“…Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river..” ~Creedence Clearwater Revival
Coming full circle - I have been working with the 12 virtues connected with the Zodiac in conjunction with what I call the 7’s represented by the ‘Wandering Stars’. This was significant for me after having received the inspiration during the Holy Nights 2 years ago while at Beaver Run Camphill, to work with Mary Magdalene for an offering about ‘The One Who Anoints The Anointed One’ last Easter.
Mary Magdalene & the Women at the Tomb & Mary Magdalene - The Sanctifier - Performed by Velsum
And thru that research I realized that I was being called to personally work to employ the practical application in my own Quest to ‘Cast out of the 7 demons’ - Holding hope, that a vice can become a virtue.
The 12 Virtues, as given by Rudolf Steiner, are soul-motions - Not only inner steps to Self-knowing, but exertions, trials - leading from empirical practice to enhancement. Each virtue brings a dynamic transition in our path-seeking - taking us thru the cycle of the year in the evolutionary Grail Quest toward being human.
And so it is that the ‘Big wheel keeps on turnin' & I have come back to the virtue I started with for MAY (21 April - 20 May) ‘Equilibrium becomes progress’.
Magdalene or Magdala means ‘Tower, Magnificent, or Great’. Miriam or Mary, from the ancient Egyptian language, means “Beloved”. In Hebrew, it translates as “Rebellious”. You will meet Mary Magdelene as the High Priestess of Isis – She of the ‘Thunder Perfect Mind’, Bearer of the Holy Grail - The archetype of Independence, in the Quest to Become a Sovereign human being.
Working with the ‘Gospel of Mary Magdalene’, artistic inspiration, ceremony and prayer, you will meet ‘The Beloved Companion’ who will take you on an initiatory journey in the form of a guided ritual meditation, which begins in a purification process that involves ‘Casting out the 7 demons’ to clear your 7 chakras.
When you enter the mystery of the Magdala you meet a guide to sacred healing – One of the Holy Myrrh Bearers – Her tears bestow the holy salt of compassion. The alabaster jar of your heart must be broken open, & it's precious oil, poured out at the feet of Love, anointing the ‘Annointed One’.
The Magdala is the vessel for passionate devotion - Showing you how to practice a True Bhakti - a new kind of Love - opposite to the false name prostitute. Learn instead the Greek term Hierodoulos – a holy Priestess of Sexual Healing - to enact the Mystic Marriage with the Earth.
Dear sisters & brothers, You have been chosen to tap into her power & Live into her Legends, on The Feast Day of Mary Magdalene - 22 July 2024.

Hi Hazel,
Been reviewing this from last year tonight. It covers a lot of your inspiration for Mary Magdalene, which you are expressing again today.

The comments are 39, and most of it was between us, and so I have to wonder about the karmic connection?
Now, tomorrow is May 5th, and it is the sixth Sunday of the Easter Resurrection event. Thus, 36 days since Christ was Risen. This is when Christ appears for the last time to the disciples on the Sea of Tiberius. Thus, it is an important occasion for the future. In just four more days, the Ascension will occur, which is marked this year on Thursday, May 9th, 2024.

Hazel, I just had the strongest impression in reading again this lecture on "Preparing for the Sixth Epoch". It took me directly in my mind to what we recently discussed on the "Work of the Angels in the Human Astral Body". GA 182, 9 October 1918. So, we know that the Angeloi are working now directly for the 6th Cultural Epoch. They weave the Moral Imaginations needed for this 6th epoch. They also are endangered by forces that would bring them down and make them servile, which we must fight against as human beings at the fourth stage of development.
Remember, the Third Hierarchy of Archai, Archangels, and Angels now has the purse strings (so to speak) of the the rank of Creator Powers, which has been gifted by the Spirits of Form to them. Thus, spiritual developments in formative forces, i.e., the Exousiai, have now passed to the Spirits of Time, Folk, and Individuality, i.e., Spirits of Personality, Spirits of Nations, Spirits of Twilight. Thus, Form meets Time, and it is "about time that this takes place."
