I'm Jo...
Although, since you've found your way here, you probably know me as
The Grail Priestess®
I am an author, artist, mystic, and the architect of The Grail Path. I have been called an Archaeologist of the Soul — but none of those things will tell you very much about me.
I make art because I believe being surrounded by beauty soothes the soul.
I drink builder's tea from delicate china.
Prayer and profanity live quite happily side by side in my world.
I can spend hours contemplating the nature of divinity and still be enormously irritated by bullshit masquerading as wisdom.
I believe in reverence, but not solemnity. In beauty, but not perfection. In mystery, but not mystification.
And I have never been particularly interested in becoming less human in order to become more holy.
In fact, I believe the opposite.
For me, spirituality is not the pursuit of transcending our humanity.
It is the pursuit of creating Heaven on Earth by inhabiting it fully.
The sacred does not ask us to amputate the unruly, contradictory, sensual, ambitious, frightened, funny, imperfect parts of ourselves before we are allowed to approach it.
Nothing real about you has to be exiled before you are allowed into the sacred.
That belief sits at the heart of my work.
And, I suppose, at the heart of me.
How did I become a Priestess?
I didn't choose the title.
Spirit did.
You might call it Source, God, the Divine, the angels — the language matters less to me than the experience itself. I experienced it as an initiation, followed by an instruction: I was to call myself The Grail Priestess.
I resisted it for years.
Of course I did. It is an extraordinary thing to call yourself in the modern world, and I was acutely aware of everything people might project onto it.
But eventually I understood that accepting the title wasn't an act of self-importance. For me, it was an act of obedience to something I recognised as greater than myself.
It took me a decade of walking The Grail Path to be given the title, and what came afterwards was an even longer and more intense initiation.
Walking Beside You
Before I ever taught The Grail Path, I had to live it.
For nearly two decades, I have served as counsel to women on paths of transformation and self-reclamation.
What I share through The Grail Path, my writing, and my private work is never simply theory. It is lived experience — forged through devotion, undoing, failure, return, and the continual practice of becoming more wholly myself.
This path isn't about perfection.
It's about truth.
It asks you to meet both your light and your shadow with compassion.
To hold power without domination, and grace without collapse.
Don't put me on a pedestal unless you are prepared to climb up there and sit with me.
We walk side by side, you and I — no matter the circumstances of our outer lives.
Though our paths are not the same, no woman is meant to walk alone.
If you choose to walk with me, know this:
The path will ask much of you.
But it will inevitably replace more than it takes.
