A WELCOME LETTER
Dear star soul sister, So our journey begins. Activation pods have been created on lei lines all around the world waiting for your arrival. It is you who helps those who come seven generations after you breathe life into the new world on this planet. It is you who honor the seven generations that have come before you by being deeply invested in living life fully on earth while accessing the mysteries of life through the stars. It’s time to remember. Remember how to be the Cosmic Warrior Priestess. The Warrior Priestess Magazine to the muggles may look like another pretend to be esoteric, goddess-inspired, beautiful looking downloadable PDF. But to the badass sorceress, mystic, medicine woman, witch, healer, shadow worker, lightweaver, this is a magic palimpsest - earlier writing by the high priestesses with transmissions directly from the Goddess that has been not erased but encoded. So read between the lines dear sister. Allow the words, the experience, and the act of dropping down and in unlock your energetic system. Much of what will happen will be subtle and incomprehensible. This is the way of a weaver. For we are here to spin new life including new ideas, new forms, new economy, new business concepts, new relationship-with all living things. This month, in honor of the conception of the Warrior Priestess Training, we start with the basics where it all began in our physical form; the soles of our feet. Get ready. Find your pod. Activate your lei line. Let’s go on a journey.
With love, Sora

You live in a world where complex thinking is celebrated. To prove your worth, one must sound incredibly intelligent or create a new, mind blowing practice or solution.

These fundamental teachings then encode into your DNA and restructures your entire programming. You will realize that this uncomplicated structure actually reveals its layers, one after another. What your mind finds easy, you begin to locate the rich layers underneath them allowing your whole body to understand through natural, 3-D, life experiences.

Open Sacred Space.
Drop in and reflect. First, take the time to listen to your body without writing anything down. We then invite you to return to this practice throughout the month and uncover the layers of these questions we pose.
It’s time for your soul reflection As a warrior priestess, we remind you that your body has been made with perfection. We say this not only from the perspective that you should therefore love your physical body as a whole, but as a way to remind you to engage with it as a piece of technology that has been created with a divine purpose.
Notice how you are feeding yourself. Notice if you are nourished. Vibrant. Mentally clear. Energized. Notice where you are malnourished. Dull. Foggy. Deactivated. How do you FEED? • Your physical body • Your mental body • Your emotional body • Your ethereal body • Your Spirit • Your Soul
Today we shall show you, having you engage with your feet. Dear sisters, we told you we would start at the beginning, and the soles support the soul. Activation will begin upon entering the Warrior Priestess Training.
Would you say sometimes it’s through high vibrational means while other times it’s not? It may be through your relationship with food, exercise, bypassing an emotion, forgetting, removing yourself from your body, misdirection, shame, judgement, manipulation, etc How does it show up for you? 10

TUNE IN
In beauty, may I walk. All day long, may I walk. Through the seasons may I walk. May I walk in peace. May I walk in peace. On this path, may I walk. Through my life, may I walk. In old age, may I walk. May I walk in peace. May I walk in peace.
Chorus: May I walk. May I walk. (repeat 6x) May I walk in peace. May I walk in peace. In joy, may I walk. In love, may I walk. In gratitude, may I walk. May I walk in peace. May I walk in peace. In stillness, may I walk. In forgiveness, may I walk. In loving kindness, may I walk. May I walk in peace. May I walk in peace. Lyrics by Karen Drucker

Your healing practice this week is to listen to this song and walk. Walk barefoot around your home. Walk outside. Walk to the sounds of nature. Walk to the rhythms of the earth. Walk in honor of Pachamama. Walk your prayer. Walk and listen to your soul. Walk and feel the information of your heart. Walk for love. Walk for those who are moving through the shadow. Walk for your relationship to divine light. Walk.

PROFESORA PRIESTESS
Rachel Adams SACRED RHETORIC: DISCERNING YOUR TRUTH
Rachel is a word trickster, storyteller, and wisdom seeker. She teaches, writes, reads, and thinks about rhetoric, ethical communication, and intersectional activism. Her core values are transparency, personal multidimensionality, inherent worth, communal self-responsibility, radical transformative love, and deep belly laughter. Rachel loves all things deep and rich: books, coffee, conversation, communing with Mama Nature, puppy snuggles, and heart-to-heart hugs. What does being a warrior priestess mean to you? To me, being a warrior priestess means being fiercely true to my path, embodying a priestess ancient sacred rituals of connection and communion with the grace, intuition, and devotion of a warrior spirit. How do you desire to be of service? I desire to guide people as they align their lives with discernment, integrity, and wisdom, to build healthy communication and sacred activism. What do you fear? I fear disconnection and meaninglessness... as I deepen into shadow work, however, what’s been coming to mind when I think about fear is Marianne Williamson’s thought that “our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” So I’ve been looking at fear like a two-sided coin: if on the surface I’m afraid of disconnection, underneath that is a deep craving for, and therefore some fear around, soul-communion. How do you show up with a courageous heart? I show up with a courageous heart by living in a state of fierce grace: giving myself and others space to learn and grow, but holding firm boundaries and expectations so that our growth benefits and nurtures each other. What are 3 words that embodies your essence? My essence is calm, gracious wisdom.

Listen to the Audio: TUNE IN
What stories do you regularly tell yourself that you accept as being true/logical/”sensical” without questioning or examining them? Basics of rhetorical communication: Introduction to the three classical rhetorical appeals, ethos, pathos, and logos, and examining how these tools can help us understand ourselves and our communication with others. Symbolism: Using rhetorical concepts of context and kairos to unpack the function of symbols in our daily lives, and understanding how symbols function on a personal, cultural, and universal level. Visual rhetoric: Applying the principles of classical rhetoric to our increasingly visual culture, helping discern the way images both create and reflect meaning… and how we can change our world by changing what we decide to see.
