THE MEDICINE WOMAN
The Sonoran Desert awakened my inner medicine woman. Her plants showed me their medicine and the wind whispered her mysteries. The desert, once an ocean, feminine in nature and now a place of fire. There is a reason stories of vision quests take place in deserts. The desert strips you of self and like the snake who dwells on her lands you shed, emerging anew. The Superstition Mountains were my ally upon moving here from the coast of California. Longing for ocean medicine, I submerged myself in nature and discovered the Ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens). She told me she was the coral reef of the desert and was medicine for the waters of the body, the wombs of the divine feminine. She told me to find my teachers, they would come. I listened and found an apothecary, SW Herb Shop, near my home. I took their courses with incredible Crone herbalists and apprenticed with them for a year. Submerging myself into the plant realm, medicine making, formulation, and client consultations. As time passed, other teachers came: Asia Suler, Rosemary Gladstar, Susan Weed, Sajah Popham, Elliot Cowan. Through Asia, Rosemary and Susan, I tapped into herbs for the womb. Through Sajah came herbal alchemy, medical astrology, and from Elliot plant spirit medicine. My love for herbalism is unique to my relationship to the plants, as I feel with every herbalist. I now use my knowledge of herbalism to assist women with womb healing and full body vitality. The plant path has led me on a sacred journey back to Mother Earth, to my ancestors and to my body. Loving her fully and understanding her magnificence. My mission is to help other women do the same by mentorship and training as I feel it is our birthright to hold and pass this wisdom.
THE WOMAN
Mexican and Salvadoran decent, born, and raised in Burbank California ancestral homelands of the Tonga peoples. I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness until the age of eleven. I grew up in a family devoted to being of service to God and prayer technologies. As a child I communicated with spirit daily and studied the bible, community was a big part of growing up. To this day, although I do not resonate with the patriarchal ways of religion, I am grateful for the deep connection with the divine at a young age and feel it created a foundation for my work today.
I met the love of my life the summer going into my senior year of highschool. He has always supported me in love and my entrepreneurial spirit. Longevity Meal Prep was my first business at the age of 26 for four years. Longevity was a successful organic meal prep, meal delivery, service. I had clients all over Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Malibu.
In divine union now for 18 years Tim continues to be the divine masculine pillar in my life. We have three beautiful children who we homeschool. Liam,Luna and Rose my little starseeds that have awakened my gifts and purpose. Through childbirth and coming into the Mother this sacred right of passage, I realized how incredibly powerful I was as a woman, a creator of life. The rite of passage from maiden to mother awakened my inner medicine woman and mother priestess, the creatrix, the warrior, the queen, the mystic and the alchemist.
The woman I am today is devoted to my family and being of service to the collective, mother earth, divine union, god/goddess, holy father/holy mother. I am a humble student of the Oracle temple art mysteries, the plants, kemetic mysteries, divination, hermetic Qabalah, a Magdalene rose priestess living a life of the beauty way. I am Eternal Womb.
THE PRIESTESS
The Rose whispered , "You are the Priestess, the Mary, the Magdalene, the Goddess in all her forms and names. Awaken child and awaken your sisters." The rose initiated me on the Priestess Path through plant spirit journeys, showing me the way, bringing me the teachers, mentors, initiators to step into this work of the Priestess. A Priestess walks and channels the upper and lower realm, the natural and divine realms. Her womb the oracle, the middle world, birthing nations. She is an ally and student of mother earth, she is mother earth and cosmic womb embodied. In humble devotion to higher learning. Forever living in integrity, love, from the heart for all and bestowing beauty wherever she goes. She does not fear the dark because she is the fertile darkness. I, Cassandra, walk the left hand path (divine feminine), in devotion to love, art, beauty. Creating mystery schools such as The Pythia Priestess School of Mysteries to initiate priestesses so that my sisters may awaken from the deep slumber that has been cursed upon us. We are unspelling, we are rising sweet sisters, it has begun.
