As any of you who have been journeying with me this year know, I have been on an intensive Priestess Pathway into the Divine Feminine and her many Archetypes and inspiring Goddesses. It continues to be challenging, but also beautiful, enlightening, and exactly where I need and want to be right now. The most exciting thing is that I know there is so much more to unfold and come. What that is I don’t know, but I’m learning to let go of the knowing and wanting to know – and just being and feeling into whatever is going to unfold.
When I first heard the word Priestess it lead me to the wonderful work of Elayne Kalila Doughty at Priestess Presence. Divine timing was clearly on my side because I was able to sign up immediately for a series of free devotional dialogues Elayne had curated with Priestesses from around the globe. I was drawn into this incredible world of modern women living with ancient and Divine intent through their work as coaches, healers, alchemists, guides, oracles and so much more. I was struck by their incredible diversity of age, experience and culture and I felt incredibly blessed to be able to soak up their beautiful wisdom.
And it really was an easy decision for me to take the next step and become part of the Priestess Presence Online Mysterium. It wasn’t really a decision anyway – rather the following of a calling. It was my first real deepening into of the greater feminine mysteries and it set me on the journey of remembrance as a Priestess and much deeper work.
I now feel it is only right for me to pass on to another sister the beautiful first experience I had on my Priestess Path. And I am doing that by giving away a place in the next Priestess Presence Online Mysterium which is ‘Awakening the Mystery of the Sovereign Queen: Opening to the Heart of the Magdalene’. This incredible 10 week online mystery school is worth $397 (early bird) and $597 (full price) and will see you receive and participate in live online temples, deepening practices with experienced Priestesses, beautifully designed handouts and videos and a live Facebook community lead by Elayne Kalila. Throughout the Online Mysterium you will explore what it means to stand as a Sovereign Queen of love and self-love in your own life, embrace the power of presence and emptiness as you deepen your connection to the Divine Feminine within you, uncover your Priestess lineage, begin to heal wounds of separation you may have from your true self and so much more.
GIVEAWAY (NOW CLOSED): If you are called to undertake this amazing Divine Feminine experience (occurring from October 16th – December 18th) and would like to win a place in it please leave me a comment below sharing with me why you wish to win.

All the best beautiful if you are being called to enter the giveaway or simply join this beautiful experience. It was the beginning of a life changing path for me as it may be for you too.
Since discovering Beautiful You and becoming a life coach , I have embarked on a journey of self discovery and self healing. I am certain that the priestess path will enhance and deepen this journey. I am ready to embrace my inner priestess fully and wholeheartedly.
I would love to be a part of this Sovereign Queen Experience! It would be a truly divine experience to be guided by Elayne to heal my heart, open fully to divine love, connect with the ancient wisdom of my soul and allow the Priestess within to rise all while being supported by fellow Goddesses! How Magical
I am on journey right now where i do not know which path to take, would love to learn how to connect with my inner self. My intention is to experience the process with my soul and not with my mind. Many blessings love love love and gratitude for this opportunity
Hi Julie, what a bliss opportunity, thank you. I would love to connect with myself and open up my feminine power and be more of my true self than ever before. Much love xx
The priestess path is one of spirals and circles . If I am blessed with this opportunity , I would like to pay it forward to other women in my healing work who wouldn’t otherwise be able to participate . Thank you for the chance to apply !
Julie, what a generous gift you’re offering. I would love to enter the mysterium as the next step of my own accidental journey into and exploration of the feminine.
My accidental journey started in April, when, six months into my marriage, I had a sudden and quite forceful initiation into the question of not only what it means to be a woman, but what it means for me to be a woman. At first, I began reading anything and everything I could online (which isn’t saying much) about women’s sexuality through history, then the mythology and historicity of Mary Magdalene, pre-Greek Pantheon goddess religions, and the hieros gamos. After some months, I ordered a small collection of books for myself, as I realized I needed to give myself permission to really study this issue, and not simply pass it off as a “phase.” Over the last two months, I’ve been slowly digesting (and heavily marking) The Heroine’s Journey by Maureen Murdock, which has also inspired some lengthy and illuminating discussions with my mother on womanhood and the legacy we not only inherit but contribute to as women.
