Is your soul silently sending you the signs that you are a High Priestess or Priest? Have you ever felt a deep, soulful connection to the Divine that runs deeper than anything else? Perhaps you’ve tuned into gifts or insights that feel ancient and sacred. If you resonate with these feelings, you may carry the energy of a High Priestess or Priest—an individual devoted to bridging the earthly and spiritual realms. This sacred calling has roots across lifetimes, dimensions, and incarnations, and its energy often reveals itself through unique signs.
Below, we’ll explore seven signs that may signify you’re meant to embody the path of a High Priestess or Priest. Take a moment and see which ones align with your deepest truths.
The High Priestess is the vessel for divine energy. She serves as the bridge between the Heavenly and Earthly realms and has a strong, inbuilt sense of leadership. Some people feel the call by the Goddess that marks the beginning of exploring themselves as a High Priestess or a Priest.
One day, She calls you. And you can’t ignore it anymore. The Goddess usually asks you to devote your path to spirituality and step into a leadership role. As a High Priestess, it feels like God and Goddess are your employers. What other people think holds less and less power over you, and you simply know you need to devote your life to the spiritual work.
The call is a part of the feminine awakening. And there is another deeper layer to it. The souls I’ve walked the path with inside my Priestess Healing program are priestesses and priests who have done this sacred “job” for millennia. In most of their past lives, their souls have been medicine women, shamans, healers, priestesses, and spiritual leaders. Therefore, being a High Priestess is something deeply woven into their soul.
Although the 7 signs of a High Priestess describe both, I want to clarify the distinction between a priestess and a High Priestess.
The High Priestess is the teacher and a leader. She has finished her lunar and solar initiations. She is overlooking the spiritual development of priestesses, and she embodies the divine energy – think Isis, Sekhmet, Laskhmi, and others. The High Priestess charges up the circle of 12, holding the central role. Priestess is the spiritual adept, devoting herself to the daily temple work. She has been initiated into the Lunar mysteries but is still waiting to step into the Solar initiations.
The heartbeat and the first sign of a High Priestess is her divine connection. You feel most at peace, most “at home,” when communicating with higher energies. Whether through meditation, dance, art, or silent reflection, you channel the energy of the divine into your life and the world around you. If you’ve always felt like this connection is your lifeblood—the one thing you cannot live without—it’s a powerful indication of your role as a vessel for divine energy.
Do you find that spiritual insight often comes to you in vivid dreams or imagery? As a spiritual teacher guiding people through ascension, I see the tell-tale sign of a High Priestess and Priest as the gift of clairvoyance.
I’ve never met a High Priestess without the gift of clairvoyance. High priestesses and priests typically possess the gift of clairvoyance, the ability to see into other realms or dimensions. These visions can manifest as deep dreams, visualizations, or spontaneous imagery that offer guidance and understanding. If your imagination feels like a portal to a higher realm or your visions have always informed your life decisions, you may be tapping into this sacred gift.
The High Priestess is the Seer, whereas the priestess is the Oracle.
Since clairvoyance is your strongest gift, you must learn to interpret your visions correctly. Not all of them are meant literally, and not all are meant for others; as you acquaint yourself with this gift, you’ll become a powerful guide and leader for others.
The next sign of a High Priestess is that many of your spiritual gifts are naturally awakened. The High Priestess is the house of your gifts. Therefore, the souls with the High Priestess and Priest energy appear to be multitalented and become quickly good at almost anything.
High priestesses and priests often embody a broad spectrum of spiritual gifts. This could include strong intuition, energy healing, manifesting through spoken word, or even shifting the energy in a room simply through your presence. Becoming aware of your spiritual gifts may feel like a natural unfolding, and each gift you discover connects you more deeply to the sacred work you are destined to do.
The High Priestess is the embodiment of your most refined spiritual gifts. She is a blend of spirituality, leadership, and divinity.
As a High Priestess with strong spiritual gifts, you must learn to stop hiding and get comfortable sharing your gifts with the world. There are lifetimes of persecution for being visible to heal so that you can fulfill your purpose as a vessel for the Divine.
The next sign you are a High Priestess is a strong desire to fully embody your soul’s power. As much as you’re afraid of being in your power, you crave it because the High Priestess in you is done hiding.
You feel called to align entirely with your higher self and the divine will, bringing your authentic energy to the physical world. This path can feel challenging, requiring you to move beyond your comfort zone, but the pull to act in alignment with your highest purpose is too strong to ignore. This yearning may guide your soul to remember who you are if you’ve felt this inner call to rise into your most empowered self.
The fifth sign of a High Priestess is that you are a visionary at heart. Even if life’s challenges have paused your path, a bold, sacred vision for your life has likely always lingered in your heart, pulling you forward.
This vision is a reflection of your divine destiny—it calls you to share your spiritual gifts, help others awaken, and embody a dream that feels both awe-inspiring and, at times, daunting. If this resonates with you, trust that your vision is worth pursuing, even if the path requires patience and persistence.
Your vision likely includes helping others. Be it through retreats, spiritual centers, or counseling. Your soul is always drawn to be in the service of others. Therefore, you must learn to face your fears of judgment, projections, and being misunderstood.
Priestesses and priests have historically walked a path of independence. While navigating deeply aligned relationships and communities, they remain sovereign beings.
This independence allows them to channel divine energy freely and without compromise. If you’ve always valued your freedom to grow spiritually, learn, travel, and express your sacred gifts on your own terms, this autonomy reflects a key sign of a High Priestess.
Sovereignty feels like sweet nectar to your ears if you are a High Priestess. Each of your cells desires sovereignty, and you wish it for others, too. You’re not here to create a hierarchy in your spiritual leadership. You’re here to walk side by side with others and co-create.
One of the most beautiful signs of a High Priestess or Priest is their ability to uplift and inspire others. This isn’t always through spoken words—it can manifest through art, dance, teaching, or simply the energy you embody.
Divine energy flows through you, bringing healing, clarity, and inspiration to those around you. If you’ve always felt drawn to serve, elevate others’ vibrations, and help them connect to their highest selves, you’re likely embodying this sacred archetype.
If these traits resonate with you, consider it an invitation to deepen your exploration. Whether this is a fleeting chapter in your life or a soul purpose carried across lifetimes, stepping into your high priestess energy offers profound opportunities for growth and transformation.
