Many people say they hate history—and honestly, that breaks my heart.

As an historian, former high school and college history teacher, and lifelong lover of ancient history, I understand why people feel this way. Too often, history is taught as a lifeless collection of names, wars, rulers, and dates to memorize. But real history is filled with sacred stories, powerful women, ancient goddesses, spiritual traditions, political struggles, acts of resistance, and people searching for meaning.

History is not separate from the priestess path. It is one of its foundations.

In this episode of Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine, I explore why understanding history, mythology, and cultural context is essential for anyone studying goddess spirituality or answering the call to become a modern priestess.

We look at the stories and traditions surrounding Inanna and Enheduanna, Isis, Demeter and Persephone, Hecate, Brigid, and Oshun. These sacred figures teach us about initiation, grief, transformation, healing, protection, creativity, leadership, cultural respect, and the responsible use of spiritual power.

We also discuss why goddesses cannot be reduced to simple keywords or inspirational sayings. Aphrodite is more than romance. Sekhmet is more than anger. Hecate is more than a dark-moon aesthetic. Isis is more than motherhood. The goddesses are powerful, complicated, and sometimes contradictory—and that complexity has something important to teach us.

Knowing history helps a priestess understand where spiritual practices originated, how myths changed over time, whose voices were preserved, and whose stories were ignored or erased. It also teaches us how to distinguish between an ancient source, a later tradition, a modern spiritual interpretation, and something received through personal intuition.

All of these can be meaningful, but they are not the same.

In this episode, we also explore cultural appropriation, colonization, living spiritual traditions, historical evidence, primary sources, mythology, ritual, divination, spiritual discernment, and ethical priestess leadership.

History does not take the magic out of spiritual practice. History gives the magic roots.

A Question to Carry With You

What would it mean for you to become a better spiritual ancestor?

The communities we create, the language we normalize, the people we welcome, the boundaries we uphold, and the teachings we pass forward will become part of someone else’s spiritual inheritance.

You do not have to memorize thousands of years of history to walk the priestess path. You simply need to remain curious, ask thoughtful questions, honor your sources, and be willing to keep learning.

Opening and welcome

[Opening music fades in]

Welcome, beautiful souls, to Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine. I am Bertena, and today we are talking about something I love so much that I have built classrooms, courses, stacks of books, and probably an unreasonable number of conversations around it. We are talking about history.

Now, before half of you quietly reach for the skip button, stay with me. I know what some of you are thinking: “Bertena, I came here for goddesses, intuition, ritual, and priestess wisdom. Please do not surprise me with a pop quiz about dates.” I promise there will be no pop quiz. No one needs to remember which king signed which treaty while wearing which uncomfortable hat. You may put your number-two pencil away.

But if you feel called to the priestess path, the history of the Divine Feminine is not an optional pile of dusty facts sitting beside the real spiritual work. History is part of the spiritual work. It helps us understand where our practices came from, how goddess stories changed, whose voices were preserved, whose voices were silenced, and why certain beliefs still shape us today. History helps a modern priestess develop discernment, cultural respect, spiritual depth, and a more honest relationship with the sacred.

I say this as someone who is both an historian and a lover of ancient history. I taught history in high school and college, and I know exactly why so many people say they hate it. Too often, history is presented as a long hallway filled with dead men, wars, dates, and locked doors. Someone stands at the front of the room, recites names in a voice designed to induce sleep, and then asks students to memorize everything by Friday. That is not history at its best. That is information storage with fluorescent lighting.

Real history is alive. It is human beings trying to love, worship, survive, create, lead, give birth, grieve, heal, make meaning, and understand forces larger than themselves. It contains temples and kitchens, royal courts and village wells, public ceremonies and private prayers. It contains power, resistance, devotion, fear, hope, contradiction, and imagination. When we approach it with curiosity, history is not boring at all. It is sacred storytelling with evidence.

And yes, mythology belongs in this conversation too. Myths are not simply silly stories ancient people believed because they did not have the internet. Myths carried cultural memory. They explained relationships among people, land, seasons, ancestors, rulers, deities, birth, death, and transformation. A goddess myth can reveal what a culture feared, what it honored, how it understood feminine power, and what kinds of behavior it wanted to encourage or control.

And if you have ever said, “I hate history,” I lovingly invite you to amend that statement. Perhaps you do not hate history. Perhaps you hate the way someone taught it to you. Those are not the same thing.

