The conventional history is that Mary Magdalene died in Ephesus or somewhere in Provence, in the south of France, somewhere between 60 and 80 AD. The Provence tradition is strong enough that her supposed relics still sit in the basilica of Saint Maximin la Sainte Baume to this day.
There is another tradition, much smaller, much older in some lines, and quietly carried in the spiritual underground of Northern California for the last hundred years. It says she did not stop in France. It says she kept going west.
The teaching, attributed to various Native and esoteric sources, places her final years in the redwoods of the Coast Miwok lands, on the eastern slopes of what is now Mount Tamalpais. Some versions say she carried a child. Some versions say she carried a knowledge the early church did not want preserved. All of them agree she walked away from Europe and never came back.
There is no archaeological evidence for this. There is no document signed by Magdalene herself confirming it. What there is, all over Marin County, is local sensitives, channelers, indigenous spiritual practitioners, and even a few clergy who have, independently of each other, described the same feeling about that mountain. They describe a Christed feminine presence on Tamalpais that has its own coordinates and its own name.
If you have ever sat on that mountain at sunset, looking out over the Pacific, you may have felt what they are talking about.
Is it possible the most consequential mystic of the New Testament finished her work not in the south of France, but here in California, and the mountain has been remembering her the whole time?
What do you think about this? On January 20, 1996, three young women in Varginha, Brazil, saw a four foot creature with oily skin and red eyes crouched by a wall. The army was in town that morning. A policeman said to have handled it died a month later. Cover story, or Brazil’s Roswell?
What do you think about this? In 1800 settlers at Conneaut, Ohio, opened a four acre burial ground in rows and reported skeletons over seven feet, jaws that fit over a man’s face, double rows of teeth. The graves were plowed under within a generation. Tall tale, or a people buried twice?
What do you think about this? The Iron Pillar of Delhi is six tons of forged iron from around 400 AD. It has stood outside through 1,600 years of monsoons and never rusted, thanks to a protective film from phosphorus rich iron nobody made again. Lucky recipe, or knowledge lost on purpose?
What do you think about this? North Sea trawlers pull up mammoth teeth, flint tools and a carved harpoon from 120 feet deep. Until 8,000 years ago that seabed was Doggerland, a forested land the size of Britain, drowned by rising seas and a tsunami. The lost land of every old story?
What do you think about this? In 1974 a Florida family found a polished 22 pound steel ball in burned brush. It hummed when a guitar played, rolled across rooms on its own and changed direction. Navy X rays showed objects inside, origin unknown. Valve ball, or something that landed?
What do you think about this? The Whaley House in San Diego was built in 1857 where a man was slowly hanged five years earlier. A baby and a daughter later died inside. Visitors report footsteps in empty rooms and a pressure on the throat where the gallows stood. Old house, or long memory?
