Magdalene Ministry: The Fountain of the New Dawn
Mary Magdalene
The Fountain of the New Dawn

Mary Magdalene is the Divine Fountain from which the Christ essence drinks deeply. She is the embodiment of the Light that births enlightenment, the sacred vessel through which the Divine pours wisdom into the world. As the Holy Woman who anoints, she sanctifies our path, illuminating the way to redemption and to the remembrance of our true divine nature.

She is the Feminine Christ, the reflection of our paradisiacal origin, embodying within herself the sacred union of the Divine Masculine and Feminine. Whereas Christ Consciousness is the eternal seed of light, Magdalene Consciousness embodies and anchors that light into human experience, rooting it into the body, the earth, and creation itself. She is the New Dawn, the awakening of the New Earth, calling us to embody the divine template of Jerusalem above.

Her Chrism, the sacred anointing oil, is an elixir of divine love, awakening humanity’s dormant consciousness. Through her essence, we are invited to rise from the slumber of forgetfulness and remember our divine heritage. She carries the Cosmic Womb of the Christos, birthing light into darkness. In reclaiming her presence, we touch the Primordial Wisdom that transcends time, an eternal wisdom inscribed within our soul.

Mary Magdalene guides not only the healing of individual souls but also the restoration of collective consciousness. She calls us to embrace our shadows and shine light upon them, for within the darkness lies our greatest potential. The shadows we deny are the very places where our deepest magic waits to be revealed. In her presence, we discover that we, too, are holy vessels of creation, capable of embodying Christ energy and weaving it into the fabric of our lives.

Through the Magdalene Teachings, we learn to embody the Christos, to embrace our divinity, and to step fully into the radiance of our soul’s mission. She awakens within us the Tree of Life Template, reminding us of our origin and our destination, guiding us to transform what is hidden into living wisdom.

As sacred counterpart and co-teacher with Yeshua, Mary Magdalene revealed the path of Sacred Humanity. She taught that we are the living Temple, where divine and human merge into one. Our bodies are not obstacles but sacred vessels designed to receive and hold the Holy Spirit, the creative breath of life itself.

In the mystery of the Bridal Chamber, she leads us into the alchemical union of soul and Spirit, where we are Christed: reborn into the fullness of our divine essence. Here, we return to Oneness, remembering our roots in the Mother of Creation.

Mary Magdalene is the doorway to the rebirth of humanity’s soul. She opens the womb of Spirit within us, awakening the Magdalene essence, the sacred feminine that has long been hidden, now ready to rise. In her, we receive the Holy Spirit, the living flame at the base of the universe, where Divine Mother and Divine Father unite as one.

Her presence invites us to return to our original state of divine union, to remember that we are not separate from heaven or earth but part of the eternal dance of creation.

This is the path of the Priestess and Priest of Mary Magdalene: to awaken to this remembrance, to embody the Christ-Magdalene current, and to serve as custodians of the New Earth, living vessels of divine light and love.
Teachings
of the Desert Rose

 

Welcome to the Mary Magdalene Priestess and Priest Training for 2026.

In 2011 I had my first Visitation from Mary Magdalene. It is from this encounter, and the decades of devotion and study of Aramaic, Hebrew Mysticism, Gnostic Christianity, Essene Mysticism, Sound Mysteries, and from teaching the Magdaleme Christ Transmissions, that I faculitate this training. My work is not simply about Mary Magdalene, but about remembering the sacred currents she carried, and awakening them again in our time.

It is with deep joy and reverence that I embrace this sacred journey with you. I have been teaching and guiding this training since 2012, and each year the Mystery reveals a new layer of depth, beauty, and transformation.
2026 marks the unveiling of a completely renewed and upgraded curriculum. This year we will enter the Magdalene–Christos Teachings through Pathways—living streams of wisdom and practice that open the heart, align the soul, and anchor divine consciousness into our daily lives.

A Pathway is more than a module or theme, it is a sacred initiation, a journey of remembrance. Each Pathway offers keys into the mysteries of Mary Magdalene and Yeshua, interweaving Sophianic Kabbalah, Gnostic revelation, biblical mysticism, Sacred Language, and embodied prayer practices. Together, these streams form a spiral map that leads us into deeper union with the Christ Light and the Magdalene Consciousness that births the New Earth.

13 Pathways
of the Desert Rose

 

This one-year online journey is both a personal initiation and a collective service. It asks of you devotion and commitment, not only for your own soul’s evolution, but also for the healing of humanity and the remembrance of the Divine Feminine and Masculine in balance.

