Why Mary Magdalene anointed Jesus’s feet?

I told you I would write about Mary Magdalene’s celibate life. Well, we have to consider that Mary Magdalene’s and Jesus’s (such as Mary’s and Joseph’s) relationship is a ‘royal’ dynastic one. Jesus came from the line of King David, and Mary Magdalene’s father was the Jairus-Priest Syrus. The married couple were subject to strict dynastic rules which drastically differed from the usual Jewish marriage-laws. The requirements for a dynastic marriage were clearly defined. They demanded a celibate life style, strictly regulating the periods where the conception of a child was allowed.

Engagement – First Marriage – Second Marriage

It started with a sort of engagement which was actually a contractual marriage. Three months after the ‘engagement’ there was a formal ‘First Wedding’ with an anointment ceremony (let’s remember the scene where Mary Magdalene anoints Jesus with nard!). In the following September marriage began. Afterwards a physical relationship was allowed, but only in the first part of December. If this did not result in pregnancy, they had to lead a celibate life again until the following December.

Did the woman get pregnant, though, there was a ‘Second Wedding’, and the marriage was legal. The legal status of marriage was not acknowledged before pregnancy. This gave the husband the chance for a legal divorce in case the wife was infertile. Therefore, the ‘Second Wedding’ never took place before the third month of pregnancy (in fear of a miscarriage).

Why the Virgin Mary could conceive a child

These marriage laws explain why Mary, to whom these laws also appealed, could conceive a child as a virgin. Women only became wives after the ‘Second Wedding’. Before that, they were ‘virgins’, young women, if we translate the word almah correctly.

What was Mary Magdalene and the seven demons all about

The Gospel of Luke mentions that there were also a few women following Jesus who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out… (Luke 8,2) This is, at least, the official version of the institutional church. Throughout the centuries, up to now, it has been considered to be the ‘truth’.

One should know that the group of the Essenes, who Jesus was a member of, used certain words as encryptions so that the Romans could not understand their messages and gospels.

The word ‘demon’ must not be understood literally

For example, the term ‘the blind’ was used for people who did not follow ‘the path’. The word ‘lepers’ meant all the people that were not born into, or were excluded from higher society. ‘The poor’ applied to all members of society who were not underprivileged, but held higher ranks, but had to give up all their earthly possessions.

Therefore, the term ‘demons’ is not to be understood literally. At the heyday of Qumran the name Mary (Miriam) was not just a name, but a high title.

Women with this name were in ecclesiastical offices within spiritual societies. They were, for instance, educated in the art of healing, or leading liturgical ceremonies for women.

Judas Iscariot, the seventh demon priest

All Marys were bound to celibacy and were subordinate to the authority of the Supreme Scribe. At the time of Mary Magdalene this was Judas Iscariot who was called the seventh demon priest. Before Mary Magdalene married, she was released from celibacy by the demon priest, which led to the saying that seven demons came out of her. Afterwards she was allowed to have physical contact with her husband, but only according to strict rules. However, this is going to be the topic for another time.

MARY MAGDALENE, Dan Brown and Kathleen McGowan

On one of my first journeys through the south of France, many years ago, I remembered the novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’ by Dan Brown. The movie was playing in the area. It was the first book which aroused my interest in Mary Magdalene, a long time before I came across Kathleen McGowan’s ‘The Expected One’. Both books have become world bestsellers, opening new perspectives on Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and their relationship, to millions of readers.

These two authors also opened my inner door to Mary Magdalene. Until then I was not aware that Mary Magdalene was assigned with a totally false role in the Bible. And, to be honest, I was not really interested in this historical figure.

But these two books triggered an inner wake-up call. All those of you who know me, and my work, are aware that I am closely connected with Mary Magdalene in a psychic way, and that I receive messages and spiritual tools, from her.

The Bible should be rewritten

But let’s go back to Dan Brown and Kathleen McGowan. Their tales about Mary Magdalene, wrapped into a thrilling story, allowed many people for the first time, to think that Mary Magdalene and Jesus could have been in a relationship. Their books are based on years of research, and knowledge gained from experts on Mary Magdalene. Specialists, such as Margaret Starbird and Laurence Gardner.

The story of Mary Magdalene can be reconstructed in different ways, historically, religiously and on a psychic level. However, the recognition that she was the wife of Jesus, totally questions old clerical theories and beliefs.

It is obvious that the church is not happy with these findings. Accepting them would affect the veracity of their doctrines, not only the way they present Mary Magdalene and Jesus. We know what this means. And we also know what shouldn’t be, cannot be.

