WHAT LINEAGE IS THE FEMININE CODE PRIESTESS SCHOOL FROM?
We believe it is important to be discerning when it comes to lineage. Many modern priestess schools draw inspiration from ancient cultures, goddesses, sacred sites, and spiritual traditions. However, inspiration from an ancient tradition is not the same as belonging to a historically documented, unbroken lineage stretching back to antiquity. Many of the priestess paths practised today have been revived, reconstructed, or reimagined in modern times, often drawing on fragments of historical knowledge, oral traditions, personal spiritual experience, and contemporary interpretations.
The destruction and suppression of many ancient sacred feminine traditions have left significant gaps in our historical understanding. We cannot always know precisely what was practised, how teachings were transmitted, or whether a direct line of initiation survived. For us, acknowledging these gaps is not a limitation; it is an invitation to approach the Sacred Feminine with humility, discernment, and reverence.
The Feminine Code weaves together several spiritual paths that have shaped the school’s founding teacher’s journey, studies, and initiations, including Kate Murphy’s Celtic ancestral heritage, the Lineage of the Rose, the Avalonian path, and The path of the Golden Age, associated with ancient Egyptian spirituality.
These influences are brought together through The Sacred Spiral, creating a contemporary path of priestess practice rooted in the wisdom of nature, feminine spirituality, remembrance, and the relationship between the earthly and celestial realms. It is an integrative path that brings together the wisdom, teachings, and spiritual practices of several traditions connected to the Sacred Feminine.
The Feminine Code is an invitation to participate in a living tradition of sacred feminine spirituality and walk the initiatory Priestess Path.
Women of all backgrounds and spiritual beliefs are welcome for the Sacred Feminine is woven into all things.

WILL I INITIATE or Ordain AS A PRIESTESS IN THE SACRED SPIRAL?
The Sacred Spiral is the foundation year of The Feminine Code Priestess School’s multi-year initiatory path. Throughout this year, you will be immersed in the wisdom of the Sacred Feminine, guided through sacred practices and teachings, and invited to deepen your relationship with yourself, Great Nature, and the path of the Priestess.
While The Sacred Spiral offers a profound introduction to Priestess practice, completion of this first year does not, in itself, confer initiation or ordination as a Priestess. These are deeper commitments that unfold over time through continued study, spiritual practice, personal transformation, and devotion to the path.
For those who feel called to continue, The Sacred Spiral lays the essential foundations for further training within The Feminine Code Priestess School, where the journey towards initiation and ordination may continue through subsequent stages of the path.
You do not, however, need to aspire to initiation or ordination to benefit from this work. The Sacred Spiral is equally meaningful for women who feel drawn to explore the Priestess path, reconnect with the Sacred Feminine, and bring these teachings into their everyday lives, spiritual practices, and relationship with the natural world.
We honour Priestesshood as a path of deepening responsibility, embodiment, and devotion, rather than a title to be conferred within a single year. For this reason, we believe that initiation and ordination deserve the time, commitment, and depth of practice they require.
The Sacred Spiral is both a complete journey in its own right and the beginning of a deeper initiatory path for those who feel called to continue. Wherever you find yourself on your journey, you are welcome here.

Can I still participate in the course if I don’t have any prior knowledge or training about the Divine Feminine?
Absolutely. No prior knowledge, experience, or training is required. The Sacred Spiral is a foundational journey designed to welcome women at every stage of their spiritual path, including those who are just beginning to explore the wisdom of the Sacred Feminine and their connection with Great Nature.
Women of all cultural, spiritual, and religious/spiritual backgrounds are welcome. You do not need to follow a particular belief system or have previous experience with priestess practices to feel at home here (and if you do, you will find new depths).
Within The Feminine Code Priestess School, you will discover a global community of women walking the path of the Priestess, each bringing her own unique experiences, perspectives, and gifts. There is no single way to walk this path; your journey will be as individual as you are.
Through profound yet grounded teachings, sacred ceremonies, and studies in the Temple Arts, you will be invited to deepen your relationship with the sacred, reconnect with the wisdom of the natural world, and explore how to bring these teachings into your everyday life.
If you are new to this work, you are warmly welcome. The Sacred Spiral offers a space to learn, explore, and grow at your own pace, opening the door to a deeper connection with the Sacred Feminine and, above all, with your own authentic, sovereign self.

