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.

We are attempting to change your consciousness, one can not achieve that by using outdated and outmoded language and models, no matter how familiar and comfortable this feels.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.