I signed up for The Queens’ Council on a whim when you first mentioned it many weeks ago, because if Julie Parker recommends it — I’m on it! The whole experience has, to understate it, been a complete paradigm shift for me, as I’ve witnessed, for the first time in my life, positive feminine role models. From Kalila’s very first Opening Ceremony, I have been enthralled. I watched that ceremony in my bedroom and afterward came out to speak with my husband about it and told him, “The cynic in me wanted to watch that and be turned off by the woo of it all, but I can’t help feeling I need this.” I then told him I wouldn’t be watching any TV in the evenings with him over the next two weeks, because I needed to be fully present in council every day and make the most of this coming together.
I feel that the study I’ve been doing, including the experience of this council, has been just the first gentle stroke of the archeologist’s brush. There is a vast, as yet unknown, treasure waiting to be uncovered here for me. I will be honest in telling you that I am already seriously considering making the investment to enter the mysterium, but I would be honored to have your sponsorship.
Thank you for being one of those positive feminine role models for me, Julie. I am, as always, inspired by your leadership in dedication and vulnerability. xx
Since starting my Beautiful You journey I have discovered a spiritual side of me that I never knew I had.
I think being a part of the Elayne’s Priestess Presence Mysterium would help me to discover my inner priestess and deepen my new spiritual journey.
I also believe that my ideal clients would also benefit from finding their inner priestess too.
Dear Julie, your post on Instagram just came in the perfect moment for me! I felt drawn to mysteriums and all things priestess and Devine since I was very little, but never felt really in the right place with religion and felt even ashamed to talk about this most of the time. Now this has changed.
The last month have been quite a roller coaster ride for me in so many ways. I thought I was already borcken open by all I experienced and learnt with my beautiful you journey and finding out about being pregnant in June. These two things in my life finally after so many years made me turn to myself and see me as the woman I am, making myself a priority and invite so much love in my life. On the other side I was not able at all to “work through” all that I had planned and to set up my business as quick as I wanted. Also I felt one piece was still missing.
5 weeks ago we found out that our little girl had Down syndrome and a multiple severe heart deficiency. This was a shock, and we decided to let her go in week 20 to protect her from all the pain and fear she would experience in her body for this life. I know, she knew before she chose us and I know her soul is free and happy now. Giving birth to her and connecting to her beautiful little soul was a painful but incredibly healing experience for me, making me so conscious about the feminin inside me and the powerful connection to an endless source of light, love and strength we have if we believe and trust. I am still processing all that my little one gave to me and finally see what I can give to the world. I feel much more whole now and turned so much more to exploring femininity especially for healing my wounds in my womb as well as all wounds in my soul I took from experiences in my life. This is an incredible transformation and my cards keep telling me to teach and to bring healing to the world. I am a totally different person now.
Reading your post it felt like a calling to the next step. I would love to continue my journey and expand on the path of a priestess. I would love some guidance on the mysterium of the Devine source of love and sorting all that I received through my really powerful experiences. I hope that writing all this here is ok and I was able to put into words the overwhelming things I feel and how connected I felt to your beautiful offer. I would be so honored to receive your gift! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I would love to win the scholarship simply because I know that there is something within me ready to burst out… I just don’t know how to get or allow this energy to be free and sovereign. This course is exactly what I need right now.
Love, blessings and gratitude
Dear Julie,
This year I have felt a greater need to focus on my spiritual practices and my self-development journey. That has translated to more self-love, healing and greater gentleness as I grappled with my inner over-achiever and my quieter, more earthy, inner creative muse. What this experience has shown me is that I am more than woman. I don’t always have to walk a pathway on my own and that I can allow myself the gift of shared discovery and true sisterhood. What I know about the divine feminine – I feel it all around me and know it is within me. I am thirsty for knowledge. I am ready to expand, learn and rise and hope to come home to me even more. I always want to evolve and would immerse myself in this sacred mysterium with gratitude and an open heart. Thank you for considering me and for your generosity and light.
