Something About Marys
Hosted by Carrie Malone Schulze and Sandi Rufo · EN
The Magdalene Rising Collective invites you to explore the transformative wisdom of the Bible’s Marys like never before. Through thought-provoking conversations, we aim to uncover the alternative spirit and narratives of Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, and their connection to the Divine Feminine.
This podcast is more than a study of religious texts—it’s a celebration of the profound influence these Marys have had on theology, spirituality, art, and personal transformation. Together, we’ll dive into stories that expand beyond traditional teachings, shedding light on the roles of these women as visionaries, leaders, and symbols of feminine power.
The Magdalene Rising Collective is a devoted group of four women from Canada and the US, united by a shared passion for spiritual growth, women’s empowerment, and the profound teachings of the Magdalenes.
To us, Magdalene is not just a name—it’s a sacred title and a lineage of divine feminine wisdom. Rooted in the Hebrew word migdal, meaning “tower” or “watchtower,” Magdalene represents strength, vision, and the sacred responsibility to hold space for transformation.
It is a path of empowerment, healing, and alignment with the divine, calling women to reclaim their voice, honor their truth, and embody their sacred connection.
At Magdalene Rising Collective, we believe that every woman carries the essence of Magdalene within her. This essence calls her to rise into her fullest potential, to walk the path of self-awareness, and to embody her divine feminine wisdom. Together, as a collective, we honor this sacred title, co-creating lives of authenticity, empowerment, and purpose.
We invite every woman to walk this path of the Magdalene in her own unique way—to reclaim her inner tower of strength, align with her truth, and embody her sacred wholeness.

A Hot Take on Mary Magdalene - Following the Blue Thread?!
Apr 2601:17:37Tap to summarizeWhat if Mary Magdalene wasn’t who you were told she was? What if the stories we inherited about Jesus, Mary, and the early church only reveal part of the truth?Something About Marys is a podcast by the Magdalene Rising Collective where we explore Mary Magdalene, the Divine Feminine, Christian mysticism, and spiritual awakening through real conversation, lived experience, and intuitive knowing.This is not a sermon. This is not theology as usual. This is circle.In each episode, we question, explore, and uncover deeper layers of truth about Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, Yeshua, and the hidden teachings that were removed, rewritten, or forgotten. In this episode, we explore: • The hidden story of Mary Magdalene and archangel Michael • The idea of the “sacred union” and the divine feminine within spiritual traditions • Direct experiences with Mary, angels, and intuitive knowing • The concept of awakening, gnosis, and remembering your own divinity • How spiritual truth is discovered through lived experience, not just doctrineThis episode features a powerful conversation with Claudia Pellegrino, author of The Sangral Trilogy sharing her mystical journey, encounters with Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, and the path that led her to uncover what she believes to be hidden truths about the sacred feminine and human transformation 🌿 This podcast is for you if you’re drawn to: Mary Magdalene The Divine Feminine Christian mysticism Gnostic teachings Spiritual awakening Intuition and inner knowing Sacred union and feminine powerShare your experience in the comments or on skool🔔 Don’t forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications for more conversations on Mary Magdalene, feminine spirituality, and awakeningWant to go deeper?

Transcribe →The Magdalene Riff Series - Mary Magdalene and the Resurrection: Was It About Awakening, Not a Body?
Apr 500:57:08Tap to summarizeWhat if the resurrection wasn't only about a body rising from the dead — but about a consciousness waking up?In this first episode of Something About Marys, co-founders Sandi, Carrie, and Linda gather in circle to explore the resurrection story through a lens you've probably never heard from a pulpit. We pull the threads on Mary Magdalene as the first witness, the silencing of women's voices in the original accounts, and what resurrection might actually mean as a living process happening within us right now.This is not a lecture. It's a living conversation — the kind that happens when women who've spent years studying these teachings come together and actually think out loud together.In this episode we explore:- Why Mary Magdalene didn't recognize Jesus at the tomb and what that moment really reveals- The four resurrection accounts and why they contradict each other in one striking way- How the Gospel of Mary describes the soul rising past the seven powers — and why that maps to awakening, not just theology- Why women were the first witnesses and were still doubted — and how that pattern is finally breaking- The feminine resurrection happening right now and why so many women are receiving the same downloads at the same time✨ Circle Questions from this episode:1. If resurrection represents transformation, have you ever experienced a moment where something in your life had to "die" so something truer could emerge?2. Mary Magdalene is the first to recognize the risen Christ. What might that say about intuition, perception, and the feminine voice?We'd love to hear your answers.
