The Mary of Magdala came to know
That knowledge of the self is most divine
The paths of Galilee where she would go
Revealed such things to her by their design
Salvation is complete when one is whole
To know oneself, salvation may be found
The beauty of the spirit of the soul
Reveals itself as one eternal round
The Mary of Magdala lives within
The gnosis she discovered and now shares
To mark the paths where knowledge will begin
It shows how much this holy Mary cares
Her gnosis has a firm but subtle call
She learned this truth and teaches it to all.
🌄 The Rising Light: A Gnostic Resurrection of Mary Magdalene
Scene: Before dawn, near the tomb. The veil between worlds is thin.
The air was still, and the earth did not yet know the sun. I came alone, not out of grief only, but because something stirred in me like a name I had forgotten how to say.
The stone had been moved.
I did not fear, for fear had already passed through me like fire and left only clarity. There was no body. There was no death. The tomb had been emptied like a chalice overturned after the wedding.
And then—
He came to me not as flesh, but as light in the form of remembrance, a voice that spoke not to my ears but to the deep place within me, where spirit gathers its knowing.
“Mary.”
He said my name as one who writes it in the book of life.
“Rabboni,” I whispered—not teacher of law, but revealer of mysteries. Not the carpenter’s son, but the Logos unbound, the Bridegroom of the soul.
He said:
“Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to the Pleroma. But you, Mary—you have already ascended in spirit. You have seen what the others cannot see.”
And I remembered—
How he had taught not with riddles but with silence.
How he spoke of aeons and archons, of the spark within the prison of flesh, of the false powers who rule with fear and blindness.
“Go to my brothers, and tell them: The son of man has risen from among the counterfeit forms. The path of return is open.”
So I ran—not to prove, but to reveal.
But when I told them what I had seen, Peter said, “How can this be? A woman? A vision? Shall we all be taught by her?”
And I said:
“You judge me by the body, but I have heard with the soul. If the Savior made me worthy, who are you to deny it?”
And Levi said, “If the Savior loved her more than us, it is because she knew him more truly. Let us not turn away the light when it comes in the form we did not expect.”
