In Weret Hekau, students will explore the history and myths of Nekhbet, Wadjet, and Isis, gaining perspective on ancient and modern devotion, revealing what’s been hidden within themselves, and unfurling the power of these ancient goddesses in their lives. Nekhbet, the vulture mother of Upper Egypt, and Wadjet, the cobra mother of Lower Egypt, symbolize protection, regeneration, and divine sovereignty. Through a combination of historical study and spiritual practice, this training illuminates sacred knowledge, aiding Priestesses on the path of spiritual transformation. By embracing devotion to Isis of 10,000 Names, you will:

• tap into the inner plane of timeless wisdom that is your birthright

• find your unique expression of divine service as a Priestess of Isis

• recognize the deeply ingrained universal and cosmic patterns inherent in all world mythologies

• attune to a cosmological paradigm that supports coherence in your devotion to all of the spirits, guides, ancestors, or deities you serve

Your classes will offer a rich exploration of ancient Egyptian history and myths, emphasizing the reality and symbolism of the Nile, the desert, and sacred theriomorphic beings. You will study texts, hymns, and stories that reveal how these goddesses were honored in temples and rituals across Egypt, and ways in which you can bring them to life in your practice.

In addition to theoretical and historical knowledge, the program includes hands-on exercises, such as creating devotional altars, performing traditional invocations, and engaging in creative and ceremonial projects designed to bring you into direct communion with Nekhbet, Wadjet, and Isis. These practices will help you build profound relationships with the goddesses, allowing you to experience their guidance and protection firsthand.

When the training culminates, you will be initiated as a Priestess in the House of Light, an Iseum (Temple of Isis) within the Mount Shasta Goddess Temple. This initiation represents the full integration of the spiritual and magical teachings received throughout the course, and the commitment to serve Isis. As ordained Priestesses, students will be empowered to lead ceremonies, conduct rituals, and embody the mysteries of Isis and her sister goddesses in their lives and communities. You will step forward as beacons of ancient wisdom, rooted in the lineages of ancestresses Lady Olivia Durdin-Robertson (founder of the Fellowship of Isis) and Lady Loreon Vigne (founder of Isis Oasis Sanctuary).
