MARY MAGDALENE and YESHUA: What Is the Divine Feminine?
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Mary Magdalene: The Divine Feminine is the essence of manifestation. The Divine Feminine is the vibratory energy of manifestation. It is manifestation in all its forms. This can span from the densest form, which most of you are experiencing right now as being on Earth (though there are actually even denser forms). But manifestation can span from concrete forms, such as physicality, all the way up to very subtle forms. These subtle forms could be the angelic realm, or other subtle manifestations and experiences that some of you may have had, where you have visions or you hear subtle sounds. All of that, the entire continuum, is part of manifestation.
Manifestation is a huge spectrum, from this relatively low frequency of physical manifestation up to a very high frequency of very exalted planes or dimensions, where you experience lights and sounds that oftentimes feel very blissful. Bliss is one of the qualities of the Divine Feminine, in her most exalted form is pure love.
In your world, the Divine Feminine is everything that is manifest, including your body, your emotions, and your energy. Your energy includes your sexual energy, sexuality, and sexual experiences. The Divine Feminine includes all of physicality, all of the world.
If you think about many spiritual traditions, especially in the past, many of these traditions excluded the Divine Feminine from spirituality. It wasn’t considered spiritual to be connected to your body, or to be emotional or even connected to your emotions, or to be engaging sexuality. Those things were considered the opposite of spirituality. Often the recommendation was to separate yourself from those things if you wanted to be spiritual.
We’re especially interested in addressing any vestiges of that consciousness, because that is really referring to separating from the Feminine. One of the ways the consciousness of separating from the Feminine has been used is to support people in connecting with the Divine Masculine. But we are suggesting a different path that doesn’t require negating either the Masculine or the Feminine. In fact, it requires embracing both, to the point that both can be in their natural relationship with each other, which is a relationship of pure union.

What Did Mary Magdalene Look Like?
By Mercedes Kirkel
Recently I found something intriguing on the internet. I learned that some Brazilian scientists are using 3D imaging technology to reconstruct the faces of various saints. Based on that, they’re producing life-size busts of what they believe the individuals actually looked like.
One of the people they’ve done this with is Mary Magdalene.
Working from a preserved skull that’s kept in a church in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume in southern France—claimed to be the skull of Mary Magdalene—they eventually came up with this image of Mary:
Image by Cicero Moraes (Own work)
What I was first struck by in seeing this image was how close it was to the picture of Mary that’s on the front cover of MARY MAGDALENE BECKONS. Mary personally guided me in the creation of that cover image. Here’s a comparison of the two:

Beyond that, I really liked how the image the Brazilian scientists came up with had dark skin and hair, as I think this is probably accurate. I believe Mary very likely came from Egypt, and perhaps was a descendant of the Queen of Sheba, who came from Egypt/Ethiopia. Since coming to believe this, I’ve wished that the image of Mary on MARY MAGDALENE BECKONS had darker skin. But Mary didn’t guide me to that. Perhaps she thought having dark hair and eyes was enough, as even that is a great stretch for many people.
What I do know is that Mary has cautioned against getting caught up in the external details of her life in the past. She views that as a distraction from her actual work and gift to us as spiritual teacher and guide.
Why is it that so many of us want to know the human details surrounding Yeshua (Jesus) and Mary’s lives? What will knowing those “facts” really give us? How much does it actually matter what color their hair or skin was? Where they were from? Whether they were married or had sex? How many children they had? And on and on…
What all that really tells us about is ourselves. If we’re drawn to those parts of their lives, they’re likely reflecting aspects of ourselves and our world that we’re not yet at peace with.
Are we at peace with a God-man loving a woman? Being sexual? Having a family? Are we at peace with a Goddess-woman being equal to a God-Man? With her having dark skin and coming from Africa? What does that say about us?
Mary’s focus with me has always been upon our spiritual growth. She has always shone her light on all of us rather than herself. This seems completely consistent with what I understand about what she and Yeshua did during their incarnation two thousand years ago. Their interest was in helping the people of that time grow spiritually. They didn’t talk about themselves and their background. That’s why we know so little about them. They spoke about us and our relationship to God.
