I am a High Priestess, I have always known this.
I have had dreams and memories of this since I was
about 6 years old. I was teased as a child and called a "witch" by other children in Public School when it wasn't cool, because
of my energy, my intensity, and my wild black hair. Other people could sense it, feel it, intuit this from me. I was highly
emotional, intuitive, tied into nature, snakes especially. I could make things happen by intention, I saw through people,
and situations. I had an innate revulsion to patriarchal religions, and went along to synagogue as I had to when I was
young, and disliked all of it, until I was 12 when I told my parents that's it-I wouldn't go anymore.
I started to read about witchcraft as a teenager, and
shuddered reading about the Burning Times, as I held strong memories in my cellular consciousness of being burned at the stake,
tortured and cast down many times.
Over the course of my life, I was drawn to sacred sites in
various parts of the World, and at each one of them I had strong memories, recall from those places. At 17, I went to
Stonehenge for the first time. You were able to walk among the great megalithic stones and touch them then. I had a full bodied
sense of being there, many ages ago, walking around and within the standing stones, doing ceremonies on Full and New Moons.
I went to Ephesus in Turkey and bought a white and gold sequined robe, which was magical to me. There I felt very powerfull,
connected.
All the ancient sites, this one Roman,were always built on
top of older Gosddess worshipping sites. Mary Magdelane was said to have lived at Ephesus with Mary, Jesus' mother for awhile.
I was in Massada in Israel at the Dead Sea on a Full Moon and had an amazing heart racing memory of being there before. When
I visited the Caves at Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, when I visited Egypt , ALexandria, Cairo and Thebes I
felt totally at home, knowing that I had been to these places in previous lives. When I went to Knossos in Crete,an ancient
Goddess centred civilization, I remember feeling that things werwn't painted the right colours, that certain objects
had been in the throne room, tables, statues and such. I held a big foreboding ovr my head there, and though I didn't connect
with it initially, later a past life connection with another woman brought all the memories back to both of us. I was always
drawn to rocks and crystals, and another woman and I shared through a channelling I did, our connection to very powerfull
crystals and our life as Priestesses in Atlantis together.
I embodied the High Priestess in performances. I performed
as the Whore of Babylon in The Judgement Day Burlesque, which I helped co-created with artist Tom Dean, in March of
1977 at the old Ukranian Legion Hall on Queen Steet West, singing and stripping to full nudity in front of a crowd of artists.
I realize now, that the performance was to remind me of my ancient origins, my connection to being a Sacred Prostitute
or Priestess in the past. Those were the strongest memories I had as a child.
It might seem strange now, but there I was in the puritanical '50's growing up and having these memories
before I went to sleep at night at about 6 years old,of being the high priestess in the temples of
the Goddess in the sexual rites and tantric initiations of men. I was too young and innocent
to know about any of this conscciously, but my unconscious was clear and unobstructed, I was open, very open, and was flooded
with these very sexual images and intense feelings every night. I certainly couldn't tell anyone about it, so I kept it all
"under the covers" for I knew I would be punished {again} for embodying the sexual freedom and power of a High Priestess.
The High Priestess or Sacred Priestess is the Moon incarnate
Thus she is "virgin" in its original meaning, a woman
who is whole,complete unto herself, owned by no man, who does what she does to suit herself according to her own feelings,
intuition and rhythms.
Astrologically the Moon,whose dark side we never see, represents
emotions, the unconscious, your mother, memories, intuition, psychic capabilities, responses, the ebb and flow of cycles,
nurturing, home, the womb.
Numerologically, one can be a High Priestess not just through
virtue of memories and feelings but through Numerology.
If you add your birthdate vertically- for example:
If you were born November 29, 1951 you would write your birthdate:
11
29
1951
____
1991
The number that your birthdate totals is what is called by
Mary Greer in her book Tarot Constellations, your High Priestess Year.
If you add each number together individually,
1 + 9 + 9 + 1 = 20.
And then if the total number is 22 or under, as Numerology
and the Tarot are interconnected, and reduce it to its lowest common demoniator, in this case:
20 is reduced to 2
The Number 2 Trump in the Tarot is symbolized by the High
Priestess.
Therefore this person is a High Priestess Numerologically
and embodies that energy.
The Highest aspect of the High Priestess Numerologically
is when your birthdate totals 2,000.
Such as if you were born, Oct 31, 1959
10
31
1959
____
2,000
This means that you embody the full archetypal energy
of the High Priestess because there is no reducing the numbers from 20.
