EAGT Priestess / Priest Training Course
Become a Priestess or Priest of Andraste
The Goddess Andraste is the ancient Goddess of the Iceni tribe, and beloved of Queen Boudicca. She was worshipped in East Anglia, as far as Epping in Essex, where once a Sacred Grove was dedicated to Andraste, and further South into mid Kent.
EAGT runs three spirals over a three year period. Students start on spiral one and progress through the years.
However, a student may choose to only do spiral one and then take a break or not pursue further spirals - the choice is theirs.
​
The course is run online, via zoom. Dates are given for the whole year ahead starting in October each year.
There is always an in-person gathering at the end of the year to which students are expected to commit to attend.
​
Assignments are set at each Festival throughout the year and support is available from Priestess of Andraste Tutors.
​
Led by Christine who trained at Glastonbury Goddess Temple and is a Priestess of Avalon. In 2014 she
dedicated as Priestesses of Andraste. Fellow tutors are Carolyn, Emily, Clare, Keziah, Nina and Jesse who are all experienced Priestesses of Andraste.
