Hello,

I am a Female Priest in the Ecclesia Gnostica, in Los Angeles, CA and a lifelong seeker of truth. I was baptized an Episcopalian at birth, but after my mother was divorced and we went to live with her cousin in California, we were no longer allowed to attend the Episcopalian church, only the United Brethren, which my Aunt belonged to, and I now realize was a kind of Puritan Christian Cult. I had not been Confirmed in a church until I was re-Baptized (as an adult) and later Confirmed in Ecclesia Gnostica in 1992. I entered holy orders in 1993, and was ordained to the Priesthood in 2001. Before finding the E.G. I had been a member of a Rosicrucian organization, which I later realized was another cult, which I left in 1989. Since that time I have taken over administration of "The Order of the Grail", as a favor to a friend who could no longer do so, and become a Master Mason. I am particularly attracted to the "French Gnostic" stream, writers like Mouni Sadhu, Paul Sedir, and Constant Chevillion, and of course the writings of my Bishop, Dr. Stephan Hoeller. I am interested in neo-Platonic philosophy and certain forms of Christian Mysticism, kabala , comparative religions and mythology, especially Celtic Myths and Grail Legends.

I look forward to this additional opportunity to learn and share insights!

Sincerely,

Rev. (Dame) Donna
