Ha! Fooled you!. Coven of the Mother Mountain Aerie does not have a High Priestess. We take turns as priestess-teams in facilitating our seasonal celebrations. Although some of us have favorite seasons, or a particular priestess-team is well suited for facilitating a particular celebration, we try to challenge ourselves by alternating priestess-partners and seasons. By doing so, every ritual has a different flavor, sometimes familiar, sometimes exotic, sometimes spicy or bland, but hopefully, always with substance and satisfaction.
And the Priestesses Are:
Barbie Dream Weaver
Barbie is a new age agnostic who believes that the divine can be found anywhere she looks. She enjoys expressing her goddess through music composition, art, energy channeling, and has a penchance for the tarot, herb gardening, computers, figuring out what makes people tick, and dreaming. Barbie earns her living as a chemist and considers herself a total and irrefutable science geek. One of the founding priestesses of COMMA, Barbie is also the coven webweaver.
Brigid Silverwolf
Brigid Silverwolf, like many COMMA members, was a scientist by profession, now retired. She is also a lesbian, a volunteer in animal rescue, and a Tellington-touch practitioner. She enjoys a good sheepdog trial, a good workout, or a good book (especially about ancient history or life in the Universe). One of the founding priestesses of the coven, Brigid Silverwolf’s spiritual inclinations have a definite Nature flavor. She loves all her animals, but considered a now-passed Border Collie named Boudicca to be a special familiar.