I AM GOING THROUGH A LOT and not sure I have the space for something like this right now - is this program suitable for me?
Absolutely. This program is intentionally woven in a way that you can ebb and flow with the material at your own pace. The priestess path is a non-linear endeavour and every woman's journey unfolds in its own time, there is no rush. In fact, it might take you several years to truly "complete" the journey, but completion is not the point. It is the journey.
Practically speaking, all live ceremonies and teaching temples are recorded and uploaded to the program portal the same day if you can’t join live. (To preserve the intimacy of our monthly Sovereign Sister circles, these calls are live only, and not recorded, but all Teaching Temples and Ceremonies are recorded.)There is limited optional homework and you are able to download most of the seasonal teachings and material as we journey through the wheel so that you may return to them season after season, year after year.
One of the truths we witness is that many women move through unexpected transitions, initiations, and life-altering seasons while they are journeying through The Sacred Spiral. In many ways, this work exists for these very moments, to offer steadiness, remembrance, and support as life reshapes us. You are welcomed here and are not alone.

With numerous spiritual programs available, what sets this one apart and makes it the right choice?
First and foremost, it's essential to acknowledge that there's no definitive "right choice" in this journey. Every experience, be it through a program, coach, mentor, or spiritual teacher offers valuable lessons. What truly matters is the resonance of energy and trust that you feel with your chosen guide for this particular point on your path.
A key pillar of The Feminine Code Priestess School is sovereignty, so we encourage all women to use their potent discernment and inner knowing when choosing to join one of our programs or that of another school. This decision is deeply intuitive and can only be made by you. If you sense that inner calling, then trust that.
That being said, The Feminine Code Priestess School brings forward a very grounded approach to an area that can sometimes feel less tangible to grasp. It is a sacred space where ancient teachings meet your real and wild life. This program and The Feminine Code Priestess School is not bound to any one lineage or dogma, and open to women in all stages of life. Kate is deeply devoted to this path, embodying and practicing all that she teaches and shares. She is in devotion to guiding women to live, lead, and create from the deepest well of their innate knowing and you will feel that expressed in everything you receive in this offering.
This is a space to attune to the unseen, to learn the language of symbols, allies, and archetypes, and to discover how to weave the magick into the mundane. With ritual, ceremony, and temple teachings, you will remember the sacred spiral path and learn to walk it with devotion in your everyday life.

WHAT IS A PRIESTESS?
The Priestess is not easily defined in a few sentences, for Priestesshood is not simply a title or a role, but a path of devotion, embodiment, and lifelong remembrance.
A Priestess is a guardian of wisdom, a keeper of sacred space, a steward of thresholds, a guide through transformation, and a bridge between the seen and unseen. She walks in relationship with the mysteries of life, honouring the cycles of birth, death, and renewal. Through her presence, and devotion, she seeks to embody the way of Love.
The Priestess honours the Sacred Feminine and recognises the importance of balance, unity, and the harmonious interplay of the feminine and masculine. Deeply connected to Great Nature and the rhythms of the natural world, she learns to listen to the wisdom of the seasons, the land, her own body.
She cultivates the capacity to recognise the sacred in herself, in others, and in all of life, remembering the profound interconnectedness of humanity, nature, and the Divine. Her path calls her to walk with reverence, to hold space with compassion, to serve with integrity, and to meet life's mysteries with humility and an open heart.
Above all, the Priestess is devoted to living her wisdom rather than simply knowing it. She is continually learning, unlearning, and deepening her relationship with Love, Truth, and Harmony, seeking to bring these qualities into the way she lives, the way she relates, and the way she serves the world around her.

Can you really learn Priestessing online?
Absolutely. While there are aspects of the Priestess path that can be enriched by gathering in person, much of this journey unfolds through inner exploration, spiritual practice, embodied wisdom, and the deepening of our relationship with the sacred. These dimensions can be meaningfully explored and cultivated within an online space.
The online setting offers its own unique gifts. It allows you to engage with the teachings from the comfort and privacy of your own home, creating a personal sanctuary in which to learn, reflect, and integrate. You can move through the material at your own pace, revisit the recorded teaching temples and ceremonies as often as you wish, and return to the wisdom throughout the year and beyond. If you are unable to attend a live teaching or ceremony, the recordings allow you to remain connected to the journey.
Throughout the year, there may also be opportunities to gather in person, bringing an additional dimension of connection and shared experience to the work. Yet the online Sacred Spiral offers a rich and meaningful journey in its own right, allowing women from different places and backgrounds to walk this path together.
Sacred sisterhood is at the heart of the Priestess path, and it is not limited by geography. Within The Feminine Code Priestess School, our online community, The Red Thread, creates a space for women around the world to connect, share their experiences, ask questions, and feel witnessed and supported as they journey through The Sacred Spiral together.
You do not have to be in the same room to walk beside one another. The Priestess path is ultimately lived and embodied in the world beyond the teachings, and the online journey offers a way to carry its wisdom into your everyday life, wherever you are.

