Our Purpose

I have been teaching in one form and another most of my adult life. In 2000 I was ordained as a metaphysical minister and began teaching Ontology—the Art of Being.

In May 2020 I received a message that I was to teach a 24-week, 3-part series on Mary Magdalene. Prior to that I had given her little thought. Except that a few months earlier a friend had introduced me to Kathleen Mc Gowan’s trilogy The Expected One which I had enjoyed greatly, as a novel.

Over the next months I received a full download of how the series was to work. It was to be divided into three parts, 8-weeks each, and each class lasting two hours. The series would present Magdalene’s life before, during and after her time with Jesus/Yeshua.

Although I had always taught in the classroom, these classes were to be offered on the internet.

We were to begin classes in January of 2021, giving me more than enough time to prepare the curriculum. Or so, I thought.

I started with the classic search and found all the usual information: Magdalene… Harlot… Companion to Jesus… Apostle to the Apostles…

So, I turned to my browser and began a book search. Since I learn better by audio, I directed my attention to all the available audio books. I listened to Karen King, Megan Waterson, Jean-Yves LeLoup, and others.

I hired a webmaster and based on the information I found on the internet named the group Mary Magdalene’s Wisdom Circles. Much to my surprise it drew people from all over the United States and Canada.

Encouraged, I settled in to write. And nothing came! Months passed. I had writer’s block. This never happened to me ever before. At this point I had been teaching for over 20 years, writing both the curriculum and corresponding syllabus for each of my many classes. What was happening here?

For the first time I actually turned to praying to Mary Magdalene herself and asked for help. I was guided back to the browser to look for books and this time found the trilogy by Estelle Isaacson, Through the Eyes of Mary Magdalene. I had not seen this before. It was not available in the audible and I ordered the entire series all at once.

I was so excited when Book One arrived first. Sitting down that evening I read through the Foreword and to my disappointment realized that the book was channeled material. This set off loud alarm bells in my ears. Disillusioned, I told myself no, I was not interested and set the book aside.

Several days later I was still wondering what I was supposed to do. The message in May and the subsequent messages had been so loud and clear and yet when I sat down to the computer, nothing would come. Then I heard the voice I was beginning to recognize as Magdalene’s saying to me, “You asked for my story and I gave it to you.” The Estelle Isaacson books.

The rest of the books had arrived by this point. I began reading and this time I could not stop. The detail, the insight, the humanness, the depth of Isaacson’s writing captured my soul.

A flow of words came pouring out of me. What emerged was that I was not to TEACH as much as guide others to the material. The story had already been told.

Then other books began to appear. I lost many hours of sleep surfing the internet for any and all channeled books on the lives of Yeshua and Magdalene.  There are many.

As I immersed myself in the third part of this series, I began to get a new message. The message came several times saying that the name of the group needed to change. I spoke to the current students, and we all agreed that this 3-part series had become a collection of channeled material “From (Mary) Magdalene’s Perspective,” about the life lived by these two people and their descendants.

This is the material being offered now, seen through fresh eyes to see and through ears that have heard.

Once I contacted the webmaster and presented the new information, I returned to my habitual evening searches of the internet to look for new material. With delight I detected that same voice coming through and saying, “You’re done for now.”

Now I am overjoyed that your search has brought you here. Even if you were initially searching for something else, I know you will be touched, delighted and changed by what you find here.
