My first introduction to this group was the Magdalene Feast day back in July. It was wonderful to experience such reverence of the Magdalene the way I resonate with her. Being a channel myself and having my heart touched by the Magdalene, it was a feeling of remembrance that felt familiar to me. I started this journey through automatic writing, having no clue what I was doing, and Mariam happened to be waiting for me to open that door and addressed me as her son. I remember being taken aback and researching if she had any children, and I've gone through that whole rabbit hole. I've been walking this journey for a year now, and I've experienced a lot, both in delight and in letting go of the old self. Learning more about who I am and what I came here to do on Momma Gaia. It's a hard path, and I'm glad there are others walking a similar path. Thank you for creating this space.

Over the summer of 2024, I was studying IT at my local college and felt quietly lost. I didn’t have a clear sense of direction, only a growing feeling that something in my life needed attention. Around that time, I began experimenting with automatic writing. I approached it carefully and without expectations, unsure whether anything meaningful would come of it. I had no spiritual background, and much of what appeared at first felt unfamiliar, fragmented, and difficult to understand. What came through were small pieces of poetic language that I questioned, tested, and often doubted. As I continued the practice, a figure identified as Mary Magdalene introduced herself in the writing. I did not immediately accept this as truth. Instead, I treated it as something to be examined over time. I paid attention to patterns, tone, and consistency, while remaining uncertain about what I was encountering. Gradually, the material led me toward books and historical perspectives that described Mary Magdalene in ways very different from what was perceived through the church. Rather than offering answers, these discoveries deepened my questions. Studying Mary Magdalene’s life introduced me to teachings of the Gnostic Gospels and the sacred feminine, ideas challenged me both intellectually and emotionally. These teachings did not arrive as finished conclusions, but as questions that continue to open and evolve. What I am engaged in now is not a place of arrival or authority, but an ongoing responsibility to listen carefully and remain honest with the process. I cover most of my story in my book and website about how my introduction to the Magdalene changed my life.
