Course Overview

 This course introduces you to working with the Dark Goddesses Morgana, Cerridwen, Hekate, Lilith, and Nephthys.
In these times of Illusion, where we as women think of ourselves empowered and free to choose, many are waking up to the compromises that had to be made. Not only are many women the main source of income for themselves and others, they also hold most of the responsibilities for life decisions and tasks, yet are still treated as second class citizens. 
There is a constant draw on our energies, with very little time left for creativity and rest. Look inside of you and see: how much rest do you really get from the daily hustle and bustle? When is the time for you? 
When do you journey to your own sacred place and rest? When do you ask for what you need, never mind what you desire?
Usually this self denial leads to resentment and anger, a poison in our bodies. We are taught to place ourselves last. It’s time to change that. 

The Dark Goddess will show you how to speak up, with love. Speak your truth. Build resilience against the constant unhealthy attachments others seek to place on you. How to build your inner temple and become a Priestess within it. She who holds the boundaries of your desires and your respect for yourself.
Your inner Priestess will show herself to you, will reveal the mysteries of your own unconscious and help you speak up on your own behalf. She will show you how to nurture and nourish your inner Self, your outer body and hear the wisdom of the Goddess. 
Most of all, She will show you how to have fun again. How to find your inner joy. 

*Discover Sacred Rituals of Pleasure and Nurturing.
*Rediscover your past life Priestess Self.
*Energise your bodies, all seven of them. 
 *Learn the sacred Art of Self Healing.
*Relearn to open your Heart to you.
*Become your own best Beloved.

Lady of the Lake of Tears

Morgana: Keeper of the Sacred Grail

Morgen La Fey to my friends. :) I am She who rules the land of Avalon, called Enchantress of the Magic Isles

Oh how maligned...
Oh how betrayed...
Oh how mistreated.....
Oh how misrepresented.....
Oh how I laugh, tears rolling down my cheeks, with glee at all those who thought me vanquished.
Who thought they could bury me beneath a layer of secrets and lies. 
Goodness me, did you think I was that feeble, my powers so drained?
Wrong my foes, for here I stand, tall and proud, in the land of Avalon, my home, my realm, my Queendom. 
I gave myself to the Guardian of the Realm, as the vessel of and for the Goddess. I did not play false, though he did so. 
Now:
I need no man to tell me my worth.
I need no woman to soften me to her will with sweet lies on her pious lips. 
They call me all sorts of names.

Enchantress is not a swear word for those of us who held the Grail. 
You will scoff at me, deny me my rights, speak lies about me? 
 I have that in common with my sisters. I am proud to stand side by side, hip to hip with them. 
How I love at the feeble attempts to imitate me. Have you no more sense than try to rip from me my sovereignty and power.  
Sister we were, together we helped and healed our people, before the liars and cheaters came to take away what was ours. 
Come, let me see in your eyes what they have taken from you and restore you to health, soul purpose, intent living. Let your tears flow with mine and together we will bring the lake back that they stole from me. 
If all sisters stood side by side, heart to heart and soul to soul, and gave our rebel yell, what a world this could be. 
Are you in? Will you come? 
Will you bring your passion and creativity? Will you come to honour your sacred grail?
I wait for you on the shores of Avalon. 
I have always been waiting for you there. 

What are my gifts to you: 
Freedom, Magic, Self Mastery, Dreaming, Manifesting.

Hekate: Keeper of the Crossroads

Torch Bearer
Titaness
Ruler of Earth, Sea and Sky
Hekate Einalia: The Meermaid Sea Goddess
Hekate Triformis: Maiden Mother Crone
Defender of the Maidens
Truth Speaker
Goddess of a 1000 titles
My first tutelary Goddess, much beloved, greatly studied, yet She never called me to become Her Priestess, She knew I belonged to her dark sister. 
She is the Unbound, meeting the souls at the cross roads at night. 
She is infinite, and like every other Goddess, She will show you the Hekate that you are meant to see, and teach you what you must learn. We have a myriad of sources of who She is, and how revered She is shows us Her might in the ancient times and today. She never waned, was ever present. 
She brings us to the brink, shows us the abyss, the ecstasy of oblivion, of abandonment of all rules and restrictions. 
Her role as light bringer in the dark makes Her the perfect companion through times of trouble. 

