Esse quam videri - to be, rather than to seem
Meet Awen, or Priestess
I’m Awen- Gaelic for inspiration.
With over ten years of experience in ritual, magic and meditation
(including meditation on the edge), I bring a potent brew of skill and perspective to any experience.
I have been a practicing druid for over 13 years, having led and partaken in countless group rituals over that time and having taught dozens of workshops on various aspects of my practice- read more about that here.
I currently reside in Dallas, Texas, but travel semi-frequently to Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, and the occasional other odd location
I am a devoted weight lifter and certified personal trainer, I enjoy being in front of and behind the camera, and I am a massive enthusiast of history, classical music and Western culture.
When it comes to my non-gym disciplinary skills, I spent years of my early twenties in Los Angeles personally apprenticing to more experienced dominatrices, attending classes, industry events like DomCon, and building my practical skills at alternative clubs like Bar Sinister, Soft Leather and Threshold perfecting my “aim.” Priestess was not a title I gave myself, but the honorific I earned after two years of apprenticeship in a house: after devoted, embodied study and application of the practical skills, studious understanding and perspective befitting a domme, I was granted the honorific of graduating from “Lady” to “Goddess.” I chose instead Priestess, as it more accurately represents what I do as a druidic dominatrix.
I favor a psychological, occult and high-protocol approach to kink: recognizing the power of words as evocation, restriction as potential, and action as enactment of myth.
While I am happy to meet sincere, respectful inquirers where you are, I am not a service top— and I will sooner direct you elsewhere than accept a session or potential collaboration that doesn’t appeal to me. I look for sincerity, curiosity, and a truly submissive, seeking spirit.
I enjoy devotees for whom service is its own reward, who are spiritually edified by confrontational and cathartic experiences as guided by a psychopompic avatar of the goddess.