Love
Janelle
Julie! Don’t count me in the giveaway, because after reading all of the gorgeous comments by so many amazing women it’s clear that there are many who are more called than I, however that said I wanted to just say how awesome the course looks, and I absolutely love how you are guiding yet another self journey movement especially one as creative and beautiful! i love when the history of something powerful, meets with modernity and I can see how the Divine Feminine is taking on a new existence through so many who need her now!
Love this so much!! Sweetest blessings! xoxo
Wow Julie this is an amazing gift. I have loved reading about your journey on the priestess path this year. I am feeling a huge soul spark of resonance with the course. I am beginning to understand that embracing the divine feminine might be for me, paradoxically, the key to dissolving energies of smallness, shyness and passivity, and unlocking greater confidence, empowerment and sparkly-ness. Also, as a devoted student of life who has taken on many courses and books over the past two years to better serve my beautiful clients, I am a wee bit excited about (okay, madly in love with) the idea of taking a course for pure pleasure, intrinsic value and personal exploration! I have loved reading the touching comments so far and I know the course will go to an amazing home. Love and gratitude x
I saw your post on IG and my soul said YES! I have been transitioning on my own journey connecting with the Divine Feminine and what comes my way to develop deeper into what it means to be in pure flow as a powerful woman, connecting to other woman, holding circle and embracing the sweet nurturing of the village and goddess way of life. I would love to continue this journey with you and the other sisters, to see what is next in this healing and powerful life journey as a soulfully led woman. X
How deliciously generous Julie! From the moment I heard you speak of your Priestess journey, chills of remembrance and longing travelled through my body.
I acknowledge you for paying this gift of reconnection forward and giving another woman the opportunity to step into her sacred power.
Hi Julie, this is a very generous gift you have for someone. For me 2016 has been one of surrender, it’s about trusting myself, knocking down walls and opening my heart. This year I had a big aha-moment when I realised how much I have cut myself off from my feminine. The journey of self discovery I am on, it is about connecting myself with my inner wisdom and learning to trust this will unfold as it is meant to. To be able to be guided by priestesses at this moment and in this way would be truly magical.
What a generous offer! Until I signed up for the Queen’s Council, the idea of Priestesses, Queens and Goddesses only existed in the realms of fiction and the ancient past for me. I have been experiencing some major and difficult initiations over the past couple of years which have forced me onto a throne I didn’t even know I had and I am just beginning to understand the extent of my worth and responsibilities. I am becoming more in touch with my intuition and this mysterium might be exactly what I need to help guide me. Love and blessings to you!
Dear, Julie!
Thank you for the generosity of your heart! It really serves as an example for me what it means to be willing to share all of your gifts in whatever forms might be suitable.
Let this specific givaway land in the hands of the right sister!
When it comes to what made me personally give myself the chance of receiving this powerful gift, it was done in a matter of seconds by a part of me that goes a way beyond my personal self. It just resonated. If at this specific moment I were able to afford the tuition, I know I would have joined the mysterium by myself. I know the power of steping up, following your callings and surrendering that as long as you make your tiny steps, the Universe wil have your back. Still, I am at that phase of my life in which I am challenged to embrace the fact that I am not the numbers on my bank account or the seeming lack of them and keep on walking despite the challenges I face in terms of facing the material world. This is what I am already doing to the best of my abilities.
When I joined the lovely Queen’s Council and dived into the potent field created by you and al the lovely sisters there, it felt like an awakening and re-membering in the same time. Words can hardly describe the awe I experienced witnessing the beauty of the sister-to-sister relationship you were modeling for me and all the other souls that tool part in the journey. Also, when I heard the word PRIESTESS, it felt as if I have finally recalled what I am here for. No other purpose or role in my lifetime of 25 years has resonated so fully.
I know that there is tremendous loving energy in me that can lighten and warm universes.
I know with all my being that I have been through a tough, yet powerful initiation period in the last 7 years of my life.
