3 - High Priestess

“I never fully identified with being a member of the Christian church although I was technically baptized in one…Divorcing myself from that dogma catalyzed my spiritual liberation and gave me the power to choose what I marry myself to, mystically. Without grieving the power of choice I was never given, I would not have been able to become my own priestess. I feel deeply for those who have experienced religious abuse and it’s my hope to be an ally in restoring trust in spirituality for those folks, that’s a big part of my inspiration in my healing work.” -Sara

“I have never ever believed in god. I wish I had back then. It would have made my life easier. But I was sitting in seminary at 15 going, “Is this what I am really going to do for the rest of my life? Go on a mission knowing I don’t believe in this shit?” So I got up and left and never looked back. Read The Satanic Witch in my late 20’s and started practicing secular magic. 10/10 would recommend acknowledging you’re powerful and deserving outside of the church.” -Melanie
