To my surprise, Mary Magdalene joined me for coffee this morning! As it turns out, the Seattle Art Museum has an exhibition featuring Renaissance and Baroque artwork...and they chose to advertise this exhibit with Giovanni Lanfranco’s painting of Mary Magdalene. ... So, of course, I decided to go visit my friend at the museum. And what a delight! It’s not so common to come across an image of Magdalene from this part of her life: as ascetic who spent the last 30 years of her life praying to Jesus in the hilltop cave of La Sainte Baume, France (then Gaul). As I stared at this painting, I couldn’t help but wonder if the artist had been to her special cave. And I couldn’t help but notice how much I felt at home in this image, knowing I’ve been to that cave. This cave is where the Journey to the Goddess truly began for me, in a land far away from my natal home. ... As I stood there, feet firmly planted in the land where I was born, looking at this painting of Mary Magdalene, I realized that you don’t always need to travel to distant lands to find the goddess. Sometimes she comes to you. And sometimes, in moments of clarity, I remember now what I learned all those years ago at the end of my Magdalene pilgrimage to France: that the Journey to the Goddess is really about a journey to oneself, to discover the depths of “who I am” through the eyes of the goddess. #marymagdalene #lasaintebaume #italianpainters #fleshandblood @seattleartmuseum #seattleartmuseum #pilgrim #pilgrimess #journeytothegoddess #divinefeminine #caffevita (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ViyMeBz05/?igshid=1t0ixou0rgpa2
