      Dedication

      I place The Priestess Code at the feet of the most Divine. My Beloved, my friend, my confidant. I would not know Her essence had it not been for Carmencita, my Beloved abuela. I dedicate this book to her and La Virgen Del Valle who both show me the power of being a woman devoted to Self, the world, and to the All that is.

      Gratitude

      Gratitude to all those who have crossed my path as I wrote for nine years; those who inspired me with your stories and your wisdom.

      A special gratitude to some of the teachers who have come before me: Paramahansa Yogananda, Burt Goldman, Lidia Scher, James Twyman, and John Wyrick. Thank you to the Sisters that support my spiritual wellbeing and expansion: Erica Rock and Christina Sophia Stellarum. Sweet thank you to two women who always make my life just a little easier: Jess McClear and Chris Morrison, you have both shown me true Sisterhood.

      Gratitude to those who believed in this project and the quiet and sometimes roaring wisdom I bring. Karen Curry Parker you have been a midwife to this book from its infancy; The Priestess Code thanks you for your unwavering support. To the second midwife, Michelle Vandepas and her team, who are such a beautiful reminder that it takes a village, especially for a book.

      Gratitude to my students who allowed these Principles to come to life, who reflected back the teachings, and who encouraged me with their deep desire to learn more about them.

      Gratitude: to my parents who passionately raised me to seek what is Holy, without attaching labels.

      Gratitude to my partner in life & love, Glen Cooper, who for the past nine years has entertained our spirited daughters while I wrote, edited, and sat in solitude.

      To my girls: Dharma and Sarada. I owe you my life. You have given me direction, passion, and a deep desire to leave this world a better place for you. It is my hope and prayer that you and every woman who walks with you and after you get to do work that they love. This book is a seed we plant together so that more of us give ourselves permission to be our true self, and the world in turn gets to be blessed by such holy expression.

      Introduction

      My beautiful initiate. You know there is something you are meant to be. Big things await you. At times, you feel clear where you are heading; other instances, you are totally confused how you ended up in this world that does not get you.

      You feel the purpose of who you are knocking persistently at your door, though there are contradictions against your own intent: the desire of traveling, and the playfulness of having fun opposes the quietness that is awakening in you.

      Uncertain of where you are headed, yet there is this nudging, a knowing that something big lives within you while simultaneously knowing you are here to experience life, to connect to the unseen loving forces you have begun to feel.

      Coming to this place in life, it took treading rough waters to arrive while withstanding pain, a broken heart and disappointments. Yet amidst all that, you also see the magic. You see that a higher force calls you, and is making way for your unfoldment.

      You are different than most, possessing a knowing that some seem to not understand or care to explore. You have wisdom beyond your years; however, finding words or a framework to be able to dwell within this space seems unattainable.

      I am here to tell you that it is not unreachable. It will take practice, it will require for you to explore what it means to be awake. You need to push the boundaries of being in this world but not of this world.

      I am here to make it easier for you to navigate life, to accept the ups and downs, the twists and turns, to find great pleasure in your journey. This is not necessarily a promise of an easy life. There will be moments where you will master challenges as well as moments where it will just feel damn hard. You will have nothing except the ability to ask for help, or choose to fall to your knees begging God to stop the pain.

      Sharing that this too shall pass is not a cliché. I am here to provide a perspective, a road map of sorts, to make it easier on you in order to give you a leg-up in life. You will become the wise woman you already know you are, knowing exactly in what season you are and how to handle it. The tools necessary to not just overcome everything, but to create a life of fulfillment, happiness, and riches will be shared.

      You will be held in these words. You will soften and be activated. These teachings that I am about to share with you will become your own. Take them into your heart. I promise that if you do that, even just one or two of these Principles will shift you into greater alignment with yourself, your path and all the beauty that you are here to create.

      Allow yourself to settle into the knowledge that your life is sacred; everything you have and will experience is perfection. Perhaps it is not the kind of perfection you are used to imagining, but now is when we should speak of what it means to be a modern woman with bills and responsibilities, and one who is also curious to live a life in communion with Spirit (the Universe, God, Goddess, you name it - or not).

      Yes, you can have your earthly cake and eat the heavenly manna that you so preciously deserve. You are a Modern Priestess.

      In this book, I will lay out the Principles and Teachings that will help you with this endeavor and also share stories of women who crossed my path at Divine timing. Their personal stories will give you a sense of not being alone, knowing that women from all walks of life are Spiritual Warriors of their own lives.

      I will admit that before this philosophy came into my life, I thought there was something wrong with me. My feelings were very intense, and I felt a lot of shame around my emotional ups and downs. Prior to my Presence practice (which will be shared in this book), I would try to control outbursts because I thought that I had to be in a constant state of peace to call myself a Priestess.

      However, when I began to see that all my feelings were sacred as each had a message either showing me what was in alignment or showing me what needed attention to heal, the self-judgement slowly started dissipating. I had to make time to feel the feelings when I was alone. I practiced this for years, and now I am at the point where I can feel the uncomfortable sensations. Once the wave of emotions subsides, I could be present with the next fresh moment before me, without having the past (or past emotion) inform my reaction.

      This takes practice and some discipline, but it is definitely doable to be honest about what we feel and be proactive about using the feeling to heal what is hurting within us, and even more profound to use all life experiences to bring us closer to what we desire. I no longer feel a slave to my feelings, but rather see them as a vehicle to being more aligned.

      Although the context of the book is for women, I really feel that the healing and awakening laid out is less about gender, and more about the Feminine Essence we each possess. We all have masculine and feminine qualities, no matter if we are man or woman or someone on the gender spectrum. No matter your gender or sexual orientation, it is my hope that you find a home in The Priestess Code, the stories shared and your own journey.

      Chapter 1

      Concept of a Modern Priestess

      A Priestess is a woman who feels ancient wisdom and connection to the Divine, with many manifestations of her devotion. She has spent lifetimes dedicated to the service of God (where you may interchange God for the word Spirit, Soul, Universe, Goddess, etc.) She feels a connection to her body as well as to the quiet moments, to nature, to yoga, to meditation, to sisterhood, to sex. She sees the sacredness of being alive and also deeply feels that holiness is inside her heart.

      It has been painted as a notion that
