In this 13-session course, we’ll explore 13 priestess/priestexx pathways stemming from Jewish tradition. Meet the prophetess and the witch, the wise one/healer and the shrinekeeper, the dancing maiden and the sacred fool. We’ll study Jewish sources as well as engage in practices and rituals, from divination to altar-building to storytelling, that embody each of the sacred pathways.
This course is based on the pathways/archetypes developed in The Hebrew Priestess: Ancient and New Visions of Jewish Women’s Spiritual Leadership by Jill Hammer and Taya Shere.
The course will be taught via Zoom and can also be accessed via phone. All sessions will be recorded; you can take the course even if the time block does not work for you. For financial assistance/scholarship opportunities, please reach out to liviah@beitkohenet.org.
