This is a sacred space created just for witches and pagans. Here members will find a haven of connection, knowledge and empowerment. So this Mighty network is for both seasoned witches and folks that are witch curious. So folks that are in that transition. This community is dedicated, it is private, and it offers everything that members need, regardless of where they are in that journey, to deepen their practice and connect with like minded souls.
My name is Leela Cosgrove. I'm the CEO and founder of High Priestess. And High Priestess serves women who feel called to witchcraft, which is still in, in 2024. A little bit of a contentious topic sometimes. So we create a safe space for women to really explore that side of themselves, that side of spirituality, and really engage with witchcraft as a whole. I've been running communities since 2010 and you know, once upon a time you put everything in a Facebook group. But I mean, one of the big things I say to people over and over again is that you don't own your Facebook group. And I've seen people with massive Facebook groups have their Facebook group shut down. And I just, I also don't like the way get on other platforms where there's multiple things going on, people get distracted, people can be targeted with advertising. You know, there were, there were a few things that kind of got us to be like, all right, we need to be building our own platform. I've used Mighty previously, both as a customer and as a user over the last few years. And I think just the ease of usability for us, but also the transition for our clients into seeing that, you know, the platforms familiar, it doesn't feel like it's too far away from what they're used to. There's sort of a familiarity which makes it easier to use, which means that transition for a lot of people who aren't in platforms other than kind of the major social networks, it makes it easier not just to get them over, but to get them actually engaging with the platform.
High Priestess is a freemium mighty network. So if we click on Choose Plan, we'll see that members can join either a free plan to gain access to some free spaces and courses, or upgrade and choose to be a premium member and access the witch academy. We'll take a look at both. The first space is a beautifully set up, welcome space. Something that I love is that Leela has set up both a text walkthrough and a video walkthrough for those visual learners. And another thing that I learned from Leela is that High Priestess has really grown organically over the years. Which just goes to show how much value members are getting and how much they want to share that with other people that they know will love this mighty network. In the home space, members have the opportunity to post, comment, and interact. In the welcome article, it's even specifically mentioned that even better than posting, members should comment, reply, and contribute to other people's polls and questions. By having this true motivation to post and to respond and interact with one another, we'll see that engagement is really working. All of the posts here have comments on them where members are conversing with one another and hyping each other up. That is people magic.
