Just think about this:

Conversely, whenever Mary Magdalene enters the picture – which she does rarely enough, sad to say – it is fascinating how the energy changes. Atonement theology softens, and with the same breath she enters, a new warmth seems to blow. With her come the cadences of gentleness and forgiveness, the sounding of that core vibration of love.

— Cynthia Bourgeault, The Meaning of Mary Magdalene

Women are the not only the future.

Women are the past. Women are the present.

Women are salvation.
