The Cathar Prophecy and the Return of Mary Magdalene
700 years after the last Cathar was burned alive, their vision of equality, peace, and wisdom is rising again — and Mary Magdalene is leading the return.
The Last Words of a Heretic
In 1321, Guilhem Bélibaste, the last known Cathar perfectus, was executed by the Catholic Church in southern France. His final words carried a strange prophecy:
“In seven hundred years, the laurel will be green again, and the good men and women will return.”
What did he mean? For centuries, the phrase lingered in esoteric circles. In Cathar belief, the laurel symbolized eternal life and victory — its greening signaled spiritual rebirth.
In 2021, exactly 700 years later, the prophecy reentered public awareness. But it wasn’t just the timing. It was the sudden cultural and spiritual resurgence of everything the Cathars once stood for — especially their reverence for Mary Magdalene.
The Gospel They Tried to Bury
Mary Magdalene has been mislabeled and dismissed for nearly two millennia. But the Gospel of Mary, recovered in fragments from the sands of Egypt, reveals her as far more than a witness. She is a teacher. A mystic. A knower of hidden things.
The Cathars held her in the highest regard. In their tradition, Mary Magdalene was the apostola apostolorum — the apostle to the apostles. She wasn’t beneath Peter. She stood beside him — and often above.
In their eyes, Magdalene represented Sophia, the divine wisdom, long suppressed by institutional power.
Women Held Real Power
Unlike the Roman Church, Cathar communities welcomed women as spiritual equals. Women could become perfectae, serve as preachers and confessors, and lead ritual life. They weren’t just tolerated — they were central.
Women in Cathar society could also own property and had broader legal rights than in most of medieval Europe. The movement offered them what the dominant Church denied: dignity, voice, and spiritual authority.
This wasn’t a feminist innovation. It was a return to what the early Jesus movement had already lived — before orthodoxy locked the gates.
A Religion of Peace and Nonviolence
The Cathars embraced a radical ethic of non-harm. Many were vegetarians, not from preference, but principle. They believed harming any form of life contributed to the illusion and bondage of the material world.
In fact, one brutal method inquisitors used to identify them was to hand someone a live chicken and order them to kill it. If they refused to snap its neck, they were likely Cathar — and condemned.
Nonviolence wasn’t just a practice. It was proof of their faith.
A Prophecy Fulfilled
Today, we are seeing a growing global hunger for authentic spiritual wisdom — beyond dogma, beyond hierarchy, beyond patriarchy.
The sacred feminine is rising. Magdalene’s voice, long suppressed, is speaking again through hidden texts, new scholarship, and awakened communities.
This is not a rebranding. It is a return.
The prophecy was never about vengeance. It was about memory. What was buried would rise. What was silenced would sing again.
And now, the laurel is green.

It has no rivals, because it is non-competitive.
It has no ambition, it seeks only to serve.
It knows no boundaries, for nationalism’s are unloving.
It is not of itself, because it seeks to enrich all groups and religions.
It acknowledges all great Teachers of all the ages who have shown the truth of Love.
Those who participate, practice the Truth of Love in all their beings.
There is no walk of life or nationality that is a barrier.
Those who are, know.
It seeks not to teach but to be and by being, enrich.
It recognizes that the way we are may be the way of those around us because we are that way.
It recognizes the whole planet as a Being of which we are a part.
It recognizes that the time has come for the supreme transmutation, the ultimate alchemical act of conscious change of the ego into a voluntary return to the whole.
It does not proclaim itself with a loud voice, but in the subtle realms of loving.
It salutes all those in the past who have blazoned the path but have paid the price.
It admits no hierarchy or structure, for no one is greater than another.
Its members shall know each other by their deeds and being and by their eyes and by no other outward sign save the fraternal embrace.
Each one will dedicate their life to the silent loving of their neighbor and environment and the planet, whilst carrying out their task, however exalted or humble.
Each one will dedicate their life to the silent loving of their neighbor and environment and the planet, whilst carrying out their task, however exalted or humble.
It recognizes the supremacy of the great idea which may only be accomplished if the human race practices the supremacy of Love.
It has no reward to offer either here or in the hereafter, save that of the infallible joy of being and loving.
Each shall seek to advance the cause of understanding, doing good by stealth and teaching only by example.
They shall heal their neighbor, their community and our Planet.
They shall know no fear and feel no shame and their witness shall prevail over all odds.
It has no secret, no arcanum, no initiation save that of true understanding of the power of Love and that, if we want it to be so, the world will change but only if we change ourselves first.
All those who belong, belong; they belong to the Church of Love.
