Become A Priestess of Cornwall
Now in its 6th year, stepping into this devotional journey with the Spirit & land of Cornwall will guide you into deeper harmony & rhythm with both Spirit of place and with yourself; and in turn the land will guide you through a homecoming to your life that is filled with epic myths and wild magic.
Are You Hearing The Wild Call of Cornwall?
To become a Priestess, Priest or Priestex of Cornwall is to live a radiant life in devotion to Cornwall, the Earth, and to your own spiritual journey.
Being a *Priestess of Cornwall means to not only be all of the above, but to do it from a place of wild & empowered magic and compassion. Here at The Temple of Cornwall we are champions of radical self-love, acceptance, & empowerment. This ethos is at the heart of the way we teach and our aim is to empower you to take the reins of your journey to becoming a *Priestess of Cornwall.

This course is for you if any of the below resonate with you...
1) You find yourself in a place of stagnation, and want to rediscover a flow through life which lights you up
2) You are deeply called to the heartland of Cornwall and are ready to connect deeply with the Divine energies of this land. Perhaps you had a past life here and desire an opportunity to move in harmony with the land once again
3) You are ready to explore what awaits you just on the other side of your comfort zone (spoiler! Ease, community and support await you there + many other beautiful things that can only be experienced uniquely by you!)
4) You are ready for a community of like-minded souls who will welcome you into your spiritual home as you deepen into your sacred guardianship of the land and its energies
5) You want to learn and remember *Priestess wisdom & skills that will help you to deepen on your spiritual path, bring about healing on all levels, and help you to serve your chosen community as a *Priestess (if that is something you called to do)

Testimonial - Steffani
'Prior to this course I felt quite disconnected from my spiritual self, and as I approach the end of my first year, I can happily say this is no longer the case.
Much more than simply supplying information, it has also kickstarted me into healing the road blocks that led to me losing my way spiritually in the first place.
Rebecca and Lorna have unique but complimentary teaching styles, and rather than lessons being spoon-fed to us, we are encouraged to intuit the answers ourselves with a gentle nudge in the right direction, meaning that we as individuals can take real personal ownership of what our Cornish spirituality means to us.
The Zoom sessions were a complete surprise to begin with! I wasn’t expecting to feel energies so tangibly, but I promise; the energy is strong and powerful - I can’t wait for the end of year dedication to feel it all in person!
If you are on the fence about taking the first step on this journey, go for it! It’s had a transformative affect on my spirituality, mental health and well-being!'

- Become a powerful channel for the deeply healing & expansive energies of Cornwall
- Live your life from an empowered place, allowing you to move beyond spiritual perfectionism and into your raw authentic experience and expression of the Divine
- Cleanse, clear & revitalise anything that is holding you back so you can grow through your unconscious limitations and be reborn
This is a predominately online course, with occasional optional in-person offerings, such as sacred walks, or in-person ceremonies. This gives you the freedom to explore and connect as deeply as you want, whenever you want.
You don't have to live in Cornwall, or even have ever visited Cornwall, to take up this course. Much like Avalon, Cornwall is a place that can be tapped into energetically from anywhere in the world. With the guidance of myself I assure you that you can, and will, be grounded into these energies, no matter your geographical location.

Testimonial ~ Lorna Graham, Priestess of Cornwall
'I have been on the Pagan path for a long time, working instinctually and in a very personal way, but I had never done anything like a formal training.
The Temple of Cornwall works with an ethos that feels right to me, and the immense amount of work that Rebecca has put into this course is evident from the first lesson.
I learned new things, worked with Deities and Archetypes that I had not previously connected with, developed new skills, and also consolidated some of the ways I was already working, and as such I have evolved and developed, and now feel very proud to call myself a Priestess of Cornwall.
There is a lot of support if you need it, and a real shared passion for empowerment.
I highly recommend this course if you want to connect with the Spirit of Cornwall …. and yourself !'

Meet Your Priestess Guides
Rebecca Burgess, Founder & Mother Priestess of The Temple of Cornwall
I am the founder & Mother Priestess of The Temple of Cornwall and I have devoted my life and existence to this work, to serve not only Cornwall and its sacred Spirit, but to also serve you
I have been a part of Cornwall ever since I was born, and more than likely long before even that!
Around 2018 I underwent a series of radical changes, some of which saw me leave my abusive marriage, and go self employed as a Sacred Celebrant with Willow Ceremonies
My training to become a Sacred Celebrant saw me spending weekends in Glastonbury every 6 weeks, and one Sunday evening as I was driving back to Cornwall...and I started to channel the Spirit of Cornwall!
It told me that I was to create & build the Temple of Cornwall, along with the help of our community that has truly blossomed over the years.
There were still a few final initiations I had to undergo before I felt the time was right to do all this, so I readied myself and surrendered into the oceanic flow of Cornwall
Come Ostara 2020, I had a major pineal gland reopening, and the Temple fell into my hands, a true gifts from the Gods!
Since then, I have helped the Temple to take root and expand, and prosper in many new and exciting ways!
Lorna Graham, Priestess of Cornwall and crone Wisdom Kepper
I live with my husband and little black cat Willow in rural East Cornwall, about ten miles from Bodmin Moor and on the edge of the beautiful Tamar and Danescombe Valleys.
I worked as a Registered Nurse in a variety of areas, including Women's health and fertility for 35 years, and took early retirement in 2019 prior to our move here. I enjoy cooking, reading, gardening, photography, and walking.
I have been on the Pagan path for a long time, working both instinctually and in a more structured way; alone and as part of small groups of like-minded people. I am also attuned to Master level in Usui and Celtic Reiki, have received the Nine Rites of Munay Ki, and work with Tree Energies, the Ogham, and the Tarot.
My dedication ceremony as a Priestess of Cornwall deepened my connection with both this land and myself, and I love to take meditative and healing walks and opening myself to the paths that the Spirit of Cornwall offers me.
My passion is with the Women’s journey to becoming an Elder-woman, and our meeting with our Crone-self and embracing everything that the journey encompasses; the Crone Goddesses, and the ways in which we develop our potential and feel empowered as older women through these archetypes, and this is the area that I will be contributing to and helping you with on this course, and also in the future, as a stand-alone course (work in progress!).
