The Path of the High Priestess

The High Priestess is an archetype of the Feminine that comes into the world to reveal to others their own light through the mirror of her presence.
She is the healer who does not use her personal energy but her capacity for containment and silence — creating a sacred space where another may come to know themselves.

The High Priestess is the woman who reminds humanity of its inner divinity. Yet to live her mission on Earth, she must first descend into her own depths — passing through cycles of contraction and expansion, pain, degradation, and self-devaluation. She must reach her inner hell in order to rise again, showing others the path of their own rebirth.

Her archetype is imprinted in the stories of Isis, Inanna, Mary Magdalene, and many more. She carries the frequency of Unconditional Love so that others may learn to love themselves and recognize their own light. She does not fear the darkness, for within her womb lies the mystery of both shadow and light.

From a young age, she is called toward spiritual traditions, rituals, and esoteric knowledge. Her initiation often begins through pain — through abandonment, and at times, through the distortion of her sacred sexuality. But it is precisely through that pain that she awakens. She becomes the living example of the path of self-love, embodying it through each stage of her life.

She recognizes that behind every painful story lies immense wisdom and profound lessons for her mission. She honors every master who has crossed her path, understanding that each one left a mark — an initiatory imprint, a code of light that nurtures her inner power, her womb wisdom, her sharp intuition, and her connection between worlds.

She teaches others how to awaken their natural magnetism and power of attraction through the mystery of the womb — the inner temple that fuels a heart that loves, a throat that speaks truth, and a third eye that perceives true reality.

Her womb serves as an alchemical organ, transmuting pain into wisdom. When others connect with her, she does not absorb their pain; rather, she channels it into the Earth, allowing the Great Mother to transform it into love — or into whatever energy is most beneficial for humanity.

Her path of ascension often begins with painful relationships, for her early life is marked by karmic imprints that prepare her to assist others. She learns to self-regulate, to nurture and validate herself, to accept her essence fully, and to remain faithful to her truth despite rejection.
And she must face rejection — for she incarnates the shadow, the vulnerability that lies within every human being but that few dare to accept. Her mere presence awakens the deepest wounds in others. Yet it is in her silence, her solitude, and her magical inner world that she receives her true initiation as a High Priestess.

She walks through the shadow aspect of her archetype — mothering, nurturing, and giving in an unbalanced way, abandoning herself for the sake of others. Through disappointment, she awakens to the realization that the path is one of self-healing, self-recognition, self-worth, and self-validation.
From that place, she learns to mirror others not through saving or pleasing, but through holding sacred space — containing rather than rescuing.

The feminine energy is the energy of containment: to hold, in stillness and silence, a space of recognition for the other. The light one sees in her becomes a mirror — it can lead them to self-recognition or to self-denial. If they choose to recognize themselves, they grow; if they deny, they flee. But she is no longer wounded by their fear, for she understands it is not rejection of her — it is rejection of themselves, an inability to bear her light, and therefore their own.

Love is an overpowering energy that can blind those who live in self-denial. It intoxicates those who reject themselves. But once the High Priestess transcends her need to be seen, she is no longer affected by others’ fear of seeing themselves.
That doesn’t mean she no longer feels sadness — for she knows love in its truest form, beyond any romantic illusion. She understands that unconditional love is not about losing oneself in the other, but about accepting the other completely — in both light and darkness.

Once she evolves from mothering into containing, her interactions become lighter — not devoid of transformation, for she is pure alchemy — but lighter in energy: less painful, less toxic. She begins to resonate with those ready to walk beside her. The era of abandonment ends, giving way to an era of love, companionship, transformation, serenity, and sacred union.

My name is Lala Gomez, and I was born in Colombia. My spiritual path was initiated in 2004 through Islam, which I studied in depth for many years. Between 2004 and 2012, I immersed myself in the spiritual, mystical, and theological dimensions of the tradition—a study that continued for a decade more as I began to integrate esoteric tools and other schools of thought, including Kabbalah, Astrology, and Tarot. In 2012, I consciously stepped into a healing process that became a turning point in my life. Guided by a natural connection to Reiki, Tarot, and Astrology, I began developing a personal practice rooted in energy work, intuitive insight, and symbolic exploration. Tarot, in particular, became a therapeutic path for inner listening and healing, which I now offer through a method that blends systemic perspectives, subtle energy, and ancestral wisdom. In 2014, I founded islamenespanol.co to share the essence of Islam beyond rigid interpretations. After a decade of transformation, I launched thecircleofhanik.com—a space dedicated to universal spiritual guidance, beyond the boundaries of any single tradition. Currently, I’m developing a sacred method of natal chart interpretation based on the 28 lunar mansions and the Divine Names of God, inspired by the teachings of Sufi master Ibn Arabi. I’m also writing a book on the 99 Names of Allah as living aspects of the soul’s essence and pathways for inner integration.