Why history gives a priestess roots

Let us begin with the word priestess itself. Today, people use it in many ways. For some, it describes a formal religious office. For others, it names a spiritual identity, an archetype, a calling, a way of serving community, or a path of personal devotion. In my priestess training, it is not a costume, a social media aesthetic, or a title we put in front of our name because we bought a beautiful crown. And I do love a beautiful crown. But the crown is not the training.

A priestess learns to listen, serve, study, discern, hold sacred space, understand ritual, and take responsibility for the energy and information she brings into a community. History helps with every one of those responsibilities.

First, history gives us roots. Without roots, spiritual language can become vague. We may say “the ancients believed” when we really mean one sentence we saw floating across social media. Which ancients? In what region? During what century? Were they members of the elite, ordinary people, temple specialists, poets, colonizers, or people living under colonization? Was the source a prayer, a law, an epic, an inscription, a political document, or the opinion of a later writer looking backward?

Imagine someone two thousand years from now discovering three objects from our time: a wedding invitation, a superhero movie poster, and a grocery receipt. If they combined those three objects without context, they might conclude that we worshiped caped beings, performed sacred rituals involving buttercream, and measured devotion by loyalty points. They would not be entirely wrong about the buttercream, but they would be missing quite a bit.

That truth is especially important in goddess studies. We sometimes want a neat list: this goddess equals love, this one equals war, this one equals the moon, and this one helps you find your keys. Ancient religion was usually more complex than a spiritual customer-service directory. A goddess could be nurturing and terrifying, local and cosmic, protective and destructive. She might be connected with kingship, sexuality, justice, healing, death, fertility, the stars, or the land—all at once.

Knowing that complexity prevents us from shrinking goddesses into inspirational slogans. Aphrodite is more than romance. Sekhmet is more than anger. Persephone is more than “good girl becomes queen.” Hecate is more than a dark-moon mood board. Isis is more than a generalized mother-goddess label. Each deserves the dignity of context.

For me, priestess leadership requires the ability to hold mystery and evidence in the same hands. One hand says, “This is what historians and archaeologists currently understand.” The other says, “This is how the story is speaking to my spirit today.” Neither hand needs to slap the other one away.

That balance is at the heart of spiritual discernment. It keeps us open without becoming gullible, respectful without becoming rigid, and imaginative without pretending imagination is documentation.

Inanna and the responsibility of transformation

One of the most important figures for anyone studying goddess spirituality is Inanna, known in later Akkadian traditions as Ishtar. Her stories come to us from ancient Mesopotamia, a region with a long and complicated history of cities, languages, temples, rulers, trade, conflict, and literary traditions.

Many modern seekers encounter Inanna through the story commonly called The Descent of Inanna. In the story, she travels to the underworld ruled by her sister Ereshkigal. At each gate, she is required to remove an item associated with her power or status. Eventually she stands stripped of what identified and protected her. She dies, is restored, and returns, but her return has consequences.

Modern readers often experience this as a powerful story of shadow work, ego death, initiation, grief, trauma, menopause, identity change, or spiritual transformation. Those interpretations can be deeply meaningful. I have seen ancient stories open doors in modern women that ordinary language could not reach.

But history asks us to slow down before declaring that the myth means only one modern thing. It asks us to consider the ancient religious and literary setting, the larger cycle of stories, the social world, and the complicated character of Inanna herself. She is not a polite little emblem of self-improvement. She is associated with love, sexual power, conflict, political authority, and cosmic order. Her stories can be bold, unsettling, humorous, violent, and contradictory.

That complexity is good priestess training. If we only choose goddesses who behave like perfectly branded life coaches, we are not studying mythology. We are hiring imaginary staff.

Inanna also leads us to Enheduanna, a priestess and poet from the ancient Mesopotamian world whose name is associated with surviving hymns. She is often described as the earliest named author known to history. Think about the power of that. A woman connected with religious and political life composed sacred poetry that still reaches us across thousands of years.

It can also reveal how much gets edited out when a goddess becomes an internet quote. Inanna is not just here to tell you that you are powerful. She may ask what you do with power, what you are willing to release, whose suffering you have overlooked, and what must change after you return from the underworld.

That last question matters. Modern spirituality sometimes loves the descent but rushes the return. We post, “I have been transformed,” and then go back to answering email exactly as before. Mythology reminds us that initiation creates obligations. Knowledge changes how we live, how we serve, and how we relate to others.

That final question is not a limitation. It is a mark of wisdom.

Isis and the many faces of Divine Feminine power

Let us travel to ancient Egypt and consider Isis, whose Egyptian name is often rendered as Aset. Her worship developed over a very long period and eventually spread widely through the Mediterranean world. She appears in stories involving Osiris and Horus, kingship, protection, healing, mourning, magic, and motherhood.

