Inspired by Esther's courage and the voices of so many LDS women on the internet over the last few weeks, Jess gets vulnerable and shares some of the poetry she's written over the past couple of years. Some heartbreaking, some fiery, some tender, her poems will likely connect with those traversing the terrain of deconstruction, seeking Heavenly Mother/the Divine Feminine, and/or craving inclusion at the institutional level.

Various ancient myths portraying the King's anointing, death, and rebirth come together in one miraculous Easter weekend, with the feminine archetype finally taking her rightful place in the story. In this episode, author and theologian Margaret Starbird joins Meg to share her spiritual and scholarly knowledge of the Divine Feminine as manifest in the Sacred Union of Christ with Mary Magdalene. Margaret shares about how she was inspired to seek the missing piece in the four gospels, and what she discovered in that pursuit. She emphasizes the importance of having the feminine represented in divinity, the yin to the yang, one of the two fishes in the Pisces symbol... the Christ and his Bride.

In this episode, Jess tells the story of Asenath and her husband Joseph. Joseph is a well-known character in the Bible, but much less is known or said about the young Egyptian daughter of a priest he falls in love with. The apocryphal text, "Joseph and Asenath", tells the story of Asenath's conversion and subsequent marriage. Her story includes a week of extreme penitence, a visit from an angel, her receiving a new name, and a miraculous encounter with honeybees. The entire translated text, which dates back to the first centruy AD, can be found at https://archive.org/stream/josephasenathcon00broo/josephasenathcon00broo_djvu.txt



Following this rendition of Asenath's story, Jess shares about an exciting new music project spearheaded by producer Kristina Bishoff (who made the music you hear on this podcast)! DIVINE is the first collection of music about Heavenly Parents and our divine potential. The goal is to release a new song every month starting in May 2024.
