Years ago, I was at a retreat when a friend read my numerology through the tarot. She told me I was an 11, which reduces to 2: The High Priestess.

I did not fully understand what it meant at the time, but I could feel the name of this archetype touching something inside me. Looking back, the signs had always been there.

As a child, I loved making pretend potions from plants and leaves outside, creating my own herbal medicines. My favorite game was fortune teller. I loved the Magic 8 Ball, tarot cards, and the feeling of pretending I could read someone’s future.

I did not know then that these were little seeds of the priestess path.

They were ways my soul was playing with ritual, intuition, plants, mystery, and the unseen.

In ancient times priestesses were often consulted by the Kings and Queens. They would use intuition, dreams and their connection with the unseen realms to support and guide the leaders.

These signs are not meant to prove anything or place you above anyone else. Past-life memories are often subtle. They may come as dreams, longings, fears, gifts, or strange feelings of recognition. Whether you believe you were a priestess in a past life, or you are simply beginning to feel called to the priestess path now, let these signs be invitations into deeper listening.

1. You Are Drawn to Meditation, Prayer, or the Unseen

One sign you may have priestess memories is a natural pull toward stillness, meditation, prayer, or altered states of consciousness.

You may have always wanted to feel the Divine directly. You may have been curious about energy, spirit guides, angels, ancestors, dreams, or the space between worlds. Even before you had language for it, you may have sensed that ordinary reality was only one layer of what is here.

A priestess is often one who listens beneath the surface. She knows the space of quiet is alive with guidance.

2. You Crave Relationships With Depth and Meaning

If you were a priestess in a past life, you may have never been satisfied with surface-level connection. Small talk might feel draining, while soul-level conversation feels nourishing.

You want to know what someone is really feeling. You want the honest truth, the tender story, the feeling beneath the words. You may be drawn to relationships that transform you, where both people are willing to grow, soften, and become more real.

This longing for depth is part of the priestess nature. We are not here to perform connection. We are here to create spaces where truth can breathe.

3. You Are Drawn to Ritual and Ceremony

Many women who feel connected to the priestess path have always loved ritual, even before they called it that.

If you grew up in a Christian tradition, you may have been moved by the candles, incense, stained glass, chanting, holy water, communion, or the smell of ceremony more than the dogma itself. You may have felt something sacred in the atmosphere.

As a child, this may have looked like creating potions from flowers and leaves, making little altars, collecting stones, speaking to trees, playing with oracle cards, or pretending to tell the future.

Sacred play often begins young.

The priestess remembers through beauty, symbol, scent, sound, and gesture. She knows that ritual gives form to the invisible.

4. You Receive Guidance Through Dreams

Dreams are one of the oldest sources of guidance and inner wisdom.

If you have prophetic dreams, recurring symbols, visitation dreams, or dreams that seem to carry messages, this may be a sign of priestess remembrance. You may wake with a feeling that the dream was more than a dream. It may feel like an initiation, a teaching, a warning, or a memory from another time.

Not every dream needs to be interpreted immediately. Sometimes the dream simply wants to be honored.

Write it down. Notice the symbols. Ask what it stirred in your body. Over time, you may begin to see a language forming between you and the unseen.

5. You Feel Connected to Venus, the Rose, Beauty, Love, or the Sacred Feminine

Many priestess lineages are connected to Venus, the planet of love, beauty, devotion, sensuality, and sacred feminine power.

In the ancient world, goddesses such as Inanna, Hathor, and Aphrodite carried Venusian themes. Inanna’s story includes descent and return, the mystery of going into the underworld and emerging transformed. Hathor is connected with music, beauty, pleasure, love, and feminine radiance.

You may feel this connection through astrology, through the rose, through Mary Magdalene, through goddess traditions, or through a deep longing to live in devotion to beauty and love.

This does not mean beauty in a superficial sense. It means beauty as a spiritual path.

The flower on the altar.

The song sung with sincerity.

The body honored as sacred.

The willingness to let love transform you.

The path of leaving this world more beautiful than you found it.

6. You Are Highly Sensitive and Deeply Intuitive

Sensitivity and intuition often live together.

You may feel the emotional tone in a room before anyone speaks. You may know when something is off. You may sense what others are not saying. You may cry easily, feel moved by music or beauty, or need time alone to clear your energy after being around many people.

For a long time, you may have thought this sensitivity was a weakness. Perhaps you were told you were too much, too emotional, too intense, or too sensitive.

But sensitivity, when tended well, becomes medicine.

The priestess learns how to ground her field, listen to her body, trust her inner knowing, and discern what is hers to carry. Her intuition is not separate from her sensitivity. It often grows through it.

7. You Have Always Been Called to Gather, Guide, or Witness Others

One of the clearest signs of the priestess path is the instinct to gather.

Maybe this started young with birthday parties, sleepovers, little clubs, ceremonies, or moments of connection. Maybe you naturally became the one others confided in. Maybe you loved creating spaces where people could feel close, seen, and included.

For me, this thread continued into adulthood. When I became a yoga teacher at 22, I immediately felt called to gather other women yoga teachers so we could practice sharing our gifts with each other and gain confidence in teaching. It felt natural. Almost obvious.

Later, when I became a coach, I started my first group coaching program at age 25. From there, women’s circles began to arise organically.

Looking back, I can see this was never random. The impulse to gather women was innate. It was part of my path before I fully understood it.

A priestess is not only someone who has mystical experiences. She is someone who serves. She creates spaces of remembrance, healing, honesty, and devotion. She helps others feel safe enough to hear their own truth.

If these signs speak to you, take a moment to pause.

Place a hand on your heart or womb and ask, “What am I remembering?”

You do not need to know all the answers. You do not need proof of past lives. You do not need to claim a title before you feel ready.

The priestess path often begins as a quiet recognition.

A dream.

A longing.

A calling.

A feeling that you have done this before.

Whether you were a priestess in another lifetime, or whether you are simply awakening to the priestess within you now, trust what is stirring.

The path is simply about remembering the sacred way you were always meant to walk.

With love,
