Mary Magdalene in Chianti / Tuscany

Most wine enthusiasts among yourselves associate the name Chianti with the world-famous region south of Florence where the grape variety of the same name is cultivated and the typical Tuscan wine is pressed. The lovely scenery is characterised by rolling hills, rows of cypresses and medieval wine-growing villages that attract many people from far and wide.

Our Spiritual Journey 2015 is going to take us to this region among others – and thus we have discovered a painting in a small church which hints at a close relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus. Whether or not the artist was aware of it when he created this portrait, we will probably never know. The painting bears the title “Noli me tangere – Do not touch me!” and shows the encounter of the two after his resurrection. I simply had to share this discovery with you by means of a photo – and we are going to show it to our fellow travellers on site in September.

Message from Mary

“Greetings! I am Mary. Some of you call me ‘Mother Mary‘. I regard myself as an ascended master who walked the Earth before you. I have come to talk to you about your parents. Because many of you still blame your parents for the course of your lives.

I would like to give you a different perspective: your parents came with their own life plan. They brought certain talents, patterns, likes, and a self-determined life-alignment from former incarnations, which had been strongly influenced by their parents and their environment in turn.

But eventually, as adults, they more or less came away from these patterns and stood up for their own philosophies and beliefs. Can you really judge whether this helped them in their lives or not? What you call development, can also happen in silence, with the help of situations or circumstances which you may call unspectacular. Do not judge them!

One day, both parents entered a partnership with you as a result.

This partnership is not just based on the physical level, but also on the higher-vibrating subtle level. Although both parents may represent different views of life and positions, they create a higher mutual energy field. You were born into this information and energy field because your soul has chosen so.

Now, as an adult, you decide whether you want to be charged by this energy field or a higher-vibrating one. Only as soon as you have recognized your own control dramas and the ones of your parents, are you in a position to consciously leave them. At the same time, you will be more and more capable of drawing your energy directly from the divine source. This is your very personal contribution to the spiritual evolution of the planet Earth.

What makes this time of the great transformation so special is that, for the first time, you are ready to accelerate this process consciously. No matter how many fears and doubts emerge thereby.

Once you have understood what it is all about, you cannot suppress or delete this spiritual knowledge. Whenever you try to leave or deny the path of spirituality, you will feel something essential missing.

Therefore, make peace with your parents because they are significantly involved in your spiritual development, even if you are probably not aware of it. Make peace with yourself – and be patient! Your time will come!

I am connected with you in love. I am Mary!”

Easter – A new beginning

“Be greeted, I am Mary Magdalene! The Easter days are just around the corner and every one of you will more or less – or even not at all ‒ deal with the death and resurrection of Jesus. I am not here to moralise and to wag my finger at you, after all it is up to yourself if and what kind of significance you attribute to Easter.

However, I would like to encourage you to think about awakening and starting afresh. Normally, you humans only deal with these energies at the beginning of a new calendar year, but look inside yourself: Has not again come a time for you to realign yourself anew and to rethink and possibly change your life and the role you have taken in it? Remain sensitive and open for the energies of the New Age, because they will demand a reorientation from you with increasing frequency.

Let go of the old and burdensome – like a butterfly pupa that casts off the case that has become too small for it – and be ready to be ‘reborn’ again and again: in your thoughts, in your feelings and in your humanity. I accompany you through the Easter days with my energy and my love, and – how could it be otherwise – Isa or Jesus, as you call him, is by my side. We are with you and support you if you want and ask us to. Be greeted!”

Message from KWAN YIN

“Greetings! I am Kwan Yin. I am also called the ‘Asian Goddess of compassion’. I speak to you today because it is about your human control dramas. What sounds so horrible, is one of your most important behaviour patterns. It has accompanied you since childhood and influenced you greatly. From the cradle you unconsciously take on the characteristics of your parents or the people who bring you up. You sometimes even get caught in the crossfire of your parents’ different views or philosophies.

Do you feel like poor victims now, who have been so strongly influenced as small children by their parents, that they have to suffer from ‘control-dramas’ as adults? By the way, what is your relationship with your parents like? Do you feel like a victim who was in childhood absolutely dependent on their parents? Isn’t it too easy to blame your education for your own blocking behaviour patterns?

Who are you? Do you prefer being stuck in your role as a victim because it is easier and more comfortable than standing up and rising above these patterns? Who decided to incarnate in this very family? You knew very well before your conception why you had chosen these exact parents! They are your ideal teachers – not in the sense of learning, but personal experience and self-discovery.

Your parents’ imprints have made you become the person you are today. Once you recognize this and understand the higher meaning behind your choice of parents, a new door will open for you, and you will come closer to your actual life path again. But if you get stuck in your ‘control-dramas’ you will incarnate again and again, until this door is revealed to you. It is up to you. But as you have come so far on your spiritual path of development, I would like to encourage you to make the next important step. We Masters and Archangels are at your side!”

Follow your heart!

“Be greeted, I am Mary Magdalene! In this period of time, I have not returned to you humans in a physical body but on the spiritual level in order to accompany you through the transformation process. Many things in your life are subject to change, not only your interpersonal relationships but especially yourself. Often, you do not know if you are on the right track or not, because your soul gives you new, strong impulses – but at the same time your environment is trying to pull you back into the accustomed tracks. How should you decide?

