Level IV Information
High Priestess Training
For Public Ministry
Whom is this course for?
This course is open to graduates who have completed all three levels of White Moon Teachings, either through an online school or face to face with a High Priestess of The Order of The White Moon. (See our Practitoner's Directory.)
If you are a Traditions of the White Moon Level III Graduate interested in becoming an ordained minister, joining the Order's leadership council, and opening your own public ministry, this course is for you. Ordained ministers of the Order are empowered to pass on Traditions of the White Moon Teachings; however, this is not required. You will be designing your own ministry. We strongly recommend that you have some idea of the shape you want your ministry to take before you sign up for this course.
As an ordained minister of the Order, you must swear to uphold the Order's Traditions without reservation, not only in your own ministry but also in guiding any students you take on. Please read these carefully before applying.

During this course, you will personalize, plan, and prepare for your public ministry. At the end of the course, by concensus of the Ordaining Council, you will receive a green High Priestess cord and will receive ordination in The Order of The White Moon, enabling you to legally minister to the public. You will also be able to list your ministry free of charge in our Practitioner's Directory.
This course will guide you through ethical issues, spiritual leadership dilemmas, refining your own beliefs, financial planning, structuring your ministry, and making your ministry available to the public. You will read a text, complete practical lessons, and will share your questions and ideas with our current High Priestesses (whose Council you will join at your ordination). While most people interested in this course plan to teach and/or to lead circles, your own ministry may cover one or more of the following areas: divination, healing, prayer, leading public rituals (such as weddings), and/or crafting spiritual products.

You will need a letter of authorization from your High Priestess certifying that you have completed the entire Three-Level, 13-month White Moon course.
You will need a text. We use The Spiral Dance (any edition) as our basic text, but your own ministry may call for a more personalized text selection. Consult with the Ordination Council if you are unsure.
You will also need to have a fairly specific idea about what type of ministry you wish to pursue, at least to begin with. You should feel ready to begin this ministry within 6 months. While most ministries can be begun at low cost, you should plan on having $50 - $200 to invest in your ministry to get started.
The fee for this course is US-$50 (which includes ordination fees).
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
