Mind Body & Soul Book Review: 14 Steps to Awaken the Sacred Feminine - Women in the Circle of Mary Magdalene by Joan Norton and Margaret Starbird. Published by Bear & Co. US $14 : Can $17.
Each chapter provides a lesson/group activity as taken from the structure of the Los Angeles Magdalene Circle based on Margaret Starbird’s work with Mary Magdalene as the married female counterpart to Jesus. This Mary is the Bridegroom, Mary of Bethany, as well as the Mary of the Gnostic gospels. Information about her life with Jesus and also her journey by boat by France.
Each meeting involves a prayer, music, sharing of experiences, meditation, scripture reading, describing dreams, channelling, journaling, and other group and solo practices. Poems included and a rosary devoted to the Magdalene.
This is an excellent book for holding small gatherings to honour and channel Mary Magdalene, not a prostitute as the Roman Church insisted, but as female spiritual teacher and holy person who bore the child of Jesus after his death. At the back of the book are resource pages.
Recommended. Get a new group together and follow the method of meetings in this book!
