Witches have long been associated with the practice of magical skills, spells, and manifestations. Across history and within many Indigenous cultures of Asia, Latin America, and Africa, these women are revered as holders of supernatural power. Yet, in much of the world, they continue to be misunderstood and condemned. Why?

In many traditions, I prefer to call these powerful women Priestesses, while others refer to them as Shamans. These women are spiritual conduits, not embodiments of evil. Instead, they possess a sacred connection to the Spirit World—a bond that has been feared and maligned for centuries. This post delves into the truth behind the Priestess, her covenant, and the threat she poses to orthodox power structures.

The Misunderstood Power of the Priestess

A Priestess is more than just a spiritual figure. She is a bridge between worlds—between the realm of spirit and the physical world we inhabit. She is aware of spiritual forces and the magic that exists all around us, and she is unafraid to work with them. This ancient wisdom enables her to harness energy for healing, insight, and manifestation.

However, she is fully aware that the Orthodox World will judge her harshly. The same knowledge and discernment that grants her the ability to guide and heal others also puts her at odds with the institutional structures that govern spiritual life. Historically, Priestesses and women like her have been hung, burned, and persecuted because their wisdom was deemed too dangerous.

The Sacred Feminine: Bridging Heaven and Earth

The power of the Sacred Feminine, which Priestesses embody, is often misunderstood. Feminine energy is powerful because it is intuitive, nurturing, and connected to the cycles of nature, creation, and the divine. The Priestess understands the power of energy and knows how to channel it. She calls on the forces of God, the Universe, and Mother Nature to manifest, to heal, and to transform.

But this divine connection is often seen as a threat by patriarchal religious structures. The idea that a woman—or anyone outside the established hierarchy—could access divine power without the church’s approval is seen as rebellious, dangerous, and even heretical.

Why the Church Fears Feminine Energy

Organized religion, especially in its more orthodox forms, thrives on control. It needs the masses to believe that they must go through the church to access divine power. The church demands that people come to them, give them money, and look to them for all their spiritual needs.

The Priestess, however, does not fit into this model. She knows that divine power is not something that needs to be mediated by an institution. She doesn’t need the church to connect with Spirit, and that terrifies them.

If you were to discover the power within yourself—that you, too, are anointed by God, by the Universe, by the Divine Mother—you would be labeled a witch. Why? Because, in the eyes of the church, how dare you believe that there is a power greater than the church itself?

The Church’s Throne of Power

For centuries, religious institutions have maintained their authority by convincing people that only they can provide access to the divine. They have established a throne of power that they refuse to give up. The idea that ordinary individuals, especially women, could wield spiritual power is terrifying to them.

The Priestess doesn’t seek to control others, nor does she desire to sit on a throne. She knows that her power is not hers to own—it flows through her. She is simply a vessel, a conduit for the Divine Energy that exists above and below.

Priestess Energy: A Sovereign Connection to the Divine

A Priestess doesn’t seek to sit on a throne of authority or rule over others. She understands that her body is a sacred vessel, through which the energy of the Divine flows. She doesn’t crave power for herself; instead, she seeks unity with the energy that is already all-powerful.

As a Priestess, she understands that true power is not about control. She says, “I am not the power. Above is the Power, below is the Power—Heaven and Earth, Father and Mother, Masculine and Feminine. As above, so below; as within, so without.”

She recognizes that she is part of a larger, interconnected web of energy. She is not the source of the power, but she knows how to tap into it and use it for the greater good. Her goal is not dominance but unity with the Divine.

Reclaiming the Divine Feminine: A Path to Selfhood

In the past, Priestesses had to be cautious about who they spoke to regarding their practices. The world wasn’t always ready to hear their truth. The orthodox powers often condemned those who worked outside of their control and questioned their authority.

She is intelligent in her silence. Speaking openly about these truths can invite persecution, judgment, and rejection. That is why the Priestess chooses her confidants carefully. She knows that her message will offend those who are not ready to embrace it.

If you still serve the orthodox teachings and follow the leadership of a pastor, then perhaps this message is not for you—unless you are ready to reclaim your energy and step into your own sovereignty. It is time to break free from external control and discover the sacred power that lies within you.

The Rediscovered Power of the Feminine

A century ago, it would have been impossible to speak openly about manifestation, prayer, affirmations, and meditation without risking your life. Imagine sitting by a river, calling in the energy of the Universe, and meditating on your connection with the Divine. In those times, anyone who saw you might label you a witch and call for your persecution.

A Priestess seeks her own truth. She doesn’t follow crowds or blindly submit to leaders. While she may have teachers, those teachers ultimately guide her back to herself.

Her relationship with Spirit is personal and unique. It doesn’t conform to orthodox practices, and it requires solitude, meditation, and reflection. Through this deep connection with the Divine, she learns to value and honor her own femininity. She becomes a holy vessel, capable of holding sacred space for humanity in a way that few others can.

The Emissary of the Sacred Feminine

A Priestess is an emissary of the Sacred Feminine. She is non-sectarian, and she is sovereign unto herself. She does not need the validation of any external institution, for she has already found her truth within.

The world may judge her harshly, but she stands firm in her connection to the Divine. She honors the feminine energy that flows through her, using it for healing, love, and transformation.

To embrace the path of the Priestess is to step into a place of spiritual sovereignty. It is to honor the sacred power within yourself and reclaim the ancient wisdom that has been suppressed for far too long.
