Margaret Starbird

An in-depth investigation of the facts and mythology surrounding the historical Mary Magdalene Reveals new details about the life of the beloved of Jesus Illustrated with rare and unusual imagery depicting Marys central role in Christianity By the author of the bestselling The Woman with the Alabaster Jar The controversy surrounding Mary Magdalene and her relationship to Jesus has gained widespread international interest since the publication of Dan Browns novel The Da Vinci Code, which specifically cites Margaret Starbirds earlier works as a significant source. In Mary Magdalene, Bride in Exile Starbird examines the many faces of Mary Magdalene, from the historical woman who walked with Jesus in the villages of Judea to the mythic and symbolic Magdalene who is the archetype of the Sacred Feminine. Starbird reveals exciting new information about the woman who was the most intimate companion of Jesus and offers historical evidence that Mary was Jesus forgotten bride. Expanding on the discussion of medieval art and lore introduced in her bestselling book The Woman with the Alabaster Jar, Starbird sifts through the layers of misidentification under which the story of the Lost Bride of Christ has been buried to reveal the slandered woman and the exiled feminine principle. She establishes the identity of the historical female disciple who was the favored first witness of the Resurrection and provides an interpretation of Marys true role based on prophecy from the Hebrew scriptures and the testimony of the canonical gospels of Christianity. Balancing scholarly research with theological reflection, she takes readers deeper into the story and mythology of how Magdalene as the Bride embodies the souls own journey in its eternal quest for reunion with the Divine.

In an era that has reclaimed many aspects of the feminine, Margaret Starbirds The Woman with the Alabaster Jar stands out as a courageous exploration of the scorned feminine in the Western religious tradition. But espousing the marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene created a personal crisis for this Catholic scholar. In The Goddess in the Gospels the author tells how she was guided in her ever-deepening study of the New Testament and the gematria--number coding of the Greek alphabet--by an incredible series of synchronicities that mirror the inner and outer worlds and which reveal the Sacred Marriage of male and female--the hieros gamous--leading to her own personal redemption.

En La diosa de los evangelios la autora utilizó la historia de su propia búsqueda, lo cual convierte a este libro en un documento único. Los autores del nuevo Testamento establecieron los números de las frases mediante la guematria, un sistema de numeros simbolicos ampliamente practicado por los estudiosos griegos y hebreos en el periodo helenistico. Estos numeros siguen estando codificados en las frases griegas de los Evangelios. Basandose en la numerologia del texto original de los Evangelios, los numeros sagrados nos demuestran irrevocablemente que, en la mitologia cristiana, Maria Magdalena era entendida como la Diosa. Este libro narra la historia de su propia conversion gradual, de una catolica romana ortodoxa en alguien que ahora cree que, en el pasado, el Matrimonio sagrado encarnado en Cristo y Maria Magdalena estuvo en el corazon del cristianismo. Los numeros sagrados que se encuentran en los Evangelios la convencieron de que, sin lugar a dudas, esta habia sido la fe de la Iglesia primitiva. Este libro reclama a la Novia de Jesus y la devuelve al cristianismo, ofreciendo un modelo celestial de una relacion verdadera en el umbral del nuevo milenio.

In Magdalenes Lost Legacy, author Margaret Starbird decodes the symbolic numbers embedded in the original Greek phrases of the New Testament--revealing the powerful presence of the feminine divine.The New Testament contains wide use of gematria, a literary device that allows the sums of certain phrases to produce sacred numbers. Exploring the hidden meanings behind these numbers, Starbird reveals that the union between Jesus and his bride, Mary Magdalene, formed a sacred partnership that was the cornerstone of the earliest Christian community.Magdalenes Lost Legacy demonstrates how the crucial teaching of the sacred marriage that unites masculine and feminine principles--the heiros gamos--is the partnership model for life on our planet and the ultimate blueprint for civilization. Starbirds research challenges the concept that Christ was celibate and establishes Mary Magdalene as the human incarnation of the sacred bride. The author also explains the true meaning of the 666 prophesied in the Book of Revelation. Through this potent reclaiming of the lost legacy of Mary Magdalene, Margaret Starbird offers the opportunity to restore the divine feminine to her rightful role as bride, beloved, and sacred partner.

Margaret Starbirds theological beliefs were profoundly shaken when she read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a book that dared to suggest that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalen and that their descendants carried on his holy bloodline in Western Europe. Shocked by such heresy, this Roman Catholic scholar set out to refute it, but instead found new and compelling evidence for the existence of the bride of Jesus--the same enigmatic woman who anointed him with precious unguent from her alabaster jar. In this provocative book, Starbird draws her conclusions from an extensive study of history, heraldry, symbolism, medieval art, mythology, psychology, and the Bible itself. The Woman with the Alabaster Jar is a quest for the forgotten feminine--in the hope that its return will help restore a healthy balance to planet Earth.
