The Mary Magdalene Feast And A Revolution Of Love

Send us Fan MailMary Magdalene has been called a lot of things over the centuries, but the labels most people remember are often the ones that shrink her. We’re getting ready for her feast day by widening the lens and asking why so many of us feel, deep in our bones, that there’s more to her story and more to ours too.We talk about Mary Magdalene as a tower of wisdom, an initiate, a mystic, and an apostle whose spiritual authority keeps challenging the old rules about who gets to speak for God. Along the way, we name the patriarchal smear campaign that blurred her legacy, and we share how reading beyond the usual script through the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Philip, and fresh scholarship (including conversations around Mary, Martha, and the Gospel of John) can feel less like “making something up” and more like taking years of grime off a beautiful icon.The heart of the Magdalene tradition, for us, is inner authority and a return to love. We explore “Christ consciousness” as something that calls every body and every gender toward oneness, equality, and freedom, because until we’re all free, none of us are free. We also share a vivid story about red cardinals as a sign of presence, and how paying attention to nature can become a practical spiritual practice, not just a poetic idea.If this sparks something in you, listen, share it with a friend, and subscribe so you don’t miss what we’re posting around her feast. After you listen, leave a review and tell us: where are you being invited to tell a better story?
