✨ Revealing Mary Magdalene

Join Dr. A. - Andrea Slominski, PhD and I this Wednesday, July 22 at 10 AM PACIFIC on Mary Magdalene’s Feast Day for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Cindy Caldwell and Dr. Hannah Irish exploring groundbreaking biblical research that reexamines Mary Magdalene’s role in the earliest Jesus movement.

Together we explore what the Gospel of John may reveal about Mary Magdalene as the sister of Lazarus, why her leadership was later diminished, and how reclaiming her story can transform our understanding of Jesus’ original message, women in the early church, and Christianity as a living mythological tradition.

We also discuss Mary Magdalene as an archetypal expression of the Divine Feminine—and Cindy’s compelling insight that Jesus could not have fulfilled his mission without Mary Magdalene and the pivotal role she played in the biblical narrative.

Revealing Mary Magdalene w/ Drs. Cindy Caldwell and Hannah Irish

15/07/2026

So thrilled for my friend, Nicola Tannion Ph.D. She had a brilliant interview about the Irish diaspora and the reclamation of traditional Irish traditions like keening (a type of ritualized grieving).

Join Dr. A. - Andrea Slominski, PhD and me on Goddess Matters this Wednesday, June 17th at 10:00 AM Pacific for a powerful conversation with Samantha Zipporah and Annie Finch on the sacred dimensions of abortion.

In a culture where abortion is often framed through politics, stigma, and polarization, what happens when we approach it through the lenses of body literacy, autonomy, spirituality, and the wisdom of the feminine?

✨ This Week on Goddess Matters ✨

Dr. Andrea and I will be interviewing Dr. Odette Springer in response to the recent headlines surrounding the website “Motherless” and the growing divide we’re witnessing between men and women in our culture.

Dr. Odette presents a powerful and thought-provoking perspective through the ancient Navajo myth of Changing Woman — a sacred story she believes mirrors the deep imbalance and disconnection we are experiencing right now.

Together, we’ll explore:
• the inevitable tensions between masculine and feminine energies
• why balance must be restored for all of us to move forward
• and how myth may offer insight, meaning, and possible pathways toward healing

This is not a step-by-step solution. It is an invitation to consider:
What if these ancient stories hold keys for how we navigate the future together?

Can you guess who I found at the Louvre?

My favorite ancient Lady, Inanna-Ištar.

Most of these I’d only encountered in books, so you can imagine my delight when I came across them in the museum.

I even tried spotting her name on a number of cuneiform tablets (the earliest form of writing as we know it)

Does anyone else get so excited by Near Eastern antiquities that they end up photographing every fragment of cuneiform in the hope that one day they’ll be able to read it?

The moral of the story: The Mona Lisa may get all of the attention, but she’s not the only legendary lady at the Louvre. Make time to visit Inanna, too.
