The Virgin Mary’s time has come. In fact, we are long overdue for a revolutionary understanding of her that frees her from dogmatic baggage and restores her to her rightful place as a great holy woman. In recent decades, thousands of readers worldwide of books such as Meggan Watterson’s Mary Magdalene Revealed, Cynthia Borgeault’s The Meaning of Mary Magdalene, and Margaret Starbird’s The Woman with the Alabaster Jar have awoken to another Mary, Mary Magdalene, who is not a prostitute, but rather a consort of Jesus.
The first important thing to understand about Mother Mary’s secret life is that she was not a passive vehicle to her conception of Jesus. According to my research she was an active, willing orchestrator of this great event. As I mentioned in chapter 1, Mary was, in fact, a trained priestess in a lineage of women who knew how to divinely conceive special holy children going back to the early days of the Hebrew tradition.