Life is safer as fantasist and dreamer

Dan Brown and Kathleen McGowan were smart enough to wrap their revelations into a novel and not a work of non-fiction. Otherwise their discoveries could have been seen as claiming to be the truth and used against them. Therefore, they probably live an easier, and most of all safer life, as fantasists and dreamers rather than having the reputation of being historical researchers into Mary Magdalene.

If it was their purpose in life to present Mary Magdalene as the woman by Jesus’ side, to a wider audience, then they have more than fulfilled it. I am sure they have become immune to all the attacks and defamations they have endured through the years.

THE GOSPEL OF MARY MAGDALENE – A sensational find and cold feet 

When Karen L. King presented the small fragment of a nearly 2000 year old text on a yellowed papyrus to the public in Rome in 2012, it caused an outcry all over the world. It was part of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene which she had already published in 2003. This special piece of papyrus contained a text passage in which Mary Magdalene is called ‘the wife of Jesus’. Quickly, critical voices called this discovery a forgery.

In her book ‘The Gospel of Mary of Magdala’ the theologist had summed up all her years of research and translation of a Coptic writing which was developed in early Christian times. The texts point out that Mary Magdalene was active as a female apostle at Jesus’ side. She might have even been his favourite disciple. (I will publish extracts in this blog series).

Coming back to the papyrus discovery which should allegedly prove that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a close relationship, or might even have been husband and wife. As one might expect, the authenticity of the finding was severely questioned by the church.

Karen L. King was able to contradict the supporters of the forgery theory with good arguments, as radio carbon tests proved that the papyrus was really a historical document. But the scientist probably could not withstand the pressure of powerful religious leaders. In 2016 she gave in, and, all of a sudden did not want to confirm the authenticity of the fragments any longer.

This begs the question, what did she know, and what should have been left unsaid for the sake of her safety. For the truth of new knowledge is not always pleasant for the discoverer, especially if this involves questioning 2000 year old theses and religious doctrines.

How Virgin Mary could give birth to a child

Christian theologians call the conception of Jesus through the Holy Spirit and the birth through the Virgin Mary ‘Virgin birth’. Some verses in the New Testament declare this fact as one of God’s great miracles. Well, I do believe many things, but not everything.

In this connection one ought to know that the gospels of the New Testament were written to deliver an evangelic (Greek: eu-angelos = ‘delivering good messages’) message, not a historic one. Religious researchers even say that in those days the gospels served ‘enthusiastic propaganda purposes’. Considering this aspect, it seems plausible that the gospels were not written to record historic events for posterity. In addition, some parts of the Bible have often been misinterpreted or (out of unawareness) incorrectly translated.

In ancient texts Mother Mary is referred to as almah. The Semitic word almah, which was translated as ‘virgin’, only means ‘young woman’. Its meaning is completely unlinked with the physical virginity. Therefore, for Mother Mary, it well may be the case she is an alma and Joseph’s wife, at the same time.

As the wife of a ‘dynastic husband’ (Joseph was no carpenter; his job title is also based on an incorrect translation) Mary was subject to certain rules. She had to undergo some sort of trial period as a wife, which I would like to expand on in a later blog. However, the rules were strict, and only allowed the conception of children at certain fixed dates.

The Catholic view is based on the fact that Mary was a virgin throughout her life, as she is venerated as ‘Virgin Mary’. But the gospels1 do not make a secret of the fact that Jesus was not the only son, which makes Mary’s physical virginity even more incredible. Even if she conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit, and not through a sexual act, one wonders how she gave birth to other children. It is hard to believe that Mary conceived all her children through the Holy Spirit. It makes one think that the church has a problem with sexual morals in general, and women in particular.

How NICODEMUS can heal your 5th female chakra

It is sometimes claimed (usually by men!) that we women have a more pronounced need to talk than men do. However, I know men who talk at least as much as we women do, if not more;-)! But it is not necessarily the length of a conversation, but the content that counts. Even if we women like to chat about handbags, TV, or mascara, we also have just as many conversations about personal feelings, and experiences.

However, there are still many women amongst us who have never learnt to talk about their feelings, or needs. Since their childhood, they have carried on their family’s way of thinking without questioning it. These beliefs might be based on the following dogmas:

_ Women should not protest!

_ Women should swallow unpleasant things!

_ Women should not talk about themselves!

