ABOUT KATIE & MELANIA

A TALE OF TWO WATER PRIESTESSES.

​Katie and Melania, together with their honoured water priestess sister Simi Shea, have devoted over a decade to the living path of Water. Guided by the spirit of water, they have been called to sacred rivers, holy wells, oceans and crystalline springs across the world. Their pilgrimage has woven them into the lineage of the great water mothers; Sophia of eternal wisdom, Magdalene of the divine rose mysteries, Dewi Danu the primordial Balinese water Goddess, Isis of the Nile, Danu of the celtic wells, Belisama celtic goddess of the rivers and lakes, and countless other goddesses and elementals who support the living waters.​​

The waters have summoned Katie and Melania and Simi across many lands and dimensional realms.

 

 

Initiated in the living currents. of Avalon, where the red and white springs flow side by side they have sat in deep devotion weaving spirit and body through the eternal waters of Glastonbury. They have carried holy waters filled with prayer, song and remembrance into Fingals cave on the Isle of Staffa. At the Holy Well of Eternal Youth at Iona where Brigid’s flame still burns they have conducted planetary water ceremony. They have journeyed  with  reverence to the Wells of Tara where the sovereignty of the Goddess flows through the emerald heart of Eiru. They have held ceremony by the River Esk at Roslin Glen, veiled in the mysteries of the  Magdalene, they have  sung and prayed along the Boyne, where the goddess Boann once walked in the living waters.

 

They have drunk from the Castalian Spring of Delphi, where at the Temples of Apollo and Isis, the Pythia and Melissae priestesses of Gaia once listened to the voices of the deep.  They have been called to the volcanic waters of Lake Taupō and the sacred fjords of the  Milford Sound, where Papatūānuku, Earth Mother of Aotearoa, breathes her living breath. They have walked the holy path along the steps of Saint Baume and drank from La Source de Nans .

 

They have bathed in the faerie pools of the Isle Skye, at La Fontaine des Amours and in the crystalline springs and rivers  of Southern France, where Mary Magdalene’s lineage whispers through the mountains, stones and streams. They have sung to the waterfalls of Fiji and Tahiti, where the goddess of the waters dances in the mist, and they have offered prayers to the sacred rivers of Peru, where Pachamama births life anew.​

 

As  planetary water weavers, they have shared sacred blends that unite streams, rivers, and

oceans across continents, awakening within themselves the codes of of womb and water and with this ancient planetary memory. After countless seasons of quiet devotion to the holy waters of Earth, they step forth now as vessels of offering excited to share this wisdom with others, guiding them to embody their own role as water guardians—living vessels of prayer, devotion, and divine feminine service.​​