Below, you will find the curriculum, lovingly crafted to guide you step by step through this transformative pilgrimage of the soul. Each Pathway is designed to awaken your inner temple, align you with your priestly calling, and prepare you to embody the teachings of the Magdalene Lineage in your own unique way.

The Shabbat Pathway

 

Sod Ha-Magdalena: The Magdalene Shabbat

Mary Magdalene, as a jewish mystic, honored Shabbat as the most sacred ceremony of the week. In the Sod Ha-Magdalena, the secret teachings of her lineage, Shabbat is not only a day of rest but the great portal where heaven and earth meet, where Shekhinah descends to embrace creation. Through this sacred rhythm, Magdalene embodied the mystery of union, devotion, and the remembrance of the soul’s covenant with the Divine.

In our journey, we will embody Mary Magdalene’s consciousness within the Magdalene Shabbat rituals, infusing them with mystical presence and depth.

 

Sacred Ancestral Shabbat Teachings


We will learn the ancient rituals of Shabbat, enriched with mystical interpretations and practices, uncovering how they become portals of transformation.

 

Mary Magdalene’s Sacred and Secret Teachings


We will also delve into the lesser-known mystical teachings of Mary Magdalene, her secret wisdom that illuminates the true meaning of Shabbat. Here we discover how her ministry deepens the Shabbat experience, not as repetition of tradition, but as a living encounter with the Shekhinah, the indwelling Divine Presence. We will also receive Mary Magdalene as the Rose of Pre-Creation: the 13 Petalled Rose.

 

Through Sod Ha-Magdalena, Shabbat is once again the Mystical Bridal Chamber, the sanctuary where the soul remembers, rests, and unites with the Beloved. You as a Priestess and Priest of the Magdalene will learn and embody Magdalene Shabbat so you may facilitate Ceremony  in the name of the Magdalene and Yeshua.
The Living Word Pathway

 

Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew, Gnostic and Canonical Gospels, the Zohar and the Book of Creation


In this Pathway we enter the sacred study of Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew, guided by the living letters themselves and the wisdom of the Gospels, the Gnostic and Canonical writings, the Zohar, and the Book of Creation.

Aramaic, known as a “Light Language,” is not only an ancient tongue but a creative frequency of the universe.

 

Each Aramaic–Hebrew letter is a living being, a vessel of divine power. To chant, embody, or meditate upon these letters is to awaken the primordial energies of creation and activate the light codes within our own being. Through them, the Divine breathes life into form.

Aramaic was the language spoken by Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, and the language through which the first Christ Community shared their teachings. To read Scripture in its original Aramaic is to uncover hidden layers of spiritual insight carried by the Christ Lineage.

Prayer and chanting in this sacred tongue, alongside Biblical Hebrew, open pathways to the codes of creation and gifted blessings beyond imagination. Aramaic is a pathway of remembrance, guiding us home to the primordial Light, where we awaken as co-creators in the Divine unfolding of the universe.

The Alaha Shela Pathway

 

Living in Alignment with the Aramaic–Hebrew Calendar

The Alaha Shela Ceremonies are unique to The Desert Rose Mystery School, and training in them can only be found within our community. Through these ceremonies, we align ourselves with the divine rhythm of the Months of the Year, the Lunar cycles, and the creation energy infused in the Days of the Week.

By living in harmony with the Aramaic–Hebrew calendar, and guided by the wisdom of Biblical and Zoharic teachings, we enter into the cycles of Creation itself.

 

Each portal of sacred time becomes a living invitation to receive blessings, renewal, and revelation. These same portals were honored by Yeshua, Mary Magdalene, and the great Desert Ancestors, who understood that time is not linear but a spiral of remembrance and awakening. In each of the Portals we receive an Ahava Sacred Dance ( a prayer dance) as an offering and embodiment of the portal´s frequency.

Through the Alaha Shela Pathway, we learn to walk in tune with holy time, so that our lives mirror the divine order of Creation and we embody the blessings carried within each sacred cycle.

The Womb Mysteries Pathway

 

The Mysteries of Creation, Birth, and Death

In 2012, after many visitations from Mary Magdalene, Ana Otero received a transmission she came to know as the Magdalene 6 Wombs. This was not only a vision but an initiation into the living Mysteries of Creation. Following this experience, she devoted three years to deep study of the mystical paths of the Womb, and in 2016, she began sharing this sacred wisdom.