You are at the crossroads beloved. It is your choice now, will you go forward? Backwards? Left or right? 
Will you let go of what is comfortable, known, same old- same old? Will you hesitate, not daring to journey to your destination? Fulfil your soul purpose? Can you hear your soul weep at the unfulfilled potential you hold within? Courage is to be afraid and to do it anyway. 
To stand up for what is right, not go with what is easy? Learn from this rebel Goddess how to speak your truth. How to stand up for those in chains, those hidden, who can not speak for themselves. You are the Hope. The ray in the dark earth. 

Heart Breaker, Soul Seeker

Lilith: Keeper of the Temple of your Soul

Come back to me Beloved

No holds barred. 
There is no safe word here. 
You enter my realm and your body is mine. 
You enter here with no safety net. 
We don't care if you get offended. Live life like a wild wind.
We will not lie down and be mounted, hell no. 

We have no shame and guilt. 
We are the moon rising from the dark. 
We are the test that challenges all perceptions. 
No rules. You want to feel safe and cosseted. We are not for you.
My sacred sex is juicy and delicious. Come play!
I will show you the siren in you. 
I will show you what you are capable of. 
Prepare to laugh til you pee. Prepare to scream til you cry. 
We are sacred women. A circle of Sisters of the Moon. 

Sexuality and Sensuality are my gift to you. 
I will reunite you with your body. I will bring forth your joy again. I will get you blood pumping, your hips moving and your vulva pulsing. 
Feel the rhythm of your pulse leaping. Feel the bliss of using all of your senses, physical and otherwise. Let me show you how it is done. What is it? Come and find out. 

Nephthys: Keeper of the seventh Veil

I will lift the veil for you

Weaver of the Shrouds
Death is my gift. 

Mysterious, hidden, secret, sensual, life and death, dark sister of Isis, the great Mother of Egypt.
Few know of my existence. 
"I am the bringer of Death, taking you into a new life, I lift the veil of the mysteries for you and show you all the lives you had before, and maybe some yet to come." 

Do you trust? Do you surrender? Do you know what will come, with senses not often honed by the mundane? Do you get premonitions? Do your senses tingle when synchronicities align?

Who am I? Who are you? The dark wings of Nephthys will lift your soul to the highest realms, Her sweet calm will soothe the violent emotions in your heart and mind. 
How do we wish to be seen in the world? How do you wish to be perceived? Leave behind all that has been, all that you have been, all that you cannot change. Die to your old mundane Self and rise like the Phoenix from the ashes of your old life. Remember who you once were! Remember the time when you held the temple for all who came. I will awaken those memories for you, I will revive what is in the cells of your body, all the memories of when you were my Priestess, my Beloved. My gatekeeper. 
The veil does not lift for the unawakened. I will reawaken you!

Dive into the Dark Waters

Join the Dark Goddess Sisterhood to find your own true self. Some people have never been to their own soul essence, the part of them that never changes through any  -incarnation-, the part that we wish to return to, life after life. We have all been Priestesses in a previous life, maybe in many. I ask you now to go seek your inner Temple. Clear away the cobwebs that obscure your inner vision. Clean and polish the inner sanctum, set your innermost altar to yourself back up. Find the candles, and light them.
Start the preparation of the sacred oils. Blend the scents and then anoint yourself as the Priestess of your own inner Temple.
 
It is time for you. This is your sacred self care. You are strengthening the primordial bond with the Goddesses who brought life to this planet. The life giving divine Sisters. Ask for what you need, follow their guidance and return joy to yourself. 
Magic will happen, initiation into the mysteries are yours for the asking. They were always with you, and now you are ready to return to them.