First of all, I would like to tell you: Take your time! Feel inside yourself and take one step after another on the “way of your heart”. Thus, also the people by your side will get the chance and time to witness and comprehend your re-orientation. In many cases, they will take the same path as yourself. And if not … remain true to yourself nonetheless, stay in the love and be sympathetic about the fact that some ways will part. A friendship between yourself and the others can nevertheless endure if you deal gently with each other. I am by your side in order to support you in doing so. Be greeted!”

Message from Archangel OMNIEL

“Greetings, I am Archangel Omniel. Only a few people know me since I am not mentioned in the Bible, but only in some spiritual books. However, I am one of the great and powerful beings, accompanying you through this important time.

You people originally come as ‘sparks of awareness’ from the divine source. There is only unity, no separation. It is like the oceans: there are innumerable drops of water, creating the sea. It was the same with you. I say WAS, because one day you decided to leave the ‘sea’, to make individual experiences as ‘drops of water’. But this is a well-known comparison anyway.

You have gone through numerous incarnations, slipping into different identities. You have learnt (almost) everything you can possibly experience on this training planet Earth. And gradually it is time to think of your final return to the womb of the divine source, the huge ‘sea basin’.

In the last centuries you have been busy discovering and exploring human existence in its full depth. Think of the numerous incarnations and experiences as travellers, pioneers, explorers, scientists, musicians, builders, workmen, farmers, or people working in social areas. Everybody was on their own to fulfill their own life plan, and to follow the great higher plan to promote the development of mankind.

Now is the time when all these learning processes may eventually come to an end. You are encouraged to rise from a purely human awareness into a collective awareness. The future is more and more about remembering the spiritual energies which have been forming your entire YOU since the beginning of your existence. Focus on a new feeling of togetherness, since you have experienced separation well enough.

Open up for a higher awareness, open up for the energies of the divine source which is your home. Get ready for your return to the big sea basin which you have come from. Now you are single drops of water, but soon you will be united in the divine source. Time can come, we are ready! Get ready, too!”

St. James – we are coming!

Drove 3.500 km by car along three important Ways of St. James and walked individual stretches of way … checked the quality of about 30 hotels and 10 restaurants … visited 5 cathedrals, numberless churches and chapels … discovered a number of wonderful power places … these catchwords describe the result of twice 10 days of preparation and planning for our spiritual journey 2016.

Many roads lead to Rome but probably even more to Santiago de Compostela! There is, for instance, the French-Spanish Way of St. James from the east, the British Way from the north, the Portuguese Way from the south, and the North Way from the northeast. We spent most of our time on the French-Spanish route, because it contains the most beautiful cultural sights.

It was not always easy to find the routes; especially the British Way of St. James, of which we were unable to get a description on site, was extremely difficult to find. Like detectives we looked for the sparse hints at the wayside, asked locals, all of whom spoke English, for the way with our scant knowledge of Spanish. Many of them did not even know that there is a British Way of St. James that actually only runs a few kilometres away from their front door.

But it was worth the effort! We were able to arrange a beautiful and very varied travel route that combines culture with spirituality and does not lack good food and comfortable hotels. Every day we are going to walk short, but sublime parts of the Way of St. James, most of the time on the French-Spanish Way and on the last day on the British Way, so that we get to the seashore. The culmination is going to be the visit we are going to pay to the cathedral in Santiago, the much longed-for destination of all the pilgrims on the Way of St. James.

Mary Magdalene in A Coruña (Spain)

What did the artists of previous centuries know about Mary Magdalene? Was she depicted as the woman at Jesus’ side more often than we suspect – and symbolically coded very deliberately? These and similar questions I ask myself time and again when I enter a church where I see a Mary represented with long red hair and in red-green garments. All are hints at the fact that this is not intended to be Mother Mary but Mary Magdalene, just like in the small church Santa Barbara in A Coruña, ca. 80 km north of Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain.

In this specific case she is shown sitting next to Jesus on a cloud, which is indicative of his mother at a first glance. Maybe the commissioner only wanted the glass window to show Mary’s admission into heaven and did not know that the artist painted Mary Magdalene instead of Mary? Or maybe he instructed the artist to depict “Mother Mary” with long red hair in green-red garments, knowing well that he made Mary Magdalene sit next to Jesus by doing so? This always comes to my mind when I see depictions of this kinds in churches.

A “couch potato” on the Way of St. James

Only when I was I child I enjoyed exercise! Ever since I am grown up I like to spend most of my time with writing or thinking (besides my spiritual work, of course). The only exercise that I really enjoy is dancing. Once a very professional astrologer discerned that exercise is not really my thing in my horoscope …

And now I am travelling on the Way of St. James VOLUNTARILY, in order to plan a spiritual journey for 2016 together with Gerd. Of course, we chose sections that are scenic and pleasant to walk, probably that is the reason why hiking gave me pleasure today. My head, which is always filled with – what feels like – a thousand thoughts, ideas and visions, became freer and lighter with every step; I actually succeeded not to think about anything at times. This is a very special kind of meditation I would like to keep up in the future as well. At least occasionally 😉

Plan A and Plan B

Since today Gerd and I are travelling on the Way of St. James for the second time within three weeks. This time is about giving the “final touch” to our SPIRITUAL JOURNEY 2016, which we plan for our fellow travellers all by ourselves. And for such a journey there always need to be a plan A and a plan B, especially when it comes to the hotels we have tested and chosen. Because what can you do if the desired hotels are closed in September 2016, if they are being renovated or maybe even do not accommodate tour parties? So that this does not happen, we always have alternative hotels and alternative routes in petto. You never know … 😉
