INTRODUCTION

I am a Priestess of Brigantia, Spiritual trainer, Ceremonialist, Oracle priestess, Guide of sacred walks, Shamanic Drummer and Mediator. Ever since childhood I’ve been very aware of my spirituality. This resulted in a long term journey into Christianity, Nature, Gnostics, Healing and the Ancient Ways.

My journey with Goddess began in 2001, when I was bed bound for a time and started reading books about Wicca. From there I came to go the first Goddess conference in Glastonbury in 2003. She spoke to my soul and I realised She had been with me all my life. I started training as a priestess and initiated in 2005.

Since then I’ve co-organised the Dutch Goddess Conferences, train priestesses myself, run workshops, priestess at the Glastonbury Goddess Conferences and lead ceremony. My passion lies in serving Goddess as a priestess of Brigantia, priestess of the Land and the Wheel. Through my love for Goddess I wish to bring Her love and light, Her wisdom, healing and abundance into the world and into people’s lives.

I do speak English and Dutch fluently,

I do understand German and French.

WALKING THE LAND

The isle of Avalon is a very special magical part of the world. The land is drenched with myth and legend and so is the town of Glastonbury. One of my passions is connecting with the land, nature and Her stories. Walking the land for me is connecting with Goddess, mother Earth and all Her elements. By taking people on walks I hope to help them make this connection, through the path She offers, through the tales She tells, through ceremony, through the beauty of nature.

Walks start from Glastonbury town centre and can lead to different parts of the Isle of Avalon, depending on the time of the year and of course your wishes! Providing transport we can also travel away from Glastonbury to explore places like Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill..

BESPOKE CEREMONIES

On the journey through life there are many moments to celebrate special events. By celebrating in a ritual or ceremonial way you can make these events even more meaningful, life changing and memorable! I offer a personal approach (for many spiritual paths) in helping with the preparation and celebration of these ceremonies. I do this by taking you through the possibilities, implementing your personal ideas and wishes and finally preparing for and leading the ceremony.

Ceremonies:

HANDFASTINGS Celebrating and consolidating the love between two people in a beautiful and profound way;

CHILD BLESSINGS Welcoming a new born in your life and in the world, which could include for instance blessings by loved ones, name giving and 'baptising' ritual;

RITES OF PASSAGE Marking the important step into a next phase in life, either for boys/girls into man/womanhood (menarche), or significant times in someone's life (like a 50th birthday);

BURIAL RITES Honouring of a loved one, celebrating their life and saying farewell to a loved one who has moved on in a respectful personal way;

HOUSE BLESSINGS Cleansing and blessing a new home, by bringing in your personal energie(s), intentions and wishes;

or any event you want to celebrate…

BRIGHDE TRAINING

Becoming a Priestess or Priest of Brighde is all about reclaiming and celebrating Brighde as Goddess of the Land, as Goddess of the Wheel of Time and as Goddess within yourself. It is a journey of healing, connecting and walking with Her animals, the Swan, the Snake, the Cow, the Wolf, the magical Unicorn and Phoenix. It is expressing Her energy through poetry, songs and creativity, weaving your soul’s desire into being. It is experiencing and being Her Soul’s fire and shining it out into the world.

I run this year training in Glastonbury (eight days in four weekends), yearly starting around the time of Imbolc to work with Her around the Wheel of the Year. During this training we explore and experience Her as Bridie the Maiden, Brighde as Triple Fire Goddess, Bride the Lover, Brighde as Goddes of the Healing springs and wells, Bridget the Mother, Brighde's Green Mantle which is the Land, Brighid the Crone and Brighde wise Goddess of Air.

ORACLING

Oracling is an ancient way to connect with your own inner wisdom. The word Oracle comes from the Latin verb ōrāre, which means "to speak" and this referred in ancient times to a priestess speaking wisdom or predictions.

