Reflections on Mary
Magdalene
(Taken from the introduction of the Magdalene Oracle
Guidebook)
To me, Magdalene is not solely a biblical figure; rather, she is a
modern day Goddess who holds a most sacred and ancient wisdom;
organic and tactile, and deeply connected to our beautiful planet.
Magdalene lives eternally through present day women and she will no
doubt continue to be a source of inspiration for women in
generations to come.
Her wisdom is beyond words, images or concepts. She is an
archetypal spirit, soft and gentle, yet strong and unswayable.
Magdalene stands firmly in her truth, representing strength and
dignity.
She assists in elevating the status of women around the globe and
helps free both men and women from the closed mind sets that have
kept the true beauty, wisdom and creative essence of the feminine
spirit from fully emerging.
I had never given Magdalene much thought until recently. While
giving my wife, Martine, a Reiki some months ago I became aware of
the spiritual presence of Jesus and Mother Mary, as I often do.
However, during the session I felt the presence of a third,
somewhat shadowy figure, which I intuitively recognized as Mary
Magdalene.
Magdalene's energy feels distinctly different from Mother Mary's. I
would not describe Magdalene's energy as maternal. She appears dark
and mysterious, partly hidden from view; like silver moonlight
shining through the clouds on cool dark night. She stands proud
regardless of what others think of her or how they choose to label
her. For centuries there have been many who have sought to diminish
her worth through lies, intimidation and even physical and
emotional abuse. Yet in spite of this, Magdalene's presence and
influence remains.
Magdalene represents different things to different people. The
following passage written by my friend, Moon Yin, I think
beautifully captures the essence of what Magdalene represents to
many of us.
"The Biblical figure of Mary Magdalene represents the archetypal
neglected Feminine principle, fluttering at the edge of our dreams.
She hovers at the doors of the moon-lit collective unconscious,
awaiting our invitation to enter.
Magdalene is the dancing Dark Goddess of gentle strength and
authority, bearer of infinite compassion. She is the healer of the
wounded female, healing the desolate places of the heart, where lie
the issues of abandonment and betrayal which all women carry. She
holds up to them the mirror of their true nature, in which they
will see themselves reflected in all their beauty and power, and
thereby step into their wholeness."
