PRIESTESS CODES: 

Shamanic Dragon Priestess Initiation 

 

Work Devotionally With Herbal Allies & Enter the Plant Temple

What This Is

Priestess Codes is a 13-herb immersion within the Shamanic Dragon Priestess path.

It can be taken on its own, or as a foundation to the Plant Priestess Certification.

This is where you enter the Plant Temple.

Through 13 herbal transmissions, you build a personal, intuitive and ethical relationship with sacred plant allies.

This is not about becoming an herbalist for others.

It is about deepening your own devotional practice.

 

Why This Matters 

Many women feel drawn to herbs.

They collect them.
Dry them.
Cook with them.
Make teas.

But without structure, plant work can become:
• Aesthetic rather than embodied
• Romanticised rather than respectful
• Energetically open without containment
• Or purely medicinal without spiritual awareness

Priestess Codes brings maturity to the relationship.
You learn to work with plants:
• Responsibly
• Devotionally
• Intuitively
• Safely
• And for your own integration

What We Actually Do

You move through 13 sacred herbal allies.

The teachings draw inspiration from:

  • The Nine Sacred Herbs
  • The Seven Saxon Herb tradition
  • Historical plant lore
  • Folk magic and devotional practice

(Some herbs overlap between traditions, forming 13 core plant allies within this temple.)

 

Within the Plant Temple, you explore:

  • Energetic and emotional qualities of each herb
  • Historical and mythic context
  • Shadow aspects (including poisonous and protective plants)
  • Ethical foraging awareness
  • Containment and discernment in plant work

 

You will learn how to create for your own practice:

  • Herbal teas
  • Simple tinctures
  • Infused oils
  • Herbal bath salts
  • Anointing blends
  • Devotional altar preparations
  • Intentional plant-based manifestation rituals

 

All within a framework of:

  • Personal sovereignty
  • Energetic responsibility
  • Ethical plant relationship

This is experiential work.

It is not about leading circles.

It is about deepening your own root system.

The Plant Transmission 

When you enter the Plant Temple, you receive 13 herbal transmissions.


Each one supports:
• Sensory awakening
• Intuitive listening
• Emotional regulation
• Devotional steadiness

The Arc of the Work

 When plant work is unconscious, it becomes decorative.

When it is grounded:

  • Sensory awareness sharpens
  • Emotional steadiness increases
  • Devotional structure strengthens
  • Discernment deepens
  • Confidence grows

This is where plant magic becomes responsible.

Not dramatic.

Rooted.

      • Greater intuitive sensitivity to plant allies
      • Emotional grounding through herbal support
      • Stronger boundaries in ritual practice
      • Deeper reverence for nature
      • A calmer devotional rhythm
