Who are the Priestesses of Gaia?

Over two thousand years ago, in the birthplace of Greek civilization, on the land now called Delphi, pilgrims would travel from all across the ancient Mediterranean world to enter the temple of the God Apollo and receive the prophecy of the Oracle of Delphi.

The Oracle was not just one woman, but many women who served as Priestesses in the temple of Apollo across the span of hundreds (if not thousands) of years.

As the High Priestess, the Oracle was also known as the Pythia, the medium between the male God and the masses, who was the guardian of the wrath of the Python, the snake who Apollo slayed when he first arrived to Delphi from the womb of Mother Sea carried by dolphins.

This python was in fact Shakti, the primordial feminine mother of creation who at one time in all of our world religions and ancient civilizations was conquered by a masculine God, by product of patriarchy.

Apollo slaying the Python is the God conquering the Goddess. The masculine dominating the feminine. The Pythia, the Priestess, remained as the last of Her voice, employed in service (or enslavement) of a male dogmatic religion. The very name Delphi derives from the more ancient delphys which means womb.

When we journey deeper into our ancient feminine herstory, and the primordial wisdom of the body, we remember that at one time all women were Oracles of Shakti, as Priestesses of the very Source of Life within ourselves… from within our own womb.

Tracing deeper into our feminine origins, archeologists have discovered that before Apollo came to slay the Python, Delphi was inhabited by Goddess Cults who worshipped one deity they called Ge... Gaia… Mother Earth. Before the temples were erected in service of a masculine God, people of all genders bowed to the body of Nature.

At one time, the Earth was our religion. The female body the animation of our Creatrix, The Mother of us all.

Many of us have lived lifetimes where we served as Priestesses in the temples of ancient cultures all across the world, both known and unknown within our modern understanding. We may also carry these memories through our DNA from the Priestess ancestors who were hidden and forgotten within our bloodlines.

Regardless of whether we served that role at one time in our soul or genetic journey, every single one of us holds the ancient revolutionary knowing that our body is the very temple of the sacred.

Every single one of us has the capacity to receive prophecy directly from the living body of Earth, our Mother Gaia, through the elemental magic of our own flesh and bone. 

Every single one of us is directly connected to the Source from which we all came: The Mother.

Rather than romanticize the past, Priestesses of Gaia is an invitation for women from ancestral lineages that span all across the world, to come together and rebirth a new culture. One that honors and recognizes the holy sovereignty within every-BODY, and the very visceral reality of the sacred within the form, beginning with your own.

Priestesses of Gaia is a healing, a reclamation, and a celebration, in honor of the Oracle, Shakti, within us all.