The Magdalene Womb Path is for both women and men, for the Womb is not only physical — it is a multi-dimensional temple within the body and soul.

 

The Magdalene 6 Wombs reveal the stages and dimensions of creation:
The Physical Womb
 
the sanctuary of life, holding the power of birth and regeneration.
The Energetic Womb
 
the field of creative vibration, where intention takes form.
The Serpent Womb of the Holy Flame
 
where the polarities of masculine and feminine merge into Oneness.
The Womb of Divine Union
 
the awakening of sacred fire, rising as the kundalini of creation.
The Dragon Womb
 
fierce protection and transformation, the alchemical fire of death and rebirth.
The Cosmic Womb
 
the gateway of eternity, where the soul remembers its origin in the Infinite.

These wombs are intimately connected to the Tree of Life, reflecting the sefirot as dimensions of creation, flow, and return. In Biblical and Kabbalistic tradition, the womb is Malchut — the vessel that receives and brings forth. In Gnostic texts, the womb is Sophia’s hidden treasury, the place where divine wisdom is gestated before it is revealed. And in the Gospel traditions, Mary Magdalene herself becomes the living womb of revelation, holding within her body and spirit the mysteries of new creation.

The Womb Mysteries remind us that every beginning requires a descent, every creation arises from hiddenness, and every birth is a doorway through death into new life. To walk this Pathway is to reclaim the most ancient knowledge of the soul: that we are each a womb of light, called to create, transform, and return to the Source.

You will experience, embody and learn how to facilitate the Magdalene Womb Rites and Magdalene Desert Rose Womb Transmissions. The Womb Mysteries have been completely upgraded for the 2026 Cohort.

The Sacred Healing Pathway

 

The Myrraphore Tradition and Magdalene Healing Arts

This Pathway incorporates the ancient practice of healing with Biblical Oils, rooted in the Myrraphore Tradition. Drawing from Ana Otero’s deep study of Essene Healing, together with years of embodied experience with sacred anointing, this path restores the forgotten art of oil as medicine for body, soul, and spirit.

This Pathway also brings us into the embrace of the Black Madonna, the hidden face of Shekhinah who dwells in the depths, teaching us resilience, compassion, and the sacred wisdom of the womb.

 

You will be initiated into the living art and practice of facilitating Biblical Myrrh-Bearer (Myrrhaphore) Ceremonies​:  the sacred lineage of anointing that stretches from the Hebrew prophets​ and High Priests to Mary Magdalene and the early disciples of Yeshua. In this pathway you will not only learn the mystical teachings, anointing transmissions, and activations of the Biblical Oils, but also their hidden correspondences to the Tree of Life, the Hebrew-Aramaic sound codes, and the priestly mysteries of fragrance and offering.

These oils​ are vessels of consciousness that hold ancient memory and light. As you engage with them, you are entering into a dialogue with the Magdalena Shekhinah — the indwelling presence of the Divine Feminine in creation. This sacred path invites you to embody Her presence, so that every anointing you offer becomes a transmission of healing, remembrance, and initiation for those you serve.

Alongside this, you will be guided in how to facilitate the Aramaic Magdalene Rosary Prayer Circle, a living prayer technology that weaves together Aramaic sound codes, Black Madonna transmissions, the 50 Mysteries of the ​Magdalene Rosary, and Magdalene devotion. In this circle you will learn how to open a field of collective grace — where sound, rhythm, and devotion merge to awaken remembrance, healing, and unity.

The Devotional Pathway

 

Cultivating devotion, faith, and heart-centered living

The Devotional Pathway is the living flame of love at the heart of the Magdalene tradition. Here we enter into the sacred practice of the Aramaic Magdalene Rosary, a prayer of vibration and remembrance that awakens the soul’s intimacy with the Divine. Through learning the Rosary in Aramaic and embodying its 52 Mysteries, we are invited to surrender the mind into the heart, where prayer becomes breath and devotion becomes a way of life.

You will learn Biblical healing ceremonies, sacred anointing rites, and the preparation of special Mikvehs (ritual baths) infused with oils, herbs, and prayer.

 

These practices were central to the Essenes and to the Magdalene lineage, where healing was never separate from holiness.

In this pathway, oil becomes the living vessel of Divine Presence. Through anointing, prayer, and embodied ritual, we rediscover the wisdom of the Myrraphores, those who carried and transmitted the sacred art of healing through oil, blessing, and touch.

