Invoking Mary Magdalene: Accessing the Wisdom of the Divine Feminine

Recent discoveries of sacred texts such as the Gospel of Mary of Magdala and the Gospel of Thomas tell us that Mary Magdalene was independent, insightful, and courageous-a woman so inspirational that her voice can still be heard across the ages. In Invoking Mary Magdalene, religious scholar Siobhan Houston invites you to develop your own personal relationship with one of Jesus' closest disciples, as she instructs you in a daily devotional practice of prayers, meditations, and visualizations from around the world. With the exercises in this book and on the accompanying CD, Houston offers step-by-step guidance for accessing the wisdom of the Divine Feminine that Mary Magdalene represents, as you explore: Novenas, rosaries, and seasonal rituals from the Gnostic, Kabbalistic, and Grail traditions, How to connect to Mary Magdalene in her Dark Goddess aspect to unleash your own fierce power-the energy that turns fear and illusion into healing and renewal, "Reveling in bliss": realizing a euphoric adoration of the Divine that eclipses all earthly concerns, and much more.