Many people first meet Isis as the devoted wife who searches for and restores Osiris, or as the mother protecting the child Horus. Those are important aspects of her story, but if we stop there, we risk making her into a one-dimensional symbol of ideal womanhood. History shows us a far more expansive figure whose meanings grew and traveled.

The stories associated with Isis can teach a priestess about sacred speech, perseverance, protection, grief, restoration, and the intelligence required to navigate systems of power. She is not powerful because she never suffers. She is powerful in the way she responds, gathers, remembers, protects, and acts.

This matters because modern discussions of the Divine Feminine can accidentally repeat narrow roles. We say we are recovering feminine power, then define that power only as nurturing, softness, beauty, and endless emotional availability. Apparently the sacred feminine never gets tired and always remembers to bring snacks.

History refuses that small box. Goddesses have been connected with warfare, law, sexuality, sovereignty, healing, death, agriculture, writing, fate, wilderness, household life, storms, rivers, stars, and the structure of the cosmos. Divine Feminine spirituality becomes richer when we stop asking every goddess to represent the same gentle personality.

The history of Isis also teaches us about religious change and cultural exchange. When a deity moves across regions and languages, images and rituals may shift. Worshipers in different times and places may emphasize different attributes. The question is not simply, “What did Isis mean?” It is also, “To whom, where, and when?”

That is one of the most useful questions in any goddess studies course. To whom, where, and when?

Demeter Persephone and sacred complexity

Now let us enter one of the most familiar goddess stories in the Western world: Demeter and Persephone.

Many people know a version in which Persephone is taken to the underworld by Hades, Demeter grieves, the earth becomes barren, and a compromise creates the seasons. Modern retellings may frame the story as mother and daughter, abduction, coming of age, descent and return, sexual awakening, sovereignty, or the cycle of life and death.

It also asks us to notice discomfort. Sacred stories are not always comfortable. We do not have to turn abduction into romance to make the story spiritually useful. We can acknowledge violence, grief, power imbalance, maternal rage, negotiation, and transformation. A priestess must be able to hold complicated material without polishing away everything that troubles her.

Demeter is often reduced to a grain or harvest goddess, but her grief changes the relationship between gods, humans, and the land. Her refusal has power. She does not smile through loss so everyone else can remain comfortable. For women trained to be pleasant, accommodating, and endlessly productive, that aspect of Demeter can be revolutionary.

Persephone is also more than a passive maiden. Across traditions and interpretations, she is connected with the underworld and its authority. But we must be careful not to flatten the ancient material into a modern slogan like “She went downstairs and discovered boundaries.” I support boundaries. I also support reading the footnotes.

Hecate crossroads and discernment

Hecate has become one of the most beloved figures in contemporary witchcraft, goddess spirituality, and modern priestess practice. She is often connected with crossroads, thresholds, torches, keys, night, spirits, magic, and transitions.

Her popularity makes her an excellent example of why historical knowledge matters. Search online and you will find thousands of confident claims, some grounded in ancient sources, some drawn from much later magical traditions, some emerging from modern devotional communities, and some apparently created during a particularly dramatic full moon.

This does not mean the internet is useless. It means a priestess must learn source discernment.

Hecate’s crossroads are spiritually rich. Crossroads represent choice, uncertainty, transition, multiple directions, and the places where ordinary boundaries become less certain. A priestess often serves at symbolic crossroads: birth, death, illness, awakening, grief, career change, divorce, menopause, initiation, and spiritual transformation.

But a priestess must not rush to direct someone merely because she is comfortable wearing the title. At a crossroads, our role may be to hold a torch, not grab the traveler by the shoulders and choose the road for her.

Knowing the history of religion is therefore not merely fascinating. It is protective. It helps us recognize harmful patterns dressed in beautiful robes.

This is why ethical priestess training needs more than rituals and goddess correspondences. It needs boundaries, consent, cultural respect, trauma awareness, responsible divination, referral skills, and clarity about scope of practice. A priestess is not automatically a therapist, physician, financial adviser, or historian because she owns incense. Sacred service includes knowing when another kind of professional support is needed.

Brigid Oshun and cultural respect

Brigid is another beloved figure whose history invites care. She is associated with pre-Christian Irish tradition, and Saint Brigid holds an important place within Irish Christianity. Over time, stories, customs, places, and devotional meanings have interacted in complex ways.

