13 week (Samhain 2024 to Imbolc 2025) Magdalene Myrrhophore Mysteries online course

A 13 week journey into the myrrhophore 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 Myrrhophore 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 Tuesday evenings (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 date TBC Feb 2025.