I know I do not know anything at this point apart from the calling to embrace the unknown and to trust that it is OK for me to be primarily focused on my spiritual journey.
However, I also know that all the treasures I have access to within myself and in terms of the creative spiritual raum are here to be shared with the external world radically, unconditionally, according to what works in the modern age we are part of.
If the Priestess Mysterium can help me on this path and if you feel that what I am experiencing and heading for is exactly what you would like to support blossoming, then I would be more than honored to receive your gift with an open heart!
Be blessed on your journey, sister, inspiring more and more people to discover the beutiful in themselves!

Hi Julie,
I would love to win the giveaway and have the opportunity to explore and deepen my connection with the divine feminine. I have followed your journey through reading your blog posts about your experiences with the different divine feminine archetypes and it has been so inspirational to me and has drawn me to explore my own deep wisdom and divine spirit. Winning this giveaway would mean so much to me and I believe I would really soak up every bit of learning that it has to offer.
Love and light 🙂
Dearest Julie,
What a beautiful generous soul you are to gift such a powerful and rewarding experience, the sister that receives your gift will be blessed beyond measure.
My journey has been made up of a few steps forward, then a step back many times over in my life. I am soon to be 54 and I am at a point in my life that I now understand how to overcome those steps that seem to go backwards and recognize why my guides took me back in many cases. My forward steps are now taking me farther than they ever have before.
I am ready to fully help other recognize their worthiness regardless of where their lives have taken them. I feel as if this something that I have always done even as a young girl, now that I am truly following my arrow I understand the our entire lives are our journey and that we are given free will and offered many paths to choose from, many of which will lead us to where we are supposed to be regardless of the twists and turns the path may take us on. I feel that I have been blessed with a beautiful gift when it comes to finding the silver lining in every cloud. I have also been blessed with strength when it comes to lifting others up so that they too may see the brightness of the light they have in their souls. I can now do this without diminishing my own light or feeling as if I am unseen.
I would be so very blessed and eternally grateful to receive your most kind and generous gift. I am honored to even be considered. Much love and many blessings to you sister.
Blessings dear sister, I write this with humility in trusting the universe to allow my presence in this divine opportunity. So many words to express why, but simply, I am called over and over again to feel the Magdeline mysteries. I witnessed in awe your sharing during the Queen’s Council and just feel so beckoned to know more, to feel more and to enter into a deeper relationship with my HigherSelf. I am 61 years young, a yoga and meditation teacher, an awakening yogini, yet, my heart’s blood and essence always leads me to Magdeline. I was a very young child when SHE whispered elements of her essence in my being. This gift, your gift would give me and so many women an opportunity to feel and live in their sacred power that is truly the way, the way of the Queen, the way of the Sacred Feminine. I bow in humble grace. Abundant Blessings and much Metta.
I need this course. I have been disconnected from the divine feminine for quite some time and it has impacted my life in a negative way. I know that it is in me somewhere, but I’ve lost my way andI really need guidance on how to reconnect and rediscover this energy within myself and within our world again.
Blessed be dear sister! Deep now of gratitude for your generosity and for this amazing Queens Council offering! I would love to join in the next step of this and dive deeper on this priestess path to be a part of the rise of the divine feminine and healing of the planet and all her children. I choose love!
Julie I can sense the beauty of your priestess self flowing from your heart. Thank you for your beautiful journey and offer. Paying it forward is such a powerful and empowering way to move in life.
I started on my path with the Goddess one night while I was camping with my family. I had been reading a book by a Catholic priest where “Christ” was a woman on the cross. Since I am a Catholic and crazy in love with Jesus I was puzzled by what this meant. In the middle of the night I sat up in bed and proclaimed shouting OMG, God is a woman also. Of course!!!! I bet that whole campground heard me. Hee, Hee!! That was the beginning of my exciting, thrilling journey taking courses, meditating with Her, exploring Her, getting to know her. I was thrilled but was wandering around without my old friends who rejected me and in churches to no avail. I was furious till I met Magdalene as Jesus wife and beloved.
