Welcome. I'm Briaa.

Founder of Ascending Priestess. Shamanic Witch. Ritual Weaver. Intuitive Practitioner.

Ascending Priestess was formally named in 2021, but the practice behind it began long before there was a name, a business, or anyone watching.

For more than a decade, I have studied and practiced ritual, energy work, intuitive arts, earth-based spirituality, ancestral practices, and the many ways we learn to listen inward.

Those practices matter to me deeply. They create ways to explore what we know mentally, experience it through the body, and put it into practice in ways we can actually feel.

The tools matter. The practice matters. How we meet ourselves within it matters.

Because this work isn't only about understanding yourself. It's about remembering, discerning, building trust, and learning to live what you know.

What I do

I create spaces for remembrance. Spaces to quiet the outside noise, listen more closely, and recognize what is yours beneath everything you've learned to carry.

Maybe hearing your own voice has become difficult. Maybe you know something needs to change but can't quite name what. Maybe you understand yourself intellectually but still struggle to trust yourself when it's time to decide, set the boundary, receive, change direction, or simply say no.

That's the work:

Remember. Discern. Trust. Embody.

Not once, but again and again as life changes.

I call myself a Ritual Weaver because there's no single formula for how I do this. Conversation, tarot, energy work, ritual, sound, reflection, and intuitive practice can all become part of the experience.

The tools change depending on what we're exploring.

The intention remains the same: creating space for you to remember, discern, trust, and ultimately live what is true for you.

What I believe

I believe good spiritual work should make you more capable of trusting yourself, not more dependent on the person facilitating it.

I don't believe every uncomfortable feeling means you're broken. And I don't believe someone else's intuition, including mine, should automatically outrank your own experience.

There's room here for uncertainty. For changing your mind. For questioning. For not knowing yet.

Self-trust isn't believing you're always right. It's knowing that even when you're unsure, you don't have to abandon yourself.

I will meet you in your humanness.

But meeting you where you are doesn't mean leaving you there.

I'll ask the harder question. I'll name the pattern that keeps circling back. I'll encourage you toward the uncomfortable thing when something in you already knows it's time. I'll offer what I see honestly, even when it might be easier not to.

But the choice will always remain yours.

I won't promise to have every answer, and I won't tell you that every difficult season means there's something wrong with you.

What I will offer is my full presence, the depth of what I've studied and practiced, and an intentional space to explore what's actually here.

You don't need me to know you better than you know yourself. My role is to help you look honestly, listen deeply, and strengthen the trust you have in yourself.

That is Ascending Priestess.

A place for remembrance.

Training & Apprenticeship

My work has been shaped by more than a decade of personal practice, study, mentorship, and formal training across ritual, intuitive arts, energy work, earth-based spirituality, and psychedelic practice.

I believe training matters, but credentials alone do not determine someone's ability to guide an experience where something honest can actually surface. My approach is informed by training, lived practice, experience, ethics, discernment, and continued learning.

I don't believe this is work you ever finish learning.

I will always consider myself a student of the earth, of intuition, and of the traditions and teachings I have been trusted to learn from. To me, this path asks for humility, respect, continued learning, and an understanding that there will always be more to listen to than there is to master.

My training informs how I hold space. It does not make me the authority on your experience.