My interactions with Mary have been just the same. She has endless passion for God and for helping us realize the same depth of connection with God that she lives and radiates. When I’m in her presence, that’s what I feel, very powerfully. I’m transported into her exceedingly blissful state, and any questions about who she was or other mundane aspects of life melt away. I’m blessed to regularly experience this and I find it to be tremendously satisfying.
Am I still curious about what she looked like and where she came from? Yes. I see that as a natural part of being incarnated in human form, to be interested in the details and lives of other incarnated beings, especially those you have a profound relationship with. But I’m also aware that these “details” and “stories” aren’t the real substance of my relationship with Mary. For me, it’s the help she brings to me and so many others—through her profound wisdom and the transmission of her state. That’s the real gold, the gem inside the wrapper, regardless of the form the “wrapper” takes.
My recommendation is: Enjoy the wrapper, but don’t mistake it for the gem inside.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Purpose of Kundalini Experiences
Image by Nico36~commonswiki
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I’m not sure how to use kundalini energy.
Mary Magdalene: A kundalini experience can be a taste, a window…
Questioner: Is it good to experience it?
Mary Magdalene: I cannot say without going into greater depth with you about your particular experience.
There is a certain danger in becoming enamored of experience. It’s like chasing a false god—wanting to have the experience again or thinking this is “the way” to have that experience.
In general, kundalini experiences are purifications. It’s a sign of something being purified in you. The purification may be allowing something in you to open up.
Be gentle. Be careful. Do not invoke more purification than is supportive of you.
Questioner: Thank you. I understand.
Mary Magdalene: I love you all so very much. I feel waves of love moving through my heart, tears coming, it is so powerful. This is a great gift that we all share. Thank you for sharing this with me.
I call forth all the blessings for each and all that will serve your path, your growth, your hearts, your union with God. So may it be.
In love, I AM Mary Magdalene.

MARY MAGDALENE: You Must Learn to Trust The Body
By Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I think my next step is knowing that I am connected to Source and that I am loved. I would like some advice on how to do that better. Right now I’m just trying to align myself and remember I am in my heart.
Mary Magdalene: The strongest way is to find the places where you don’t do that. This is your greatest help, through the places where you feel the most disconnected. Are you in touch with that at this time?
Questioner: I’m aware that sometimes I’m not connected to feeling my pain, or even aware when I’m in pain. My reaction has been one of frustration with all the physical things that are going on and my inability to take care of that.
Mary Magdalene: Physical, as in health?
Questioner: Yes, changes in the body, pains, injuring things in minor ways, or not being able to heal myself.
Mary Magdalene: What is your response when these things happen?
Questioner: I’m learning to love my body anyway, to accept that this is a just a body and this is where it is right now, in time.
Mary Magdalene: For most people, the effect of that kind of thinking is to alienate yourself from your own being.
Your body is in a certain kind of pain and you are adding another layer on top of it. This is often what is done with children. When children are crying, the adult says, “Don’t cry. Everything’s fine.” But that’s not the child’s reality. The child’s reality is that they are in pain.
The effect of that kind of communication over time is to tell them “Your reality isn’t real.” Then they start to dissociate from their experience. They think there must be something else they’re supposed to be feeling, other than what they actually are feeling.
Does that make sense?
Questioner: It does. I think I’m feeling what’s going on with my body. I just get frustrated with it because I want to make it better.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. You must let go of your goal.
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Your body has a different plan.
Questioner: Apparently.
Mary Magdalene: Are you willing to trust it?
Questioner: Hmmm…I think if I can love myself and know that I’m loved, then I can trust across the board.
Mary Magdalene: It tends to happen in the reverse order. When you trust your body and open to it, you will find the love. Until you do that, it will be your head working against your heart.
Questioner: Yes, I have a lot of intellectual energy.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. That is the inner union of the Masculine and the Feminine, right there.
There is fear of opening to the Feminine, opening to the body. What if it takes you into the darkness and you never come out? That is the great fear of opening to the Feminine.
