This whole series has been phenomenal, but this final post gave me chills. The way you honor Aquila—not by centering him, but by highlighting his support of Priscilla—is exactly the kind of reframing the Church has needed for centuries.
When men follow women in faith instead of fearing their leadership, we glimpse something closer to the actual Kingdom. Priscilla and Aquila weren’t just tentmakers—they were spiritual architects, holding sacred space together. And you're right: it’s no accident her name comes first. Even the ancient scribes couldn’t bury her radiance.
Thank you for saying clearly what many still dance around: the Divine Feminine doesn’t rise instead of men—it rises with the ones who step aside and lift Her voice.
Looking forward to the Magdalene canon series. You’re doing holy work.
I am grateful to you for posting stories about females who were powerful in the early Christian church. I never thought I would be the receiver of an inspired series through my Muse, a Druid Priestess in a life at the time they faded into the mists. I knew nothing about this when the assignment was given. I will mention that Arthur was real, Myrddin (Merlin) was real, but not the way later entertainments portray them, especially the love triangle cuckolded Arthur told my misogynistic Cistercian Monks to create a Courtly Love and Chivalry entertainment for Eleanor of Aquitaine. I'm telling you this now because as Anwen told her story I found a huge difference between the masculine of the Celtic Druids and what happened with (both the Hebrews and Egptians earlier) the Roman Church. One thing that was made clear was they came to the religion as a business and a way to invade again and control through fear. The Romans really stand out in having this nature and the first thing they would do is get rid the of the Divine feminine and demonize the Goddess...she will become a ghost literally and in her holy ghost symbol in the trinity. Men became trained by this church and its attitude toward the feminine. But 'men' in general before the Roman Church in many areas, including the Celtic world, were not the way we see them in the Christian bible. Merlin is the first to tell Anwen what will happen as the Roman Church takes over and what the effect of taking the Divine Feminine out of her place would be, far into the future. This cycle has ended, but the programming lasts. Still, it is time for the women to come forth from their unacknowledged and even demonized images and the Divine Feminine will take her place next to the Divine Masculine. Your posts are helping this happen. Blessings! ✨📖✨
This is all fascinating! I have a major secondary interest in ancient Celtic spirituality, but I'm by no means an expert. I certainly see overlap between ancient Celtic wisdom and the theology of Mary Magdalene. (Some say Mary visited the Priestesses of Avalon in Glastonbury during her life!) Thank you for sharing all this beautiful insight. I agree on all counts!
Thank you for receiving all that! You might be interested in a book about Mother Mary's travels through Wales...The Grail Journey Through Wales by Megan Wingfield. There are also books that reveal energy lines from Jerusalem, through Delphi and on to Ireland. One is called The Twelve Tribe Nations. So much obscured truth coming to light now! If you would like to learn what my Muse revealed, the Revealing the Druid Legacy series is on Amazon. ✨📖✨
Thank you for sharing! Below is a poem to encourage you. https://open.substack.com/pub/poetpastor/p/the-prophets-were-activists?utm_source=app-post-stats-page&r=5gejob&utm_medium=ios
