Holy oil - Holy Spirit - holy fire

In the middle of a sacred oil transmission in Glastonbury as part of the Magdalene priest.ess course. The importance of sacred oils cannot be underestimated in the Path of the Magdalene or the Egyptian priest.ess path. Christ was anointed by Mary Magdalene and became the anointed one - he entered into the heart of his sacred purpose through Magdalene’s initiation. Yeshua’s resurrection was prepared for by anointing his body - an art MM, Mary and other women of the holy family mastered.

Working with sacred oils is a highly alchemical art. The essential oil represents the soul of the plant - the soul essence of the plant communicates directly with our soul and reinforces our alignment to our soul and divine essence. The work with the plant facilitates healing on a soul-level.
Introducing the purest frequency of a plant being into our energetic field, psyche, body, sparks an alchemical process of purification and healing - dissolving the parts of us that are no longer aligned to our divine self, while simultaneously reminding us of our essence and reinforcing that essence within.

Mary Magdalene - or how myth and storytelling can go wrong

As a translator and someone who loves language I know all too well how language can be weaponised and used as a tool of oppression and distorsion. Historically, the texts and narratives that have survived are the versions compiled by the oppressors and the conquerors, people with a strong agenda. Consistently the voices of the groups of people that dis not controll or rule our world have been diminished, erased and even purposely changed to cast them in a different light. Some of the founding stories that have determined the very structures our societies and western-oriented patriarcal thought structures are based on are rife with bias and falsehood. Mary Magdalene’s story being one of them.

The problem with Mary Magdalene’s story is the following:
* she lived in a time and society that was highly patriarcal - there was a lot of mistrust towards the powerful feminine
* there was a power grab within the group of the closest disciplines after Yeshua’s death - even-though Y had intended for Mary Magdalene to continue their ministry and guide the disciples, some decided that they were a better fit and started a slander campaign to justify their choice
* over the course of history manuscripts that were written by women or that told a different story than the narrative adopted by the Catholic Church were hidden or destroyed
* it aligned with the agenda of the Catholic Church to malign women and keep them out of positions of religious power, so they continued the original false storyline and amplified it by making up a story of MM as a prostitue - they have since rectified this and apologised, but many ill-informed catholics still think she was a prostitue
* even if many of the disciples did support MM, they didn’t understand the extent of her power and importance, because they hadn’t been initiated and didn’t have the spiritual, philosophical and intellectual framework to understand the deeper mystery teachings of MM & Y

Luckily, we have now started to rewrite some of the stories and myths to reconnect a more complete, layered and nuanced version of our shared history on this planet.

As we know, the spiritual community is not a bubble that is separate from the rest and of society, as much as some people would like to pretend it is. This means that even within spirituality, we are faced with a lot of the prejudices and stereotypes that exist in our global society due to centuries of patriarcal programming.

In this video I share some of the things I have faced and continue to face on my path as a female spiritual teacher - all stereotypes I seek to dissolve and stories I aim to rewrite by initiating men and women into the mysteries of the divine mother.

Some of the hurdles I go into :

1) the difficulty people have accepting women who claim space as a priestess or as a female spiritual teacher
2) the fact that as a woman, choosing your spiritual path as your priority is not taken seriously
3) the fact that the feminine spiritual path is seen as less serious or intense (without exception by those with zero experience on this path) as a path with a more masculine approach

Well… let’s just say I’m more than a little motivated to change this and I’m supported on this path of redemption and revaluing of the divine feminine path by some pretty badass females such as Mary and Mary Magdalene.

The sword of the Magdalene - an energy that is unshakeable, unmovable

The sword of the Magdalene is a very real, tangible energy that descends when the frequency of the Magdalene starts to be really embodied.
There is a threshold that is crossed, a point of no return - you can no longer unknow what you know, you cannot unfeel what you felt - your cells have felt a resonance with truth and a light has been awakened that can no longer be extinguished. An inner axis of faith is established - a compass that will always point to our true north. We go from being a desperate seeker - trying all the spiritual practices, ceremonies, paths available on this planet - to being a determined pilgrim who knows their path. We’ve found our inner tree of life - and sure we can move up and down the branches of the tree - but the tree itself never goes away.

This doesn’t exclude curiosity and discovery, we keep learning and evolving, but there is an inner anchor that grounds us in an eternal knowing and belonging that no longer withers - no matter how strong external pressures or opposition may be. There is a great sense of peace and tremendous strength that comes with that.

Which is also why people who carry the frequency of the sword of the Magdalene are confrontational - not only do they carry themselves with a certain confidence - they also become less available to manipulation. The stronger the presence of the inner sword - forged in faith - the more we are able to detect BS and differentiate between truth and illusion. And in a world that is built on illusion - this is perceived as a dangerous thing. For the more people awaken the energy of the sword, the more the illusions that held up our current broken paradigm will crumble and our world will change.

Repost of this Magdalene Prayer as she is SO present over this full moon.

Yesterday as I drove past Stonehenge to come to Glastonbury for a Magdalene initiation, she shared these words with me “you are my relic” - what she communicated was that not only I was recipient of her holiness, but that the whole of humanity is the relic - the sacred recipient of her sainthood and her teachings. We are what remains of her light, when we remember, we bring her back to life.

