Summary

I recently learned about Saint Thecla.  She is talked about in "The Acts of Paul and Thecla."  This is a story of a woman who is whole, courageous, badass, and mostly a being that chooses and exudes love.  This is a human story of reaching our own potential because we have the courage to go inside- merging the soul and the human body through the heart.  I feel deeply called to have people know her story.  While I have read some of her scripture and used some different sources most of my information came from the book "Mary Magdalene Revealed" by Meggan Watterson.  While this only has one chapter on Thecla, I highly recommend this book.  For me, learning more about Mary Magdalene and Jesus together has begun powerfully putting together the pieces to the puzzle I never understood from the Bible.  It is the missing half, bringing wholeness to the Bible and its teachings.   It has made so many of these stories and their meaning come alive deep in my soul.   I sincerely hope you enjoy.  Om Shanti.   www.onyxyogastudio.com www.shannonelliottyoga.com
