Mary Magdalene: Reclaiming the Divine Feminine
Saturday 12 September 2.30pm - 5pm
A talk and book launch
with Danielle van Dijk
Danielle van Dijk, together with Henk van Oort (her translator), will share insights from her richly illustrated book exploring the hidden legacy of Mary Magdalene across sacred sites in Palestine, France, England, Italy, and Spain. Drawing on Celtic Christianity, the Nag Hammadi discoveries, and the work of Rudolf Steiner, Danielle retraces the footsteps of Mary Magdalene, uncovering veiled layers of Gnosis embedded in Gothic cathedrals, Templar legends, Cathar strongholds, the Black Madonna, and pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela.
Through readings, discussion, and contemplative exercises, attendees will explore the spiritual presence of Mary Magdalene as a teacher, initiator, and equal among the great figures of sacred history. The event will offer a unique opportunity to engage with subtle symbols of the Magdalene encoded in art and architecture, and to experience meditative reflections on love, equality, and the archetypal feminine. Copies of Danielle’s book will be available for sale in the Steiner House bookshop.
Besides some striking examples that prove the metamorphic development of the human soul leading to the present consciousness soul, Henk van Oort will also draw attention to the necessary rehabilitation of the balance between the male and female aspects of the human being. Awareness of this need will support the pursuit of Love as a gift from the Divine, a gift that ‘Project Earth’ cannot do without.
Danielle van Dijk, MA, has spent decades studying esoteric Christianity and the feminine aspect of the divine, bringing scholarly depth and spiritual insight to her writings. Henk van Oort, author and translator of The Inner Rainbow, will also contribute, offering complementary perspectives and discussion.