According to statistics it is easier for women to talk about feelings than for men. And what is important to them is more often discussed with a friend, than a partner. Many women also find it easier to stand up for others than for themselves. As girls they used to hear that their opinion is not worth listening to.

AS A WOMAN YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OR READ SENTENCES LIKE THIS…

  • “Hold your tongue!”
  • “Don’t be so cheeky!”
  • “Only speak when spoken to!”
  • “Nobody is interested in your opinion.”
  • “Don’t be so curious!”
  • “This is none of your business.”
  • “Do not bombard me with questions!”
  • “Women’s talk! It’s only idle chatter!”
  • “Life is not a request programme.”

WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH THE 5th CHAKRA?

The fifth chakra is located in the area of the larynx, or the thyroid gland, which causes problems for a lot of women. Symbolically, and energetically, this chakra stands for the natural need to express oneself, and to say what is important.

Women, suffering from an overactive thyroid gland, often have problems standing up for themselves. They often talk quietly, and can hardly make themselves heard.

The throat chakra also stands for the inner life plan which we have brought into this life. If we deviate too much from it, by not expressing and living our true feelings, talents, wishes or desires, we can feel the effects in our fifth chakra. Therefore, excessive will, stubbornness, or fixations, can cause thyroid problems.

As long as we fight against our life, against a higher will or power, it can have negative effects on other areas of our body in the long term. A typical message would be: “I do what I want, no matter what my body says!”

TYPICAL TOPICS CONCERNING THE FIFTH FEMALE CHAKRA:

  • Not being able/allowed to express oneself
  • Swallowing problems
  • Keeping quiet
  • Being scared of conflict
  • Biting one’s tongue
  • Not having/wanting to express an opinion
  • Not living one’s talents
  • Straying from one’s inner life plan

The following table (according to C.N. Shealy and C.M. Myss, The Creation of Health, 1983) shows what disorders can be related to a weak fifth female chakra:

organs mental and psychological areas possible physical disorders
fifth chakra thyroid gland

esophagus

neck vertebrae

neck

mouth

teeth and palate

 self expression

realizing dreams

creative work in the world by using personal strength

 (chronic) sore throat

oral cancer

problems with the palate

disease of the jawbone joint

scoliosis

laryngitis

swollen glands

problems with the thyroid

 

HOW CAN WE REBALANCE THE FIFTH FEMALE CHAKRA?

As with all the other chakras there are different ways to strengthen and balance the fifth chakra, such as:

  • on the energetic level through physical exercises or yoga
  • with the help of body-energy-work
  • with the help of meditation
  • on the emotional level through talking therapy, family settings, kinesiology, astrological sessions, etc,
  • on the mental level through positive thinking, mental training, etc.
  • on the spiritual level through transformation of karmic blockages, or oaths with the help of spiritual tools

2,000 years ago NICODEMUS was a follower and friend of Jesus and of MARY MAGDALENE. In our times he supports you as an ASCENDED MASTER if you have problems communication and expressing your thoughts and needs. His high vibrating energies can support you with courage, to talk about unpleasant situations and/or feelings.

To heal your 5th female chakra, you can integrate my energized Master Symbol of NICODEMUS , or my energized Master Aura Essence NICODEMUS  in your daily life, or your therapy session.

 Both the symbol and the Aura Essence, energized by Ascended Master NICODEMUS, work on the quantum level in your subtle-spiritual body, your chakras, your morphogenetic field, and your multidimensional DNA layers. They dissolve your energy blockages from the present, the past, and past lives.

The Gospel of MARY MAGDALENE

We are living in a time where darkness is once again rearing up vehemently against the increasing power of light. Long-fostered secrets come to light, assaults on women, which have been kept secret, are denounced in the media. And it is becoming harder to hide knowledge that was not meant for the public.

I am particularly thinking of those traditions which have been portrayed as the only truth by religious organisations for a long time. Their unchallenged claim is starting to crumble.

However, as soon as something unexpected is revealed to the public – such as the GOSPEL OF MARY MAGDALENE – it is immediately placed into the realm of blasphemy, fantasy and esoteric nonsense. What has not officially existed over such a long period of time, is simply impossible. It might even have influenced religious historiography as far as questioning the truthfulness of the Bible.

When the American theologist Karen L. King went public with her sensational discovery of the old papyrus scrolls in 2012, I was sure that the ‘Gospel of Mary Magdalene’ would not be recognized and accepted. (I will say more about it in my next blog in this series).

