13 Moon Practitioners

Meet our 13 Moon Ordained Priestesses & Focalizers

ABOUT 13 MOON MYSTERY SCHOOL LINEAGE

The 13 Moon Mystery School™, founded by Ariel Spilsbury, is an initiation into the feminine mysteries through establishing direct, personal encounters with the Goddess via archetypal consciousness.

Having intimate experiences with the Goddess through archetypal frequency—in a disciplined and rooted way— creates vibrational alchemical transformation so that shifts in consciousness can take place.

We believe we must fully embrace the Divine Feminine within us, and bring her into the hieros gamos of sacred union with the Noble Masculine to bring much-needed unity and harmony to the planet.

ABOUT 13 MOON™ PRACTITIONERS: ORDAINED PRIESTESSES & FOCALIZERS

The Ordination & Focalization Path is not a lightweight commitment with a rubber-stamp completion.

Our Ordained Priestesses & Focalizers have demonstrated that they walk as a vessel of empty presence, in service to the Goddess, and thus can alchemize and transmute through their presence and love alone. This is the feeling harmonic that is recognized as the 13 Moon™ lineage.

13 Moon™ Priestesses have honed their lineage gifts so they may offer themselves in service to the awakening of the One Heart with clarity, integrity, and devotion.

Elayne Kalila, founder of the Priestess Presence School of Sacred Arts & Temple, has been the Initiator & Focalizer of these practitioners, training them extensively to be modern-day priestesses.

These incredible Ordained Priestesses & Focalizers have been held accountable within a dedicated sisterhood. They’ve experienced disciplined, rooted initiations into the cycles of life, death, and rebirth through direct contact with archetypal energies. Now, holding a feeling harmonic that’s in resonance with the 13 Moon™ teachings, they’ve taken a vow to walk as love, as Priest/esses of the Goddess.

Stories from Sisters on the 13 Moon Priestess Path

PRACTITIONERS TRACK

ORDAINED PRIEST/ESS

Our Ordained Priest/esses have been through rigorous initiation. They can perform rites of passage, including marriage rituals.

Unless they’re also Focalizers, they will not initiate, ordain, or teach the works of the 13 Moon Mystery School™.

FOCALIZERS APPRENTICES

Our Focalizer Apprentices are individuals who have petitioned to experience rigorous mentorship with Elayne Kalila so they can become Focalizers. To petition as an apprentice, one must have completed at least 3 years of training within the 13 Moon Mystery School™; and, if not already ordained, in preparation to become ordained.

Apprenticeship is an individualized, deep commitment.

Apprentices serve in devotion during online temples and in-person initiatory retreats, developing specific skills to ground and transmit the 13 Moon™ teachings.

FOCALIZERS

Our Focalizers have completed the most rigorous path in the 13 Moon Mystery School™, becoming a lineage bearer of Ariel Spilsbury’s work.

This includes ordination and extensive tutelage/apprenticeship with Elayne Kalila, or another lineage bearer, who has been personally ordained by Ariel to carry on the 13 Moon Mystery School™ transmissions.

Dummy

This includes certification and tutelage/apprenticeship with Diana DuBrow.

They are lineage bearers of the Scent Priestess protocols, aligned within Rosa Mystica Mystery School, and may continue to offer their gifts through teaching or transmitting the sacred art.

The Focalizers listed here have apprenticed with Elayne Kalila and in some cases, with additional lineage bearers.

They’ve experienced many gateways of personal initiations and inner work to stand as clear, grounded Initiators. They’ve deepened their gnosis and embodied understanding of alchemical transformation so they can— with integrity—initiate, ordain, and teach others the 13 Moon Mystery School™ work.

Focalizers have the responsibility to hold the “sword of truth” with love, integrity, and authenticity.

This degree of training is akin to a Ph.D.; it’s the most outward expression as an emissary to the Goddess, becoming Her Initiator and initiating others with the sword of truth and love.

Guiding Principles

01 Inner Alchemy & Shadow Work

We believe that before you can effectively create & hold sacred space for others, you must experience the alchemy that comes from personal initiation & shadow work.

03 Devotion & Service

We believe that after personal shadow work & becoming highly skilled at holding resonant, coherent space for self and others, you can enter a deep commitment to being in devotional service.

02 Resonance & Coherency

We believe that after a sufficient amount of inner alchemy/shadow work so that you can hold yourself through challenges, you can begin to hold space for others in a resonant & coherent way.

How our Practitioners Walk in the World

Our Ordained Priestesses & Focalizers have willingly experienced extensive gateways of personal growth and spiritual maturation to such a degree that they experience their initiations as an alchemical transformation not only for themselves, but for the collective.

My own experience in the cauldron has burned away nearly all the remaining residue of fear and inauthenticity. I trust my sisters, because I’ve learned to trust myself more. I feel safer in the world, not because the world has changed, but because I have changed. These are but a few of the amazing side effects of the medicine ETM brings to your world.
