So grateful for an evening celebrating and honoring another sacred threshold as we transitioned into the next phase of the Wheel of the Year - Lughnasadh! The presence of Divine Mother was strong as she wove her magic through our ceremonies, voices, stories, prayers, flowers, bats, cats, elements, ancestors, fire, a lovely old Maple and sisterhood. The veil was thin. 🌀

There was a moment when I peeked open my eyes during our ceremonial closing as we were encircled around the fire. The moon was out and our arms were raised towards the sky in honor of life itself - I had a glimmer of an ancient remembrance of a sisterhood that stretched through lifetimes, all the while scratching a deep rooted witchy itch! 🧙‍♀️

The value of being connected to a sisterhood like this is priceless. Blessed be. ✨🙏🏻✨

The synchronicities in my life around the Magdalene continue to blow my mind.

For those of you interested in astrology and the Divine Feminine, this is what I recently gathered from receiving a natal chart reading on the Magdalena astroid.

Collectively there is a cosmic push toward integrating shadow and light, especially in narratives around femininity, spirituality, and historical truth. An expansion of spiritual awareness around Mary Magdalene as the oppressed divine feminine while challenging patriarchal narratives and revealing hidden truths has nearly exploded in the collective consciousness. Maybe you can relate?

In my personal chart - with the Magdalena astroid shows an inner force propelling me to expose Mary Magdalene in a bold way whether others want to accept her true story or not. This shows up as the condescending condemnation I’ve been receiving from my judgmental Christian family whenever I do a post about her (which only encourages me to want to do it more). My chart also shows that this propelling force is coming from inheritance which aligns with my recent discovery that my great great grandmother’s name is Mary Magdalene. 🤯

And another synchronicity-the Michigan Druids are planning to come to one of my ceremonial talks on Mary Magdalene. And I recently learned that the Druids are said to have helped her travel safely to England and established a home for her there. 🧙🏻‍♂️

I’m incredibly thankful that Divine Mother has created this path for me with billboards, and neon lights illuminating the way down the journey of reviving Miryam of Magdala. While meeting so many beautiful souls along the way.

So far, I have two events scheduled in September, a retreat in October and I’m currently in the midst of planning a guided week long retreat to her crypt, and two caves (one is less well known - the mysterious Cave of Eggs) in Southern France, May of 2026!

I’d also like to create a virtual talk for those of you who are not local.

Explore my links in my bio to reclaim the Divine Feminine within ourselves, and our lives while we collectively shift from a male dominated age to the age of cosmic divine union. 🌹🙏🏻🌹

May you be blessed on this sacred threshold of Lughnasadh. On this ancient Celtic holy day - may we honor Spirit as it dances with Nature through its fractals of life, death and rebirth. May we celebrate in gratitude the beginning of the harvest season. Whether it’s a hearty piece of bread, the fruits of hard labor, the warmth of the sun, or the life giving moments of every inhalation. May we also celebrate the sacrifice, the letting go, and the necessity of death. Whether it’s giving your bread to others in need, releasing the long day as you settle into nightfall, shedding old patterns of thought that no longer serve your evolution of consciousness, and the closing of the most intimate cycle - the exhalation of the breath.

I honored this day with an introspective pilgrimage to the sacred natural landscape around my home - strengthening the metaphysical lens I use to see Divine Mother in her many forms while using the physical lens of my camera to capture her magical moments in time…

I encourage you during this seasonal transition to spend time in nature, syncing up with her rhythms or in reflective journaling on what this special threshold means for you in your life.

With love. Blessed be. ✨🌾✨

Namaste dear sisters,

Miryam of Magdala has been apart of my spiritual practices for many years, but much more intimately these past few months. And what I’ve come to personally experience from connecting with her frequency is that she is overflowing with a sisterly love that is so powerful it has brought me to silently weep in meditation at her cave in France to sobbing in front of strangers when “spontaneously” finding a shrine dedicated to her on the streets of Glastonbury, England.

Even though she may no longer be in a physical body, she is very much alive in the world and her light codes are strong as she works to awaken the divine feminine within those who listen to her with open hearts. She brings us into remembrance of loving every dark piece of ourselves - weaving the human self with the divine self so that we may also live from this same frequency of love.. and share it with the world.

If you’ve already registered for the retreat this Sunday, you can expect an email tomorrow with reminders and everything you’ll need for a day of honoring, and embodying the enchanting presence of the Magdalene!

If you’d like to be guided to know what messages Miryam would like to share with you too and haven’t registered yet, - please do! Ill be preparing all of our spots tomorrow and the sooner I know you’re coming, the better!

In love,
Shannon

“The companion is Mary of Magdala. Jesus loved her more than his students. He kissed her often on her face, more than all his students, and they said, “Why do you love her more than us?”
The savior answered, saying to them, “Why do I not love you like her? If a blind man and one who sees are together in darkness, they are the same. When light comes, the one who sees will see light. The blind man stays in darkness.” ~ The Gnostic Gospel of Phillip

Miryam and Yeshua saw the light within each other. ✨

This retreat will be a beautiful way to connect with the teachings of EARLY Christianity before the Catholic Church decided to corrupt these mystical teachings with patriarchy and fear. 🙏🏻

I’m soul looking forward to sharing so much more juicy material and sacred ceremonies with you during this retreat as we gather in sisterhood!

Dear Sisters!

I am thrilled and honored to help dismantle Miriam of Magdala’s oppressed status in the Church (as well as her false acquisitions as a pr******te) while helping to deliver her true story and mystical message of radical love, sacred union and divine empowerment out into the world within this full day retreat!

With the growing number of Mary Magdalene books, movies and even music in popular culture - her presence is very much alive in the world today. She is wanting her true story to be heard, and for her medicine to be shared for those who are willing and able to listen and receive it.

During this retreat, each of us will have the opportunity to work with her energy directly from the sacred landscape of her home in Southern France, where I was able to bring back items with me from my recent pilgrimage there.
This includes water from her spring. 💧
Locally harvested wildcrafted herbs. 🌿
And holy anointing oil. 🏺

We will be using all of these items in ceremony together as we embody her presence, her teachings of mysticism and her role as the Divine Feminine.

*For those of you who would like to attend, but are not able due to location, etc.. let me know and if there’s enough interest I’ll create a virtual one or you can wait until next year when I have one in the south of France. 🙏🏻

The retreat will begin promptly at 10am with a simple candle lighting ceremony, an orientation and introductions to get to know each other. We will then become acquainted with Mary Magdalene through an educational slideshow, breaking free from her falsely accused title of a pr******te, and instead inviting her real story to be unearthed. We will explore writings about her in the Bible, the Gnostic Gospels, folk legends, and her current role with the rise of the Divine Feminine, and the evolution of consciousness.

Afterward, we will carpool across the street to the park (weather permitting) to partake in a tea ceremony with sacred herbs from Miriam’s abode in France. We will intuitively pull cards from a Mary Magdalene themed oracle deck, followed by journaling and sharing. Next, we’ll embark in a devotional pedilavium (foot bathing) ritual for each other where we’ll use the sacred waters and oils from where Miriam lived in southern France.

We’ll then return to our original temple space where you’ll be guided with a yoga nidra session into Miriam’s cave - accessing what wishes to be revealed in the recesses of the subconscious.

Next, we’ll close the circle with a prayer and extinguish the opening flame. This will also be a time for a group photoshoot. Finally, we’ll enjoy a healthy dinner with one another for grounding, integration and connection!
