The Trivium
This inspired series of trainings led to the founding of the Crossroads Goddess Temple. Grounded in an animist, earth and Goddess-centered cosmology, this priestess path leads students through the mytho-magical realms to connect to the world of Nature, perceive the mystical fabric of time and space, and engage the realm of Spirit with devotion and intention. While each course can be taken individually, the series taken in sequence is the requisite for becoming a priestess of the Crossroads Goddess Temple.
-
We begin on the Path of the Wolf, reclaiming our inner “wildish” selves by immersing in the mythology, magic, and natural life of the earthbound Wolf. This course invites us into spiritual relationship with the Wolf—humanity’s oldest companion, protector, and guide—teaching us to return to and reorient ourselves through our preternatural senses, with the goal of cultivating courage and self-knowledge for what lies ahead.
-
Next we journey into the Cosmic Matrix of serpent mysteries with the elementals, nature guardians, snake spirits, and world goddesses of Serpentina. Here, we learn to lift the veils between worlds, uncovering the hidden patterns of creation, destruction, and transformation that carry us through our earthly incarnations. This course broadens the priestess’s perception, intuition, and relationship to the fabric of the Cosmos.
-
Finally we arrive at the Trivium, the threshold that leads to Hekate, traveling to her through the earliest myths and literature, the regions of her historical cults, and the evolving significance of her essence and worship through the ages. In this final immersive year of training, we gather the knowledge, tools, and materia magica of the priestess, learning the traditions associated with her worship as well as practicing modern devotional rites and cultivating our individual relationships with the Goddess. This yearlong course culminates with a final devotional project and taking vows as priestess of Hekate.
The Trivium comprises 18 months of continuous study and practice. The series begins in late September 2026 with Path of the Wolf, continues in 2027 with Serpentina from January through March, then launches into the yearlong Saffron Cloak program just after the Equinox, culminating with taking vows as a Priestess of Hekate in March 2028. In addition to the course content of each module, there will be 2 connecting sessions examining the specific relevance of Path of the Wolf and Serpentina to the greater arc of Hekatean practice.
Students are welcome to register for each class one at a time, or sign up for all three at once and receive a 15% discount on tuition for the Saffron Cloak.
