Black Rose Activation
Participation by donations
Just as the sun sets and invites the sacred tranquillity of the night, we enter the embrace of Shabbat, a time of rest, reflection, Divine Union and rejuvenation. This gathering echoes the traditions of our ancestors, and yet, it carries a unique resonance, mirroring the grace and strength of Mary Magdalene as Queen of Shabbat.#
In this Sacred Gathering we honor the teachings of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, whose profound wisdom flows like a river through the landscape of our spiritual journey. We celebrate the divine feminine and masculine, the dual forces that coalesce within each of us, creating a harmonious balance within and around us.
We honor and acknowledge the Shekhinah, the Divine Presence, who fills our world and hearts with eternal love and compassion. As we recite prayers, chant, drum, dance and rejoice in Community, we recognize the divine in us and among us.
In the spirit of this sacred gathering, let us remember the teachings of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, Shekhinah Adonai, let us remember the divine love that flows through all creation, connecting us in this vast, sacred tapestry of existence.
We are not just observers of this divine play, we are active participants. Each of us is a sacred vessel, carrying the divine spark within us. Let this Shabbat be a testament to our shared commitment to nurture this spark, to live in the light of the divine, and to carry this light into our everyday lives.
In the holy names of Maryam and Yeshua, in the sacred spirit of Shabbat, let us welcome one another in peace, love, and unity. Shalom – Shlama, and welcome to the Magdalene Shabbat.
April 18th – Good Friday
On this holy night, we enter the deepest mystery:
We descend.
We wait.
We become.
The Black Rose is not an absence of life, She is the presence of the Great Unknown.
It is the rose that blooms in the silence of the tomb, in the depth of the cave, in the holy stillness of Good Friday, when the world holds its breath and the veil is torn.
This Magdalene Shabbat is a sacred container to receive the Black Rose Activation, a mystical transmission that opens the womb of your soul to the power of holy surrender, presence, and rebirth through the womb.
We enter the Shabbat of the Tomb, the sacred pause between crucifixion and resurrection. This is not a Shabbat of revelation.
What is the Black Rose?
The Black Rose is a symbol of:
- Sacred Death and the surrender of the egoic self
- Chochmah (Divine Feminine Gnosis) held in the dark womb of Shekhinah
- Magdalene’s Grief as Portal, not as despair, but as devotion
Yeshua´s Decent - The Void before Creation, the Sacred Pause, the Hidden Temple
On Good Friday, as the world remembers the death of Yeshua, we gather not to mourn, but to awaken.
We remember that Magdalene never turned away.
She witnessed the Cross.
She anointed His body.
She kept vigil through the silence.
And in her witnessing, she became the Womb of Resurrection.
I sat at the foot of the silence. I became the voice of all who could not speak. And in the ache, I felt Him rise, not in body, but in Light.
And I knew: the tomb was not the end. It was the womb of a new world.”
In this Black Rose Activation, you will:
- Enter into the sacred stillness of Magdalene’s Shabbat
- Receive the Black Rose Transmission through guided prayer, silence, and sound
- Chant an Ancient Aramaic Prayer
- Be anointed in the unseen, as a vessel of the Holy Presence
- Commune with the Magdalene through the frame drum, holy silence, and sacred scripture
- Awaken the memory of Shekhinah within your body, especially in her dark, hidden, radiant form
These Shabbats are powerful Gatherings and the small donation that is asked for goes towards the Children we are sponsoring in India with their food, clothing and education. At The Desert Rose Mystery School we are so grateful for your generosity.
This holy feast of bread and wine, Divine Union and Remembrance, I have called the Magdalene Shabbat. It was also known as the Wedding Feast, as Yeshua called this experience, as the bread symbolizes our Incarnational Experience in the manifest world, and the wine symbolizes the Royal Bloodline of Spirit and our true Sovereignty.
