The Hidden Truth About Mary Magdalene & the Virgin Mary With Marguerite Rigoglioso, PhD - #839

EVEN MORE about this episode!

What if the story we've inherited about Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary is only part of the story? What did ancient and noncanonical texts say about these women—and why were some of those traditions pushed to the margins of history?

Julie Ryan sits down with scholar, author, spiritual teacher, and Seven Sisters Mystery School founder Dr. Marguerite Rigoglioso for a provocative exploration of the Marys, the sacred feminine, ancient mystery traditions, and ideas about women's spiritual authority that challenge conventional narratives.

Marguerite shares her research and interpretations of Gnostic writings, the Infancy Gospel of James, and ancient Greek and Egyptian traditions, exploring portrayals of Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene as spiritual teachers, healers, priestesses, and leaders. She discusses the controversial idea that Mother Mary may have been Mary Magdalene's teacher, why Mary Magdalene's role was diminished in later traditions, and what these alternative sources suggest about women's authority in early spiritual communities.

The conversation ventures even further into mystery as Julie and Marguerite explore divine and virgin birth traditions, ancient goddess practices, Marian apparitions, sacred sites and ley lines, the Pleiades and Seven Sisters traditions, the spiritual symbolism of roses, and whether ancient cultures preserved pieces of the same sacred story.

Marguerite also shares deeply personal spiritual experiences—including an awakening at the ancient site of Eleusis and an experience involving Mother Mary that helped her reconnect with her own deceased mother.

Then, near the end of the conversation, something special happens: Marguerite channels messages she attributes to Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene, including a message about love, spiritual connection, and the possibility that these figures remain available to those who seek them.

Julie and Marguerite close by exploring one of humanity's oldest questions: Why do we incarnate at all—and what if resurrection represents something available to every soul?

Whether you grew up Catholic or Christian, feel drawn to Mary Magdalene, are exploring the Divine Feminine, or simply suspect there may be more to these ancient stories than you were taught, this conversation will give you plenty to consider.