However, more and more information on Mary Magdalene is emerging, mostly in the psychic way. Whereas it has been possible for the powerful to let important information and truth disappear from the dark times of the past up to our times, now, in the time of the great transformation, these pieces of information cannot be manipulated any more. At the most, the Mary Magdalene opponents call them pure fantasy. But whoever sincerely seeks the truth, will find it in the heart.

Communicate through your Heart – Message from Mary Magdalene

“Communication is a major issue of your time. In the whole history of mankind it has never been so easy to communicate with so many people (at the same time) over long distances. The focus is mainly on the exchange of knowledge and experiences. And this is good because education and knowledge can change the world in a positive way.

However, I would like to remind you to include your heart in communication. Words and messages carry vibrations and energies. Before expressing the same sentence, you can create it in your mind, or you can include your heart. What a difference! Communication with your heart requires mutual respect and esteem. Therefore, I want to remind you to step out of your judgements.

Whoever calls themselves spiritual should stop commenting on other people’s thoughts and deeds, and should dispense with gossip. I particularly want to point this out to therapists and other professional tutors. Because HOW – I wonder – would you like to support people to enter their process of self-healing, if you accompany them without love from the heart? You will find the answer yourself…”

Mary or Mary Magdalene?

Soon I am going to be off to Southern France; today I have rummaged in my extensive archive and found a few thoughts regarding Mary Magdalene, which I have written down for you:

 In past incarnations I must have been at home in Southern France plenty of times – and above all – must have been very happy. Because every time when I get to Provence or Languedoc, I have the overwhelming feeling of eventually coming home after a long time.

People who are concerned with Mary Magdalene’s history – not with the church traditions but with the spiritual knowledge about her person – know that she not only lived in Southern France but was also worshipped as the disciple and woman by Jesus’ side there for many centuries.

Why is there such a remarkable number of churches that are dedicated to “Our Lady” or Mary, since not Mary but Mary Magdalene lived and worked in this country?

_ Could it be that those places of worship are actually dedicated to Mary Magdalene instead of Mary?

_ Or to her daughter Sarah Tamar?

_ Could it be that the numerous depictions of Mary with child do not show Mary and the baby Jesus but Mary Magdalene and her daughter Sarah Tamar? Or Mary Magdalene with one of her other children?

Could it be that the knowledge about Mary Magdalene’s teachings and her cult were intentionally blotted out during the Middle Ages, because the institutional Church took radical steps against them and also did not shy away from mass murders, as demonstrated by the example of the Cathars?

Feel into yourself! I am convinced that you are going to find an answer inside your heart!

Mary Magdalene: “The world is going to be female”

“Greetings! I am Mary Magdalene! Many of you know me as Jesus’ wife. Yet others dismiss this fact. But this is not the point as I would like to talk about you and the energies of the present and the future.

My time has come because you people live in a time of great upheaval and change, in all areas of life. Nothing is spared! It is now time to free you from old structures, values and ideologies. And it is my task to accompany and support you in this.

The lessons of the Old Age, which you have lived and suffered during the last two thousand years, will gradually get less important. You have had the chance to make lots of experiences which made you develop personally and spiritually. Therefore your journey through duality has been essential.

Our example shows, how a partnership can be lived. With respect and mutual esteem. In our times this was quite unusual, as women did not have the same social status as men. They had to serve and were not allowed to express their opinions. Only girls from well-established families were educated and could learn to read and write, speak Greek, and were instructed in art and healing.

Jesus and I lived an equal relationship, because he highly respected women. And it was he who appointed me as his official successor. But history changed its course, as you all know. The powerful of those times did not want and could not accept me as successor, as I was a woman.

Back then as well as today most women do not play important, but rather serving roles in society. They bow to the inevitable to make room for men. So many women do not live the potential they have brought into this life. They find themselves incapable, stupid or unimportant. They often have a false understanding of sexuality because they think they have to play a role to satisfy men, or try to assert themselves in the men’s world.

The transition into the New Age is accompanied by a much softer and female energy. This can be best expressed by the sentence ‘The world is going to be female’. But do not forget that it is not about returning from patriarchy into matriarchy. There is a tendency that more and more women take on masculine attributes, thinking this makes them equal to men. Femininity is a strong power which can be described as ‘divine essence’. Only a balance between masculine and feminine will bring back the harmony and equality you are longing for.

I am very present in these times, looking forward to accompanying and supporting you as sister, friend or consultant. I am by your side!

I am Mary Magdalene!”
