Mary Magdalene was labeled a prostitute in 591 CE by Pope Gregory - not by the Bible.
The Gospel of Mary was banned, buried, and lost for over 1,500 years.
Mary Magdalene financially backed Jesus's ministry.
Jesus repeatedly trusted her with spiritual authority the male disciples struggled to understand.
Peter openly resented her in early Christian texts.
The Gospel of Mary teaches that liberation comes from within- not from external authority.
She was the first witness to the risen Christ.
"Apostle to the Apostles." Her teachings centered inner knowing.
Direct connection. The divine within.
Early Christianity was deeply divided.
Peter's church: hierarchy, obedience, control.
Magdalene traditions: gnosis, equality, mysticism.
She was never fully erased.
From ancient France to modern Magdalene movements she keeps returning.
So does the truth.
