Mary Magdalene - the Great Initiate

July 19-20, 2003

Villa Park, Illinois

 
Jesus loved Mary Magdalene more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her on her mouth often.  They said to him, "Why do you love her more than all of us?"  The savior answered, saying to them, "Why do I not love you like her?  If a blind person and one with sight are both in the darkness, they are not different from one another.  When the light comes, then the person with sight will see the light, and the blind person will remain in the darkness."

Gospel of Philip


 Who was this mystery woman of the gospels? Was she really a  demon-possessed prostitute? Or was she a high initiate, the consort of  Jesus? Was she the mother of the Merovingian line of kings? Join us July 19-20 as we explore and celebrate the mysteries and legends surrounding Mary Magdalene and her importance as initiator and guide. There will be  presentations and discussions. Religious services from the Gnostic  perspective will also be included. 

Sponsored by the Society for French Esoteric Revival.