Questioner: Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: Thank you.

5 Ascension Insights Most People Aren’t Talking About: Insight #4
By Mercedes Kirkel
INSIGHT #4: THIS IS A DEATH PROCESS
We’re dying to the third dimension.
We’re dying to our old way of being. We’re dying to our previous beliefs of what our life would consist of.
Some of what people are experiencing seems remarkably similar to what people go through who are physically dying. There can be a sense of loneliness. There can be increasing ambivalence about things that used to seem important. There can be increasing difficulty functioning in the old ways that seemed necessary to survive. Things you used to enjoy socially don’t seem attractive or important anymore.
You don’t seem able to “do your work” anymore. You may feel anxiety about covering your physical and financial needs, perhaps alternating with apathy about your old life and/or increasing acceptance of the changes occurring.
There may be an intensified longing to go “home.” You may sense a need to finish some soul-work, as part of completing your soul contract for this lifetime.
When I told one of my friends about what was happening to me, he said, “You’re not going to die on me, are you?” My response was that I didn’t know what was going to happen.
Physical-death may be one of the avenues this transition could take. It certainly seems to be a kind of spiritual death.
I believe one of the main things holding us to the third dimension is the belief in death as the opposite, or end, of life. This is possibly the most fundamental form that duality takes in this dimension—perceiving death as the enemy or opposer of life. A great deal of our energy in 3D is spent “fighting” to survive and live. This consciousness is reflected in what doctors sometimes say—that they “won” or “lost” the battle, when referring to a patient living or dying.
Through the ascension process, we move into a whole different relationship with life and death. We come to understand death as part of life, a continuation of the process of our soul in another form. As Mary Magdalene said in Mary Magdalene Beckons:
There is a veil over your remembering of all the lifetimes you have lived and of all the other realms you have been in between your lifetimes. There is a veil over your remembering of your greater self, which is so much larger than the part of you that you’re aware of in this third-dimensional reality. And there is a veil over your absolute connection to, your absolute inherence in, God. If you could remember all that and know it as your present-time and never-changing reality, you wouldn’t have the idea of death that so many of you have. You would see death as a change of clothes, like a snake shedding its skin. When you die, you’ve outgrown your physical circumstances and you’re ready to move on to something that’s going to serve your next phase of your soul’s journey. You might think of it as being something like getting a new car.
For the ascension process to occur, we must stop fighting death—be it physical or spiritual death. Instead, we allow our relationship to reality to transform. Then we begin to experience what is being born anew, in and through and as us.

5 Ascension Insights Most People Aren’t Talking About: Insight #1
By Mercedes Kirkel
INSIGHT #1: NO ONE KNOWS WHAT’S HAPPENING
I certainly don’t “know” what’s happening. All I have are my experiences and beliefs.
What I trust are actual experiences—my own experiences and the experiences of others.
I hold beliefs much more lightly. I evaluate beliefs to see if they match my experiences and intuition. I see if the beliefs support me in being the kind of person I want to be. If they do, I make space for them as possibilities, perhaps even likely possibilities. If not, I let them go.
But even if I resonate with a belief and choose to keep it in my collection, that still doesn’t mean I “know” that thing to be true. It remains a belief until it’s my actual experience.
I haven’t met anyone in the third dimension who I believe “knows” what this ascension process is all about or where it’s leading. Many of us have ideas, including things we’ve heard from others. But that hasn’t convinced me that those things are facts. They might be possible. They also may not be what is happening or is going to happen.
I think it’s critical to differentiate beliefs from experience. If we’re aware that what we’re thinking is a belief, rather than something that’s been experienced, we tend to be much more balanced in how we hold that idea.
Having that kind of relationship to our own beliefs leads to being aware when others are expressing beliefs—even if those others think the things they’re expressing are “THE truth.” We can see those others as equals with their own beliefs, just like us. Doing so, we can stay in our own power, rather than giving our power away to them (through submission or rebellion).
We can also be respectful of others’ beliefs, even if they don’t match ours. Respect and agreement are two different things.
