It is a well-known fact that in the late 6th century Pope Gregory
shaped the image of the Goddess in the Gospels, Mary Magdalene,
into a penitent adulteress and prostitute-labels more recently
abandoned in favor of "devoted follower" and even "Apostle to the
Apostles." Conversely, Jesus' image and character were refashioned
into a divinely born hero archetype and the body of his Gnostic
wisdom teachings redacted and corrupted to support the
personification of a Messiah and world redeemer who would fulfill
an ancient prophesy and proclaim himself "the way" to salvation. If
not accurate, then what was Jesus and Mary Magdalene's true legacy?
Ariadne Green offers up the image of Divine Complements who
married, had children and whose lives and mission together spanned
over sixty years. She traces their journey from Judea and Galilee
to the Nile Delta in Egypt, after an aborted crucifixion, and then
onto Gaul and Great Britain as the carriers of the Grail. The book
reveals a secret identity for Jesus, one known by the Knights
Templar and a group of Cistercian monks, who hid clues to a legacy
of secrets in La Queste Del Saint Graal. We discover Jesus'
authentic teachings survived and became the tenets of Valentinian
Gnostics who disseminated them in secret and initiated disciples
into a profound mystery-the mystery of the 'bridal chamber'.
