High Priestess

A female religious figure. The female counterpart of the High Priest.

"The temple prostitute performed many functions. She was the High Priestess (or he was the High Priest) of the temple. She or he would make offerings to the goddess or god of the temple, explore erotic visual delights through dance, play music, write and recite poetry, prepare sumptuous food, and concoct potions of love. The temple prostitute was, of course, also well trained in the arts of massage, touch, and erotic stimulation. Sex was a sacrament; orgasm, a religious experience. The community respected and revered the sacred prostitute as much as any priest or priestess. Prostitution was a high calling, an honorable and exalted position."
