When we talk about wealth, luxury, abundance — we rarely think about Mary Magdalene. And yet she is the archetype we, as women, often need to work with first, if we are to allow ourselves to experience true spiritual wealth.
Why do Spiritual Women Struggle with Abundance?
Like many of those who choose to work with me now, I was born a sensitive, gifted soul with deep intuition and strong connection to Spirit. Yet most of my life, I kept circling in burnout cycles — giving, healing, holding vision, but unable to stabilize resources.
I could easily call in resources when I needed them most — as if by magic. I have lots of stories of “magical money” appearing in my life. Money that I did not work for or even ask for.
And yet I was resisting the structural element of wealth. Structure is what we need to be able to sustain any project or idea — be it a house, a business, a ministry, or financial wealth. Without solid structure, a building collapses. And structure is what many sensitive souls struggle with, because it means going into our roots.
It is in our roots that old ancestral stories of lack are stored. It is in our roots that we buried our personal stories of disempowerment, sexual objectification, dependency and grief. It is our roots that feed on collective programs of “money is the root of all evil,” “all good things come to the one who waits,” “just have to be nice.”
And we don’t want to feel disempowered, objectified, helpless, poor, miserable. We would much rather float up high!
Stuck in “potential” mode, resentful of the physical plane, quietly ashamed of not “getting it together.”
Inside all of us lives a hidden, resentful, over-sacrificing good girl who is “doing the work” while the world misses her medicine. All the right things, and yet nothing works.
What is the Part that Blocks Us?
Let’s frame it in a different way.
What is your relationship to the part of you that desires beauty, luxury, comfort, wealth? Silk sheets and crystal glasses? Is it holy? Sacred? Extravagant? Egoic?
Are you expecting God to come and help you? The aliens? Your parents? The One true Twin Flame who will finally make you complete?
And what if I told you no one is coming? What is I told you that God, the aliens, your ancestors, the One — needs YOU. That the whole reason for you being on this planet is so that you can build what no one else can build, create what no one else can create.
You are in the body not to ascend out of it. You are in the body to work with the physicality, to live in the sacred duality, to birth creations of wealth and magic into the physical world. You are the one you have been waiting for.
So many spiritual teachings are based on the linear, masculine paradigm of ascension, on the duality of high-low, good-bad, darkness-light, where darkness is automatically discarded, where “low frequency” is bad and evil. But as a woman, you do not create in a linear way. You embody the sacred dance of life and death within your own womb.
And when you forget this sacred power — no wonder you can’t create anything but more lack!
Enter Mary Magdalene
One of the most famous money stories of confrontation between the linear yang ways and the quantum feminine ways, is the story of Magdalene, Judas, and the alabaster jar.
While she remains unnamed in the Christian Bible, introduced simply as a woman who stormed into a dinner in Bethany with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, the context seems to point to Mary Magdalene.
Mary Magdalene, the sister of Lazarus of Bethany who was raised from the dead, has now entered the dinner hall to prepare Jesus for his own death and rebirth.
Like a priestess of the ancient rites of Isis and Osiris, she uncovers her hair — a scandalous act, a sign of questionable morals, but also an age-old ritual of grief — then opens the alabaster jar and starts anointing her teacher’s feet. Completely oblivious to the shock of everyone around.
I want you to imagine this, to embody this, to feel it in your bones. Feet are dirty, hair is scandalous, a woman touching a man’s naked feet with her uncovered hair is… A lot! But that’s not the most important part.
Imagine you buy something outrageously expensive. Like Centauri honey at $17,000 a kilo, or a Clive Christian perfume, or some gold-infused water from the glaciers of Antarctica that only gets harvested once in a hundred years…
One of those outrageous things that only the very rich have access to. That you could feed a whole town for. That you could build a house for, for goodness’ sake.
And you break it open! And you pour it out at your teacher’s feet! The whole $17,000 of it!
And then you just sit there, wiping his feet with your hair. With no concern for the starving children, systemic inequality, women’s rights, or unjust government policies.
The person who hosted the dinner surely had a lot of expenses. The people in the village were probably suffocated with Roman taxes. The children next door were running barefoot because their mother couldn’t afford any footwear. The neighbors across the street were eating once a day because that was all they could afford.
