Why I Became a Ritual Master

Have you ever seen an injustice and felt called to action?

Perhaps you've become aware of corruption within a system and felt something rise up inside you — not only because you are affected by it, but because you can feel the suffering it creates for others.

Perhaps you are someone who protects the innocent. Someone who will stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. Someone who sees a problem and instinctively asks:

What can I do?

This is the heart of the Warrior.

And this is the heart of a Ritual Master.

I was initiated as a Ritual Master in the Lineage of King Salomon in 2020 — a wild year for humanity on Planet Earth, if you can remember!

Travel was restricted. Fear was rife. Confusion and conspiracy seemed to occupy much of the collective mind. I moved from Spain to England during this time, and everywhere I went, the evidence of the pandemic was impossible to ignore.

Cities opened, closed, opened and closed again.

Nobody really knew what was coming next.

As a mother, I felt a deep responsibility to hold a strong and positive energy for my family to live within. I knew that my thoughts, emotions and attitude didn't just belong to me. They affected the household around me.

So I devoted myself even more deeply to aligning myself with the GOOD and the Light of God.

I used the teachings, tools and community of Modern Mystery School to strengthen my own energetic field and navigate those uncertain times.

Then, in the second half of 2020, an email arrived inviting me to attend my first Ritual Master Initiation in Brazil.

I said yes.

At the time, I didn't fully understand what that yes would mean.

Six years later, I understand it much more clearly.

What is a Ritual Master?

A Ritual Master is someone who has received an initiation from Modern Mystery School within the Lineage of King Salomon.

The Lineage recognises the importance of the Warrior Archetype within the collective consciousness — the part of humanity that is willing to stand for what is GOOD and to consciously progress the Light of God.

But to me, Ritual Master is much more than a title.

It is conscious leadership training.

It is a path of developing a deeper understanding of yourself, the world we live in and the universe. It asks the questions beneath the questions and continually brings you back to the most important one:

Know Thyself.

Because before you can truly understand the world around you, you have to become willing to understand yourself.

Before you can recognise what is GOOD in the world, you have to become discerning about what is GOOD within yourself.

And before you can lead, serve or influence others, you have to understand the influence you already have.

This is one of the greatest teachings I have received from the Ritual Master Path:

Your energy matters.

You are not separate from the collective.

Your thoughts matter. Your words matter. Your choices matter. How you live your life contributes to the energy around you.

A conscious leader understands this.

They know they can walk into a room and either lift the energy or lower it.

So the first responsibility of the Warrior is not to fight the world.

It is to take responsibility for themselves.

The Warrior of Light

When I speak about the Warrior, I am not talking about someone who is looking for a battle.

The Warrior of Light fights for the GOOD of God.

They are committed to progressing the Light.

And this requires discernment.

Because GOOD is not always as obvious as we think.

It can be misunderstood, polluted or corrupted. Something can be socially accepted and still take us away from our highest potential. Something can be uncomfortable and yet be exactly what is required for growth.

This is why the Path begins within.

We have to become willing to look honestly at ourselves.

Where am I out of alignment?

Where am I allowing fear to make my decisions?

Where am I giving away my power?

Where am I choosing comfort over truth?

Where am I following the crowd simply because everyone else is going that way?

Sometimes walking in the Light means going left when everyone else is going right — because you can see that the right-hand path is leading you away from what you know to be GOOD.

That takes courage.

And sometimes it means saying no to things that are completely normalised within society because you understand they don't support the energy you are committed to cultivating.

The Warrior learns to make those choices without needing everyone else to agree.

Responsibility, Service and Love of GOOD

Over the years, I have come to recognise three qualities at the heart of the Ritual Master Path.

1. Responsibility

If you understand that you are influential, then you understand that your energy matters.

You become responsible for what you bring into the collective.

This doesn't mean being perfect.

It means being willing to notice yourself.

To clear what needs to be cleared.

To confront your own negative ego and the resistances that prevent you from living the life you are capable of living.

Leadership begins here.

2. Service

At the heart of the Warrior is a desire to serve something larger than themselves.

When they see suffering, they ask:

What can I do?

Not simply, “Someone should do something about this.”

They take responsibility for their part.

Service might mean serving your family, your community, your country or humanity as a whole.

It doesn't have to be grand.

Sometimes service looks like teaching.

Sometimes healing.

Sometimes cleaning.

Sometimes carrying the Starbucks orders.

Sometimes doing the banking, hanging out the washing or taking care of your family so that everyone can move forward.

What matters is the intention behind the action.

You are using your life to progress GOOD.

3. Love of GOOD

There is a passion within the Warrior for what is possible.

They aren't interested in simply maintaining the status quo.

They ask:

How can I improve the state today?

What can I do today that will improve the state tomorrow?

The Warrior looks forward.

Not because the present isn't important, but because they understand that every choice made today contributes to what comes next.

Why is it called the Path of the Warrior?

Because this isn't always comfortable.

The Warrior Path asks you to continually move beyond the places where you would rather stay.

We live in a world where comfort can be very persuasive.

Good enough can become good enough.

We can convince ourselves that something is fine because changing it would be inconvenient.

