Elayne Kalila Doughty

Elayne Kalila Doughty teaches the mysteries of the Divine Feminine. She holds a master's degree, trained as a marriage and family therapist, and has been ordained as a priestess in two lineages: the Avalonian 13 Moon Mystery School and the Rosa Mystica Mystery School. Earlier in her life she wrote and directed theatre with prison inmates and ran programmes for women facing hardship. The Priestess Presence Temple, an online sisterhood she founded in 2014, now numbers tens of thousands of women.

Through the Priestess Presence mystery schools, which she founded and leads as dean, she trains and ordains women as modern-day priestesses, working with ritual, ceremony, archetypes, shadow work and embodied practice. Mary Magdalene is a central figure in her recent teaching, together with the myrrhophores, the lineages of scent-priestesses who anointed with holy oils. Her offerings include self-paced courses, year-long online initiations, retreats and pilgrimages; she also hosts The RED Podcast and created the Magdalene Rose Oracle deck. Some of her Magdalene courses can be found on The Shift Network.
