97: Mary Magdalene: The Rose Priestess, the Red Egg, and the Lost Teachings of the Divine Feminine

There is a deeper story of Mary Magdalene—one that has been hidden beneath centuries of distortion, silence, and misunderstanding.

In this episode of The Spiritual Sanctuary, we move beyond the version we were taught and step into the truth of Magdalene as a teacher, healer, and priestess of the Divine Feminine.

This is not just a historical exploration…

This is a remembrance.

Together, we explore her connection to Jesus Christ (Yeshua) through the lens of sacred union, the balance of Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energies, and what that means for your own spiritual path today.

We also journey into her connection to ancient mystery teachings, including the lineage of Isis, and how these initiations shaped her role as a healer and spiritual leader.

And we uncover one of the most fascinating and symbolic stories—the red egg—and its connection to resurrection, rebirth, and what we now know as Easter.

Profile picture for Bertena Varney

Bertena Varney

Bertena is a spiritual teacher, priestess, and intuitive guide who blends ancient wisdom with grounded, modern insight. She is the creator and host of The Spiritual Sanctuary, a podcast devoted to the Wheel of the Year, Divine Feminine wisdom, goddess traditions, ritual, meditation, and soul-aligned living.

With decades of experience as a college educator and a deep background in spiritual studies, Bertena brings a rare combination of academic depth and embodied spiritual practice to her work. Her teachings weave together seasonal spirituality, priestess paths, somatic awareness, tarot and oracle wisdom, and contemplative ritual—always with an emphasis on empowerment, discernment, and personal sovereignty.

Bertena is the founder of the Ancient Arts of the Priestess Academy, where she offers self-paced courses, seasonal lessons, and immersive spiritual education rooted in the cycles of nature rather than hustle culture. Her work is especially supportive for women seeking a slower, more meaningful spiritual path—one grounded in trust, rest, and inner authority.

Through her podcast, courses, and writings, Bertena invites listeners into a sanctuary space where wisdom is remembered, not rushed, and where spiritual growth unfolds in its own time.
