There is no Basilinna to swear my priesthood into in modern day but there are still deities to talk to and to do that. Gerarai are still a thing without Basilinnas. Instead of swearing dedication to the god Dionysus to an arbitrary monarch you swear it to him yourself, you undergo his trials you await his answer and you take your duties seriously. Although my favorite thing in life is playing music in honor of Dionysus being lustful in honor of Dionysus performing in honor of Dionysus fighting for those who can’t to have basic freedoms in his name and getting high in honor of Dionysus that isn’t all there is to being a priestess or in this case Gerarai. It’s your duty to help people learn about them if they wish to talk to you about them (let them ask to talk be open to your priesthood but don’t try to force conversion ike an asshat) to guide them in divination to him to help with marriage ceremonies to give regular offerings especially during the Anthesteria and if a temple isn’t available to raise the funds or treat your living quarters as such. Priesthood isn’t a fad and you shouldn’t call yourself a priestess if you haven’t even talked to a deity about it but it also isn’t as uncommon as people think because there are many priests and priestess modern day and most of us aren’t lying