I believe that kind of balance, awareness, equality, empowerment, and respect are all signs of the ascension process being underway. They’re also some of the inner divine qualities that Mary Magdalene talks about as being bridges to our own divinity.
One way of seeing the ascension process is that we’re shifting from being mind-and knowledge-based to being based in our own divinity, which we connect to through our heart. That inner divinity is something we can experience.
That deeply resonates with me and calls to my soul.

Am I Ascending or Dying?
By Mercedes Kirkel
During last Sunday’s channeling of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, a woman asked a question about healing from sexual abuse. What happened next amazed me. Rather than immediately responding to the content of the question, Mary Magdalene responded with a flood of feeling. She went into a depth of grief I have never experienced before. She began to cry through me, weeping for the pain that this person, and so many others with similar experiences, have gone through. And she expressed her great sadness to the woman, several times.
I know it was Mary weeping and not me because I have always been extremely blocked and unable to cry, except on rare occasions. I know it was her grief, because I was aware of my own response to the question, and I would not have gone into grief. I would have responded on a more mental level, answering with ideas, not feelings.
It’s not that I would have been cold or uncompassionate. I was aware, at least to a certain extent, of the trauma this person had likely been through. I would have responded with sensitivity.
But I wouldn’t have let myself feel their grief, not to my depths. I wouldn’t have opened myself to the full extent of what this person had probably experienced. I don’t live like that. I have guarding to protect myself from feeling pain, especially when it doesn’t seem to involve me.
But I experienced Mary as having a very different response. What I experienced is that Mary doesn’t separate herself like I do. She didn’t separate herself from the person who asked the question. And she didn’t separate herself from the pain.
As I write that, I imagine you asking: “Is that wise? Is that safe? Is that what I’m supposed to be doing?”
I asked myself the same questions.
Is it safe to trust this world enough to open to it fully in feeling? Ultimately, I think that’s deciding whether to trust God. Or as they say in 12-step groups, coming to believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity.
We’ve been living in an “insane” world that has taught us that we can’t allow ourselves to feel everything. It’s not safe. We won’t survive.
Yet I believe Mary is calling us to the exact opposite—she’s inviting us to feel everything. I think she would say that’s the direct path to our sanity, if by sanity we mean well-being in God. And it’s also (not coincidentally) the path to the Feminine.
Every time we hold back from feeling to any extent, we’re holding back from the Feminine. We’re denying the Feminine. We’re saying we don’t want the Feminine, don’t need it, and would be better off without it—thank you very much!
But Mary says differently. And I saw on Sunday that Mary lives what she teaches. She feels completely. 100%. No holding back. Nada.
So those of us who love the Feminine, who long for the Feminine, who are calling for the Feminine… Are we really ready to do this? Because it has to start with us. Otherwise we’ll just be being a wolf in sheep’s clothing—pretending to be the Feminine but still acting out the Masculine-denying-the-Feminine.
And that’s what I saw about myself. I still have a ways to go to stop denying the Feminine, first and foremost in myself. That brings me grief.
Thankfully, there’s more to this story. I got more than just a reflection from Mary of how I’m still shutting down to feeling. I also received an enormous blessing. It’s taken me nearly a week to understand that part. But now the pieces of the puzzle are coming together and I’m starting to see the whole.
After the channeling, I was exceedingly exhausted. I felt perplexed by that because I’m usually enlivened from channeling higher beings. Experiencing their state so directly has the effect of lifting me up into their energy and consciousness.
So I wasn’t expecting to be so exhausted after the webinar. I attributed it to all the work I’d done to create and manifest that event, which had been considerable. I took the rest of the day off, relaxing with friends and going to the ocean. Yet the exhaustion continued throughout the following days, to the point that I started to wonder what was going on. Had I really burned myself out?
I woke up on Thursday in a dramatically different state. I felt like I was halfway out of my body. My physical state seemed strange and unfamiliar, and I found myself struggling to perform ordinary activities. I had the thought that maybe I was dying, even though I didn’t really believe I was physically dying. But that was the closest thing I could relate what I was going through to.