Then I took Mamagenas School of Womanly Arts and entered the gateway of HER sexuality and explosions of life, love and healing. After that I took Ariel Spilsbury’s 13 Moon Oracle and became an ordained Priestess. WOW!! and I have never stopped. I had a fabulous time offering a radio show LivingEden on Blogtalkradio which was feeding my soul immensely and had 6,000 hits a month. By the time the Queen’s Council came along I was again wandering around “in Her” discovering what “LOVE” means.
My husband and I have been married for 51 yrs. and we were really hurting physically with several serious maladies each and emotionally that were affecting our whole life and our relationship. He ended up getting laid off from work and our life plummeted financially. We had a beautiful expensive home that we no longer could afford and tried for three years to work with the bank to no avail. Following what I felt VERY strongly was the guidance of Goddess we left our wonderful home and danced the mystery of our new lives and the questions “What is love” and “What is our next step Goddess” every day. She lead us through life into many places, connections, courses, new spiritual friends with our hearts and minds constantly being expanded into the Mystery.
Now it seems all there is, is Mystery and the miracles of Life exploding every day in POWER = Presence, Oneness, Wisdom, Ecstasy and Radiance (my new interpretation) and always walking in this amazing Grace. Queen’s Council arrives and I again find deeper soul sustenance within Her. Magdalene has been a sister in this journey and I would love and be immensely honored to receive a gifting to attend Elayne’s Magisterium. I know I am called to serving in an even deeper way than ever before but am not certain what that is yet, just open to following and know she will lead me. This feels like a place I am being lead from my deeper heart. The rest is up to the Mystery. Love to all in deep gratitude. Thank you
Dear Julie,
This is truly a blessed gift you’re offering. Thank you!
Being present at the table with you and our Sisters of the Rose was an incredible experience of re-membering and renewing for me. It truly felt like coming home. The Goddess has been calling to me more persistently for a few years now. She has come to me in my dreams, and through the love I feel from trees and the presence of divine inspiration that comes thru my art, my energy balancing work with the land, and my deep soul connection with the sea. To claim my sovereignty as a priestess is a deep soul yearning that I see reflected back to me from all that I experience every day. To share this journey with other sisters truly lights me up. She is calling me to step up and step out. To use my voice and express my heart. This is so scary, but I know it’s what my soul yearns for and what is being asked of me right now. It is time, and to be surrounded and supported by other women through this unfolding would be a beautiful blessing.
So, thank you for considering me as a recipient of your gift. I am so grateful!
Blessings to you!

Hi Julie
Thank you for this beautiful offering
I want to begin by acknowledging everyone that has posted here. The vulnerability and openness you have shared, that in itself is divine feminine power!
Over the past year I have gone through what feels like a deep cleansing and purification that has made way for new levels of physical and spiritual wisdom I did not consciously know were possible. It has been dark, messy and painful but I have now begun to discover the divine power that has been hiding within me all along. I am ready to fully commit and step into a heart-opening, consciousness-raising and peace-finding journey to further embrace all parts of my divine feminine power. It would be such as honour to enter the temple that is Elayne’s Priestess Presence Mysterium
K x
many blessings, what a beautiful gift you offer. This is something I would love to take part in but cannot afford at this time, really simple.
So I place myself before the goddess and ask humbly, “Divine Mother, if this is for me, take me into your lap and hold me during this time.”
I know that every priestess here is worthy of her care and support and I pray that the most deserving is supported; I trust Her implicitly.
light blessings my beautiful priestesses.
Julie,
I have no need for your giveaway and I do want to thank you for such a beautiful gift to someone who does.
Julie – Thank you for the opportunity to win this amazing offering!!! Oh my, would I love to go on the Priestess Presence journey or what…Exploring the Divine Feminine is something I am feeling very called towards at the moment, I feel I have been living very much in my masculine for a long time I have forgotten how to come back into my feminine (I have actually been making a big effort to buy more dresses rather than shorts or jeans to bring in the more feminine feeling again).I know it’s time for me to make the journey back, to open up to myself and to the world as a me the divine feminine. Winning this amazing opportunity would change the course of my journey and help push me to fully open up and dive deep into myself, I know by doing this the universe would open so amazing doors to help me on my way.
