The Path of the Magdalene
The Path of the Magdalene is a path of initiation destined for women. It offers a different perspective on who Mary Magdalene was, what she represented and what her relevance is today.
You will get to know her as a priestess of ancient temple mysteries and apostle of apostles. She was an important and valued member of her community and one of the defining figures of human history.
A Path of Healing
The Path of the Magdalene is a path of profound healing that transform misconceptions about femininity and heals wounds caused by exclusion of the feminine principle from all main religions.
It is a path of reconciliation with the masculine within and without, thanks to the fact that we claim our power and any feeling of powerlessness disappears as a consequence. There is deep healing and reconciliation with the sacred because consciously or subconsciously many women have an ambiguous relationship with spirituality because they often felt excluded or judged.
The Path of the Priestess
The fire of anger is transmuted and becomes a fire of action: the sword of Mary Magdalene is placed within and gives unimaginable inner strength and solidity to women.
Basking in her light, women claim their place, start to shine. They discover their true potential as divine creators and they find the inner strength and courage to pursue their dreams with the energy of the Magdalene to support them.
Mary Magdalene becomes a portal, awakening memories of generations of priestesses within you who lived and worked on this earth. She helps you embody the wisdom and essence of those who walked the path of the Magdalene before you.
Magdalene Medicine
The first level of the Magdalene initiation is intended to awaken the Magdalene within. You receive and activate the Magdalene mysteries, learn more about her story and get introduced to rose medicine. You start to connect the dots of your own story and allow the healed feminine to take root within.
In the second level initiation you learn more about the healing practices of the Magdalene priestess, allowing you to practice and integrate the Magdalene Medicine in your self-healing practice or offer this to others.
In the third level we build the bridge with the masculine and deepen the connexion to allow the Magdalene seed to flourish in every aspect of your life. If you wish you will be able to hold Magdalene circles after this initiation.

ANAÏS AND THE PATH OF THE MAGDALENE
Today Mary Magdalene is the sword that always shows me the way, but this wasn't always the case. Years ago, when she first introduced herself to me in my meditations and channelings, I didn't know her. Slowly she helped me understand that not only did I not know her, but I didn't know what the feminine was or who I was... mais ça n’a pas toujours été le cas. She helped me to know myself, and showed me the many ways in which I was limiting myself and opened the path towards more softness and peace. Without this encounter I could never have written "Laying Down the Arms". She gave me the faith and the perseverance to pursue my purpose without compromise. She allowed me to embody my spirituality and today this path is part of my blood, my body, my soul.
She was of such a crucial and beneficial influence in my life that I feel like sharing the balm that is her presence. I want to rectify her image, rehabilitate her voice by allowing women to find their way to her once again and feeling emboldened enough to rewrite her story as well as their own. She has the strength and the tools to transform disappointment, sadness and anger into a fire that nourishes rebirth. In a nutshell, this is what I wish to facilitate through sharing this path, I want women to be a driving force for the rebirth of this earth.
THE PATH OF THE MAGDALENE IN GLASTONBURY
The mythology of the land of Avalon (the mystical name of Glastonbury) is saturated with stories of the Essene community that came here to meet the druids and exchange their mutual wisdom. After the crucifixion Joseph of Arimathea is said to have brought Mary Magdalene and other members of the holy family to Avalon where they spent some years teaching their mystery traditions.
If we believe in this or not, her presence can clearly be felt very strongly on the land of Avalon and the essence of her spiritual philosophy is reflected in the dynamic of unity within duality in the land.
