Have you ever wondered just why holy rituals matter? You are invited to journey into the significance of anointing, as seen through the lens of Mary Magdalene's life. Together, we, Shelly Shepherd and Heather Drake, delve into the sacred act of anointing as a bridge to spiritual and physical healing. Could it be that Jesus himself was taught this practice by the revered Mary Magdalene? We paint her in a new light as a wisdom figure, encouraging another look into the potential of anointing practices and their power to steer us towards truth and completeness.
Imagine living as a 'fifth-way' person, a concept that shapes our interactions and relations with the world. We discuss this concept, rooting it firmly in the realm of wisdom as a relational conduit, nudging listeners to foster a deeper love for themselves and the world. Mary Magdalene's story is our guiding light as we explore the depth of love and its tendency to spark misunderstandings. What does it mean to live in this wisdom-way daily?
Drawing from Mary Magdalene's teachings and our personal experiences, we invite you to begin a practice in self-love and consider anointing yourself with it. As we approach the episode's end, we shift focus to Mary Magdalene's teachings from the gospel, painting her story as a call to love, expansion, and inclusivity. We are thrilled to share this enlightening conversation with you, and we hope it resonates just as powerfully with you as it does with us. Tune in for a deep, engaging discussion that promises to leave you replete with wisdom and a fresh perspective.
