Bee Helygen is a Priestess of Avalon and Priestess of Cerridwen. She is a Conference Ceremonialist (2018 to 2021), a Goddess Embodiment and Oracle Priestess & Seer, a Temple Weaver. She is an Awenydd (Inspirer), a Swynwraig (Wise Woman). She was trained by Kathy Jones as an Emotional Healer and is a Soul Reader & Death Midwife.

She works at Goddess Healing House as a Priestess and Healer and serves as a Melissa to welcome visitors to the Mother Temple here in Avalon. She welcomes groups of visitors and gives talks and presentations on the Goddess. Her training in counselling and psychotherapy informs her work as Priestess and Healer.  

In 2015 Bee created a Priestess course for the Goddess Cerridwen, the Dark Mother and Queen of the OtherWorld of the Avalonian wheel. The course was granted Temple Teaching status, and runs annually for the last six years. The course is now also available Online and “we have a marvellous group of amazing people doing the training.”

Her ‘Dark Goddess’ ceremonies and rituals are inspired by her deep connection with Cerridwen: Goddess of Death, Rebirth and Transformation and can be designed for individuals and groups, who wish to explore and release their negative Life Patterns or send healing into the world wherever needed. 

After a decade of study conducted in Wales, she has reclaimed a healing tradition based on the ancient roots of the Welsh Wise Women, the Swynwragedd. Bee and the Cerridwen Priestesses and Priests also host the monthly Dark Moon ritual at the Goddess Temple, where healing energy is sent into the world.
