The Wheel of Transformation

A painted Wheel of the Year: a gold wheel of seasonal worlds and animal guides around a glowing spiral centre.

As the World turns, as the seasons change and as we grow and mature, we enact an ancient cycle of transformation. Our women’s bodies, in synchronicity with the Moon, go through the same changes as our Mother the Earth does — and hidden within this cosmic dance is the purpose of our lives: the evolution of our souls.

As women living in a patriarchy, we have become “distanced” from this dance. Yet our ability to bring forth LIFE is what gives us our special powers to transform what is into what needs to be. We hold within us the understanding that LIFE is sacred and precious. It is no coincidence that huMANity is the most destructive force on this planet today. It was not so in ancient times, when women and Nature were in harmony and all of HER creations lived interdependently. It was a Golden Age: a time when women made the decisions, measured time according to their menstrual rhythms, their Blood Mysteries, and were the primary food providers, which made them very powerful. Yet most importantly, they were the Priestesses in the Ancient Goddess Temples, who served their communities and families.

How will the training unfold?

The Priestess of the Global Goddess Training takes the form of the seasons of a woman’s life, as linked to the soul’s evolution. Over three years, trainees journey through Herstory, Power and Service — calling in Goddess archetypes and animal guides, linking energies to the phases of the moon, and celebrating Her nature through Her seasons as experienced in the sacred body.
