Historias de Sacredfeminine

Ilena Romanov is back in Russia as part of the Russian royal family and as a criminology professor at Saint Petersburg State University. One day she goes to Paris to lecture on the mind of a serial killer alongside her fellow professor, and boyfriend, Raymond Menshikov. They lecture then something strange happens. A manuscript of Ilena's research book on the minds of serial killers shows up in the arms of the body of a member of the Sovereign High Council of the Wolf who has been in a relationship with a member of the Congress of the Veiled Chalice which sees the mind as a sacred thing.

In the silence after the Resurrection, one woman carries the truth the world was not ready to hear. Mary of Magdala-healer, witness, and disciple-was not the sinner history made her out to be. She was the one who remained when all others fled. Now hunted by Roman authorities and mistrusted by the apostles, Mary flees Jerusalem with a forbidden scroll containing the secret teachings Jesus shared only with her. Across deserts and seas, she journeys toward sanctuary, pursued by those who would silence her voice and erase her truth. Centuries later, in the shadow of a ruined abbey in southern France, a young Cathar nun hides a mysterious relic as the Inquisition burns her world to ash. And in the present day, archaeologist Dr. Leyla Mair stumbles upon a cryptic gospel buried beneath a collapsed monastery-its words echoing across time in a woman's unmistakable voice. As Leyla deciphers the ancient text, she unravels not only the identity of the real Mary Magdalene, but the cost of speaking truth in a world ruled by fear. What begins as a historical discovery becomes a reckoning-with religion, memory, and the sacred power of the feminine. The Magdalene Veil is a sweeping, time-crossing novel of mysticism, betrayal, and the relentless survival of a voice buried for two thousand years. Inspired by scripture, suppressed gospels, and forgotten women, it is the story of what happens when a truth too sacred for empire refuses to die.

She was born a princess. Cursed by jealousy. Cast into the sea. But the waves did not drown her. They crowned her. Kadita, daughter of Pajajaran's king, was once the light of the kingdom. Until envy turned love into fear-and she was banished with a curse upon her skin. But deep in the Southern Sea, where spirits sleep and tides remember, her story did not end. It began. This is the legend of the Queen of the Southern Sea. Based on the myth of Nyai Roro Kidul.

Thirty Days with Mary is a month-long series of daily reflections originally published on the Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter pages for this website. Due to the positive social media response to the series, I have decided to include it here on the site for future access by all those seeking a greater communion with the spirit of Sophia in and through the Magdalene. Each reflection is intended to be a tool to help lead those who follow the series into a deeper understanding and experiential awareness of the Voice of the Magdalene. They are far from exhaustive, their themes doubtless touched upon and expounded by far greater thinkers and writers than I, but they are offered in a sincere spirit of generosity and humility, and in the hope that they will help bring clarity and peace during this current awakening to Magdalene's presence.