Remember Sister, remember Sister, when we tended the Temples of the Dark Goddess Sisterhood together.  
We offer you Sisterhood, we offer you a safe space, we offer you a sanctuary amongst like minded people, we offer you soul retrieval and expansion, we offer you peace of mind and we offer you hope. 
Are you worth it to yourself? 
  

Only when you are soul∞whole will you receive the Sword of Truth and Justice from the Ladies of the Inner Temple, the Dark Goddess Sisterhood.  
May the Blessings of the Dark Goddess Sisterhood be upon you.


 


What the Dark Goddess can do for you.....

is make you love yourself. 
I am watching this video and I look at this slightly aging, shining woman, defiant to conventions, and I wonder and marvel at her, loving her fiercely, proud of what she has overcome and achieved.  
As I said when I started this project: no holds barred. 

This isn't Cronehood, regally sitting in a chair, spouting wisdom to anyone who comes asking, gently sipping their beverage of choice, with grateful youngsters sitting at their feet. 
This is full on, full throttle, grown into her power, 'I am woman, hear me roar'. At any age. 

Defying the prevailing preaching of seeking your shadow and vanquishing it, we look for the conditioning, the programming and erasing that. #faultyprogram
This You no longer lives at this address, so to speak. You will lose people on the way, those who wish to preserve you in your servitude to them, and you will find those who wish to join you in the quest for the real You. You will sit in the circle round the fire, sing raucous songs, and howl your power song to the moon. 

Morgen La Fay, Cerridwen, Lilith, Hekate, and Nephthys are stepping up, side by side, sharpening their whit, their sense of justice, ready to support you in the opening and unfolding of you. Like the petals of a beautiful rose, you will find an adventure that starts with a tightly furled bud and hopefully with the Sisterhood's help, end in a full blooming You.

COME JOIN THE REVOLUTION.

Frequently Asked Questions

  
Do I need to have previous experience to do the training? Are there any prerequisites?
No, you do not need any previous experience. However, most people who are attracted to work with the Dark Goddesses have substantial life experience. All students need to be responsible for themselves and their emotions and be prepared to explore their shadow.

I feel I am in need of healing. Will this training support me in that?
Yes, this training supports students’ healing and soul expansion. However, this is not a therapy course and students will need to seek external support if that is what they need.

Will I be able to practise publicly as a priestess after taking this course?
The focus of this course is on your inner connection to the Dark Goddesses which will benefit you in many areas of your life. However, if you wish to conduct public ceremonies and rituals, we suggest you look at the Priestess of Cerridwen two-year training also taught by Bee Helygen.

Usually Sundays in the pm UK Time. We will adapt depending on the geographical location of most of the students.

Will the live online training be recorded and is it necessary to attend live?
All live sessions are recorded, however it is most beneficial to join them live so that you can participate fully, ask questions, share experiences and connect with your sisters on the training. You are required to participate live in at least two thirds of the live seminars and the Online Dedication.
Peer Work in Break Out Rooms will not be recorded.

I’m not very good with technology. Will that be a problem?
The technology is simple to use for most people, however some students who are not used to being online can find it challenging to begin with. We have an orientation video to help you with this and ask that you contact us as soon as possible if you are still having difficulties so that we can support you individually – it’s usually the simplest thing that you have overlooked – and don’t worry, you won’t be the only one!

Is there homework and what does this involve? How will I be assessed?
We call our work Directed Tasks and Guided Expansion. The directed tasks will be required whilst the guided expansion is for those of you who wish to explore further, 
We are attempting to change your consciousness, one can not achieve that by using outdated and outmoded language and models,  no matter how familiar and comfortable this feels. I will not even tell you that you must read all the material. In the material there will be prompts that will help you consider, marvel, get you thinking, might challenge you and your thinking. All this is Goddesses’ way of guiding us on the path to Her. I am dropping the bread crumbs for the future generation of the Priestesshood. You chose to follow them. 

Will I receive a certificate and what will I be able to call myself?
Following successful completion of the course including all coursework and an initiation ceremony you will receive an Initiation Certificate and will be able to call yourself a Priestess of the Dark Goddess.
