QUINTESSIA MYSTERY SCHOOL: A 13 MOON™ LINEAGE

Quintessia Mystery School teaches the feminine mysteries of the 13 Moon Mystery School™, founded by Ariel Spilsbury; the 13 Moon™ lineage is an initiation into the Divine Feminine through establishing direct, personal encounters with the Goddess via archetypal consciousness.

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.

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.

These teachings provide a holographic framework to free the mind and heart into an expanded field of consciousness, catalyzing quantum awareness—in service to the union of all beings.

We receive archetypal “light food” that nurtures us to release stagnant energy/wounds that shadow our true embodied nature: love.

We are devoted to the remembrance and embodiment of the Divine Feminine within each one of us … And through this remembrance, we bring the Sacred Feminine into the hieros gamos of sacred union within—with the Noble Masculine outwardly—to re-balance our planet and bring much-needed unity and harmony to all beings.

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

These teachings provide a holographic framework to free the mind and heart into an expanded field of consciousness, catalyzing quantum awareness—in service to unity consciousness on Earth.

We receive archetypal “light food” that radically catalyzes us to release stagnant energy/wounds that shadow our true embodied nature: Love.

ROSA MYSTICA MYSTERY SCHOOL LINEAGE

Rosa Mystica Mystery School was founded by Diana DuBrow and Elayne Kalila Doughty in 2019, weaving their spiritual and blood lineages together, after a deeply mystical experience they shared in Avalon (2017).

In that sacred moment of remembrance, Elayne and Diana took a vow to reignite the lineages of the Scent Priestess, taking the chrism and the art of anointing into modern-day times.

In the Rosa Mystica Mystery School, we honor ourselves as devotional, ecstatic priestesses and daughters of the Goddess, embodying service as the path of love.

We deepen our capacity to embody love and provide transformation by offering the laying on of hands through anointing with sacred oils—blessing ourselves, our beloveds, our families, our communities, and our beautiful, aching planet. We know that anointing is an act of blessing and consecration, a kiss of spirit on the body.

We believe each sacred plant that holds the alchemy of holy oils is a frequency—an aria—that quickens personal and spiritual growth by clearing the body of blockages and stagnancy. Through anointing with the sacred oils, you return home to yourself as a modern-day priestess, recognizing yourself as a Temple of Love, revealing your dignity, nobility, sensuality, and vulnerability with the Magdalene as a guide.

Diana and Elayne Kalila share the spiritual lineage of the 13 Moon Mystery School™, founded by Ariel Spilsbury. Diana also comes from the ancient lineages of the Essenes and the Therapeutae as the mystical traditions of Judaism. Elayne Kalila holds the Celtic and Druid Bandorai lineages, alongside the Magdalene.

OUR TEMPLE

We don’t only have two mystery schools, we are a living, working temple in devotion to the Divine Feminine.

Priestess Presence Temple was founded in 2014 by Elayne Kalila after becoming a focalizer and ordained priestess with the 13 Moon Mystery School™. This was the first time the 13 Moon Mystery School™ teachings became available online, allowing for a global reach.

The Priestess Presence Temple is one of the first online priestess training schools.

Although we began small, we’ve grown into an international sisterhood of nearly 100,000 women … and continue to grow.

It’s a devotional space where we provide public offerings that support you to realign your energy, remember who you are, connect with the Divine with you, and feel the collective resonance of sisterhood.

Our vision is that the temple serves as a sacred space that honors all beings, regardless of gender, and offers a paradigm for living in harmony, balancing the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine in all aspects of our daily lives and world view.

We hope to heal the rifts of patriarchy into a new paradigm of shared co-creation, unity, wholeness, and unconditional love, honoring the sacred within all life as we remember the truth of who we are. This is a co-creative space where we weave new structures and paradigms grounded in the principle of human kindness, serving all beings to offer their greatest gifts in service to the good of the whole.

Our vision is that more beings step forward into the Essence and truth of who they are and offer the gift of this in the world.

We provide this in a myriad of ways, and most often through ceremony.

We have a powerful ceremonial Facebook Temple where we share astrology reports, oracle readings, prayer circles, and the Sanctuary of Grief.

Our second Facebook space is for alumni of our programs. This place offers oracle readings from the Magdalene Rose Oracle deck, deep dives into our self-study courses, and even our temple book, The Sacred Call of the Ancient Priestess.

The temple also hosts free high holy day rituals; all solstices and equinoxes are held by our Hive Council.

We also create potent archetypal quizzes and deepening packages for you to learn more about how the Divine Feminine lives within you.

Diana DuBrow

In 1990 I had a dream that changed the course of my life. Until this time I had worked as an intuitive consultant, and aromatherapist leading Dancing with the Goddess women’s groups and dolphin swims. Then I had a remarkable, lucid dream in which I was taken to an ancient temple and initiated as a priestess. I was told “May the priestess remember, and may she call her daughters home.”

After this dream I studied healing traditions and cross cultural spiritual practices, ancient goddess initiations and ancient priestess ceremonies and healing practices. This is when I came upon the use of essential oils as more than medicinal tools. I soon discovered their deep, transformative spiritual properties.

From that point on I began to combine my intuitive healing work with essential oils developing an Anointing technique that would lead my clients home to themselves, home to their hearts and their essential nature. My intention was to bring my clients to their own intuitive voice rather than having them rely on mine. Soon after I was led to a sacred site in Hawaii, where I was further awakened to my calling. I began to have visions of an Emerald Temple, representing both a physical site as well as an energetic center in the heart. I have now created the Emerald Temple to teach anointing techniques and offer holy oils that are of the highest frequencies and vibrations.

Today, I am the founder of the Emerald Temple anointing technique used for healing, consecration and celebration, blessings, rites of passage, and end of life sacraments. My line of anointing oils are used all over the world for both individuals and professionals. In Penngrove, California I run my private intuitive counseling and Anointing practice, and teach the Scent Priestess anointing training program.

In all that I do, I acknowledge love as the most sacred force in the universe. I dedicate myself and my work to the service of that love.

Land Acknowledgement

The Priestess Presence Temple & School of Sacred Arts is located on the
unceded and traditional territory of the Nisenan Tribe.

We honor this ancestral land and its original people. We give thanks for our ability to hold the space for this temple on their sacred land.

The area of Nevada City, California, where the temple resides, was repeatedly taken from the Nisenan people, without compensation or regard for the lives of the original people; and now, they have no land left.

The temple acknowledges it is on the ancestral homelands of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe. The Temple acknowledges we are settlers here—that we live, love, and work on land the Nisenan never ceded.

To help amend the tragic legacy, the temple provides a monthly contribution to recognize the sovereignty of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan and acknowledge their historic relationship with this land, their ancestral homelands. We give to CHIRP—CALIFORNIA HERITAGE: INDIGENOUS RESEARCH PROJECT. It was created to research, document, preserve, and protect California Indigenous Nisenan culture.

We are committed to translating spiritual concepts into devoted service and walking our talk.

The temple commits to being an anti-racist, inclusive space that honors all diversity. This includes: looking at and dismantling our privilege in all aspects of systemic racism, white supremacy, and institutional/cultural imperialism, while alchemizing the truth that we, too, are One (without bypassing).

As such, we feel it’s crucial to be informed of colonialism’s past and ongoing consequences.

We encourage everyone to learn about the history of the lands they’re on and support Indigenous resistance here and across Turtle Island.