We can choose the familiar over the true.

But how do we progress the Light if we continually settle for what is easiest?

This doesn't mean life should be hard all the time.

Rest is important.

Joy is important.

Comfort is important.

But when the moment comes to move, the Warrior moves.

Have you ever run a 10km race?

At some point, your mind will probably suggest that you slow down.

Coast for a while.

You've done enough.

A well-trained athlete learns to recognise that voice without automatically obeying it.

They know when to push, when to rest and when to keep moving towards the finish line.

This is part of Warrior training.

Not ignoring yourself.

Not destroying yourself.

But developing the discernment to know when you are genuinely depleted — and when you are simply being asked to grow.

Learning to stand alone

One of the greatest freedoms this Path has given me is freedom from needing other people to approve of my choices.

I used to be much more concerned with being a people pleaser.

I had to learn that my true self is lovable — even when other people don't agree with me.

That changed everything.

It freed me to stop apologising for my success.

To stop talking down my victories.

To stop making myself smaller so other people could feel comfortable.

And it also freed me from judging others.

When I am not busy worrying about whether someone approves of me, I have much more space to allow them to be exactly who they are.

I don't need everyone to walk my Path.

I simply need to be responsible for walking mine.

I remember travelling to Toronto for my second Ritual Master Initiation in 2021.

Toronto was still largely closed. Travel was complicated and the general consensus was that travelling during that time was crazy — particularly to participate in something that many people would simply describe as “Light Work.”

But I understood my mission.

So I went.

I didn't broadcast it to everyone. I didn't need to defend my decision or open myself up to unnecessary judgement.

I simply moved with intention.

This has become a pattern in my life.

Sometimes I do the “crazy” thing and tell people afterwards.

They can judge if they want to.

Usually, they eventually give up — because there isn't much use judging something that has already happened.

When the Path gets difficult

The Warrior Path has not made my life free from challenges.

Quite the opposite.

It has taught me how to meet them.

There was a period when the UK Government held my passport for more than twelve months.

For more than a year, I couldn't leave the country — for any reason.

I did everything I could to get it returned.

Nothing worked.

So I had a choice.

I could spend the entire year being angry about everything I couldn't do.

Or I could ask:

What can I do from here?

So I committed myself even more deeply to my studies and to serving the local Modern Mystery School.

I helped with social media.

I contributed to newsletters.

I helped at programs.

I ran Starbucks orders.

I cleaned.

I did whatever was needed.

If I couldn't travel to progress my mission, then I would help the School progress its mission where I was.

That is Warrior energy to me.

Not pretending the obstacle isn't there.

Not pretending it doesn't hurt.

But refusing to let the obstacle have the final word.

Becoming a Guide

Perhaps the clearest example of this has been my Guide training.

It was one of the hardest things I have ever achieved — and I've run marathons.

Many times I wondered if it was crazy to even attempt it.

Hobart is a long way from Modern Mystery School Headquarters in Toronto.

The requirements were demanding.

I needed to become stronger than I thought I could be.

Many times I felt fear.

Many times I felt pressure.

Many times I wondered if I could actually do it.

And many times I had to return to the same questions:

What is GOOD?

What is my purpose?

What am I here to serve?

Then I would steady my heart and continue.

When people told me it was too hard, I agreed.

It was hard.

And then I used that as ammunition to do my best.

When my best wasn't good enough, I sometimes felt the urge to give up.

So I gave myself a day.

I rested.

I recovered.

And then I returned to the fight.

Because sometimes being a Warrior means knowing when to stop for the day so that you can fight again tomorrow.

I relied on my tools.

I relied on my rituals.

I relied on my community.

And most importantly, I remained committed to my purpose.

Eventually, I became a Guide of Modern Mystery School.

The only Australian to do so.

And strangely, the feeling of success was quiet.

It wasn't huge.

It wasn't ecstatic.

It was calm.

Steady.

A deep inner knowing that I had done what I came here to do — and that I would continue.

Six years on, who am I now?

Looking back, perhaps there was never really a question.

There were certainly moments of doubt.

Fear.

Exhaustion.

Moments when I wondered if I was asking too much of myself.

But underneath all of that was a knowing I couldn't seem to shake.

This was my Path.

The Ritual Master Path has made me more discerning.

More resilient.

More committed to my purpose.

It has given me teachings and tools that have helped me understand myself more deeply — and, through understanding myself, understand others more compassionately.

It has given me a clearer understanding of what I am here to do.

Teach and heal.

And it has given me the courage to keep moving towards that purpose even when the path isn't obvious, easy or socially understood.

The Warrior of Light isn't someone who never feels fear.

They feel fear and move anyway.

They aren't someone who never falls.

They learn how to get back up.

They don't need to fight everyone.

They simply refuse to surrender what they know to be GOOD.

Six years ago, I received an invitation to become a Ritual Master.

Today, I understand that I wasn't being invited to become someone else.

I was being invited to know myself more deeply.

To understand my influence.

To take responsibility for my energy.

To strengthen my discernment.

To serve.

And to keep choosing the Light.

That is why I became a Ritual Master.

And that is why I continue to walk the Path of the Warrior.
