Here for first time in print, is a Wisdom Treasuy of sacred teachings and oral tradition of St. Mary Magdalene. This wonderful text offers the reader a vehicle for a creative journey into the Gnostic experience of the Holy Bride, very similiar to guided meditations. As a reader you are invited into the life story/cycle of the Holy Bride and into Her journey and sacred quest, which ultimately is one's own. The value it speaks to the coequality of women and the need for the Divine Feminine is unequivocal in our present times. I highly recommend this book.
Gnostic tradition has acquired a whole devotional dimension thanks to Tau Malachi's groundbreaking English (and forthcoming Spanish!) works. "St. Mary Magdalene: Gnostic Tradition of the Holy Bride" will likely be his most provocative work yet. Cheers for daring to publish these radical legends! Drawing from the wealth of his Sophian Gnostic spiritual upbringing from boyhood, the oral legends recorded here for the first time ever will draw out passionate discussion; orthodox Christians who find the "Da Vinci Code" novel (and film) mania frustrating will be pushed over the edge by these detailed legends of her Christhood while the more progressive--especially women---will find here a wisdom treasury of lore somehow familiar and long-intuited. However controversial this little book will get, I'm completely thrilled by any discussion of St. Mary Magdalene. Reading these legends, I cannot help but be reminded of her enlightened "colleague" of Tibet--Lady Yeshe Tsogyal! His voice of the Sophian Tradition I deeply appreciate: with each work, it gets that much more rich, complex and above all healing for Western people. Those open to a mature Christianity of God the Son and God the Daughter will find here jewels beyond pricing.
