  • Summary

  • The Magdalene Rising Collective invites you to explore the transformative wisdom of the Bible’s Marys like never before. Through thought-provoking conversations, we aim to uncover the alternative spirit and narratives of Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, and their connection to the Divine Feminine.

    This podcast is more than a study of religious texts—it’s a celebration of the profound influence these Marys have had on theology, spirituality, art, and personal transformation. Together, we’ll dive into stories that expand beyond traditional teachings, shedding light on the roles of these women as visionaries, leaders, and symbols of feminine power.

    The Magdalene Rising Collective is a devoted group of four women from Canada and the US, united by a shared passion for spiritual growth, women’s empowerment, and the profound teachings of the Magdalenes.

    To us, Magdalene is not just a name—it’s a sacred title and a lineage of divine feminine wisdom. Rooted in the Hebrew word migdal, meaning “tower” or “watchtower,” Magdalene represents strength, vision, and the sacred responsibility to hold space for transformation.

    It is a path of empowerment, healing, and alignment with the divine, calling women to reclaim their voice, honor their truth, and embody their sacred connection.

    At Magdalene Rising Collective, we believe that every woman carries the essence of Magdalene within her. This essence calls her to rise into her fullest potential, to walk the path of self-awareness, and to embody her divine feminine wisdom. Together, as a collective, we honor this sacred title, co-creating lives of authenticity, empowerment, and purpose.

    We invite every woman to walk this path of the Magdalene in her own unique way—to reclaim her inner tower of strength, align with her truth, and embody her sacred wholeness.

  • Reclaiming the Rosary & The Divine Feminine with Clark Strand

    Reclaiming the Rosary & The Divine Feminine with Clark Strand
    Feb 1 2025

    🌹 Episode Four: Reclaiming the Rosary & The Divine Feminine with Clark Strand

    What if the Rosary wasn’t just a prayer—but a powerful tool for reclaiming the Divine Feminine?

    In this episode of Something About Marys, we dive deep with Clark Strand, co-author of The Way of the Rose, to explore the hidden, earth-honoring roots of the Rosary and how it was originally a women’s folk practice before being co-opted by patriarchal religion.

    ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    🔹 The Rosary’s original role as a sacred feminine practice
    🔹 How it was later reshaped by institutionalized religion
    🔹 The mystical power of chanting, vibration, and frequency in prayer
    🔹 How reconnecting with the Rosary can empower women today

    🌿 Clark’s work is a call to reclaim our spiritual inheritance—not as an institution’s tool, but as a deeply personal, mystical, and Earth-honoring practice.