And as by magic, my music popped back on in the car just as I drove past the stone circle - My phone had been refusing to play my music for over 40 minutes - with these words from Rosalia’s song:

Pero mi corazón nunca ha sido mío, yo siempre lo doy,
Coge un trozo de mi, quédatelo pa’cuando no esté
Seré tu reliquia
Soy tu reliquia
Seré tu reliquia

Full moon in Gemini - the mind is on turbo mode - Hoorah

I for one have been feeling it, how about you?
Woke up this morning with a dream of my brain exploding and becoming a supernova with Very precise visions of my neural pathways extending out of my head and becoming pathways to the stars.

I have been feeling, and seeing, the dimensional shift more and more these past couple of months and weeks - i feel we are increasingly glitching from the limited into the absolute, cracks are appearing in space time and information and energy are pouring in from beyond this world of limitation.

Very trippy, and also, absolutely preparation for the way our reality is shifting. We are being asked to create space for the birth into the miraculous in our consciousness and in our mind. To face our resistance to the unknown and to our own expansion - and to prepare for a return to divine consciousness and creation.

What do you choose to believe in?
What do you want to believe in?
What are the beliefs you are letting go of?

Part of the body of the Earth - Being the earth and women physically midwifing the birth of the new earth

My most beautiful dreams are earth dreams. I have recurrent dreams where I am the earth. My body is hers, her body is mine. These are very lucid and physical experiences - one dream was feeling nauseous (and actually vomiting when I woke up) from the plastic in my body - it felt like parasites in my gut. I have been overwhelmed with grief as the earth - my human self crying in my dream - as I felt the epidemic of death all over m body.

My most beautiful dram was also an earth dream. I was myself - a woman - walking in a forest that looked and felt like the boreal forest and came upon a clearing within a circle of ferns. I was feeling inebriated with the beauty and the smells of the forest, enchanted by the light and life emitting from every leaf, every branch. I laid down on soft, mulch the forest floor, within the circle of ferns and started synching with the earth - our heartbeat became one, I merged with the forest, one breath was moving through us. My body fully surrendered, relaxed and open, I started or**sming - as of life itself were making love through me. As I climaxed, I expanded and became the forest in or**sm and I then expanded to become the planet in ecstasy. I could zoom in and out while this was happening - simultaneously feel myself as the planet in or**sm and as a blade of grass, a leaf, a flower climaxing. The micro and the macro carried the exact same magnitude of bliss, one nectar flowing through everything.

2 nights ago I dreamt I was the earth pregnant. My feeling was mixed - a feeling of not having the ideal circumstances to support the birth, but also an overwhelming feeling of the absolute bliss of the pregnancy - I could feel a beautiful, radiant new light blooming within my belly, growing. I, as the planet felt beautiful, full, ecstatic, gorgeous - even if there was a slight noise of worry in the background.

These dreams are hyperreal, very physical and incredibly detailed, colourful, sensory experiences. (Rest in comments) photo credit .beyou

Humans used to be embedded in the elements, live with the cycles of nature and the cycles of the seasons, move through life with the earth, breathing and growing as one body.

Sacred springs were honoured as portals and mirrors of the divine. By honouring the holy waters, people received the gift of remembrance of what lays beyond - and through this gift they received abundance, belonging and meaning.

In ancient Egypt the spinal chord of the whole society was the river Nile, all the temples were built around this sacred serpent, the mirror image of the Milky Way, the great wyvern that brings release from the spell of illusion and freedom through remembrance of truth. The Nile was so important that it was included in the negative confession in the moon of the dead - people promised to never pollute, dishonour or obstruct the Nile during their lifetime - echoing the promise they made to never obstruct the flow of the divine in their being.

Honouring the sacred waters once again will help us regain the gift of remembering, the oracular gift of foresight and of being able to listen to the voice of God/Goddess without obstruction. The waters never stopped speaking to us, it is time we start listening once again.

Phoenix magic, I know it well in this lifetime.

I feel like I have been symbolically crucified and reborn a couple of times and it has completely changed the way in which I approach challenges or life’s initiations. I have seen the way in which some of life’s tougher experiences have broken me open and expanded me into a vaster experience of life and depth of understanding the energetic subtleties and fabric of our reality.

I no longer run away from challenges, I accept them and move through them in a different way. My younger self was definitely in the “woe is me”-mindset of little self - why is this happening to me? When will this be over? - my current self is able to see and taste grace even in the depths of a death process. My faith doesn’t waver, nor does my belief in God or in the divine within.

Being initiated into the mystery schools of ancient Egypt and of the rose has helped anchor an understanding of cycles of death and birth within my being, allowing me to move through them with more ease. I now identify as much with the physical, limited self as the self beyond, it creates movement, possibility and potential - whatever the external circumstances might look like.

It has changed my life profoundly over the years. I make choices that seem risky or strange to others, but I cannot base my choices on the world of illusion anymore, I am guided by something beyond, something more expansive and alive.

What a blessing to be able to be reborn multiple times within one lifetime.

Help me write this book. What would you ask Mary Magdalene?

Are there any burning questions you have for Mary Magdalene? What is something you’ve always wanted to know? What is something you find strange in her story and would like some clarity about?

I’m sure you have questions I don’t have and vice versa. Maybe I’ll get the opportunity to formulate an answer to some of your questions.
