There comes a moment on the spiritual path when the old language stops working.

Words like self-improvement, manifestation, or even awakening begin to feel too small for what is actually unfolding. Something deeper is stirring — something ancient, embodied, and rooted in remembrance rather than optimization.

In this episode, Bertena explores the Divine Feminine, goddess wisdom, and the priestess path as three expressions of the same living lineage — a way of knowing, naming, and embodying the sacred within ordinary life.

This is not a discussion of trends or spiritual identities. It is an invitation into embodied wisdom, cyclical living, archetypal understanding, and ethical spiritual maturity.

You’ll learn:

  1. What the Divine Feminine truly represents as a way of knowing
  2. Why goddesses appear across cultures as archetypal mirrors
  3. How the priestess path is lived through responsibility, integrity, and embodiment
  4. What it means to walk a sacred path in the modern world without hierarchy or performance

This episode is for those who feel called beyond surface spirituality — into remembrance, alignment, and lived devotion.

Profile picture for Bertena Varney

Bertena Varney

Bertena is a spiritual teacher, priestess, and intuitive guide who blends ancient wisdom with grounded, modern insight. She is the creator and host of The Spiritual Sanctuary, a podcast devoted to the Wheel of the Year, Divine Feminine wisdom, goddess traditions, ritual, meditation, and soul-aligned living.

With decades of experience as a college educator and a deep background in spiritual studies, Bertena brings a rare combination of academic depth and embodied spiritual practice to her work. Her teachings weave together seasonal spirituality, priestess paths, somatic awareness, tarot and oracle wisdom, and contemplative ritual—always with an emphasis on empowerment, discernment, and personal sovereignty.

Bertena is the founder of the Ancient Arts of the Priestess Academy, where she offers self-paced courses, seasonal lessons, and immersive spiritual education rooted in the cycles of nature rather than hustle culture. Her work is especially supportive for women seeking a slower, more meaningful spiritual path—one grounded in trust, rest, and inner authority.

Through her podcast, courses, and writings, Bertena invites listeners into a sanctuary space where wisdom is remembered, not rushed, and where spiritual growth unfolds in its own time.
