The Other Goddess

Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge

By: Dr. Joanna Kujawa

Narrated by: Melissa Redmond

Is there a lineage of goddesses that claims the evolutionary power of female sexuality? Was Mary Magdalene one of them, and what were her teachings?

Dr. Joanna Kujawa argues that in the process of recovering the healing power of the Goddess we have focused solely on the mother archetype and left out the other Goddess, who is often represented in mythical, historical, and Gnostic sources as wise, mysterious, and in the possession of the healing power of Eros.

Looking into esoteric traditions that celebrated the Goddess and her art of sexual alchemy, Dr. Joanna Kujawa discovers that Mary Magdalene stands at the center of this investigation. Learn about her portrayal in the gnostic gospels as a teacher and Jesus's intimate partner, the possibility of her life as an alchemist in Egypt, and her last years in Southern France. Find out her connection to the mysterious Cathars, Black Madonnas, and Knights Templar.

Whether looking at Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Aphrodite, Inanna, Hathor, Isis, or the goddesses of esoteric Hinduism, Dr. Kujawa finds the archetype of The Other Goddess—the bearer of the mysteries of sexual alchemy that ends the division between sexuality and spirituality.

Excellent inquiry into a forgotten history

Exceedingly well-written book with not only scholarly researched information, but also personal anecdotes that show Dr. Kujawa's long interest in the histories of Mary Magdalene. We see how this history was purposefully erased by misogynistic religious leaders and historians. Very informative work. The narration was well done as many of the names were difficult, but Ms. Redmond was never stymied. I would highly recommend!!

A beautiful perspective on Magdalen and the Goddess

I thoroughly enjoyed this exploration on Mary Magdalen and the esoteric teachings of Tantra, the ancient Goddess lineages and The Gospel of Mary Magdalen all cohesively woven together.

Goddesses, eroticism and more

More about Devine feminine in all her incarnations than about Mary Madeline herself , beautiful and insightful, recommended reading

Yes! Listen & Love the journey you embark upon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I allowed my intuition to guide me & I randomly selected this book when I searched for a Mary Magdalene themed adventure.
I'm honestly sad the book ended & I look forgot listening to it again!

The author shared her experiences with such juice for life & delectable ways of expressing her research. (Even when she didn't agree with the sources she quoted or referenced- such class!)

I was captivated the entire 6+ hours. The lovely voice of Melissa kept me spellbound as well.

I truly look forward to discovering more from this author. She makes disgesting knowledge even more delightful than I already find it to be.
