We’re talking about honoring Magdalene today over on the GoddessChristians forum. Some of us are re-dedicating our altars to Her and I got out my red egg, placed it on the altar in our home-chapel, lit a special candle, called over my three little girls and the rest of the family (eleven people living in my house these days!), etc.  We remembered how Jesus said in Mark 14 and Matthew 26 that everywhere his story was told, her anointing of him would be told “in memory of Her.”
There are no huge celebrations for Our Lady Magdalene, no Christmas or Easter holidays for the veiled goddess of Christianity, but we can start to change that, make this a holy day, “holiday”.  Just saying her name, the First Lady of Christianity, is enough to “remember Her.” ee Mog-duh-lay-nuh is the Greek pronounciation of “the Magdalene,” and you can add in MEER-ee-ah at the beginning. That’s how Mary Magdalene is written in the New Testament — always in Greek, of course. In Aramaic it would be Maryam Magdala (or Migdala, pronounced Mig-DOLL-ah). (I think!)
We also played Katherine Conrad’s awesome song, Mary Magdalene.  If only I knew how to upload music to this page…  You can get the song and other goddessy tunes here on Katherine’s website.  Her band is called Aurora.  http://aurorasong.com  Margaret Starbird is very fond of her music.  The CD Pagosa Rose is the one with the Mary Magdalene song.  Margaret’s favorite song is on their Mystery CD.  I use two songs from Pagosa Rose in my slide-show presentations.  Talk about our Christian Goddess in music…
I am gonna have to figure out how to make YouTube videos so I can put my Magdalene slideshow to the song and make it available for viewing. Â Now if only I knew the first thing about it. <laugh>
Other Magdalene authors and presenters are up to cool things today.

Blessed Magdalene Feast Day to everyone . Perhaps the Earth herself is recognizing this Feast Day of the Magdalene by “putting up” a crop circle with intricate mathematical workings , some aspects which add up to the Magdalene number of 153. This intricate and beautiful crop circle appeared on July 20. Go here to see it . http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/westwoods2/westwoods2008.html
and here to read about the “153”.

  I’ve heard Margaret tell audiences that when she spoke to John Michell, author of New Light on the Ancient Mystery of Glastonbury, and an authority on both gematria and the symbolism of crop circles, about the number “153” being the gematria code for “the Magdalene”, he indicated to her that perhaps it was her job to bring this forth to the world.(I’m paraphrasing) Thank you Margaret!
  Here in Los Angeles we had an Isis-Mary Magdalene Birthday Tea last weekend, bringing together the goddess community and the “new” Magdalene Christians. Thank you to Karen Tate for feeling strongly about this sisterhood.
  Our own Loretta Kemsley will be on Karen’s internet radio show this Wednesday night July 23 in honor of Magdalene’s Feast Day. Lore, you uplift this discussion list with your wit and intelligence…I look forward to listening to you.

   Happy Feast Day to Us All, May Her Abundance Grow in Sacred Union…

So what are you doing for Magdalene’s Feastday? Â How do you revere her, honor her today or other days?Â

A very happy St Mary Magdalene day to us all. Here in England we will celebrate my own personal patron saint. A woman who is so inspiring to so many people, she is the mother of the universe.
My fiancee and I were blessed to have our first marriage preparation class on the feast day of the Magdalene.
Thanks, Katia, for letting us in on your personal Magdalene Day with your family.Bless your heart for taking care of so many! I love the red egg story, At the Isis-Magdalene Birthday Tea there was a storyteller and that’s the story she told. It’s so wonderfully dramatic. I bet it’s one that grows and grows in popularity. My Magdalene Day was an interesting combination of quietness and loudness. In my quietness I had quite an “inner communication” about the crop circles and their importance as communications from Goddess in Sacred Union to the cosmos. I wrote a little bit more about it in my blog this morning and I think there will be more to say. In my loudness I had the opportunity to talk on a local radio show about our beloved Mary Magdalene. The show’s hostess is Roman Catholic so she was interesting to talk to.
I was very surprised to be led into the crop circle discussion on Her day, because I thought the celebrations were over for the year. But no, the Sacred Union of earth and cosmos is afoot. I believe that our understand of ourselves as the divine pattern of the Sacred Union of masculine and feminine is the basis of the New Creation, which is certainly expressed in the encounters with the unknown of the crop circles. Mysterious times we live in.
Goodness to us all,
Joan
