Dare to Weave Your Magic?

We're Banishing What Would Otherwise Overtake Us  I've been re-immersed in the sacred creativity practice of Consecreation from The Magdalene Path. As I guided participants in the Magdalene Path Course through the practice, I realized a connection. I’m so moved right now by the changing of the seasons. It’s All Hallows Eve, AKA Halloween or Samhain--All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days in the Christian tradition. It’s a potent time and a sacred place at our wheel of the year. The season of  Harvest is put to rest and we turn inward. As the leaves turn, change and fall, we deepen

Your Soul’s Authentic, Exquisite Creativity Revealed

2018-02-22T21:05:02+00:00

Autumn is here and with it that realization—with shock or relief--that much of 2017 is behind us.   And as the leaves turn, change and fall, there’s that sense (all year, really) of so much breaking down and changing all around us. It’s been quite a year, hasn’t it? We’ve been surrounded with news of fires (nearby and far) along with other horrendous human and natural calamities. Some moments its felt as if all I’ve held previous is shattering. Other moments are filled with hope and awe for humanity and our courage and daring to not submit to forces that would

Unveiling Magdalene: Your Divine Legacy

2018-02-22T20:43:27+00:00

Oh my Goddess, As I dig into each module of the upcoming Magdalene Path on-line course--which starts next week by the way ;) --I’m in awe at the what is coming forward. What I’m seeing is deeper, more relevant and timely than I realized. Just as the forces of Light and Dark seem perilously out of balance. I’m also overjoyed to see a small group of women gathering from all over the globe, to sit in this circle and explore the Magdalene Mysteries. Are you to sit among us? What She has to reveal is so potent, sisters.  When we

Our Lineage Was Stolen

2018-02-22T20:28:51+00:00

It’s time to name that our soul lineage was stolen, sisters. Our sense of embodied divinity reflected in a Divine Feminine deity was corrupted and co-opted thousands of years ago, when masculine power became the dominating spiritual and political force. There was a time when the Feminine was sacred (along with--not instead of--the masculine.) With Her honoring, the ways of compassionate communication, direct connection to source, sacred creativity and reverence for the Earth were practiced. But just because that loss happened long ago, we’re still impacted today. While women (especially white) have more power and equality than ever, patriarchy (white

Calling My Magdalene Sisters

2017-09-18T20:47:41+00:00

Beloved... A friend dropped in unexpectedly yesterday. She lives 2 hours away and showed up unannounced. She leaned in and said, ”I saw your pictures from Avalon. I want to hear about your trip. Tell me.” She practically cornered me and asked, “And what about Mary Magdalene? How does she hold missing pieces for us as women today? I know there’s more to the tale we’re told….” We talked for another hour. Or two. I shared what I knew, felt, sensed and experienced about Magdalene and Her myths, messages and meaning for modern women. And she was on her way.

Magdalene Path Course is Here!

2017-09-15T23:11:00+00:00

Beloved... For years since writing and publishing The Magdalene Path, I’ve been wanting to create an on-line course: a virtual group experience to take women into a deeper exploration and experience of the Magdalene Mysteries—the myth, metaphors and meaning of Mary Magdalene. Let’s explore why we are so drawn to Her.  And then take Her message & meaning into our own lives. I often am asked: So who was she really? Was she a prostitute, priestess or wife of Jesus? We sense that there’s more to Magdalene than the traditional Catholic story tells. And many, myself included, have been drawn

Avalon is Real, Sister!

2017-09-07T19:27:06+00:00

Hey Sister! It’s been a few weeks since I returned from my priestess pilgrimage to western England, where I spent 8 days exploring and experiencing the magic of Avalon and Glastonbury in rural western England. I hardly know what to say—which you know is rare. ;) I traveled with 19 other women, priestesses of various traditions from 9 different countries around the world. We visited and explored the sacred ancient and early-Christian sites, that have been held sacred for millennia. We entered a deep alchemical space, full of myth metaphor, ritual and magic. To say it was amazing is an

Liberation from Self Sabotage: 3 Powerful Tools

2017-08-30T23:04:09+00:00

I’m just back from my priestessing pilgrimage to Avalon, where I gathered with 19 other women from around the world to remember and reweave the lost lineage of Christ and Magdalene, the Christess. No words for all this yet, I’m still weaving in that transformational experience. (image from the Chalice Well in Glastonbury--powerful place!) Then integrating this shift with the big energy of the Great Eclipse this week. Were you in the Path of Totality? Things are different. What was no longer is. You notice it, too? In weeks to come I'll be sharing about some online experiences you can

What Do You Mean: I’m Not Creative?

2017-08-19T00:54:49+00:00

Creativity expands us in so many ways. And yet I hear all the time, "I'm not creative." Total hogwash--why would you say that about yourself? Look at all the creative problem-solving, decision-making,  and life management you do in any given day--with your kids, at work... And don't you create beauty, through those small things, little touches, in your world every week? Sure, not all of our meals or garden beds are works of art, but I bet they are sometimes. When you give it time and energy. Right? Believing in yourself as a creative spirit gives you confidence in what

Magdalene Mysteries Virtual Retreat {Replay}

2017-08-19T00:34:40+00:00

Sister ! I'm so excited! On Saturday, 13 of us gathered via video and phone to create virtual temple space together and explore the hidden lore and largely forgotten spiritual wisdom of Magdalene, on her Holy Feast Day. Here's the replay I promised, so you can enter the Temple of She. I outted my inner perfectionist and dared to do it anyway.  And imperfect it is! Join us and discover who Mary Magdalene really is, and what her message is for you. (Whether you’re Christian or not, she’s relevant now.) If you’re drawn to the mystery of the Magdalene or
