All kinds of strategies and slander campaigns have been fabricated over the centuries to justify the greatest injustice - casting the goddess out of the temple and banishing women from spiritual offices.

What’s important is that we as modern-day priestesses and spiritual seekers don’t perpetuate the myths that have caused humanity so much harm.

Magdalene was a ta***ic initiate - in the traditional sense of the word - she had an incredible level of energetic mastery.

Because she was mislabelled for so long as a pr******te and because of distortions created in our collective consciousness through neo-ta**ra and new age spiritual inventions such as temple prostitution, it has become very tricky to address Mary Magdalene as a woman of flesh and blood in a loving relationship with her husband Yeshua, or to speak about her ta***ic training without adding to the confusion and distortion.

This post is about what ta**ra is not, come join me Tomorrow to find out how Mary Magdalene navigated the world as a ta***ic being.

Preparing for Heart of the Rose this weekend.

Two years ago I shared a workshop around the mystical meaning of the rosary - this is us in the video walking the rosary on the land and this year I’m very happy to be sharing a talk and workshop on Magdalene ta**ra.

This festival is one of those places where you can come to rest and be inspired, and really drop in and go deeper with the women who are attending and sharing their magic. I’ve met some of my closest sisters and most magical humans at this gathering, people who are so important in my life right now and inspire me every day - a real gathering of beautiful rose soul tribe and sisters on the path celebrating each other.

I hope you will join me and many other beautiful women to nourish and elevate each other.

Quand Marie-Madeleine est arrivée sur mon chemin, je ne m'attendais absolument pas à ce que cela donnerait naissance à autant de changements dans ma vie, ni à fonder plus t**d une communauté, un enseignement et une école de mystères autour des enseignements qu'elle partageait avec son bien-aimé. Quand on suit le fil que la vie nous tend, il nous emmène toujours dans des endroits plus merveilleux qu'on ne puisse imaginer.

La Voie de la Madeleine et cette communauté sont nées de la rencontre avec Marie-Madeleine et d'années d'écoute et d'apprentissage avec Elle sur la terre d'Avalon. Mi-septembre les portes du temple de la Madeleine s'ouvrent à nouveau et lundi prochain, le 31 août à 19h00, vous pouvez participer gratuitement à la soirée "temple de la Madeleine" pour découvrir tout ce qui est partagé à l'intérieur du sanctuaire de la Madeleine.

The doors of the new year initiation of the Magdalene Temple are opening in September.

The Magdalene temple pulls on an ancient thread, part of an ancient and universal weave composed of the sacred marriage traditions of the east, the rose as a symbol of alchemical transformation in hermetic thought, the rose of the beloved in Sufi mysticism, Sophia of the philosophers’ schools of Alexandria, the divine mother in Egyptian cosmology and so much more… Rich, soulful, deep and colourful mystical traditions before they were flattened by doctrine and disfigured into obligation.

This path is a study of the mysteries, of the very foundation of life, of the workings of the soul and spirit. Embodied gnosis through direct experience of the divine - as it was always meant to be.

Monday 31st of August at 7.30pm uk - 11.30 pdt you can receive a sneak peak into the Magdalene temple
Comment or DM Magdalene to receive the free link to participate.

Why we gather.

Every July with my dear sisters Caroline Glazebrook and Chloé Mercer we organise the Sacred Magdalene festival in Glastonbury - a way for us to honour the woman and path that gave so much to us and to revive the ancient tradition of pilgrimage of light and singing and praying the song lines to life to contribute to the wellbeing of our Earth.

This year the energy felt very peaceful - I feel we were able to rest in this field of peace because of all the groundwork that had been done by so many of us for so many years. Talking about Mary Magdalene felt a little bit like bring in the trenches 10 years ago, and now she has almost become a household name in spiritual communities - she is more on the surface of our collective consciousness- and that’s a win. Even if those of us who care about the integrity of the teachings also face new challenges as more people are stepping into the space as “teachers” without being sufficiently healed or initiated to hold one of the most alchemical spaces there is.