But you, you are just sitting there! Like a grief mistress leading a mourning procession for Osiris, where women would uncover their hair and scream and yell and grieve like wild animals. You begin your initiatory ritual.
You break open your $17,000 jar and pour out its contents at the feet of your teacher and weep.
An initiation of grief, wealth, and luxury. An outpouring of power.
And something that makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to the thinking mind.
The Colliding Worlds of Judas and Magdalene
And now tell me how many parts of you jumped up with Judas Iscariot and yelled, “But excuse meeee!!! You could have fed all the poor in this country for a year with what you have just done!”
If you know the Biblical text, it’s not very supportive of Judas. At all.
It doesn’t say that Jesus came to help the poor, feed the needy or restore social justice, and this unruly woman ruined all of it. No, it says that Judas was so upset because he was driven by greed.
Judas was so upset because the mission of Jesus did not make sense anymore.
You see, Judas believed that Jesus needed to restore social justice and liberty to his people. Fair wages. Kick out the occupiers. Restore the kingdom to its rightful owners. And here comes Mary Magdalene and does — what! Death rites! While the children are starving.
The Bible gives us a gentle wink and says that Judas was extra worried about the poor because he appropriated some of the collective funds for his own needs. That’s where that righteous spirit often roots itself — unwillingness to look in the mirror.
Perhaps, this was the day that tipped the scales for Judas. The day he decided he needed to give Jesus an extra push, by giving him up to the authorities.
Judas would go very far to make Jesus finally proclaim himself the king he was meant to be. To do something real, tangible, important. In his opinion. We all know the rest of the story. It didn’t work the way Judas wanted. It never does.
But Mary Magdalene saw things differently. She lived in quantum reality.
Mary Magdalene Was Not Poor: She Embodied Structure
In all likelihood, Mary Magdalene was part of the group of women who financially supported the ministry of Jesus. Yes, Judas probably took her money out of the box. To add insult to injury.
Mary Magdalene embodied structure and wild feminine power. The gifts that our souls are longing for so much in this day and age.
There was nothing linear about her magic. There was nothing greedy about her wealth. She embodied true codes of abundance, a free-flowing, quantum river of nourishment. She was nourished.
She did not float up in the ethers. She was not “nice” and polished and proper. And yet, there were other times when she was — polished and proper. There were times when she bathed in luxury and when she lived naked in a cave. Because each time calls for a different medicine.
And when she lived naked in a cave, the story says she was just as nourished as when she was pouring out her expensive perfume. The angels themselves brought her food and sustained her. Because her wealth was fully embodied.
What Mary Magdalene taught me about wealth is that we are called to build a different structure to contain it.
The yang, ego-driven structures are collapsing. They will not hold. They break like the alabaster jar, to reveal the priceless fragrance of real power.
They may keep making grand proclamations about good things that we need to do, and people we need to help, and how you need to be a good girl and offer free service to all. But their hands are in the vault that belongs to the feminine.
Wealth is a Feminine Energy
What Mary Magdalene taught me about wealth is that wealth is a feminine energy.
Wealth is a womb space in the caverns of the earth. The minerals we treasure as the most expensive are IN the earth and not above it.
The bank vaults are womb spaces holding sacred gold. Yes, we make it sacred by consensus, and we could just as well trade in dry leaves — and yet we treasure the fruit of the womb of the Earth.
Because wealth, money and luxury is a feminine energy. It is a feminine, quantum, non-linear power.
And it doesn’t matter how long we have been disconnected from it. The Magdalene codes are here for us to receive.
And the Earth needs you. The Earth needs me. Like never before. But we cannot make an impact if we keep resisting structure and roots.
The magical resources are here! But we need to build the structure to be able to contain them. And this structure does not come from the old paradigm of control, hustling, running — nor does it come from being a good girl. It comes from being an embodied Magdalene. The queen of luxury.
When a highly sensitive, spiritually gifted healer roots deeply into their body and Earth, they can literally move mountains. They feel nourished. They become magnetic. They know when to open, and when to contain. Their soul gifts have impact — because they become who they came here to be.