I also had the thought that maybe I was ascending, going into the fourth dimension. That felt very taboo to even consider that, let alone hold it as being what was happening. “Who do I think I am? Jesus?” Yet even Jesus said “All this and more shall you do.” And isn’t ascending what I’m helping people to prepare for through all the work I’m doing? So maybe it was possible that it was actually happening, though I fundamentally doubted that, too.
A few hours passed and I asked a friend to be with me. With her holding me, I was able to let go further into the process. I began sobbing deeply, feeling the pain of the third dimension. At the same time, I was feeling volts of electricity (which I guessed was kundalini) blasting away at my second chakra, the center of my emotions. I felt like Spirit was trying to break through my blocks to feeling that I hold in my energy-body.
At some point the pain of this realm that I was experiencing became personal to me. I felt my own pain of never being able to do enough to relieve the suffering of this realm. And then the storm subsided. I became calm and felt myself surrounded by angels. I felt their peace and joy as my own. And I received the understanding that this is always my state. Peace and joy are continuous, even in the midst of pain arising. It’s like the sun, which is always shining, even when clouds occlude it.
The only thing that cuts me off from peace and joy is if I choose to stop feeling. If I shut down in order to not feel pain, I also stop feeling joy and peace. On the other hand, if I feel the pain, it resolves itself and returns me to what’s prior. Ultimately, that’s God.
Of course, this is exactly what Mary teaches in Mary Magdalene Beckons. And opening to my second chakra was the first practice I was given by Mary in Sublime Union. I was just experiencing myself at a whole new depth—a depth I don’t tend to be aware of. I was being shown my refusal to feel at this depth, and being asked to let go of that refusal.
It really was a death. A part of me has learned to survive by cutting off from feeling at this depth. That part was dying.
Now I feel more sober about the ascension process. I understand that we’re going to have to allow our old ways to die for new ones to come in. That means parts of us dying. Ways of being that we’ve crafted to survive or protect ourselves or feel safe. We’re being asked to let go of those and open to new, higher, more supportive ways.
That takes trust—trust in ourself, trust in life, and ultimately trust in God. Trust is also a very Feminine attribute. It’s part of our inner Feminine, regardless of whether we’re men, women, or whatever.
So the gift I received is to feel and trust. I’m still integrating it. And it is a form of death to my old familiar way of being and surviving.
My belly feels very vulnerable, ready to contract and shut down at every lapse of awareness into the old, familiar pattern of defense. My energy body feels exceedingly sensitized and I’m aware of its high vibration, almost like the vibration of a hummingbird’s wings. My mind feels a bit dazed, yet it’s slowly starting to relax and integrate the new. And my heart feels like it’s beginning to open in a new way.
I’m especially excited about my heart.
I have a feeling of concern about the response this may bring up in all of you. I can imagine you might feel averse to the idea of needing to feel everything, including all the pain. Maybe you’ll decide you don’t like what I’m saying and will leave. That possibility feels both scary and sad to me.
The reality is, I’m still not thrilled about “feeling everything.” I wish there was an easier way. But I don’t think there is.
However, I have one big “ace” on my side. I may still be learning to fully trust God, but I do trust Mary Magdalene. I have the advantage of getting to feel Mary so directly. The same is true of Yeshua. Their state of being is supremely attractive. I have no question about my desire to attain that state myself.
So if feeling is what it takes, I’m willing. I hope you are, too, because I want companionship on this path. I already have some really good spiritual companions in high places. They’re inviting all of us to join them with open arms. And open hearts.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Ark of the Covenant
Image by Arca da Aliança de Deus (3815219934)
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
QUESTION: What insight can you give about the Ark of the Covenant?
MARY MAGDALENE: The Ark of the Covenant is a particular transmission that was both energetic and knowledge. It was given a very long time ago by ancient ones from other places to help the Earth, and the beings of the Earth, over time. It was known that it would be a very long process for Earth beings to be ready and able to make use of this knowledge and energy.