But the reason why we gather goes beyond her and sharing and honouring her ministry. We gather because we care about what is happening on and to our planet, we gather because we get strength from supporting each other - and those of us that organise theses gatherings know the amount of work that goes into them but feel the importance of them. Ofcourse, these festivals are opportunities for learning, but there is something more important that happens in the being together, something that is bring received just by being in the field of people who hold and have integrated thd medicine and the lineage. I see these meetings as nodes on the new web of life that were all weaving together - and this matters.

There are beautiful weavings happening on this planet right now between wisdom keepers, conscious and indigenous communities, teachers, lineage holders, etc. For 2 years now the Sacred Magdalene Festival has been weaving with the beautiful Heart of the Rose that is happening next week - we’re in this together, moving in the same direction. I hope you join us at the Heart of the Rose festival in Eridge 4-7/09.

Reconnecting to Mary Magdalene is important because she represents a crucial step in the sacred alchemical process of transformation of self. Without her – and the embedding within the divine feminine she offers – the transmutation cannot be completed and our change is temporary instead of lasting. We can access fleeting states of increased consciousness and awareness, but there is no physical, embodied change without the bride or the beloved companion. I believe that as John, Yeshua and Magdalene grew closer, they organically embodied certain steps of the alchemical process and their ministries wove together into one great trinity of resurrection of the light body.

John facilitated through his baptism a return to God-consciousness – and common sense – lifting the veils of illusion and immersing people back into universal consciousness of non-separation and non-duality. He opened the gate to the path of alignment and walking alongside the divine.

Yeshua released himself and humanity of the binding structures and shapes of the limited shadow consciousness that we had been existing inside of for centuries. He broke the chains of spiritual enslavement and freed our minds and spirits.

Mary Magdalene prepared the body to receive the freed spiritual self back into the temple of self – she integrated the light body into physical form and completed the great alchemical rite of the hieros gamos of the spirit and the body, becoming herself the dwelling place of God on earth and an undiluted and undistorted expression thereof.

Medicine festival 2026 – what an epic adventure: An 11000-person gathering in the midst of a heatwave and draught, starting on an eclipse – a brave undertaking. It was intense and beautiful.

Some of my favourite humans on the planet were there – and I enjoyed their company so much that I don’t have a single picture of us together… I realise that these gatherings have become more about being together as a family for me, that I’m there because I feel the importance of the weaving that is happening and I wish to contribute to the field of love that is being created. I truly believe it anchors something – a pulse, a frequency in people attending, a lasting guidepost in the journey of life. In these times of challenge in our world, these reunions help us feel supported, we feel and see that we’re moving forward together, in our unique ways, but in the same direction.

Like many others I was there in part to share my medicine - and I do love speaking and teaching about my spiritual lineage - but it is the weaving of all of us together that is more important. The coming together of pillars of truth and light from all corners of the world: wisdom keepers, lineage holders, healers, teachers, shamans, etc. – creating a forcefield because they are upright in their medicine, inspiring others to find theirs and devote themselves fully to it. So much gratitude for all the beautiful humans contributing their magic and beauty to the collective field – the artisans, the seekers, the teachers, the vendors, the organisers, the volunteers, the friends – old ones and new ones. My heart is full of so many beautiful moments shared – what a joy and a gift to have chosen to live this life together on this tiny, beautiful planet.

Thank you to the whole MEDICINE for weaving us all together in very challenging circumstances – especially Jo Bennett you are epic and Heart of the Rose, Sophie Nevill 🌹 - thank you for bringing the Rose family together and Basia bird and .ananta.love for the gorgeous temple spaces you created.

Mary Magdalene and the whole Essene community, many of the disciples and apostles and all members of the holy family were devotees of the divine mother. They understood that in severing our connection with Her, we also damaged our connection with the divine, with the planet, with each other and with this whole community of life we are part of.

To go back to holistic living, we need to find our way back to her. Feminine intelligence is relational: if I modify this part of my life, how will it affect all others - and this is also how we will move forward in life - by lifting each other up and moving forward together. We work with the field, the weaving of life instead of pretending we are separate and reinforcing the illusion of separation.
