The Magdalene Mysteries
The Notorious Woman who could NOT be left out
Christ & Magdalene - Memoir and Magic
Easter Weekend is a core moment where ‘memoir and magic’ collide in the storytelling of the life and teachings of Jesus and the hidden Magdalene Mysteries that stood behind them, where lineages of exiled Priestesses tried to preserve their tradition (including death/rebirth initiations with Poison Plants) by selecting male avatars to initiate and to finance them to be ‘frontmen’ for the new incarnation of the mysteries.
This makes the Resurrection a very coded and convoluted story, with many layers….
As we write in the Magdalene Mysteries book:
“It is in the Easter resurrection story that Mary Magdalene takes her place at Golgotha, “place of the skull,” standing at the foot of the cross with Mother Mary and John the Beloved, while the other Marys are nearby, as they witness Jesus’s crucifixion. The twelve male disciples have fled into hiding, afraid for their lives.
This mythical event is rich with many layers of meaning for those who can see.
Even the name of Golgotha—place of the skull—may give us a telltale clue. The skull was often associated with the pelvis, known as a shamanic “second skull.”
The timing of the crucifixion is also significant, taking place as it does at Easter in springtime, which was celebrated with rites of rebirth across the pagan traditions.
Even the angels who appear to the Mary priestesses by the empty tomb seem to hint at this knowledge that Jesus is undergoing an expected initiatory event in the mysteries:
Two men in dazzling garments appeared to them. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised.
Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day”
(Luke 24:4–7).
As the Mary priestesses attempt to communicate this grand initiation rite of resurrection to the male disciples, they are disbelieved:
The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; the others who accompanied them also told this to the apostles, but their story seemed like nonsense and they did not believe them (Luke 24:10–11).
The Female Pope—Apostle of the Apostles
[Mary Magdalene] goes to tell the others the miraculous news—and in doing so becomes the first apostle of the “Good News,” and the “Apostle of the Apostles”:
Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!”
And she told them what he had said to her. (John 20:18)
This is the first mention of Mary Magdalene enjoying a private meeting with Jesus, in miraculous circumstances—where she is employed to share news or teachings with the other male disciples, and is at times disbelieved.
This motif reappears in the gnostic text Pistis Sophia, where Magdalene receives secret, esoteric teachings from Jesus in either dreams or private visionary meetings, and is disbelieved by some.
The depth of controversy and subterfuge surrounding this classic scene rests on the fact that the Catholic Church’s authority is claimed to come directly from Peter (a man) as the first person to meet with Jesus after his resurrection and share the news. Yet even the canonical gospels clearly reveal that this authority did not initially come from a man, but came from a woman—Mary Magdalene, who was the first to see Jesus.
This means that Mary Magdalene was the first female pope.
