A six-month program to become a certified priestess - devote yourself to holding space, creating and leading rituals, and facilitating transformation through
pleasure, shadow + spirit
The patriarchy is crumbling… and the new paradigm is crying out for priestesses to lead the way.
The time is now to take up your soul calling.
You’re wanting to take your work to the next level. Maybe you’re already doing some coaching or holding circles or full moon events, or you’ve been curious about doing so.
And now you’re ready to add ritual and circle facilitation, mentorship, astrological insight, and intuitive spirit work to your offerings, informed by sacred pleasure as the true calling of the priestess.
You know how powerful ritual has been in your own life - your morning ritual, lunar rites, and goddess ceremonies make you feel more connected to spirit and to yourself than you ever did sitting in church, or even when you were pretending not to be woo or spiritual at all.
You also yearn for a flavor of devotion that feels rooted in the wild, the taboo. You know that your own body, your pleasure, and all your big emotions are sacred - and you’re sick and tired of the patriarchy trying to convince you otherwise.
You’re answering the call and taking on the mantle of priestess - because that role has always been yours, just waiting for you to claim it.
You’re ready to do the work you know you’ve always been meant for:
❤️🔥 Spiritual leadership that invites you to own your deepest truths and identities, not hide them away.
❤️🔥 A business that thrives most when you feel resourced, rested, and cared for - not in hustle mode.
❤️🔥 Sharing your gifts with your community to create alternative economies that actually center women+ and queer folks, rather than disenfranchise use.
I used to roll my eyes and look on the title of “priestess” with disdain.
Hi, I’m Tenae Stewart, the Witch of Lupine Hollow! I’m a practicing cottage witch, a certified astrologer, and author of three books on magick, self-care, astrology, and plants.
I’m also a self-initiated priestess… and that would shock a younger version of me as I used to hate that word.
It read as religious, hierarchical, and cringy to me.
But in the last few years, I’ve claimed all sorts of identities I never thought I would. I came out as bi, started living my best polyamorous life… and now I lead rituals at sex parties.
And my perspective changed on what it means to be a priestess, too. What I used to see as patriarchy rebranded as feminist paganism… now I see as an essential tool for dismantling the current ugly paradigm and building a new one that centers diversity, community, and reverence for nature.
I’ve had a successful business as a witch and astrologer for ten years and have generated over a million dollars in revenue.
But in 2025, I made a big change: I pivoted a big part of my work to claiming my role as the Dark Moon Priestess and focusing more and more on pleasure, sacred sensuality, and sex magic.
It was scary AF - both professionally and personally. But I’ve become a more fully authentic and fully expressed version of myself and have continued to have six-figure success in the new era.
Something I know to be true with my entire soul: the world needs more priestesses and priestexxes, more people tapped into their bodies and their intuition, leading us towards spiritual alignment.
A decade ago, I would have shrunk from the calling myself but now?
I’m honored and rebelliously delighted to help lead the charge.

Trust your intuition and the signals from your body so deeply that you always know what you’re meant to do next
Understand how ritual, devotion, pleasure, intuition, and more show up in your astrology chart so you can create practices that are natural and aligned for you
And what if you could bring all of this wisdom to your clients and community as well?
Facilitate rituals and ceremonies for groups or individual clients - online or in-person
Understand the cycles of the seasons, moon, and planets to guide you in creating rituals that are aligned with the current collective energy
Create, tend, and make offerings at altars to hold sacred space for your community

These programs are friendly for astrology beginners.
There are elements of astrology woven throughout the priestess program, but you don’t need to have a strong knowledge already. We will mostly be introducing some basic concepts and weaving in some archetypal understandings of the planets and zodiac seasons.
If you choose to do both the priestess program and the astrology program, you’ll be learning everything you need to know about reading charts and working with the planets in the astrology program from March to August 2027.

Yes! Although we use the term “priestess”, we also use it interchangeably with “priestexx” and occasionally “priest”. Being a priestess is not specific to a certain gender identity, expression, or sexuality. In fact, many priestesses in ancient cultures were specifically gender diverse!
Tenae, our guide and priestess and the founder of these methods, is a cis woman who is bisexual and polyamorous, which absolutely informs her work as a priestess as well.
Our live programs are available to all women+ and queer and trans folks.
