The Magic of Mary Magdalene with Joanna Kujawa
New Thinking AllowedSep 18, 2026
Author and self-described spiritual detective Joanna Kujawa argues that Mary Magdalene was never a prostitute, but Jesus's most advanced disciple and the keeper of his esoteric teachings. Drawing on the Gnostic Gospels, Tantra, Egyptian mysteries and Cathar history, she claims this 'divine feminine' wisdom of intuitive inner knowing was deliberately suppressed. She also proposes that Mary Magdalene may have become the alchemist Mary the Jewess in Alexandria, and that a recurring goddess presence returns across cultures in times of crisis.
Ian Purdie on The Roman Heist: The Supressed Eastern Teaching of Jesus & Mary Magadalene
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioJul 22, 2026
Historian, musician, and longtime Buddhist tantric practitioner Ian Purdie argues that Yeshua (Jesus) studied with Buddhists in India during his 'lost years,' survived the crucifixion, and married Mariamne (Mary Magdalene). He uses the Talpiot tomb, the Shroud of Turin, and Gnostic texts like the Gospel of Philip and Gospel of Thomas to argue that Yeshua was a tantric master whose teachings Rome later rebuilt into a political state religion. The conversation ranges from Constantine's merging of sun worship and Mithraism to Knights Templar tomb raiding, Elohim as a plural, and the nature of awareness versus consciousness.