Thank you for the oppertunity!
Much Love

Hello, dear heart,
I discovered you only yesterday, through Kalila’s Queen Council, which itself I discovered only 3 days ago. And as always, all was divinely presented to me, in divine perfect timing. The words and transmissions and energies of all Queens’ presence affirmed that my path is true. And yet again I take a step forward, not knowing where beyond this step I’m headed, yet wholly trusting the journey….
I have known since I was just a young’un that my role this life, in this realm, is to help awaken the Divine Feminine through the spirit and energy of The Magdalene. My own healing/wholeness/holiness path has led the way, and my personal woundings, experiences, trainings, inclinations, and passions have informed my 30+ year sojourn assisting others in reclaiming and expressing their authentically feminine soul-self.
More recently, I’ve discovered that more than simply awakening the Feminine, I feel we are called to balance the Sacred Feminine and Masculine within each of us. The more attuned we are to our innate feminine, the better able we are to integrate the Feminine and Masculine.
Should you resonate with the energy of my words and life purpose, I would love the opportunity to participate in the Mysterium. And should another sister’s request draw your attention, I gratefully send blessings to her journey, knowing her initiations will be well used in the world.
Much peace & abundant light,
Betz
I have been searching for a very long time for a place I feel I belong. To feel the love And compassion of others around me. I have been a healer since I was a young child. Hugging of just of myself to try to make others happy and to side those I took care of on their journey to heal from their illnesses. I have also spent many hours caring for those passing from this world to the next, ensuring they did not pass alone or helping them and their families on their difficult journey. I have been called to the well to learn and to further my path and my journey, until now I honestly did not know how to get to the well, I have longed to become closer to the goddess, to find the love that I thought I had lost a long time ago. To take this journey with others would help me find myself again, to become closer to the goddess and those who follow her path. I woould be forever grateful to be on this journey. Be that as it may, should I not be able to take this journey with my fellow queens, I wish all of them many blessings and a blessed journey.
Hello Julie, thank you for offering this for one lucky goddess. I would love to be the recipient of your giveaway. I just finished the Queens Council with Elayne, and wanted to continue on into the Mysterium. However, I am living on Social Security, so can’t budget for it at this time. At the age of almost 68, I feel like I’m finally growing into my inner Goddess. I’ve been on a path for a long time, given the spiritual name Kali in the 80’s, but this work with Elayne broke me wide open, and I would love to continue the momentum. If I’m not the one you choose, I’ll be able to continue on my own. I’m open to whatever is the choice. Thanks, Kali Kathleen
Hi Julie, thank you so much for the opportunity! It would be an honor to go on this journey. My name, Erika, means ruler, but I’ve hidden that part away for so long or brought it about only from a masculine place. This is affecting every part of my life and I NEED to truly spend time diving into my divine feminine. I am ready to find a life partner and I desire to have a deep, profound, and balanced relationship with someone special, but I need to tap into my divine feminine and truly love, appreciate, and nurture it once again. Being a part of the course would be a true honor to learn from one of the best and it would bring good not only to me but to my clients. As a medium and intuitive channel, I help my clients ditch the fear, shame, and guilt, and being able to help them tap more into their divine feminine would spread the work beyond just me and provide so much healing, love, and compassion in the world.
I feel drawn to this path as if it were calling me. After much inner and personal work, I believe that this should be the next step in my journey. It would enable me to open and heal my heart fully and embrace all parts of me completely so that I can truly be of service to others. I would be blessed to be a part of this sisterhood and totally embrace my passion to be of contribution to the world. Thank you Julie for the opportunity. Your generosity is inspiring.
What can I say except a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you who entered this giveaway. Reading through your comments has been simply beautiful and I thank you for sharing with me so openly.
The winner of the giveaway is Jess Davidson. Congratulations Jess and wishing you all the best for a beautiful mysterium experience.
