The Magdalene Revolution

The Return of the Sacred Feminine and the Birth of Radical Equality

Look inside
In a radically fresh reading of Mary Magdalene’s story, a renowned scholar of mystical traditions sheds new light on the Divine Feminine as a force for change and healing.

For more than 20 years, Andrew Harvey has trained his fine scholar’s eye on sacred texts and mystical truths to illuminate the message of inspired activism that they hold. Today, we need this message more urgently than ever. In The Magdalene Revolution, Andrew takes a fresh, impassioned look at the story of Mary Magdalene and Jesus to distill its meaning for our world and show us how to embody this truth in our own lives.

On this transformative journey, Andrew invites you to:

  • Examine how Mary Magdalene is presented in the New Testament—sometimes splendidly, but also absurdly and even dangerously
  • Explore the truths revealed about her in texts such as the Gospel of Mary and other Gnostic gospels
  • Undertake a radical reclamation of the Divine Feminine by recognizing Mary Magdalene as the bride to Jesus’s bridegroom—a female and co-equal Christ in her own right
  • Experience a new paradigm of fully embodied divine and human love that each of us can live out in our daily lives

“We are in the time of the Second Coming,” Andrew writes. “The old story is dying, and a new story with Mary Magdalene’s and Jesus's love at the radiating center will be born.” In Mary Magdalene's great spirit of healing and transfiguration, this book offers you this new human story—together with sacred practices that will allow you not only to integrate its contents into your life, but to begin your own transformation.
“Andrew Harvey has gorgeously written us into a new and liberatory vision of Mary Magdalene. In doing so he has opened the portals to a nurturing equality, a soul healing, radical transformation, and a luminous arrival of the Divine Feminine when we need it most.”
V (formerly Eve Ensler), author of Reckoning and The Vagina Monologues

“A thoughtful, daring, exciting, well-researched study and personal story that helps move Christianity beyond the patriarchal and dualistic mindset so characteristic of the past 2,000 years. Alfred North Whitehead called for the return of a ‘high hope of adventure’ to religion—and Andrew delivers. His view of Mary Magdalene balances the sacred feminine and sacred masculine, sensuality and spirituality, and empowers for sacred activism. He holds Mary Magdalene up as Christ’s first disciple to truly incorporate the divinization—including resurrection and ascension—that is our right and responsibility as ‘other Christs.’ A truly breakthrough book for a third millennium grasp of the Christ path.”
Matthew Fox, author of The Beloved Will Guide You: John of the Cross and the Triple Dark Night of Our Times, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, and Original Blessing

“The true story of Mary Magdalene is at last being told. Andrew Harvey introduces us to a true female mystic, a wisdom teacher, and a healer of all divisions between body and soul, heart and mind, masculine and feminine. The real story of Mary Magdalene teaches us that Christ Consciousness is accessible to everyone, everywhere, and without exception.”
Robert Holden, author of Shift Happens! and Higher Purpose

“In this stunning new book, mystical revolutionary Andrew Harvey extends a ringing invitation. Not only does he dare to claim that Jesus of Nazareth and Mary of Magdala were co-equal teachers in the way of transformative love, but that their union created a seismic shift in the cosmos that calls upon all of us, people of all genders, to embody the divine balance of masculine and feminine inside ourselves and actively participate in birthing a divinized humanity that will heal, transform and bless this world. As someone who stands outside the Christian tradition, yet deeply drawn to its mystical essence, I welcome this prophetic call with all my heart.”
Mirabai Starr, author of Wild Mercy and Ordinary Mysticism

“Andrew Harvey has written a blazing testament for our time. The Magdalene Revolution unites luminous scholarship and visionary depth with a transmission of love that restores the full radiance of the Divine Feminine to the heart of the Christ path. With poetic fire and the authority of lived revelation, Harvey unveils Mary Magdalene as the co-Christ, calling us to embody the sacred marriage of the feminine and masculine as the seed of a new humanity.”
Banafsheh Sayyad, founder of Dance of Oneness® and author of Dance of Oneness: Awaken, Heal, and Transform Through Embodied Love and Light

“Mary Magdalene is an eternal reminder of a woman’s place in the consciousness of Christ. She was in a very real way who every woman is, pushed aside by those who cannot see her but loved so deeply by He who does. Andrew Harvey spells it out, literally and figuratively. This is a beautiful book.”
Marianne Williamson, New York Times best-selling author of A Return to Love

The Magdalene Revolution is a critical call for us to embody the other half of the divine story, the one that leads us back to the voice within our own hearts– the voice of a love that reminds us of our inherent worth, a love that seeks to guide us, a love that never ends.”
Meggan Watterson, Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Mary Magdalene Revealed
