Priestess Mission Statement:
Priestess Ariel is a being of joy - one who radiates, shines, shimmers, and
sparkles her light out onto the universe in focused hope of personal and
collective liberation. Her dream vision that she is daily mani-wombifesting is a
world of expansive gender where out beyond the ideas of binary we receive the
gifts of full human potential. As a grounded and rooted wanderer and adventurer
she travels the globe working for economic, environmental, and racial justice,
gender and sexual liberation, and is always at home. She embodies the spirit of
being true to who you are, of loving yourself completely, of creating happiness for
herself and others, of being connected to her body that bleeds and of honoring
this blood and Priestessing others to do the same. She is an Orier - a carrier and
shiner of light. She is an archer with her arrow pointed, the bow pulled back, and
she is flying glitter shooting out everywhere rainbows of justice, love, light, and
joy. She is a deep listener, transformer, radical lover of life, spontaneous, playful,
imaginative, creative, faerie, connected connector, writer, performer, dancer,
educator, activist, artist, edge species, queer fabulous, gender liberation
movement leader, facilitator creating spaces for people to show up as their full
self and explore all they are, ritual leader, one who states her desires, fiercely
vulnerable, and one who brings magic to the mundane. Ariel is a Dream
Prophetess and interpreter. She is a lovelutionary who fully believes that her
work and journey is in thanks to her ancestors, the earth, and Goddess. She is a
child of the Universe and deeply connected to earth and land and gives thanks to
this land that holds Kohenet that held her Grandmother and holds her mother,
father, sister, Kohenet sisters, lovers, and her. She gives gratitude to the plants,
animals, and especially the trees.