The word Shabbat derives in it´s Babylonian origin to mean the 15th Day of the Moon. This day was seen as a Day of receiving Blessings and if we think of the number 6, 1 and 5, 6 represents the HAND OF GOD , which is known in Mysticism as the hand of the Divine Feminine Presence: Shekhinah. A derivation of this word also means 7 in Akkadian (Babylonian), so with time people started celebrating the Shabbat on the 7th day of the week, which in many cultures meant on the Friday. The Greek Hebrew Christians changed it to Saturday and the Romans to Sunday. Shabbat is a very ancient word that also means Womb and Moon.
Yeshua enshrined this essential holy feast of bread and wine at the very heart of devotion and worship as a form of Light Transmission.
as this is the day of the week that is the most powerful to open up and receive our beloved Shekhinah. Shabbats are celebrated on Fridays as this is also the only day of the week that corresponds to the Right Column in Ancient Kabbalistic Teachings. What this actually means is that this is the only day that we emulate the Light of Alaha and we can take this light to the week ahead of us.
This holy feast is our innate unity with Shekhinah, the Divine Feminine Presence, our innate unity with ALAHA, the Divine Mother Father, and our innate unity with our Soul. We celebrate the unity of Duality and as we invoke the Divine Feminine Presence to come into our lives and our bodies, we allow the Feminine Principle to heal all separation. The transmission received is the remembrance of our UNITY. This is why it was also called the Wedding Feast. When we read the Gospel of Philip, we come to understand the importance of the Bridal Chamber and Divine Union. In the Magdalene Shabbat, these teachings are experienced, they become the Gnosis by which the great Mystery Teachings become revealed to us.
I have named this Holy Feast Magdalene Shabbat so as to honor Mary Magdalene as beloved of Yeshua and Co-Teacher, embodiment of the Fullness of Light just as her beloved. The Magdalene Shabbat carries the Light transmission of Holy Man and Holy Woman as the Oneness of Light. Shabbat is a practice within the ancient Tradition, Initiations and Desert Rose Teachings of the Mantle of the Bride.
The Magdalene Shabbat is not limited to dogmatic liturgies or prescribed rites and rituals; however, it honors the Hebrew-Christian mystical teachings of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene. The Magdalene Shabbat is rooted in mystical ways of devotion: invocation, prayer, meditation, bodily practices, and sacred ceremony.
As Mary Magdalene is the Queen of Shabbat in this Age of the Holy Spirit, we honor her as the embodiment of the Shekhinah.
Come join us in this sacred space, where the voice becomes a portal to divine creation. Come ready to receive, to be nourished, and to awaken to the sacred within.
As in all Shabbats, we will experience Sacred Embodiment and Chant and Pray in Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew.
Join me in the Sacred Circle and through this ancient Ritual and Prayer, we will experience a transformation as we access the light that our soul is destined to embody.
What to Prepare
- A Prayer Shawl or Head Covering if you would like to contain the Sacred Energy within you.
- A chalice-bowl of lunar water (kept under the moon for one night) - bread and fruit juice /wine/rose water/pomegranate juice
- 2 candles
- Incense, palo Santo or smudging herbs (sage, juniper, etc)
- If you have a drum, please bring it, as it is a great opportunity to drum along with me (you don´t need to have one).
There is a small donation asked for to be part of Shabbat, as these donations go towards sponsoring children in India with food, education and clothes.
The Shabbat is online, April 18th, at 15,00 CET.
Shabbats are for Women and Men who sacredly desire to commune with the Holy Spirit – the Divine Feminine Presence through Kallah Meshikha Mary Magdalene and Yeshua Mashikha.
intended to be experienced on Shabbat Day.
When we serve others we are we are actually serving ourselves. Every act, every word, and every gesture of genuine compassion nourishes our own hearts as well as the hearts of others. This is an authentic place of Healing and as we heal through serving, we remember that we are here on this Planet to be, grow, love, awaken and help each other.
