title: Only Love: The Secret Teachings of Mary Magdalene
author: Lauri Ann Lumby
description: Lauri Ann Lumby, OM, OPM, MATS is a Modern Magdalene Priestess, spiritual counselor, educator and author. She is the author of the highly-anticipated, Song of the Beloved  the Gospel According to Mary Magdalene and Authentic Freedom  Claiming a Life of Contentment and Joy, both of which reveal the hidden teachings of Jesus as revealed through his most devoted student, co-equal minister and beloved partner, Mary Magdalene. For over twenty years, Lauri has researched, studied and put into practice these hidden teachings of the Judeo-Christian tradition and discovered within them rich and effective tools for facilitating self-awareness and self-actualization. These teachings and practices prove that beyond the doctrine resides the truth that unites all people  the truth of Oneness in Love. As a priestess of the Magdalene/Christ, Lauri shares these teachings through her on-line and local courses, one-on-one mentoring, writing and publishing, and through her Magdalene Priestess Training program.

  And wherever they settled from then on,there was called
  
  
  Magdala,
  
  
    
  
  
  for they knew not into what generation the Magdalene would be born.