The study of Brigid also teaches us to respect living cultures. Irish traditions are not an all-purpose aesthetic. Place names, language, colonization, folklore, Christian devotion, modern pagan practice, and cultural identity all matter. A respectful student does more than collect a list of symbols. She listens to scholars, tradition bearers, artists, and practitioners connected to the culture.

That may sound serious because it is serious. But it does not mean you must approach every altar shaking in fear that you will make a mistake. Fear does not create respectful practice; learning does. Ask good questions. Read widely. Credit teachers. Pay people for their labor. Do not claim titles you have not earned. Be willing to correct yourself.

And please do not build an entire cultural identity from a twenty-second video accompanied by ethereal flute music. The flute may be lovely. It is not a bibliography.

I want to speak carefully about Oshun, often written Osun, because she makes an essential point: not every goddess or female divine figure belongs to a vanished ancient religion waiting for modern people to reinvent it.

Oshun is an orisha honored within living Yoruba religious traditions and related diasporic traditions. These communities have histories, lineages, initiations, elders, languages, ritual protocols, and practitioners today. While popular descriptions may associate Oshun with rivers, beauty, sweetness, love, fertility, diplomacy, and prosperity, reducing her to a list of correspondences removes her from a living religious world.

This is where a broad phrase like “goddess spirituality” can become too loose. Categories created in one cultural context do not always fit another. Calling every female divine being a goddess may flatten important theological differences. A respectful priestess student learns the names and categories people within a tradition use for themselves.

History also reveals why African and diasporic religions require special care from outsiders. Enslavement, colonialism, racial violence, and religious persecution shaped how traditions traveled, adapted, protected themselves, and survived. People were punished for practices that outsiders now sometimes borrow because they appear beautiful or powerful.

Learning that history changes the ethical question. Instead of asking only, “What can I use?” we begin to ask, “How can I learn respectfully? Who has authority to teach this? What should not be taken outside its ritual setting? How can I support the people who preserved it?”

A modern priestess path should enlarge our capacity for relationship, not our appetite for collecting sacred things.

How history strengthens intuition divination and ritual

Some listeners may still be wondering, “This is interesting, but how does history help my actual spiritual practice?” Let us make the connection direct.

History strengthens intuition because it gives intuition a larger vocabulary. If you know nothing about a goddess except one keyword, every intuitive message will be squeezed through that keyword. If you have studied several myths, symbols, historical periods, ritual settings, and interpretations, you have more ways to understand what arises.

History strengthens divination in the same way. Tarot, oracle cards, tea leaves, dreams, and other forms of divination rely on symbols, patterns, questions, and interpretation. Symbols have histories. Their meanings can shift across time and culture. Knowing that makes a reader more flexible and more precise.

Suppose a card depicts a pomegranate. You may associate it with Persephone, fertility, blood, abundance, marriage, death, or the underworld. Historical context helps you understand why several meanings may be available. The reading itself asks which meaning fits the question, the surrounding cards, and the person receiving the message.

Discernment lives between rigid memorization and unlimited invention. If every symbol can mean absolutely anything, interpretation loses structure. If every symbol can mean only one thing, interpretation loses life.

History also strengthens ritual. When you know the difference between an ancient ritual, a scholarly reconstruction, a family custom, a contemporary community practice, and a ritual you created this morning while looking for the matches, you can describe your work honestly.

That honesty improves ritual design. You become intentional about what you are doing and why. You can say: This prayer is adapted from an ancient hymn. This movement is my own somatic practice. This altar arrangement is contemporary. This seasonal theme draws from a particular cultural festival. This closing meditation is designed for this group.

How to study history without becoming overwhelmed

Now for the practical part. How do you study sacred history if school convinced you that history is punishment with footnotes?

First, begin with a person or story that genuinely interests you. Do not start by promising yourself that you will understand four thousand years of religion by next Tuesday. Choose one goddess, one myth, one city, one ritual object, or one historical question.

Maybe you begin with Inanna’s descent. Maybe you want to know why Hecate is associated with crossroads. Maybe you are curious about the priestess-poet Enheduanna. Maybe you want to compare ancient images of Isis across several periods. Curiosity is a better doorway than guilt.

Second, create a simple timeline. You do not need fifty-seven dates. Place the main culture, text, or tradition within a broad sequence. What came before it? What came later? Which figures were separated by centuries even though modern books discuss them on adjacent pages?

A timeline protects you from what I call spiritual-history soup: everything ancient floating in the same bowl. Ancient Egypt, classical Greece, Mesopotamia, medieval Europe, nineteenth-century occultism, and twenty-first-century social media are not one historical moment.

