Mary Magdalene
In the texts of Gnostic Christianity, Mary Magdalene emerges as a figure of profound importance. She transcends conventional portrayals, as the cherished confidante of Jesus Christ, the "Apostle of Apostles". With a soul ignited by the sacred fire of enlightenment, she holds the codes of a bright tapestry woven of mysticism and spiritual grace. Within Christ's teachings, she embodies the very essence of the feminine mystery.Mary Magdalene's mythic rose-heart radiates with the brilliance of true divine knowledge, traversing the perceived limitations of space and time, to unveil her truths and teachings to those with ears to hear, eyes to see, and hearts to feel. She is the once-forgotten, now-remembered muse of divine revelation—an oracle beckoning seekers to embrace the currents of inner illumination. In her, the sacred marriage of wisdom and compassion reaches its pinnacle, guiding pilgrims beyond the veils of illusion toward the luminous shores of spiritual liberation.The name "Magdalene," derived from the title "of Magdala," holds rich historical and mythological significance. Magdala, was a village on the Sea of Galilee, as a title it translates to mean "tower" or "lighthouse" in Hebrew. Mary Magdalene's name, intertwined with this ancient heritage, emerges as a symbol of illumination and guidance across the sea of our spiritual consciousness. She actively participated in Christ's ministry, witnessed his crucifixion, and was the first to behold his resurrected light body.Setting forth from the Holy Lands, she traversed the seas, arriving on the shores of Southern France bearing the Teachings of Love, laying the groundwork for the earliest Christian churches. Venturing further, she explored the sacred groves of Druidic England and the Emerald Isles, forming bonds with the indigenous communities of that time. The fusion of these diverse teachings now constitutes the bedrock of Christianity, inspiring our continued study and reverence for its authentic origins. Mary Magdalene transcends mere nomenclature, symbolizing a profound invitation to claim the Christed Rose within. Blessed are we who get to stand in sisterhood and support each other while it blooms.

Priestess Janani Cederwood Skye
&
Reverend Luna Marie Rose
Janani Skye has been professionally leading group experiences for over 16 years. She has globally been leading deep-dive immersions for the last 9 years as an international Yoga Teacher Trainer. Her connection with Mary Magdalene has been a long and slow mysterious journey, beginning when she first learned that the church has tried to cover up the deeper truths of Mary’s story. From there, Jananí often describes her experience as Mary coming from time to time to knock on her door and see when she was really ready to uncover, unlock, and discover the mystic heart at the core of Mary’s teachings, and how they seem to merge and weave with the other paths she has been called towards. Jananí's path is rooted in earth-based traditions and she is passionate about bringing people together for powerful transformational journeys. The Goddess lineages she is most intimately connected with are those of Brigid, Mary Magdalene, & The Morrigan—practicing and studying personally, as well as spending the last 4 years with Lady Graelynn in Priestess College. Jananí also lived in Southern India for a year studying Vedanta with her teacher Swami Dayananda Saraswati. She resides in Oregon where she is a Temple Pillar and Melissae at The Goddess Temple of Ashland, assisting with Priestess College.
Luna Marie Rose began her journey with Mary Magdalene in 2008, ignited by a profound visionary experience at the Ahara Center of Divinity Studies, in Portland, OR. During vivid memories of being present during the Crucifixion of Christ, she felt a deep connection to the women mourning at the foot of the cross. Particularly a woman wearing a Red Veil. This pivotal moment propelled Luna into a deep exploration of Mary Magdalene's story, delving into history, herstory, mythology, and various wisdom traditions of that time. Internationally recognized as a respected guide in her fields of study, she brings over a decade of expertise fostering priestess trainings, years of research on the feminine principal within religious philosophy and history, Goddess faith studies, tantric healing practices, and holding initiations for others within the lineages of Sophian Gnostic Christianity and Druidic Mystery Schools. Luna graduated from the Source School of Tantra Yoga in 2012 and has been blessed with the ongoing privilege of honing her priestess skills under the Graell lineage for over 13 years, led by Lady Graelynn and the Goddess Temple of Ashland, OR. With a heart full of gratitude for the profound magik of spiritual pilgrimage, Luna has journeyed to sacred sites worldwide, kindling transformative experiences of remembrance. Co-founding TOR (Temples of Remembrance) in 2023 with fellow Rose Lineage Priestesses, Luna passionately follows the Red Thread and remains devoted to the mystery as it continues to unveil itself.
