    The Women The Bible Forgot & Why Their Stories Matter Now - episode 16

    In this week’s blog/episode, we explore the women of the Bible who have been misunderstood, diminished, or written out of positions of spiritual leadership—and why that still matters for women today. Through the lens of the divine feminine, Mary Magdalene, and modern feminist theology, this piece invites women to reconnect with their intuition, wisdom, and spiritual authority. This isn’t about blaming men or rejecting masculine leadership. It’s about restoring balance, love, and equality in leadership and community. Because perhaps the greatest awakening for women in midlife…is remembering they were never powerless to begin with. p.s.

If you’re loving this conversation, there are quite a few authors, theologians, mystics, and feminist scholars exploring similar themes around: Mary Magdalene the suppression of the divine feminine women’s spiritual leadership lost or excluded gospels feminine wisdom traditions reclaiming women’s spiritual authority Here are some beautiful rabbit holes for you: Feminist Theology / Mary Magdalene / Divine Feminine Cynthia Bourgeault Probably one of the strongest companions to Meggan Watterson’s work. Her book: The Meaning of Mary Magdalene  explores Mary Magdalene as: an apostle spiritual initiate wisdom teacher embodiment of sacred feminine consciousness Very grounded, intelligent, mystical, and respected in contemplative Christian circles. Karen L. King A Harvard scholar who has done major academic work on: the Gospel of Mary early Christianity women’s roles in the early church Her work is more scholarly/academic than mystical, but incredibly important if you want historical grounding behind some of these conversations. Book: The Gospel of Mary of Magdala  Elaine Pagels A hugely influential scholar on: Gnostic gospels early Christianity excluded spiritual texts Books: The Gnostic Gospels  Beyond Belief  She explores how many early Christian traditions were more mystical and internally focused before institutional structures became dominant. Jean Houston Explores sacred feminine consciousness, archetypes, mysticism, and spiritual awakening. Less Bible-specific, more transformational feminine spirituality. Sue Monk Kidd Her book: The Dance of the Dissident Daughter  is iconic in feminine spiritual awakening spaces. It explores: reclaiming feminine spirituality questioning patriarchal religion inner authority awakening the sacred feminine Very readable and emotionally powerful. Marianne Williamson Especially around: spiritual leadership love-based power feminine wisdom rethinking traditional spiritual structures Not specifically Magdalene-focused, but very aligned energetically with your themes. Tricia McCannon Very Magdalene-focused. Books: Return of the Divine Sophia  writings on Mary Magdalene and feminine mystery traditions More esoteric/mystical than academic. Seren Bertrand Book: Magdalene Mysteries  Explores: Mary Magdalene as priestess feminine initiation womb wisdom sacred feminine rites Very mystical/priestess lineage style. Claire Sierra Book: The Magdalene Path  Focused on feminine awakening, embodiment, intuition, and living from feminine soul wisdom. More Historically Curious / Feminine Reclamation Mary Daly One of the early radical feminist theologians challenging patriarchal religious systems. Very intellectual and provocative. Riane Eisler Book: The Chalice and the Blade  Explores how societies shifted from partnership-based cultures into domination-based systems, including impacts on women and spirituality.