Fourth, read a primary source when possible, even if it is only a short hymn or passage in translation. Then read a reliable historian, archaeologist, religious-studies scholar, or translator who explains the context. Finally, read a thoughtful modern spiritual interpretation. Notice what each kind of source is trying to do.

Fifth, keep a two-column journal. On one side write, “What the source or scholarship says.” On the other write, “What this awakens in me.” This practice is simple and powerful. It allows knowledge and spiritual experience to meet without becoming confused.

Sixth, follow the footnotes. I know. Some of you just felt your soul leave your body. But footnotes are not tiny punishments at the bottom of the page. They are treasure maps. They show where a claim came from and help you decide whether the author is building on evidence or enthusiasm.

Tenth, release the need to master everything. Priestess training is a path, not a game show. You are developing habits of curiosity, integrity, and respectful study. You can return to a story many times and see something new.

History and ethical priestess leadership

At the deepest level, history matters because the priestess path involves power.

Even gentle power is power. When someone trusts you with a spiritual question, invites you into grief, receives a reading from you, attends your ritual, or treats your words as sacred guidance, you hold influence. Training should prepare you to carry that influence responsibly.

History offers case studies in how sacred authority works. It shows religious leaders supporting communities, preserving knowledge, tending sacred places, making art, counseling rulers, caring for the dead, organizing festivals, and helping people navigate uncertainty. It also shows alliances between religion and political control, exclusion, economic privilege, fear, and punishment.

The lesson is not that spiritual leadership is bad. The lesson is that good intentions are not enough.

A priestess needs practices of accountability. She needs peers and teachers who can question her. She needs boundaries around money, sexuality, confidentiality, touch, healing claims, and divination. She needs to tell the difference between a spiritual impression and a command another person must obey.

A healthy priestess community does not require people to surrender critical thought. Questions are not the enemy of faith. Consent is not the enemy of ritual. Boundaries are not the enemy of love. Evidence is not the enemy of mystery.

This is the kind of leadership I want priestess training to nurture: grounded, informed, compassionate, self-aware, and willing to keep learning.

Closing reflection and invitation

As we close, I want to return to those of you who believe you hate history.

I want to offer a new possibility. History can be an act of remembrance. It can be a way of listening for people whose voices were nearly lost. It can help us uncover how stories were shaped, how power operated, and how human beings searched for the sacred. It can make mythology more vivid and spiritual practice more grounded.

For a priestess, history is not about performing intelligence. It is about relationship and responsibility.

We study Inanna and remember that descent is complex and return carries obligations. We study Isis and refuse to flatten feminine power into one acceptable role. We study Demeter and Persephone and learn to hold grief, power, ambiguity, and transformation without forcing an easy ending. We study Hecate and reflect on thresholds, discernment, and ethical guidance. We study Brigid and see how traditions live through change. We approach Oshun with respect for living religion, cultural context, and the people who preserve sacred knowledge.

These are not only lessons about the past. They are lessons about who we become.

So the next time someone tells you history is irrelevant to spirituality, remember this: every ritual has a context. Every symbol has a journey. Every translation contains choices. Every tradition has people attached to it. Every story was preserved, altered, forgotten, rediscovered, or reimagined through human hands.

And we are now part of that chain of hands.

[Pause]

I invite you to take a slow breath in.

And release it.

Place a hand over your heart if that is comfortable for you. Feel the life of your own body in this moment. You are living now, but you carry language, stories, beliefs, wounds, hopes, and practices shaped by people you may never know.

Ask yourself quietly: What histories have shaped my spiritual path?

[Pause]

Whose stories do I want to understand more deeply?

[Pause]

Where have I accepted a claim because it sounded beautiful, without asking where it came from?

[Pause]

What would it mean for me to become a better spiritual ancestor?

[Longer pause]

You do not need an immediate answer. Let the questions travel with you.

If today’s episode awakened your curiosity, choose one goddess or one sacred story and begin small. Find the time and place. Read a primary source in a trustworthy translation. Learn what scholars and living practitioners say. Then sit with the story in meditation and listen for its personal invitation.

Let history give your practice roots. Let mythology give it imagination. Let intuition give it intimacy. Let ethics give it direction.

If you feel called to go deeper, this kind of historically grounded goddess study, mythology, Divine Feminine wisdom, ritual, intuition, spiritual leadership, and ethical priestess practice is part of the work we explore through my Priestess Academy and Awakening the Priestess Within training. The goal is not to imitate an imagined ancient past. The goal is to become a wise, embodied, responsible priestess in the world we are living in now.
