A Call to Reclaim Our Lineage as Priestesses of the Living Goddess

It’s well documented that we once lived in a matriarchal world where women held respected societal positions. However, over time, these women had to go underground and, in most cases, were killed because the church and politics of the time declared their practice as going against the authorities at large. 

These women were the keepers of sacred knowledge and held the codes of the Living Goddess within their bodies and practices. They were closely connected to Animals, Trees, and Plants as Medicine. They communed with nature and the worlds between worlds—Because numerous teachings were lost, many women still long to return to their true power. 

Many women were not just influential leaders and nurturers of life but sacred priestesses—living, breathing embodiments of the great Mother Goddess herself, The Living Goddes. These women carried cosmic codes and mysteries within the sacred temples of their bodies. Revered as healers, shamans and seers, they tended the spiritual wellsprings of existence.

Fortunately, I came into this lifetime with a slight whisper of this sacred knowledge. Yet when I started revisiting and integrating several past lives, many of my past skills and knowledge were reactivated. It has been one of the most rewarding explorations I have ever experienced.

To these female wisdom keepers, all creation was alive with profound meaning and interconnected energy. They could attune their consciousness to the spirits of animals, trees, plants, and elements. Each brook, breeze, blossom and buzzing bee sang the primordial song of the Goddess’s love. The women understood the poetic language of nature in their bones – communing with the unseen realms and forces animating the world of matter.

In essence, these daughters of the Living Goddess were the elemental conduits between heavenly and earthly dimensions. Their rituals and ceremonies provided gateways piercing the veils between realities, allowing them to journey amongst the broad spectrum of existence. Whether weaving healing rites, ecstatic trances, or divinations into the life cycle’s pivotal thresholds, their spiritual arts pulsed with the Living Goddess’s ever-renewing power.

Tragically, this blessed era came crashing to an end as the unstable forces of patriarchal domination spread across the lands—those who exalted only the male principle as sacred Truth waged brutal campaigns against the ancient feminine traditions. Demonized as witches and heathens, the priestesses faced horrific persecutions, torture, and massacres. Those who escaped fled into hiding, cloaking their practices in secrecy from the tyrannical onslaught.

Over centuries, so much of this woman-centred wisdom was lost or driven underground into concealed mystic communities. Only fragments of this feminine knowledge were passed forth, dim echoes of the ultimate liberating practices they once shared. The Earth herself seemed to move into a melancholy silence as the groves, stone circles, and sacred flames attended to by the wise women fell cold.

Yet, in the cyclic spirals of time, the moment has arrived for a renaissance of the divine feminine spirit to be birthed anew. More and more women have reawakened to our primordial roles as priestesses and living embodiments of the Living Goddess’s unfurling radiance. We can feel the ancient kinship of the mother’s past, the divine feminine stirring our souls, and profound spiritual amnesia being shed with every step towards reclaiming our intuitive connection to our Living Earth.

For those of us travelling this sacred path of divine feminine embodiment, it is a valuable blessing and an immense responsibility. We must journey deep within to retrieve and re-integrate the fragmented mystical aspects of our essential power that have been severed and suppressed across lifetimes. Healing these wounds of the past and reawakening as radiant vessels for the Living Goddess’s return is no small undertaking. But with fierce focus and devotion, we can resurrect our foremothers’ wise, magical ways.

We are the spiritual daughters of these wonderous women who tenaciously survived the attempts to eradicate them. And now, the feminine fire is being stoked again within our hearts. May we fully embrace and emanate creation’s sensual, intuitive mysteries once more. The world’s survival and spiritual evolution depend on the divine embodiment of the Living Goddess’s eternal return through us.

Heart to Heart, Elizabeth
