about

- Eighth in a series of novenas celebrating the first nine dances of the Dancing with Mary Magdalene cycle of dances.

Saying #110: Mary said to her disciples, “Kali Kallah appears black to those who do not know her, yet to those who love her and who draw near she is white brilliance. Her image is as the starry night sky, and the light of the heavens and Supernal Abode are in her. To pass beyond you must enter her embrace, even as the Lord embraced her.”

In combining Mary’s titles with the most holy Name of God, we may open a doorway for a deeper experience of remembrance (Zikr) of both the light and dark aspects of our own being.

Lyrics

Kali, Kali, Kali, (Black or dark bride; dark wisdom of God; Hebrew)
Kallah (Bright bride; the holy bride; Hebrew)
YHVH (sacred Hebrew seed syllables representing the most sacred—and unpronounceable—Name of God in the Kabbalistic tradition, often transliterated as “Yahweh.”)

The Secret Gospel of Mary, compiled by Tau Malachi Eben Ha-Elijah. This 'Gospel of Mary' is composed of selected sayings attributed to St. Mary Magdalene in the oral tradition of Sophian Gnosticism. Today many are seeking knowledge of St. Mary Magdalene, so it seems that the Mother Spirit calls us to let her voice be heard. In honor of the Mother Spirit and Kallah Messiah (the Anointed Bride) we offer these sayings in her name, as a gift given freely to all, and pray they are a blessing and inspiration to all who receive them. (The entire Gospel of Mary can be found at www.sophian.org/secret_gospel_of_mary; and in "St. Mary Magdalene: The Gnostic Tradition of the Holy Bride," ©2006 by Tau Malachi; Llewellyn Publications.
