13 week (Samhain to Imbolc) Magdalene Myrrophore Mysteries online course

A 13 week journey into the myrrophore oil bearer mysteries as carried by Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene and her sister Martha.

The course is hosted by Donna, an Avalon Rose Priestess, womb shaman and a certified aromatherapist.

This course weaves together Donna’s aromatherapy qualification and all the subsequent deep dives with her wonderful teachers Angie Twydall, Annabel Du Boulay and Anaiya Sophia, just to name a few, into the Rose and Myrrophore lineages, and brings you a beautiful journey into the sacred oils and their lineage carriers as master teachers, and prepares you to join the ancient lineage of oil bearers.

The course will run on 13 Thursday evenings (UK time) between Oct 26 2023 and Feb 15 2024 (see exact timings and dates below) and will also include a 4 hour dedication ceremony at the Magdalene Chapel (aka St Margaret’s Chapel) in Glastonbury 5-9 pm Thursday 22 Feb 2024. (An additional online ceremony will be organised if needed for those who are not able to attend the live event in Glastonbury.)