How can one balance the demands of a busy life with the sacred path of the Priestess?
The Priestess path is not about stepping away from your everyday life; it is about learning to meet it with greater presence, intention, and connection to the sacred.
In the midst of a busy schedule or a demanding season, The Sacred Spiral invites you to cultivate a more rooted and grounded way of moving through the world. Through temple teachings, rituals, ceremonies, and spiritual practices, you will explore ways to weave the wisdom of the Sacred Feminine into your everyday life, nurturing a deeper connection with yourself, Great Nature, and the rhythms that sustain you.
Rather than asking you to add more to an already full life, this journey invites you to reflect on how you spend your time, where your energy goes, and what truly nourishes you. Through the exploration of balance between the feminine and masculine, rest and action, giving and receiving, you can begin to discover a more harmonious and sustainable way of being.
If you are feeling stretched thin or overwhelmed, we invite you to meet yourself with compassion rather than another expectation. What is your heart asking for in the midst of the busyness? What might change if you made a little more space for yourself, your spiritual nourishment, and the wisdom of the natural world?
We also recognise that time and capacity look different for every woman. The Sacred Spiral has been designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to engage with the teachings at your own pace and in a way that honours your circumstances. This is not an intensive course that requires you to absorb everything within a short period. It is an embodied journey that unfolds over weeks and months, with teachings you may continue to revisit and integrate for years to come.
While live ceremonies and teachings take place on scheduled dates, recordings are available if you are unable to attend. Much of the material can be explored in your own time, giving you the freedom to find a rhythm that works for you.

Will I get instant access to all the course materials?
In alignment with the seasons, the course material is released with each turn in the Wheel of the Year.
The rhythm and pace at which you navigate the materials are entirely under your control and the heart of this transformative journey resides within you. Thus, it's paramount that you progress at a pace that feels most aligned with your needs.

What happens if I miss the live sessions?
A recording will be uploaded to the Sacred Spiral portal the same day of each recording of the live ceremonies and teaching temples, so that you can watch in your own time, as many times as you wish throughout the year and a day journey.

Will I get the chance to connect with the community?
At the core of Priestessing is the art of creating and nurturing communities. You will have the wonderful opportunity to meet and connect with remarkable women hailing from diverse corners of the world, each bringing a rich tapestry of professional, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds.
The Red Thread is our online community forum for all women in The Sacred Spiral to connect with each other, share what’s on their hearts and witness other sisters’ as they express. The Red Thread is accessible 24/7 on the portal.
Sovereign Sister Circles are our live monthly calls where we gather to witness and be witnessed. Like all calls in the journey, joining is fully optional, however, there is great power when women come together and feel safe to be fully seen and met exactly where they are at. To protect the intimacy of what is spoken in our calls, Sovereign Sister Circles are kept unrecorded.
Like all of The Sacred Spiral, sharing in community is completely optional, you are welcome to share and connect with others as much as your heart desires. As the wheel turns you may have seasons where you feel more comfortable being seen than other times in the Spiral where solitude is your healing balm. However, it is important to note that immense healing occurs when women gather and are held in community. You are welcome and are not alone in The Sacred Spiral.

I'm truly drawn to the Priestess School, though I'm currently facing budget constraints. Do you offer any payment plans or scholarships?
At the heart of the Priestess Path lies a deep teaching about energy exchange and reciprocity. When you choose to step fully into The Sacred Spiral, you are not only investing in your growth but also making a sacred offering to your own becoming. There is a unique power in committing wholeheartedly to your path. Many women find that the act of making this investment becomes an initiation itself, a signal to the soul that you are ready to rise into a greater version of yourself. At the same time, it is essential to honor your own situation and trust your inner wisdom about what feels right and sustainable for you. We invite you to consider not only the practicalities but also the profound value of saying yes to yourself in this way, knowing that the path of the Priestess will meet you with equal devotion.
The School holds a strong belief that this wisdom should be available to as many people as possible, and we wholeheartedly understand that financial challenges can sometimes be a barrier to that accessibility. Our vision is to empower women to find freedom in all aspects of their lives: financially, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. We are confident that this program will exceed your expectations upon registration.
We honour the privilege of receiving these teachings by helping keep the path open to those who are called to it. Each year, financial grants are offered to women for whom financial circumstances would otherwise make participation out of reach. Reach out to hello@priestessschool.com to apply.

Is it possible to obtain a refund?
Please be aware that all sales are final, and refunds are not provided. We genuinely believe that our community and content will offer you a profoundly enriching and soul-nurturing experience. If you have any questions or concerns about registering for any of The Feminine Code Priestess School’s offerings, please feel free to reach out to us via email at hello@priestessschool.com.