This Pathway invites you into the mysteries of sacred medicine, where healing is not only the mending of what is broken, but the revelation of the Light that has always been whole within you.

The New Earth Pathway

 

The New Jerusalem Template and the Awakening of the New Earth

The New Earth Pathway calls us to embody the New Jerusalem as a dimension of consciousness, the radiant union of heaven and earth within us. In this Mystery, we come to see that Christ Consciousness is the infinite seed of Light, while Magdalene Consciousness is the sacred ground where this Light takes root in our human experience and in the Earth itself.

Mary Magdalene, the New Dawn, teaches us how to anchor this union, becoming custodians and midwives of a new creation.

 

Jerusalem, in its mystical essence, is the Divine Union Template, the City of Light where spirit and matter are reconciled, where Shekhinah dwells in fullness with the Holy One.

Through the Magdalene Merkaba Meditations, you will learn to activate the inner chariot of light, aligning your body and soul with the architecture of the New Jerusalem. These teachings prepare us to live as active participants in the A

Awakening of the New Earth, rooted in devotion, guided by divine wisdom, and radiant with the light of resurrection.
This Pathway is an invitation to walk as living temples of the New Earth, embodying love, wholeness, and unity for generations to come.

The Mystical Pathway


 

Wisdom of the Tree of Life and Kabbalah

The Mystical Pathway opens us to the wisdom of Sophianic Kabbalah, where the Tree of Life becomes not only a diagram of the cosmos but a living temple within us. Through this Pathway, we learn to see the Gospel of Mary Magdalene as a hidden Gnostic and Kabbalistic text, carrying within it the language of the sefirot—the luminous vessels of creation that reveal the mysteries of descent, purification, and return.

Each sefirah is a doorway into divine consciousness, a facet of the soul’s journey, and in Magdalene’s teachings, we uncover how she herself moved through these dimensions, embodying Malchut as Shekhinah and ascending toward the crown of divine union (Keter), and how the Demons were transformed into powers.

 

The Mystical Pathway calls us to reclaim our soul’s original architecture, to harmonize the fragmented parts of self, and to awaken to the infinite wisdom that has always lived within us. It is here that Mary Magdalene’s voice joins the ancient Mystics, inviting us to become branches of the Tree of Life, rooted in the earth yet reaching into the eternal Light.

The Bridal Chamber Pathway


 

Teachings and Practices of Divine Union

The mystery of divine marriage.

The Bridal Chamber Pathway invites us into the deepest mysteries of union—within ourselves, with one another, and with the Divine. Rooted in both Gnostic and Kabbalistic wisdom, this Pathway unveils the sacred mystery of the Hieros Gamos—the holy marriage of spirit and matter, heaven and earth, masculine and feminine.

In the Gospel of Philip, the Bridal Chamber is revealed as the highest of the sacraments, the place where separation is dissolved and the soul is restored to its wholeness.

 

Through the Magdalene–Christos Ceremonies, we enter each of the five sacraments—Baptism, Chrism, Eucharist, Redemption, and the Bridal Chamber—as living initiations of consciousness.

Here, Mary Magdalene and Yeshua stand as the Beloveds, showing us that divine love is not abstract, but embodied, woven into our breath, our relationships, our devotion, and our union with the Holy Spirit.

The Bridal Chamber Pathway is thus both mystical and practical: it heals the inner schism of duality, aligns us with the eternal covenant of love, and awakens us to the truth that we ourselves are the sacred vessel of divine union.

The Sound Temple Pathway


 

Prayer, Chant, and Sacred Sound Practices

The Sound Temple Pathway awakens us to the primordial truth that all creation begins in sound. The universe was spoken, sung, and breathed into being, and through sacred vibration we return to this original act of creation.

In this Pathway, we learn to pray and chant in Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew, the holy languages that carry within them living frequencies of light.

 

Each word is a vessel of power, a key that unlocks divine remembrance. Ana Otero has recorded many of these Aramaic and Biblical Prayers and many are accompanied by Celestial Movement Meditations.

The Frame Drum, one of the most ancient biblical instruments, becomes our companion in this journey. The drum itself is a symbol of Shekhinah, the indwelling Presence, the Breath of the Holy Spirit. Its circular form mirrors the cycles of time, its rhythm echoes the heartbeat of the Earth, and its pulse aligns us with the divine heartbeat of creation.
Ana Otero brings is a unique experience of Aramaic Shamanic Drumming, infused with the Creation frquencies of the Aramaic and Hebrew Letters.

