There’s a conference coming up on Mary Magdalene and various other manifestations of the Divine Feminine. Growing numbers of people are connecting with the Mary Magdalene archetype these days, which I find very interesting. Some of this has no doubt been provoked by the Da Vinci Code, but I think more accurately it is a rebirth in the collective of reintegrating aspects of the feminine which were confined to the collective shadow and which carry a good deal of numinous power and spiritual information.

I recently found out that my book on menstruation (Her Blood Is Gold) was the inspiration for a group of Catalan women to do blood rituals in the cave in Southern France in which MM is traditionally reputed to have lived.

There’s a book coming out (probably next year) by anthropologist Anna Fedele on this phenomenon, and it includes a lengthy interview with me on my spiritual journey and how I became interested in the sacred aspects of menstruation and started bleeding on the ground.

My next project, once I get my part of the relationship book written, is to arrange a new edition of Her Blood Is Gold. If anyone has any ideas that could assist with this, please email me. Various editions have nearly happened in the last few years and have fallen through each time for one reason or another. I suspect that in order to have better control over things, I should self-publish, but funds and time have not been in place for this. Any suggestions gratefully received.
