🜃 Weekly Roundup: Magdalene Returns, Jesus Throws Shade, and Rumi Orders a Round

A week of soul-wisdom, rebel mysticism, and a little sacred mischief at the bar between heaven and earth.

While theologians were still debating who’s allowed at the altar, this week we pulled up a chair for Magdalene, Jesus, and Rumi—and let them talk without a priest in sight. From deep contemplative truths to cosmic satire, this roundup is for anyone tired of the script and ready for the scroll. Whether you came for the fire, the laughter, or the luminous stillness between breaths, we lit candles in all directions.

🪞Wisdom, Not Justice: Why Magdalene’s Return Is a Mystical Imperative

We don’t need justice for Mary. We need vision. Justice puts her in a courtroom. Wisdom puts her back in the inner circle. This post breaks the courtroom spell and places her where she belongs: beside the Teacher, not behind him.

👁 The Real Mary Was There All Along

She was never missing. Just misnamed, misfiled, and liturgically erased. This is a finger pointed directly at every sermon that replaced her with Peter and called it faith. Don’t say she was lost. Say she was buried under cowardice and found by firelight.

🔥 Jesus Wasn’t Starting a Religion. He Was Starting a Fire.

Institutional church: 2,000 years of asbestos. This piece is for those who want to feel the original heat, not just admire the ashes. Jesus didn’t draft bylaws. He struck the match and handed us the torch.

🍷 Rumi and Jesus Walk into a Bar…

What do you get when you mix ecstatic Islam with outlaw Christ-mysticism? A conversation soaked in wine, paradox, and holy madness. Rumi didn’t convert. He recognized. And that recognition? It’s the joke with no punchline—only a kiss.

🕯 Reclaiming the Vigil: Practicing the Magdalene Watch

Not a devotion. A defiance. This isn’t your grandma’s candlelight service. The Magdalene Watch is for those who know the tomb still whispers and the stone keeps moving. Stay up. Stay open. She’ll speak.

🎯 The One Thing: What Are You Actually Here For?

Sermons told you to serve. Gurus told you to manifest. But Magdalene knew: your true work isn’t out there—it’s the fire in your chest you keep avoiding. This post lights it up.

🔐 The Magdalene as Gatekeeper of the Paschal Mystery

If Easter is the climax of Christianity, then why was Mary edited out of the script? Because she didn’t just witness resurrection—she understood it. And nothing terrifies empire like a woman who understands resurrection.

💧 The Church Taught Me Morals. The Mystic Taught Me to Melt.

You can follow rules and still be frozen. Or you can melt into the mystery that terrified your Sunday school teacher. This one’s a love letter to the messy mystic who gave you permission to dissolve.

👁️‍🗨️ Why Contemplation Leads to Revolution: Magdalene as Model of Inner Seeing

💬 That’s the roundup, beloveds. Nine offerings. Nine thorns pulled from theology’s side. And if you missed one? No worries. Magdalene doesn’t keep score—she just keeps showing up.

Until next week:
Breathe deep. Pray sideways. Start fires.
