The Daughters of Ishtar Pledge

We, the Daughters of Ishtar, do lovingly continue the work of restoring sacredness to our embodied experience as women, affirming that it is in each of us, by virtue of our womanhood, to be Her priestess.

This we pledge out of love for ourselves, our sisters and She Who Is, Was and Shall Be
– so that the blessings of Her life-giving juices may flow, restoring the world in beauty and bringing healing to the Earth and all Her creatures.

PRIESTESS PATHWAY

About Us

Daughters of Ishtar embodies a sacred feminine stream of blessing which honours and holds the whole of women’s lived experience as sacred – the luminous moments of love, joy and self-transcendence as well as the dark and potent places of despair, rage and birthing power.

Daughters of Ishtar is about opening doors to ancient and primal mysteries of female embodiment and the feminine creative process, in a form that’s accessible & relevant to the contemporary world.

The work of the Goddess begins in the heart. Our devotional ceremonies and shared spiritual practices open the possibility of direct personal experience of the Feminine Divine. Our shared intention, and the sacred temple spaces we co-create, are designed evoke potent energies of healing and transformation for our own lives and for our world.

The mystery school and its ceremonies are open to women of all ages and life-stages who wish to deepen
their connection with the Feminine Divine. Whatever your existing religious/spiritual affiliations may be,
your curiousity, open mind and open heart are most welcome.

About Ishara

Catherine Ishara de Garis is a priestess, teacher and healer with a proven ability to open and hold sacred space for women’s healing and transformation.

Daughters of Ishtar originated as a practical expression of her personal vocation as a priestess of the Great Mother.

My work with the women’s mysteries is informed by a strong belief in the value and power of life-affirming, grounded spirituality, emotional authenticity, and the sisterhood of women.

My hope is that, in its own small way, Daughters of Ishtar can make a positive contribution to the evolution of sustainable local culture and a peaceful world.
