This will be our second official intake of students to this year long exploration of spiritual service and power.
There comes a time when we are ready to become who we have always wanted to be. There comes a time to be still, to centre ourselves and feel out what we have really have inside of us. There comes a time to build our resilience, our strength, our confidence as well as our capacity for joy, creativity and action.
There comes a time when we are ready to reject our reliance on the external for our pleasures and self worth, for this is such false power.
There comes a time when we are ready to develop real power.
That time is now.
We are in a time on this planet where we need more authentic and ethically powerful people who are ready to step up and model what living a life of clear intent is without being distracted by the external of gossip, drama and manipulation.
I wanted to offer more advanced work based partially on traditional priestess teachings for those who feel they are ready and can benefit from it.
The Priestess Path is a year-long teaching that will weave and work with the eight major festivals of the Wheel of the Year as an energetic guide.
The principals of stillness, the raising, holding and sharing of power, and the power keys of self knowledge, self love, self trust, self care and leadership (and more) will all be examined and taught through the filter of ‘the Priestess’.
The teaching will be 8 X 2 hour LIVE Zoom sessions, recorded skills videos, and you will be set with substantial personal work in between, including a ‘major project’.
There will be a bonus session, face to face, in Sydney in January 2022 for those who wish to undertake practical skills in person.
Side effects of completing The Priestess Path:
You can expect to be transformed by this pathway if you choose to be dedicated to the work.
You can expect a sense of capability, sureness, flowfulness, courage, discipline and confident expansion.
Things that used to bother you just will not be on your radar any more.
You’ll be able to handle difficult situations with greater ease and with a solutions based attitude.
You’ll be less fearful about making mistakes and you’ll understand that failure is simply a step in success.
You won’t be so scared.
You’ll see and break old patterns that stopped you being powerful.
You might just let go of who you were and be who you are.
This is advanced work and so there is a level of knowledge and capability I am assuming. It is open to those who have successfully completed the 12 Goddesses and/or the 12 Gods Mentorships or have been practicing the Goddess or Witchcraft paths for some years and additionally, to gain entry, you will have to complete an application which I will assess. Invitations will be extended after this.
I expect this to be a small but solid group.
You will receive Stacey’s Queen of the Moon Oracle Deck or a deck of your choice.
Investment is AUD $720. (gst inclusive) or AUD$190 per qtr
First LIVE date is 28th January 2021 with 8 x 1.5-2 hour sessions throughout the year. All sessions will be recorded for your convenience.

The Dark Goddesses-
There is a profound beauty in the darkness, the unseen, the mysterious.
In a world where we think we know everything, where the current paradigm of the world tells us that everything is brightly exposed with nothing unknown, choosing to still commune with possibility and the admission that there is indeed some mystery remaining in the darkness, is vital for our balance and harmony as humans.
The Dark Goddesses are misunderstood because they are not evil or death but instead they help us transform our shadow and illuminate the path forward. If we decide to seek or even engage with these shadowy unconscious aspects of ourselves, these darker parts, perhaps we can refine them, perhaps even reshape them into something exquisitely useful and beautiful. Perhaps we could grow to even love them because they are the wholeness of who we actually are. The Goddesses of the Dark can help us.
We will-
– Explore 6 of the “Dark Goddesses” and their lessons and guidance for us. These
will include Hekate, Kali and Morgan Le Fae.
– We learn about how to create a magical and devotional practice with Goddesses like this.
– Learn how work can be supported with the Lunar and Seasonal cycles.
– Create a spell or ritual for one of the Goddesses to cast.
Two Zoom classes with email support in between. Notes supplied. Zoom classes will be recorded for your convenience.

Every year, early in the year I do a special oracle reading day so that folks can get good actionable insights for the year ahead. I know many of you are already enquiring about the date…so here it is: January 13th.
On this day I do 30 minute readings via phone, Skype or Zoom with one of my Oracle Decks for you for only AUD$110 (a discount of $40).
I only do this once a year, for one day and bookings are of course limited,
As many of you know, I have been running a more comprehensive and deeper year-long programmes for the last few years because I believe that to make lasting positive change in our lives, we need time to do so.
For 2022, I will be leading an exploration of the Dark Goddesses and the power they can bring to our lives.
Why the Dark Goddesses?
Firstly, there is a profound beauty in the darkness, the unseen, the mysterious.
In a world where we think we know everything, where the current paradigm of the world tells us that everything is brightly exposed with nothing unknown, choosing to still commune with possibility and the admission that there is indeed some mystery remaining in the darkness, is vital for our balance and harmony as humans.
Secondly, the Dark Goddesses are misunderstood. They are not evil or full of death but instead they help us transform our shadow, reveal our power and illuminate the path forward. If we decide to seek or even engage with these shadowy ill-formed unconscious aspects of ourselves, these darker parts, perhaps we can refine them, perhaps even reshape them into something exquisitely useful and beautiful. Perhaps we could grow to even love them because they are the wholeness of who we actually are. The Goddesses of the Dark can help do this and with pleasure and joy as they have done for thousands of years.
Thirdly, the Dark Goddesses spur us into taking action. These are big energies that encourage and compel us to participate in bettering our own lives.
Who would benefit from this magical year?
Anyone who wants to release, re-focus and renew. Anyone who is interested in the power of the Goddesses and their mythos. Anyone who wants to get unstuck and to clear away what is in their way. Anyone looking to travel down a pagan pathway and who is specifically interested in witch’s skills.
This is a practical programme, meaning there are tasks and actions you must engage with to get the most out of this, so if you can’t dedicate 2 hours a month to the work (outside the zoom class), it’s possibly not for you.
We will:
– Explore 12 (or more) of the “Dark Goddesses” and their lessons and guidance for us.
– Each month we learn more about ourselves through the framework and mythos of these darkly divine deity.
– Learn how this deeper work can be supported with the Lunar and Seasonal cycles as we travel through the year.
-Each month a witch’s skill, corresponding to the Goddess we will be working on, will be offered for you to learn. These will include writing chants, using herbs, potion making, enlivening talismans and spellcasting techniques.
12x 1.5hr Zoom classes with email support in between. Notes supplied.
Zoom classes will be recorded for your convenience and available to you ongoing. Confidential Facebook page for group discussion is optional.
Small group only for individual support.
