Radiance:
Liberate Your Essence | Embody Your Lineage
Enter the Mysteries of the
Snake Priestess Temple
Why Now? Why Snake?
The primordial Snake Goddess was worshiped across the globe for many thousands of years…
Snakes are, in fact, the very first thing humans worshipped that we know of.
Every culture has stories and memories, as She holds the deeply held wisdom codes of ecstatic birth, death, and rebirth, of ceaseless change … of regenerative life force energy that brings forward our radiance.
With the rise of patriarchy, She was silenced, hidden, and demonized. Like the serpent, She has been regenerating in the darkness, waiting for us to remember.
The Snake Goddess, our Root Mother, is here to initiate us into Her wisdom, to reclaim our primordial knowing, and to liberate us from the shame and victimization we’ve carried individually and collectively.
She is here to help us dissolve the systems of dominance and separation we have inherited, waking us up to our wholeness.
Together, we awaken the original, ravenous, radiant Wisdom Keepers of our lineages, reclaiming Her as holy, remembering ourselves as priestesses—for this lifetime, our children, and our world.
Why Now? Why Snake?
Radiance is an advanced, initiatory path within Enter the Mystery, rooted in the Golden Snake Temple lineage, held by Rebecca Cavender.
You’ll continue to deepen with the 13 Divine Feminine archetypes while entering the Snake Priestess Temple to embody your ancestral lineage and liberate your radiant essence.
This track is a devotional reclamation with the Primal Goddess, the Creator/Destroyer/Preserver, and the grounded wisdom of the Great Mother, Wise Woman, and Queen of Death.
You’ll connect with your female ancestors—the Radiant Ones: Medicine Women, Healers, Oracles, and Sacred Sexual Conduits—who moved culturally rooted life force wisdom through their bodies, serving the regeneration of wholeness for themselves, their kin, and the world.
These women safely burned and hissed away any shame and dross that kept them–or others–from feeling vitally alive, continuously feeling the rising wild, ecstatic, creative power of life (ergi, väki, Shakti) … whilst also being profoundly grounded, resourced, and focused.
It takes training to be a living conduit who can feel, move, direct, and release the power of life through your body … with focused intention, attunement, and integrity.
How You’ll Be Held:
Initiation & Mentorship with Rebecca Cavender
You’ll be part of an intimate group of sisters also on this track.
- Monthly 2hr Live Temple & Sister Circle with Rebecca Cavender for initiation and embodiment within the Golden Snake Temple, reclaiming 6 radiant/dark snake mysteries
- Advanced mentorship with Rebecca, an ordained priestess, certified scent priestess, oracle, and lineage keeper–guiding you into your animist, serpentine remembrance.
- A close, intimate community of serpent sisters on this advanced initiatory path.

New This Year:
Track Your Personal Snake Story
Each of us carries a snake story—a myth woven through our bones by the women who came before us.
It lives in the root blood, and dreams that undulate up your spine and whisper across your skin.
It’s the sacred re-membering of your ancestral mythologies, the reclamation of your Snake Grandmothers’ medicine, and the unique way Serpent speaks through your body.
In Radiance, you’ll be guided to track, reclaim, and embody your personal snake story through a new yearlong creative journey:
“Writing the Serpent’s
Tongue” Creative Temple
(June 2026)
A transformational space to uncover your myth, weave memory with body & give voice to your unique medicine through writing, art, or some other creative form.
“Shedding the Fire” Oral Storytelling Circle
(December 2026)
At the end of our year together, we’ll gather by the metaphorical fire to share your snake story aloud, witnessing & celebrating the woman you’ve become.
Publication in the
Radiance Digital Zine
(December 2026)
You’ll have the opportunity to share your writing or creative piece in a special Radiance Digital Zine to be released publicly, if you choose, honoring your voice and transmission as part of the collective healing.
Telling Your Snake Story Matters...
Integrate your initiations:
Tracking your snake story helps you weave your experiences in Radiance into your life in a tangible, living way.
Reclaim your mythic belonging:
Remember & restore your lineage’s ancestral medicine, becoming a vessel of its wisdom.
Transform & embody:
Story is a gateway for healing & integration—helping you witness your transformation, honor what you’ve shed, and step forward as a radiant woman.
As you reclaim your personal snake story, you reclaim yourself & your radiant lineage.

