St. Mary Magdalene: The Gnostic Tradition of the Holy Bride (Gnostic Gospel Series, 4)

I am loving this book. The Catholic Church left out a big huge part of our faith story, the whole Divine Feminine part. I have been searching for the truth for many years. I started studying with a Sophian Gnostic group about a year and a half ago. Very enlightening and very freeing. I heard Tau Malachi talk about this book and I had to purchase it. I am open to the lessons of the Divine Mother. Come with an open mind and open heart. It will be filled. There is so much hope for the path. You are worth it to know and live the truth. :)

I could really relate to Tau Malachi's experience, having seen the Lady in Red as a teenager and I am now 64..Tau writes an experience about her as having been raped, kidnapped and forced into prostitution in Babylon, which happens to millions of women and children, she used her experiences and position to obtain wealth(she dressed, wore jewelry, wore perfumes and oils, she became the favorite of the Elite) went back to her home and met Jesus on the way and he worked with her to return her soul to the way she was before her terrible experience, I wondered why she was 27 when they married but, this explains it..I have also read other written material that brought out her sordid experiences but, she used them to walk beside Jesus with more knowledge of the world then any other descipleAlso this explains why she had so much Power over women because she could teach them to expand themselves to being able to walk above their lowered positions, can you imagine what she learned as a prostitue to teach other women.And yes, the other Apostles did not accept her except, Thomas, Bartholomew, and PhillipAll reference to her and writings by these Apostles were omitted from the bibleI feel she earned her right to walk above the others at the side of Jesus , and possibly taught Jesus a few things

The book is a fairly decent compilation of Gnostic themed stories and legends about Mary Magdalene, as well as some meditation exercises. The stories themselves range from early legend to near modern times. Tau Malachi emphasizes, if you make it through to the conclusion - or understand Gnostic themes - that the purpose isn't to convey fact through the stories, but to provide lessons through stories and legends to be meditated on and contemplated.If your interest ranges toward Gnostic spirituality, the book is an interesting collection of legends, stories and meditations. The influence of the sacred feminine on individual and collective spirituality is central to the book, and somewhat effectively conveyed. If you are looking for researched, scholarly or orthodox examination of the Mary Magdalene tradition, this is only tangentially useful for exposure to the legends (though they are not cited by source in the book) and little else.

Interesting reading for Mary Magdalene fans. The verses in the back of the book serve as daily reads.

A perfect reading for supplemental study about Mary Magdalene.

Anything I read about St. Mary Magdalene that gives powerful heartfelt experiences of her life is a good book.

Tau Malachi brings St. Mary Magdalene to vivid life in this book, which contains teachings of his Sophian Gnostic lineage that have previously only been transmitted orally. Although I've read quite a bit on the Magdalene, this book makes me feel as though I've been brought into her presence in a way few others have. Highly recommended.

Very informative, adds history filling information to that already known. Highly recommended.

Thank you for this wonderful book about Saint Mary Magdalene. :) It was truly informative and raised my spirit. For a few days I was kind of sad because of the whole covid situation and the world events which make it evident that the time is at hand. My nickname a long time ago used to be Dalale. Always felt a connection with Saint Mary Magdalene and Mother Goddess. I hope this woman which you said is among us will be recognized and people start realizing the importance of the Divine Feminine which is just as important as the Sacred Masculine. God bless you and may the light of God always reside in your blessed soul.

An extremely beautiful and enlightening book on Mary Magdalene. Astonishingly revealing and mystical. A must read for all those who are interested in knowing the Holy Bride, receiving her supernal Wisdom and Love.

Found the style of writing difficult, so lost interest quickly. It also differed in content quite considerably from other books on the subject.
