Mary Magdalene in Florence (Italy)

Florence is a paradise for art enthusiasts! At every turn, they come across unspeakable treasures and rarities from earlier centuries, the density of which seems to be an Italian idiosyncrasy. Many of the churches are decorated with the works of old masters, which usually are only to be found in museums.

During my preparations for our ‘Spiritual Journey through Tuscany’ next autumn, I also visited the church Santa Maria Novella, which is noted in many guidebooks. The atmosphere of the church, however, is rather suggestive of an art gallery and I was unable to sense any special energies. Nevertheless, there was one piece that impressed me considerably, namely the scene of the entombment, which can be found in an inconspicuous alcove inside the church. Immediately, the following question forced itself upon me: which one of the women is MARY MAGDALENE?

The Magdalene is usually represented in the colours red and green and another remarkable feature is her long, red, flowing hair. The person at the far right in the mural painting doubtlessly represents Jesus’ ‘favourite disciple’, whose clothes are red and green as well. Could this be an allusion to Mary Magdalene, who actually is Jesus’ ‘first disciple’ and follower?

The woman to the left of Mother Mary wears the colours red and green too. Could this be Mary Magdalene or Mary Jacobe or Mary Salome? If so, who is the lady in red with the headgear? Doesn’t she look like a queen? Martha, Mary Magdalene’s sister, is frequently represented in red, but still I do not believe that Martha is portrayed here.

Mary Magdalene, who is considered to be Jesus’ wife in old writings and whose rank thus is tantamount to a queen’s, would soonest live up to this role. …

The truth – once again – is in the eye of the beholder.

Maria Magdalena in Los Angeles

“Los Angeles” means “The Angels” in English… and you not necessarily expect to come across them in the Californian metropolitan city. Nevertheless, also in this city one can find spiritual places, at least if you look for them specifically or if you let yourself be guided by your intuition.

In the “Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels” I not only discovered beautiful angel figures (which I will show to you elsewhere), but also Mary Magdalene: Depicted very modernly and appealingly on a huge wall tapestry – and on glass windows and wall ceramics in the basement. If you are rambling about L.A. and can spare some time, you should absolutely go to see it!

The castle St. Hilarion in Northern Cyprus

In Cyprus we visited a beautiful spot in the Turkish northern part of the island: the magical castle ruins St. Hilarion. This saint, who is declared to be an Ascended Master nowadays, allegedly was buried there and a small Byzantine monastic church erected above his grave. In the 8th century a castle was built in this strategic place, which seems to merge with the rocks at first glance. Even nowadays this place is so romantic that it served Walt Disney as a model for his movie “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. After all, some people still claim that the castle once belonged to a sorceress who charmed her visitors to sleep in a secret garden and afterwards robbed them. We couldn’t feel that, but we were able to sense the energies of Hilarion in the region of the former church all the better.

Mary Magdalene in Paris

In Paris a whole quarter is named after Mary Magdalene, namely the district MADELEINE. The church which bears her name is based on a Greek temple hall and was built in the years 1764-1845.

At first glance the main altar depicts Mary’s ascension to heaven and her arrival in Heaven, respectively – but it could be Mary Magdalene as well. After all, “Mary” was not a name as such in her lifetime, but rather a title inside her religious community. And a statue which is called “The Wedding of the Virgin Mary” could, therefore, depict the marriage of Mary Magdalene and Jesus just as well.

Maybe another question poses itself to the visitor when admiring the huge dome above the altar: Is Mary Magdalene depicted next to Jesus even twice? She is clearly discernible on his right, since one of her symbols is the alabaster jar which she is holding in her hand. But who is the woman on his left? Green-red attire and long strawberry blonde hair at least are unmistakable hints at Mary Magdalene. After all, it was her, to whom he appeared first after his resurrection.

A wonderful week draws to a close

Day 6 of our spiritual holiday seminar week on Majorca: During the last two days the participants kept working hard on the healing of their inner child. By means of exercises, meditations and channelings and with the aid of the symbol cards and the Aura Essences profound transformation processes took place in a short space of time. During leisure time enjoyment, relaxation and a lot of fun were on the agenda.

Tonight we are going to deepen and cement the changes that have taken place in this week in the course of a final ritual. The bottom line of a participant is, “This few days have been more helpful than years of conversational therapy.” Tomorrow we are going to conclude our week with an excursion to the Majorcan capital Palma. I am already looking forward to the next holiday seminar, which probably will take place in Tuscany…

A walk along the beach

Our seminar week „Heal your Inner Child“ is very intense and many participants avail themselves of the opportunity to continue working on their issues with Lutz Mück in single sessions in the evenings. By this means many old blockages and emotional injuries from childhood can be healed in this week. Therefore, it is important to have a day of recreation in-between the seminar days. We used yesterday’s forenoon to go on a beach stroll, some of us even went swimming in the still quite cold water.

Family Constellations with Symbol Cards

Also yesterday the seminar participants started their day with an abundant breakfast on the hotel terrace directly above the beach. Then we went up to our seminar room – which has a beautiful view over the ocean – and intensively “worked” on the healing of our inner child with the help of the energized symbols and essences. Today family constellations took the center stage, which we performed with blocks of wood. A lot got to be realized, delivered and consigned to healing. The symbols not only revealed tender subjects, but they also operated energetically by means of the morphogenetic field and transformed old and sometimes unconscious blockages.

Since experience has shown that this kind of work is very profound, I always have very experienced therapists with me in my seminars. Lutz Mück is always there for the group, whenever too strong emotions should surface. If requested, he also continues to work with the participants individually in single sessions at the end of the seminar day, in case the issue that has come up in the seminar should need further attention.

At lunch time and at the evening we always relax, either by going on a beach stroll, by going to the restaurant, by going swimming (if the sea is not too cold) or by a cozy get-together with the group. Yesterday after the seminar we were visited by Beate Gliedt (spiritual education), Ines Hupfeld (spiritual nanny), Sandra Puhl (spiritual midwife) and Lilly Wong (spiritual healing of femininity), who exchanged views with some women of our group who work in similar fields. And today our excursion is on the agenda. The weather seems to be perfect – so let’s take pot luck and see what the day has ready for us!

The seminar week has begun

I have been looking forward to this and now the time has finally come. Today was the official beginning of our seminar week in the southeast of Majorca, in the small bay of Santanyí. Our mutual days are going to be spent under the guidance of the Ascended Master Sarah Tamar, the daughter of Mary Magdalene and Easa/Jesus. The main focus of this self-awareness seminar, in the course of which we are going to work with the energized symbols of Mary Magdalene and her companions, is going to be on the healing of the inner child, and all participants are aware of the fact that the following days are going to be very intense. In the inaugural meditation I got to transmit live channeled messages from Sarah Tamar, Mary, Mary Magdalene and Joseph to the group. I am already looking forward to tomorrow and I am anxious to know what the next few days will bring.

Viva Mallorca!

It has already got about that Majorca has been my second (?) home for some years now. However, it took me uncommonly long to set my foot on this island. But already during my first stay, I lost my heart to this exceptional beauty of the Mediterranean. The island offers sandy bays, rocky shores, placid lines of hills, rugged rock formations, olive groves, valleys of oranges and lemons, almond blossoms, turquoise water, art and culture… What more could a heart desire!?

Thus it did not take me long to conceive the desire to hold my holiday and self-awareness seminars on this very island. No sooner said than done! A beautiful place was found soon and thus it is that the seminar week already takes place for the sixth time in the southeast of the island. Saturday is the big day! I am going to tell of my experiences regularly!
