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.
