In this first episode of a new chapter in The Wilde Rose podcast, I explore the many layers of Mary Magdalene’s story through scripture, suppressed texts, legend, and my twenty plus year exploration of her story.

There are many claims and versions of what happened to Mary Magdalene after the resurrection. While they all cannot be fact, each one holds some frequency that draws us in, individually. Providing a place to begin our remembering through her as the archetypal of the feminine.

If you’ve felt the call to go deeper into Magdalene, the feminine, or the stories beneath the story this episode will provide the clues and threads as to where the legends and stories come from.

Here’s what I explore:

• Why the “prostitute” label stuck, and when. Plus how the church quietly reversed the label in the last 50 years.
• What the early councils really decided (and didn’t).
• The truth about the Gnostic gospels and when they were discovered.
• Magdalene as frequency, not just figure.
• What I felt sitting in the cave at Sainte-Baume.
