdoms and insights, to process our journey work, and to celebrate ​with song and other acts of creation. This consciously constructed hearthfire is also a space ​around which bonds of Sovereign connection can be forged between sister journeyers.



The Ninefold Weave

Embark upon the Quest for Sovereignty

Learn how to navigate beyond the waters of the Ninth Wave and reach the ​shores of Ynys Afallon — the Otherworldly Island of Avalon. Begin the ​process of reclaiming the Vessel of Sovereignty within, while working to ​activate the transformational powers of the Cauldrons of Inspiration, ​Abundance, and Regeneration in our lives.


Engage with the Mysteries of the Ninefold

Undertake a journey into wholeness by identifying and balancing the Nine ​Aspects of the Self. Experience the catalytic energies of the Nine Paths, and ​foster authentic relationships with the Nine Guardians of the Holy Isle. ​Identify the spiritual thresholds that must be crossed in order to undertake ​a unique course of sacred service to Avalon guided by the Ninefold Path of ​the Priestess.


Experience Circles of Sisterhood

Join in quarterly Wisdom Circles that are illuminated by a hearth fire ​kindled by the breath of Sovereign Sisters. Together, we will weave ​tapestries of support and connection by holding safe and sacred space, ​sharing songs and other gifts of spirit, witnessing challenges and triumphs ​in equal measure, and encouraging the growth and transformation of our ​Sister seekers.
