“I just think there's something about choosing yourself as sacred enough to withdraw

from things that don't serve you even if they're good things.

In the interest of moving forward in the direction that you know you're meant to go.

And how this intentional practice that is across religions,

that is across the world of seasons where we pull back.

in order to drop in more spiritually and in order to move forward from a more aligned place.

You get to make these tools be whatever you need them to be for you.

And for me, for this Magdalene here, that's what it's like for me.”

an exploration of darkness, of the divine feminine, and the connection to the lost gospel of Mary Magdalene

In this episode, join Olivia Magdalena, Magdalene Priestess and Professional Psychic, for a deep dive into the lost gospel of Mary Magdalene. We’ll explore the theological, energetic, and mythical context of the gospel. This sets the scene for the next several episodes which will explore each of the 7 powers of the ego named in Mary’s gospel. Episode 3, which explores the first power (darkness) will be live immediately as well, so you can listen to both back to back.

“the resurrection cycle does not solely belong to the Christian canon. One of the earliest, most ancient, and most significant resurrection stories we see is in the Sumerian goddess Inanna. She is the queen of heaven who descends into the underworld. She passes through seven gates in the underworld and suffers greatly and goes through this death cycle and then is returned and resurrected after three days. We see this in the Egyptian story the Egyptian mythos of the goddess Isis and her lover, Osiris, the sun god, who was split into seven pieces. And Isis finds the seven pieces of him and resurrects him. She brings him, the sun god, back to life”

“those of us who now have found our way to the truth of her (mary magdalene),

to the truth of her gospel,

to other powerful figures like Thecla,

who reveal themselves to us through these sacred texts that have been uncovered,

and we say,

oh…

I needed though to go through what I was going through in order to access you.

I had to have the pain in order to step forward into my own prophecy

I had to allow myself.

I had to cultivate a life in one place.

one version of reality in one version of truth so that when my truth revealed itself to

me I could recognize it when my own truth revealed itself to me I could recognize it”

“this third power of the ego of ignorance and

It is, in my perspective, the mind's insistence on seeing the body as less than what it is.

It is the patriarchal,

colonial,

capitalistic insistence on seeing the body as a means to an end rather than the

means and the end.

rather than the home of so many ancient truths,

rather than our greatest communicator,

it gives us advantage as deeply spiritual beings to have this deeply human body to

move through and in physicality.

That is a gift.

That is strategic, I believe, too, on our part.

We are here to make physical change.”

“(a re-imagining) of Persephone as grieving in equal parts.

She grieves when she leaves the underworld because she'll miss her people.

She'll miss the shadow.

She'll miss her husband.

She grieves when she descends into the underworld because she'll miss her mother.

She'll miss the outside world.

She'll miss the flowers, right

And so, there's a reimagining of an idea,

of the underworld not as a punishment or as a place for her to go to be

miserable

but rather is a place that helps her to understand her power”

“what the living do” is a reference to marie howe’s book of poetry — and specifially this poem, called what the living do:

“Johnny, the kitchen sink has been clogged for days, some utensil probably fell down there.And the Drano won’t work but smells dangerous, and the crusty dishes have piled up

waiting for the plumber I still haven’t called. This is the everyday we spoke of.It’s winter again: the sky’s a deep, headstrong blue, and the sunlight pours through

the open living-room windows because the heat’s on too high in here and I can’t turn it off.For weeks now, driving, or dropping a bag of groceries in the street, the bag breaking,

I’ve been thinking: This is what the living do. And yesterday, hurrying along thosewobbly bricks in the Cambridge sidewalk, spilling my coffee down my wrist and sleeve,

I thought it again, and again later, when buying a hairbrush: This is it.Parking. Slamming the car door shut in the cold. What you called that yearning.

What you finally gave up. We want the spring to come and the winter to pass. We wantwhoever to call or not call, a letter, a kiss—we want more and more and then more of it.

But there are moments, walking, when I catch a glimpse of myself in the window glass,say, the window of the corner video store, and I’m gripped by a cherishing so deep

for my own blowing hair, chapped face, and unbuttoned coat that I’m speechless:I am living. I remember you.”
