Mary Magdelene 8"

Mary Magdelene 8"

 Mary Magdalene's tears are the source of the Deepest Love. Gnostic tradition holds her as the "Woman of Sorrows" who bathed Christ's feet with tears, dried them with her long flowing hair, and anointed his head with precious unguent from her alabaster jar, who companioned him at the foot of the Cross and at his tomb, who was foremost of his female disciples, and may well have also been his beloved spouse. Very ancient legend attests to her fleeing with Joseph of Arimathea via Alexandria to southern France, where she gave birth to a daughter, Saint Sarah. For 2000 years, Magdalene has grieved the death of the gentle, nurturant sacred masculine, as embodied in Christ. Others hold her as a Priestess of Isis with Christ her dying and resurrected consort.

Mary Magdalen Lombard 8"

Mary Magdalen Lombard 8"

 Mary Magdalene di Lombard: Reclaim The Magdalene.

The Bible says Jesus loved Mary Magdalene more than all other apostles, called her the Woman Who Knew the All, and often kissed her on the mouth. The Gnostic Gospel, Pistis Sophia teaches the wisdom of Jesus through a Tantric dialogue with her. Magdalene means she of the temple-tower - a watchtower among her flock. Her symbol in art is often the alabaster jar of precious ointment with which she Christened Jesus and went to his tomb to anoint him. Since the Inquisition, the Church has dictated that she be portrayed cloaked in scarlet to indicate scorn for her alleged wantonness. Here, in a break with tradition, she is in blue to represent peace and holiness. This image is taken from an altar piece from the Lombard region of northern Italy - near to Da Vinci's Last Supper painting and the coronation site of both Napoleon and Charlemagne.
