Draft talk:Priestess

Seeking more scholarly, unbiased, contributors who know more

I myself am an ordained minister, and I use the title Priestess, I know many other ordained women, use the term, and historically women have had the term as well, I am disclosing that my personal bias is the fact that I myself am a legally recognized, Priestess, who owns an IRS declared Religious Organization, I would love other users, to help contribute. It is (I'm sure still done in good faith), so dishonest to the dictionary term, for Priestess, to simply make it a Redirect. I would love, to have more users help me curate this, but I genuinely feel it is being misused and wrongfully handled. Again Im sure it was an honest oversight, but an unintellectual one, none the less. Please help accurately protect this term.

Still seeking help, but absolutely committed to making sure the word "Priestess" is properly preserved, even if it is in very small circles, it being defined as only "Non-christian" faiths who use it is objectively wrong. And also redirecting it to "Priest" Is minimizing its relevance in the wider world of faith at large, which is not only presently untrue, but a huge (Done in good faith I know) disservice to its historical global usage as a title as well. In SEVERAL documented religions, Priestess and High Priestess, has been and in many cases in the present today, is still, used as a description of any woman who is authorized to officiate in many different faith traditions, including, rarely, even Christian ones.
