The Prophetess

A prophetess is a woman recognized for her ability to receive, interpret, or convey messages believed to come from a divine source or spiritual insight. Historically, prophetesses have provided guidance, warnings, or revelations concerning future events, moral conduct, or spiritual truths. They often hold a role within religious or spiritual communities, serving as intermediaries between the divine and people. While their insights are respected, the acceptance of their messages varies across cultures and faiths. The term underscores both their spiritual authority and their role in guiding or advising others based on perceived divine inspiration.
