Due to a wee bit of a Uranian or Mercury Trickster formatting issue with the original Mary Magdalene post, I’ve just created it anew. You’ll find it here:

This is a beautiful tribute to Mary M.
In my work with Sophia, and as a result, Mary, I have discovered the reason Mary M was portrayed as a prostitute. The Nag Hammadi texts speak of the True Eve and the false Eve who is defiled by the rulers. Mother Mary represents the True Eve, undefiled by the world, and Mary M represents the false Eve who is defiled by the world. This means Mary M symbolizes the soul who has forgotten who she is and is identified with the world.

Thank you for visiting, Pamela, and for taking the time to share the perspective about the ‘prostituting of Magdalene’. Wisdom teachings are beautifully multi-layered, as what you’ve shared shows. Blessings, Jamie
