What is a Priestess?

This post comes to us from April C. Taylor, one of the Temple Priestesses. She was asked to respond to the question of how as a Priestess she self-defines. "I consider myself a Priestess in all areas of my life. It is an active defining force that I embody. At times I am the Priestess in a class or ritual in a very outward way while other times I am a Priestess in much subtler ways. When I teach young children or provide customer service in my work for example, I am tending the energy and well-being of others. It is mystical and magikal, practical and everyday all at once and I treasure the paradox. It is powerful and empowering. I often sing the Kali's Angel song, "Born Priestess" because this idea really speaks to me. I was born to do take this identity and embody it fully." Do you self-identify as a Priestess? How does this inform your life's work? We'd love to hear your response. For more on Kali's Angels: http://home.earthlink.net/~cedarsongs/kalisangels/
