Within Dianic Tradition, a priestess has been taught to not only channel for the Goddess, but also to hold and maintain the energies within the Circle. Unless she has someone appointed for this task, she also provides energetic protection for the Circle (Sacred Space). We have found that while this can be done, there are women whose natural inclinations lean in this direction. For the most part, these women are not interested in holding "center" in sacred rites but prefer to be what we call "edge walkers" and monitor not only the energies of those in sacred space, but also provide energetic protection against any outside forces beyond the boundaries of the Circle. A big part of their task is to monitor the energies of the Priestess, making sure that her energy levels are maintained appropriately. These women often carry the energy we perceive of as that of Amazon.

It is with this in mind, that the Apple Branch is now accepting applications for women to train as Guardian Priestess. Guardians will receive exactly the same training as the ritual priestesses with special emphasis on working with energy and shamanic techniques needed for "edge walking."
