Memories of Magdalene
Mary Magdalene is an evocation, an invocation, and an incantation coded in a talismanic name — symbolic of the Goddess lineage honoring the forbidden feminine essence of the mother, the midwife, the mage, the sage and the priestess that was a lost and forgotten promise that is now being remembered.
July 22nd is celebrated as the feast day of Mary Magdalene, the most beloved and trusted disciple who still remains a figure of enormous controversy and division, even among the higher mysteries and devotions of the Divine Feminine.
For two thousand years Mary Magdalene has carried to term the sensual sins of the world, while at the same time midwifing the rebirth of our sexual salvation. As Her maturing matriarchy of truth spills forth into the fertile soil of an emerging womb consciousness, we prepare ourselves to resurrect a new feminine awakening.
The Mysteries surrounding Mary Magdalene and the Circle of Marys creates a miasma of myths, legends, half-truths and little known facts obscuring something deeper and far more reaching than most people realize or even suspect.
Mari Magdalene
Mari and Magdalene were names given throughout ancient civilizations to priestesses, mystics, healers, visionaries and powerful, magnificent feminine leaders who changed the world with each step they took.
Mari, Mary, Mar, and Mer are not ordinary names; they are priestess titles and words that mean “mother, beloved, sea, or feminine light” in many of the oldest languages of the world, including ancient Egyptian, Sumerian, and Indo-European languages.
In the Semitic languages, mag and dal are among the oldest primitive roots, signifying “great, powerful, magical, portal, and doorway”. Magdalene derives from the Hebrew name of the ancient mother goddess ma-gadala meaning “Great Mother,” as well as the Aramaic magdala and Hebrew migdal, both meaning “elevated, magnificent, or tower.’ Mar-Re-Yah, is the Aramaic word for radiance, or light.
The Latin ‘maga’ is also a derivative of Magdala which is a female magician—the feminine version of magus or mage.
Magdalene is an etymological word of great feminine power and as an origin title means the initiator, the annointress and the magic doorway of the Great Mother; the primordial Goddess and Source of Life. In Egypt, Hathor was called Mari-Hathor, “Beloved and Honored Hathor,” and Isis was called Mari-Isis, “Beloved and Honored Isis,” as were their priests and priestesses which coincide as Mary Magdalene was known by the Gnostics to have been a High Priestess of Isis.
Anointed Initiation
These female visionaries were known for their oracular nature, their redemptive sexuality and their ability to anoint and initiate a man into his spiritual kingship. It is here that we find the legacy of the Magdalene obscured in many ancient re-tellings, as in all ancient stories of kingship, it was the Goddess, a sacred feminine divinity, or a High Priestess which was representative of the Goddess, that would bestow sovereignty and empower the grail king. Mary Magdalene was one such incarnation of the Divine Feminine on earth.
In LUKE 7:37–48 we find a glittering hidden gem of truth-
‘And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, knew that Jesus sat at meal in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. . . . And the Messiah said unto her, “Thy sins are purified.”
In Matthew 26:10-13
Jesus Says “She has done a beautiful thing to me as you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what She has done will also be told, in memory of Her.”
These Bible passages make use of archaic customs that were not of common knowledge to those outside of the spiritual hierachy of the times as the ancient use of the word ‘sinner’ conveyed the left hand path of the priestess and was a holy title of healers, shamanas and sages. Sinners - empathically, spiritually, physically and emotionally took on the heaviness, sorrow, rage, infertility, and sickness of their communities for they held the secret ways of transmutation and transfiguration and healed their communities in the name of service to the Goddess and to the land. The alabaster jar spoken of in this passage was said to be filled with spikenard, a ceremonial and expensive unguent used in rites and rituals of purification, annointing and initiation.
Messiah in Hebrew means ‘the anointed’ and in ancient times kings were anointed with precious oils to signify their authority. This scene that the gospel of Luke and Matthew refer to IS Mary Magdalene bestowing a rite of ritual kingship on Yeshua as She was the emanation of the Goddess and Yeshua, the incarnation of the Grail King.

Mary Magdalene and her lineage of priestesses were teachers of Men, teaching them the Mysteries of the Sacred Feminine
Mary Magdalene, Apostle of the Apostles is the Holy Source from where the Christ drinks, She is the force of light that births enlightenment. Mary Magdelene is the holy woman who anoints, the one who illuminates, the one who redeems. She is the Feminine Christ of our era that originated in a generational lineage of devotees for the exaltation of the feminine. Her amrita of anointing oil is the light that awakens humanity´s fallen consciousness. She is the womb of the Divine and when we reclaim her she leads us to the remembrance of the portal within where we activate, initiate and awaken our own Magdalene essence; our birthright as sacred beings of creation, communion and consciousness.
