Mary Magdalene

It’s good to have role models — even imaginary ones.

Mary Magdalene, as some people have always known, was Jesus’ wife. She was also his spiritual equal. They were a pair. Not many know that they were actually born on the same day. They knew each other from childhood, growing up at the Essene Community at Mt. Carmel.

The “Wedding at Cana” was the wedding of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

We don’t know much about Mary Magdalene, except that she was very beautiful and had hair “the color of new wine,” which means: fresh-pressed grape juice.

She was the daughter of Joseph of Arimathea, and Mary of Magdala. Mary of Magdala was the daughter of Balthazar, one of the Three Magi, who was actually from Parthia, not Ethiopia. So, when Balthazar went to visit the infant Jesus in Bethlehem, he also got a chance to meet his new granddaughter. Since they were probably living at Joseph of Arimathea’s house in Jerusalem at the time, this might be why Balthazar went to Jerusalem.

This real photograph was taken in Jerusalem. After it was developed, it showed the image of Joseph of Arimathea and Jesus talking (on the left). The disciple Thaddeus is reportedly on the right.

Joseph of Arimathea was not only wealthy, he was one of the wealthiest men in the whole Roman world. He was a “billionaire,” making most of this fortune from tin mines in Western Britain. As you can imagine, his daughter grew up in comfort. She enjoyed fine clothing and jewelry, although she wasn’t silly about it.

She was the living embodiment of feminine virtue and excellence.

After the Crucifixion, she migrated to Southern France, around the Rennes le Chateau area. Her body was found there (or made public) a few years ago.

She had three children with Jesus. One son went to India to live with Babaji. One son went to Western Britain with Joseph of Arimathea, who also went there after the Crucifixion. (I am guessing that King Arthur was a direct descendant of this son.) A daughter stayed in France. Many millions of people today are descended from her.

Since we don’t really know much about her, at least from the usual texts, we can project our own ideals upon her. Wasn’t she a wonderful wife and mother?

Women: Just do it like Mary Magdalene.
