The Elemental Path of the Priestess

Updated: Dec 8, 2025



Each year we offer Our Transformational Workshop for women, a Journey with the Elements. This is a transformative exploration on how to channel the 5 Sacred Elements


In the sacred embrace of the Divine Feminine, the elements - Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Ether - are the living forces that weave the great tapestry of creation. These primal energies pulse through the veins of existence, forming the bones of the mountains, the breath of the winds, the currents of the rivers, the blaze of the stars, and the unseen threads of spirit that unite all things. To walk the path of the priestess is to learn the sacred art of elemental alchemy, aligning our essence with these primordial forces for healing, protection, guidance, and communion with the unseen realms. If you are interested in learning more about our Journey with the Elements Workshop, please contact Renee via text at 604-346-7376 or via email at frejasmagicpotions@gmail.com




Throughout history, priestesses of the Goddess have been the sacred keepers of elemental wisdom. They have danced with the flames, whispered to the winds, anointed with the waters, tended the earth, and communed with the ethereal currents of spirit.



From the temples of Isis in ancient Egypt, where women channeled divine energy through the waters of the Nile…



…to the Celtic Druidesses who called upon the winds and fire for prophecy, the priestess has always been the bridge between the elements and the soul. Today, we reclaim this birthright, remembering that the elements are not external forces but sacred allies within.


Earth: The Root of the Priestess 


Earth is the body of the Great Mother, the fertile soil from which all life emerges and to which it returns. To work with Earth is to root oneself in stability, abundance, and nourishment. The priestesses of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, tended the sacred fields, ensuring the cycles of life flourished in harmony. To align with Earth’s wisdom, we walk barefoot upon her skin, craft talismans of stone and herb, and anchor ourselves in rituals that honor the land. Through Earth, we are protected, strengthened, and reminded of our own resilience.


Air: The Breath of Prophecy 


Air is the whisper of inspiration, the song of the spirits carried on the wind. Priestesses of the Oracle at Delphi inhaled sacred fumes, entering trance states to receive divine messages. The element of Air awakens the mind, sharpens intuition, and opens the gateway to higher wisdom. By working with Air, we harness the power of breathwork, chant sacred incantations, and listen to the voice of the wind for guidance. Through Air, we clear the mind, invite new perspectives, and call forth the whispers of the unseen.


Water: The Flow of Emotion and Healing 



Water is the lifeblood of the world, the sacred mirror of the soul. The priestesses of Aphrodite bathed in sacred springs, invoking love and beauty through the element of Water. It is the current of intuition, the vessel of memory, and the tide that carries us through transformation. By working with Water, we immerse ourselves in ritual baths, anoint our bodies with sacred oils, and surrender to the wisdom of the ocean’s song. Water cleanses, soothes, and heals, dissolving the barriers between ourselves and the divine.


Fire: The Flame of Power and Transformation 



Fire is the radiant force of creation and destruction, the spark of passion and illumination. The Vestal Virgins of Rome tended the eternal flame, understanding its power to purify, protect, and renew. Fire calls us to courage, ignites our desires, and fuels our spiritual awakening. We honor Fire through candle magic, sacred bonfires, and the burning of herbs to cleanse and empower. By invoking Fire, we awaken our inner power, transform fear into strength, and burn away all that no longer serves us.


Ether: The Spirit That Binds All 



Ether, the fifth element, is the unseen thread that connects all things, the space between breaths, the light that infuses all of existence. The priestesses of the Great Mystery worked with Ether through sacred rituals, trance journeys, and deep communion with the divine. This is the element of Spirit, the cosmic web that holds the wisdom of the ancestors and the voices of the goddesses. Through meditation, astral travel, and deep prayer, we enter the realm of Ether, where time dissolves, and we remember our infinite nature.


Walking the Elemental Path


To embody the wisdom of the elements is to awaken the priestess within. Each element offers its own blessings, its own lessons, and its own form of power. By working with them consciously, we align ourselves with the forces of nature, attuning to the rhythms of the cosmos and the whispers of the Divine Feminine. The path of the priestess is one of balance, devotion, and deep communion with the elements that shape our world and our souls.



Through Earth, we stand strong. Through Air, we receive wisdom. Through Water, we heal. Through Fire, we transform. Through Ether, we unite with the sacred. And as we weave these forces into our lives, we become vessels of the Goddess herself, walking with grace, power, and reverence upon the sacred earth.



Blessed be

"The space Renee Boje holds in ceremony is incredible, her ability to connect to spirit and a safe space for women is profound. She is very intuitive which makes her a great space holder and able to tune into the energy in the room and feel where everyone is at is a gift.  Her connection to herbal medicine is so deep. She has definitely been a medicine carrier in other lifetimes. She is extremely  knowledgeable on how to assist women on their healing journey and is also a herbalist. If you have never taken any of her courses or workshops I would highly recommend you do and you will find out for yourself just how special she is"

"I have been involved as a volunteer and member of Renee's church, Ceu das Sereias, for a few years now. My life is radically different from before I became involved. Renee knows how to authentically create a safe and loving space for people from all walks of life, especially women. Her talents are immeasurable and include, but are not limited to; effectively holding space, ceremony leadership, relationship coaching, esoteric and Occult teachings, massage, natural product manufacturing, community leadership, musical direction and the list goes on.

Under Renee's direction and guidance I have been able to heal many traumas from my past, as well as develop my own unique form of manifestation. 

Renee has much knowledge that we may only dream of, and if you have the opportunity to learn from her, you should jump at the chance.

I am grateful to have met Renee in this lifetime and I hope to meet her in the next."

"Renee holds a very loving and safe space, in which I feel so seen, heard, and welcome by her angelic presence. Her abundance of knowledge and experience gained from her own studies, guides and her spiritual teachers is easily felt, and creates a sacred container full of hope, healing, and awakenings. The practices I have learned from being in her circle are ones I will take with me through my life, and the wisdom and acceptance I have recieved from her and the other women in the group has helped me set my heart free. Renee truly is a healer and a wonderful teacher, and I am honoured to be not only learning to heal myself, but how to hold a healing, safe and visionary space for others!"

We honor Paje Putanny Yawanawa in our Ceremonies....

Our Plant Spirit Medicine Society Founder & Ceremony Facilitator, Renee Boje, honours Putanny Yawanawa as her Spiritual Mother. Putanny, along with her sister, Hushahu were the first women to be recognized as shamans in the Yawanawa Tribe, located in the Brazilian Amazon. You may view videos of Putanny & Hushahu below.

 

Renee has a deep Love & Profound respect for the Yawanawa lineage, their Saitis (Sacred songs which carry a healing vibration) & traditions. She is devoted to building a Rainbow Bridge between the Sunshine Coast of BC & the Yawanawa Tribe in the Brazilian Amazon.

We sing Yawanawa Saitis  in most of our Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonies & do a deep study of these Saitis in our Plant Priestess Initiation course. We also recite prayers in the Yawanawa language. Renee is devoted to preserving the sacred teachings of the Yawanawa lineage by sharing all she has learned and continues to learn in her studies with the Yawanawa tribe. Please feel welcome to listen to some of the Beautiful Saitis sung by Putanny Yawanawa in our gallery below. 

Renee & the women of the Plant Spirit Medicine Temple are raising funds to bring Paje Putanny Yawanawa to Canada to hold Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonies & Workshops for the women of our church here on the Sunshine Coast. Our Plant Spirit Medicine Temple also intends to bring a variety of Female Medicine Women here to hold workshops & ceremonies for our community.
