Priestess of the Stars
Priestess of the River Valley, Emily Barry
I have walked the path of the Priestess for the past 6 years. I began my initiation in 2020, with my Priestess of the River Valley training. Over the course of three years, I was in deep study, reflection, healing, and integration. I learned ancient forms of divination including: scrying, dowsing, oracling, runes, and other sacred techniques. I connected to my Priestess power, potential, and gifts through learning the ancient mysteries of the Priestesses who have come before me. I began to live in accordance with the Celtic Wheel of the Year, honoring the rhythms and cycles of nature. I began to appreciate the gifts and teachings of each season and connect to the Celtic Goddess associated with the season. Connecting into the Wheel of the Year, the way my ancestors would have been connected to the earth inspired me to learn the names, stories, and sacred ways of my Celtic ancestors. I learned to connect and trust my intuition above all else. I rediscovered my inner world. I dove deeply into my shadow and was held by the Dark Goddess for many turnings of the wheel. I experienced the freedom that comes from working through my trauma. I learned the ancient ways of alchemizing lead into gold. I journeyed deep down into the bottomless well of my own being and found the gifts hidden beneath my pain and suffering. It’s here in the darkest parts of myself that I learned to transform my pain into power.
In 2024, I began my Priestess of the Stars training. I studied for two years to become a Priestess Astrologer. I learned to connect, channel, and embody the 12 divine feminine archetypes of the astrological wheel. I connected deeply with the planets, stars, constellations, astrological signs, and houses so I may offer readings grounded in their ancient wisdom, magic, and medicine. I offer grounded and practical rituals for connection. I learned to co-create with the cosmic cycles. I am a bridge between the Yoniverse, the great cosmic void, the earth, and the underworld. I am here to bring cosmic wisdom to this earth and into embodied rituals, ceremonies, practices, healing medicine, and messages to support you on your path of self-discovery. The Priestess path is a life-long initiation. I continue to study and connect to the Goddess in her many faces and forms daily. I walk the path humbly in devotion to the Goddess. I am here to share all I’ve learned and to guide others on their path.