Although I have been an oracle priestess in ceremony, the oracling I offer in every day life is oracling through oracle cards. My view on oracling is that who ever is handling the cards is the one who decides what the outcome of the draw will be. You tap into your inner wisdom, the part of you that knows your truth, fears, needs and challenges.

In the oracle sessions I offer, we will draw the number of cards that is needed to help you find an answer to your question, talk about how they ‘speak’ to you and what message you can take away from them.

AND MORE…

In my view you can express being a priestess in many ways and forms. My commitment is to bring Priestess and Goddess energy through in every thing I do. Beside the activities which are clearly stated in this leaflet I also offer:

INTRODUCTIONS TO GODDESS AND THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR

For a lot of people who come to Glastonbury the first time or even for those who’ve been many times, the concept of Goddess is not very clear. I offer personal and group talks/discussions around Goddess and the Wheel of the year, to help lift the mists a little bit.

MASSAGE AND HEALING TOUCH

I offer sessions of healing touch and massage in my own unique way; combining my training in Reiki, Universal Energy, Kwan Yin Magnified healing, massage and shiatsu. Massages can be given using a massage table or massage chair.

MARY WORKSHOP AT THE GODDESS CONFERENCE 2012 (Glastonbury)
Together with Lida van der Water (http://avenahar.blogspot.co.uk/) I will be holding a workshop during the Mother conference in Glastonbury this year, reclaiming Mother Mary as the Goddess She is!

TESTIMONIALS

To meet Marion was not casual. I asked Kathy Jones to recommend me someone for a ceremony, and this was her. I knew I was going to have a connection with her as soon as we had contact with each other. She was so friendly, even to give us an appointment very late for English people (not for us here in Spain). I felt so comfortable with her that it look to me I knew her forever. I contact with my own ancestor and with my culture, and she made everything so natural that it was like I had been doing this all my live.

I highly recommend Marion, to leave Avalon with a sense of conection with the Goddess.

Elena Marín, Spain

I confess, I wasn't very sure to want a meeting with a Goddess priest. My wife made it and I felt I could'nt say, NO!!!!. Thank God I did't say it, because it was one of my favourite moments in Avalon. I had a full connection with my inner self and a wonderfull feeling of peace. Everything was so normal and clear from Marion, that it made me felt like I was at home. After the ceremony, I felt Marion as part of my beautiful experience in Avalon.

I just can say that spending 3 hours with her it was like being in heaven for a while.Thank you so much, Marion.

David Martin, Spain

With her ​deep passion and love for Mother Nature, Marion was a valuable teacher to me in the period I took my first steps on my way to the Goddess. Inspired by her loving and gentle presence, her lessons meant an unforgettable experience to me. I will never forget the moment I recognized the playfulness of Brighde in the character of Marion...
In a very natural way Marion brings her wisdom and knowledge to the people who want to learn about the Goddess.

Lenneke: Priestess Training and Brigida Retreat, The Netherlands

 

 

Marion van Eupen is a wonderful facilitator. Her gentle manner is empowering and comes from a deep rich resource of Priestesshood. Her spiritual and light touch delivery makes concepts accessible and recognisable to one's own experience. She will lead you on a wonderful journey!

Sarah; Brighde Retreat 2011

I experienced Marion as a wise teacher. She lives and works from the heart, which I found very inspirational. Her Link with Bridget is a visable, continual well of love for her, which she spreads through her presence.

Thuya; Priestess training, The Netherlands

Undertaking a Brighde Priestess retreat is extremely fulfilling and touches you on a very deep level. was very inpsired by Marion's guidance during the retreat, and dedication to Brighde's flame and memory.

Thoroughly recommend this course.

Mona; Brighde Retreat 2011

I feel blessed to have met Marion on the Goddess Brighde Retreat in February. Marion encompasses all aspects of Brighde's energy, using  her own knowledge and gentle nature, as well as  respect for the individual's own journey to create a truly special experience.
I feel as if I have not only met a priestess, but a true friend as well.