When I first joined Radiance, I almost didn’t know what I was getting into – but I felt that I needed to be there – and now I know why…
Radiance is an awakening to the true essence of the female ray of creation, an ancient remembering of our connection, of our power, of being in the temples, of performing healings, of living in sacred space and ritual and ceremony, of sisterhood.
Temple-by-temple I awaken deeper into the truth of my power and sacred mission. I connect my body with the Goddess herself, with the land, I move energy, I dissolve old patterns and birth new ones – each in better alignment with my sacred power, I remember.

Biggest gift from Radiance this year has been Rebecca’s dedication to our circle. Providing new program materials has been far above what I could have imagined.
Holly Hawk
Last year in ETM during a circle reflective exercise, one of my sisters shared with me that she didn’t know how much more I could shatter before I would be completely broken; and that was a fear she had in herself also. Around the same time, I had a powerful journey with a white cobra. I realize now that I wasn’t breaking, I was shedding all the things that didn’t serve me and being reborn. Everything. Every little thing and every big thing that was no longer meant for me was leaving and I was becoming new. The call and initiation into Radiance and the snake medicine had begun in my life.
Catherine Franchetti
The Radiance circle, curated by Rebecca Cavender, embodies a learning that is both new and familiar. Her focus and expertise in lineage work resonates deeply for me and is also a stretch as I come to orient myself in a new landscape of the priestess path.
I am both challenged and held tenderly in love and acceptance. I am so glad I heeded the call and am grateful to Rebecca for sharing her gifts in a way to assist me with expanding mine, and to my fellow sisters for accompanying me on this journey.
Faye LaVie
The moment I saw the opportunity to step into the Radiance Temple I knew immediately I was called into this work. This particular medicine is in my bones, my hair, my body, my core.
And the experiences with this path have confirmed everything I intuitively knew about myself.
I am deeply alive. I am a conduit of power.
I am a portal that releases magic upon this world.
I am a body that is in epic rhythm with Spirit.
I am… a glorious, beautiful channel. And my ancestors knew this, and took it upon themselves to make sure I did too.
Lucie Bernier
Radiance has been such an incredible container with devoted sisters diving into our somewhat lost lineages.
Within this sacred space, I was stunned to discover that what I had been intuitively doing with my drumming and singing was actually very old! …and part of the snake priestessing.
I am finding myself being held by our mothers’ mothers… carrying on their medicine – with them, through them, supported by them.
What an incredible gift to remember our roots and our connections.
Radiance is a RICH and loving space to reclaim more and more of our medicine and power, together in sisterhood.
Deep gratitude to Rebecca for holding this amazing container!

A Living Lineage
Radiance is part of Enter the Mystery, yet it is different.
Radiance is rooted in the Golden Snake Temple lineage (animist, Earth-based, ancestral) emphasizing sacred responsibility, deep ecology, and embodied relationship with land and body.
Enter the Mystery follows the 13 Moon™ Divine Feminine lineage, which initiates through frequency, shadow work, and vibrational alchemy.
Both are devotional paths of remembrance, but Radiance feels different because it is different: you’re entering a relational, animist lineage rooted in Earth, ancestry, and serpent wisdom.
Your Sacred Investment
Radiance is a living temple of advanced, initiatory Snake Medicine, requiring your devotion, presence within the group, and readiness.
Your financial investment reflects the depth of this work:
• Original, initiatory curriculum & sacred teachings
• Live mentorship & temple holding with Rebecca, an ordained priestess & guide with over two decades of sacred leadership
• Intimate community within a devoted circle, with the expectation of active participation
• Publication of your lineage story in a digital zine, anchoring your work & giving voice to your path
This is a sacred commitment to your liberation, embodiment, and the remembrance of your radiant essence.
