Discover the Womb Rites and initiatory magic of Mary Magdalene, who was revered as a Priestess and human embodiment of the Goddess • 2020 Nautilus Gold Award • Reveals how Mary Magdalene was a sacred priestess of the ancient Womb Mysteries, connected to moon wisdom, sacred harlot archetypes, and goddesses in many traditions, including Sophia, Isis, Inanna, Asherah, Lilith, Jezebel, and Witches • Explains how the Magdalene Mysteries have been encoded in Gnostic texts, sacred art, and literature and unveils the secret Grail heresy of the Ghent Altarpiece • Offers rituals and practices to initiate you into the Womb magic of the ancient priestesses and access deeper dimensions of sexuality and feminine power A sacred priestess of the ancient Womb Rites, Mary Magdalene was at the center of a great and enduring Mystery tradition, one that touched on a stream of perennial spiritual wisdom as old as humanity. Worshipped as the human embodiment of the Goddess, the earthly Sophia, her womb was the spiritual luminatrix that anointed and empowered Jesus, transforming him into the Christ. As a priestess of the Goddess, Mary Magdalene knew how to embody the light and the dark, how to harness the magic potency of sacred sexual energy, and how to cleanse, awaken, and resurrect the soul. Yet, even though she sparked the creation of a worldwide religion, her story and teachings have been forgotten. Unveiling the lost left-hand path of the Magdalene, the Feminine Christ, authors Seren and Azra Bertrand explore how this underground stream of knowledge has been carried forward over the millennia through an unbroken lineage of Womb Shamans, Priestesses, Oracles, and Medicine Women. They explain how the Magdalene Mysteries, symbolized by the Rose, have been encoded in Gnostic codices and gospels and in the highest art, literature, and architecture of many ages, including most significantly the Ghent Altarpiece. They examine Mary Magdalene’s connection to moon wisdom, sacred harlot archetypes, and goddesses in many traditions, including Isis, Inanna, Asherah, Lilith, and Jezebel, and look at shamanic, tantric, and Cathar expressions of sacred feminine mysteries as well as the Witch and Templar roots of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. In this revelatory and magical text on the lost feminine mystery traditions of Mary Magdalene and the lineage of Sophia, the authors present encompassing theological, historical, mythological, and archetypal wisdom, with rituals and practices to initiate you into the Womb magic of the ancient priestesses and the path of the wild feminine.

This book is about communication between parents and kids during the divorce period. Irene, the protagonist of the story, offers insight that can help children and divorcing parents work together so the children can experience comfort and healing through this emotional time of their lives. The list of 11 things that Irene asks from mum and dad is the message that all parents should keep in their hearts as they proceed in their separation."Irene, we'd like to tell you something" Dad said and Irene hugged her Teddy Bear the tightest she could...., "Mum and I decided it would be best for all of us to stay apart for a while" he said and Irene bugged her little eyes. She was trying to figure out what that should mean to her. Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind at that very moment.... That moment she wanted so bad to scream. She couldn't say a word though.... As Irene was struggling to avoid her parents fights she wrote to her diary "Maybe I have to choose between them so as to put an end to the whole situation. I don't wanna do such thing though; I love them just the way they are." But one day she found a solution....and she also created a list to remind to her parents what is more important for her. The first thing in her list was ".... stop saying bad things to each other. Both of you are my parents; I love you both to the moon and back and both of you are hurting ME when saying all these bad things to each other."Below a review from Readers' FavoriteMum, Dad, Can You Hear Me? by Despina Mavridou calls to all warring parents to pay attention. This book is written like one for kids, but I strongly recommend it for adults who have or plan to have kids. It sheds a light on what children go through in many homes. When the home front is in disarray, the kids suffer the most. While we battle with each other as parents, we must remember our little jewels who didn't beg to be born. A chaotic home is damaging to them, causing a breed of broken adults in society. Despina conveys her message using eye-friendly and colorful illustrations. The plot was well structured, her writing style was playful, and her tone was relaxed. This story is short and powerful, hitting the target with its message. I loved it!