Through drumming, chanting, and ecstatic prayer, we enter the current of the Christ Community and the Desert Mystics, who prayed with sound that lifted body, soul, and spirit into union with the Divine.

Here, sound becomes prayer, rhythm becomes revelation, and chant becomes communion. In the Sound Temple we remember that our voice is a sacred instrument, and when offered in devotion, it can heal, awaken, and weave us back into the eternal harmony of creation.

The Pathway of Creation


 

Living a life as an expanded expression of the soul — Creation Codes

The Pathway of Creation invites us to live as vessels of divine artistry, fully embodying the light and wisdom inscribed in our Book of Life. Each soul carries unique creation codes, imprints of divine potential, waiting to be awakened and expressed.

Through this Pathway, we learn how to attune ourselves to the higher dimensions of our soul, aligning our desires with the infinite light of Source.

 

Here, manifestation is no longer about ego-driven wants, but about allowing the soul’s deepest intention to unfold through us as creativity, service, beauty, and love.

The spiral teaches us that creation is not linear—it is ever-expanding, circling upward into higher expressions of who we are becoming. As we expand, we embody more of our divine essence, stepping into new levels of responsibility, wisdom, and joy.

In this Pathway, we practice the activation of creation codes to awaken the soul’s creative current. We learn to become conscious co-creators with the Divine, bringing forth visions, projects, relationships, and works of art that are aligned with the highest good.

Ultimately, the Pathway of Creation is about living life as a sacred offering—becoming the expanded expression of our soul’s purpose, radiating the light of Shekhinah into the world.

The Pathway of Revelation


 

Opening to Prophecy, Vision, and Divine Transmission

This pathway is the flowering of the Magdalene tradition as a living, prophetic current. Here we learn how to open to direct revelation through dream, vision, and prophecy, listening to the whispers of the Ruach HaKodesh and the voice of Shekhinah. We cultivate the capacity to receive divine transmission — whether through scripture, oracle, sacred art, or mystical encounter.

Through practices of contemplation, sacred writing, and embodied visioning, we awaken the seer within.

 

The inner Magdalene who receives the hidden gnosis and births it into the world. This pathway honors the mystic, the prophetess, and the oracle, reminding us that revelation is not of the past but a living stream that flows when we open to it with humility, devotion, and courage.

The Ordination Pathway


 

Stepping into your calling as a Magdalene Priestess or Priest

The Ordination Pathway is the culmination of the Magdalene journey, where devotion ripens into responsibility, and inner transformation blossoms into sacred service. Here, you are called to step fully into your priestly nature, walking as a living vessel of the Magdalene–Christos mysteries.

Ordination is not merely a title, it is a covenant, a holy vow, to live in alignment with the Divine and to serve as a custodian of the Light.

 

In this Pathway, you are initiated into the priestly lineage of Mary Magdalene and Yeshua, a stream that has carried the living flame of Shekhinah through centuries of exile, silence, and hidden remembrance.

To be ordained in the Magdalene lineage is to walk as a keeper of the Rose, rooted in humility, radiant with love, and steadfast in service. It is to live your life as a sacrament, embodying devotion, wisdom, and compassion in every breath.

“This training has been the most profound spiritual journey of my life. I entered seeking connection with Mary Magdalene, and I left feeling as if I was walking beside her each day. The practices, rituals, and teachings awakened parts of my soul I didn’t even know were waiting to be remembered. I now feel rooted in my priestess path with clarity, devotion, and confidence. Ana holds the container with so much wisdom and love that transformation happens naturally. I am forever grateful.”

Anna Hoffman, USA

“For years I carried a longing to embody the Divine Feminine, but I didn’t know how to bring this into my daily life. The Magdalene Priestess and Priest Training opened the doorway for me. Through the Kabbalistic and Gnostic teachings, the Aramaic prayers, and the embodied practices, I discovered a living presence of Mary Magdalene within me. This training gave me the tools to serve, to heal, and to live in greater devotion. It has truly been a rebirth.

Clara Sánchez, Spain

“What makes this training so special is that it’s not just study — it’s initiation. Every module felt like stepping deeper into the mystery, and every practice anchored that mystery into my body and heart. I experienced healing of old wounds, a renewal of my relationship with Spirit, and a sense of belonging in the Magdalene lineage. The community of brothers and sisters that formed through this journey continues to be a source of strength and love. I recommend this training to anyone who feels the call of Magdalene.”

Debbie Bennet, UK
