    About this ebook

    THIS IS A LOVE STORY, the tale of a woman who dream of love and power and found more than she dreamed. It is a historical romance with mystical tones.

    In Magdala 17 A.D.: the young Jewish woman, Mary is entranced by a golden lover on a white horse -- the Roman Centurion Quintus Gallus. Sensuous, with powerful emotions, born with "second sight" (clairvoyance), she sees fragments of her future life. Seduced by Quintus, she is later captured by Arabs and escapes to Caesarea, only to be thrown into a life of prostitution. She becomes a courtesan in Caesarea, and for a time the mistress of Pontius Pilate. But her painful love for Quintus leads to hashish and finally insanity; she is "possessed" by a devil, a dark voice in her mind. Mad on the streets, and tormented by the "devil", she faces stoning, but is rescued by a strange Galilean who has marvelous powers of healing: Jesus of Nazareth. It is Jesus who reveals the real mysteries of Love to Mary and what teacher her to "walk the rainbow" to spiritual individuation.

    Pontius Pilate, the centurion Quintus Gallus, a disciple named Judas, the Devil himself, and the Nazarene prophet, Jesus are the alchemical agents that transform a prostitute into a saint --the legendary woman of the Bible who anointed the Master's feet and dried them with her hair.

    This is a novel of people, adventure and passion. It is written for every woman who "loved and lost," but did not understand the significance of what happened. This book is also a Jungian alchemical parable of transmutation and it has much meaning for those interested in mystical Christianity, yoga, holistic health, ESP, and mythology of the Joseph Campbellian variety.

    Mary is a Biblical hero, but she is also the eternally questing hero of the mythic round; and if Jesus is the Biblical Christ, He is also that Magus figure who leads men to a higher state of consciousness. This is the story of a woman of passion who achieved the gate of heaven.

    For every true lover ... and especially RK.

      Why Do Many People STRUGGLE With A LACK OF FAITH?

      Feb 11, 2022

      The apostle Paul exhorts Christians to “walk by faith and not by sight” – 2 Corinthians 5:7. What we see here is a contrast between truth and perception—what we know and believe to be true and what we perceive to be true. This is where the Christian

      Mary Magdalene, the Thirteenth Disciple - Dr. Pat Kubis

      My Personal Testimony

      Like the psalmist, David, I would like to share with you, the reader, the joy of my salvation (Psalm 51:12). Every Christian has a witness (story or miracle); this is mine. No matter how deep in the pit of sin we fall, Jesus can lift us out and give us salvation! He can forgive, empower, heal, set us free from guilt, and put love in our hearts for God and our fellow man. Knowing and loving Jesus is true happiness that flows out to others, and we become a blessing to mankind instead of a curse! We become Christ’s true representatives (ambassadors) on earth. Paul reminds me, and it is true that God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (Galatians 6:14). I know that there is no good in me—there is no good in any one of us except Christ dwelling in us, and that is where all the glory goes. Even Jesus depended on His close relationship with His Father (God) for His strength and wisdom. He never let go of that connection. He was our example for success. He brings out the best in everyone!

      Some children are raised in strong, secure Christian homes. Some face the reality of coming into this world in non-Christian homes, some with alcoholic or drug-addicted parents. In my case, divorce had negative side effects and brought insecurity. This was compounded by the fact that when I was twelve years old, my father died at age thirty-six as a result of a motorcycle accident. I was a wild weed growing up. I did have a wonderful grandmother, and she made us go to church every week. For the first thirty years of my life, if someone was to come up to me and ask if I was a Christian, I would probably say yes—but in reality, I was not. Jesus Christ was not the center of my life. I never really read the Bible, so how could I have known what God’s will was for my life? Since there are many Christian churches that believe differently, I believe we all need to prayerfully read God’s Word to know what truth is (John 17:17; Matthew
