The Chalice and the Flame: Receiving the Mystical Wine
You are warmly invited into a sacred Shabbat unlike any other,
a night of divine polarity, holy union, and the sweet fire of mystical ecstasy.
We gather within the timeless space of Shabbat to enter the Bridal Chamber of the soul, where the chalice and the flame meet not as opposites, but as lovers.
The chalice is the feminine:
The sacred vessel, the heart, the womb
Shekhinah, Maryam, the indwelling Divine Presence
The flame is the masculine:
The spark of purpose, the divine word, the fire of Yeshua
Active, illuminating, anointing
And when they meet, when the soul becomes receptive to the Spirit,
Sacred Wine is poured: into the heart, into the body,
into the temple within.
This is Shabbat as holy intoxication,
the sweetness that arrives from receiving.
This is a sacred invitation to:
- Activate the inner Bridal Chamber, where the soul receives the Divine in stillness and surrender
- Learn the sacred teachings of polarity — not as opposition, but as a mystical dance of masculine and feminine energies in union
- Embody Maryam Magdalitha as the Living Chalice, and welcome the sacred flame of Christos into the temple of your being
- Receive the Sacred Wine of presence, revelation, and joy — the nourishment that flows when spirit meets form
- Remember that ecstasy is holy, and the soul is designed for union with the Divine
- Restore the balance between doing and receiving, giving and allowing — awakening the Shekhinah within
- Open to divine intoxication, not from the world, but from the breath of the Beloved
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.”

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.
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.

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.