The Ark of the Covenant has been blessing your Earth for a very long time. There is more that is waiting to come through at the optimum time. It is not a given when this will be. It is very possible that it could be in the present, or very near future, because of the changes that so many are undergoing and the transformation that is underway amongst humans.
Many, many people have parts in this unfolding. It is quite vast and all the parts are important.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Sacrum and God
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
QUESTION: What is the significance of the sacrum in connection to God consciousness?
MARY MAGDALENE: The sacrum is where your second chakra is located. The second chakra is the chakra of your energy and energy body. Within the human form, your second chakra is the seat of your connection to energy, sexuality, and emotions. It is where you tend to be centered in your movement toward relationship, even though there is often a very strong component to the heart, as well. But fundamentally, your involvement with relationships is arising out of your second chakra.
Your energy, sexuality, emotions, and relationships are all very significant parts of the Feminine, and of who you are altogether. So your second chakra, or sacral area, is very important.
For many people today, in your modern world, this chakra is closed down. Many, many people have work to do to open this chakra, along with the root chakra, which is the first chakra. Sadly, these two chakras are quite closed down for more people. That does not mean that you are not sexual or emotional. You can be very emotional and very sexual, and still have your second chakra shut down.
So for many people there is very important work to do to open these chakras. This work is not complicated, but for most of you, it will take some intention. This is because having these chakras shut down is such a long-standing pattern. Usually it started when you were very young. Many of you often got messages not to emote, not to be sexual, and perhaps even not to be involved with your body. So re-opening these chakras is very important work for many, many people.
One of the reasons why so many people in your culture have lower back problems is because these chakras are shut down. As a result, you are not receiving energy, light, and food through these chakras.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Heroic Work of Light Workers
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: In the Isis tradition of Egypt, there are several parts of the light body: ka, ba, akh, sahu. Is there anything we need to know about these things at these times?
Mary Magdalene: This was a very advanced tradition, relative to where most of humanity was at in terms of their evolution at that time, and even still today. The Isis tradition in ancient Egypt was involved in moving into, and practicing from, the fourth dimension, to facilitate change and transformation for all beings. This was done by very advanced beings, who moved into the fourth dimension to begin to plant the seeds and prepare the work of ascension for everyone.
Now the work is at a different stage and phase. What is being especially called for now is for those in human form, human incarnation, to start to make this transition themselves in their physical body. So the light body work is not as much the focus now as it was in the past, because a different phase of the process is underway.
The light body information and practice is still available to people today. You will need it and will receive once you are in the fourth dimension. But by and large, it is not the primary focus for most people at this time. For most people, the primary focus is the mass transition you are in the midst of, of moving humanity from the third to the fourth dimension. So the work has shifted in that sense.
There are people who are consciously involved in the process of ascension, which very likely includes everyone here tonight and everyone receiving this message in the future. You are doing the specific work right now of making this transition to the fourth dimension within yourself. But your energy is reaching out to many, many other people. There is a grid of energy transmission that is being formed on the Earth through your body, and through many people’s bodies who you might call “light workers” or “light beings.” These are people who are consciously involved in the ascension process. You are not just doing this for yourself, by any means. You are the forerunners, who, through your own transformation, are also bringing many, many with you.
This is why so many beings are experiencing difficulties or challenges in their life, which some people call ascension symptoms. It is because you are connected to many beings through this light grid. You are helping them through your transformational work.
The process of helping others is not something that you need to consciously know about from your mind. You do not need to do anything different than what you are doing to be affecting others. Your focus needs to be on yourself and your own transformation. Yet I believe it is helpful to know that you are also connected to many others and helping many others through the work you are doing through your own transformation.
So it is a very different kind of work that is underway right now. It is very heroic work. You are carrying many, many beings energetically and working with many beings through your own physical, energetic, emotional, and mental bodies, but especially physical and energetic bodies. It is very valuable.
There are many beings who are working in other ways from the lighter dimensions. But we are very grateful for the work that all those incarnated on Earth are doing at this time. It is an essential aspect of this process.
