Embodying the Myrrophore 2025-2026
Donna, Myrrhophore (oil-bearer) Priestess of Brighde-Brigantia-Sulis, the Rose, the Bee and the Womb, Sister of Rhiannon and Yogini-Shakta-Tantrika, weaves together all her work and studies of the last 20 years into a journey around the Wheel of the Year with the seasons, and sacred oils that support that part of the year, to enable and support you to fully step into the role of Myrrhophore Priestess.
