A fantasy in the bold tradition of
The Mists of Avalon... |

|
Laura Depta as Mary Magdalene |
|
|
|
|
Gospel of the Messiah Widow is the story of the post-Pentecostal journey of Mary Magdalene who joins three Goddesses on an epic quest through oceans and stars, terrorist zealots, moonlight sensuality, pagan magic, and battles with angels to reclaim paradise and lift the curse of Eden. Paul Stone, an American student on a pilgrimage through Spain, records the fevered rantings of Helena, a possessed Spanish girl who channels the miraculous story of Mary. Through the amazing account, Paul discovers that somewhere between the Word and the Impulse is balance, between God and Goddess is creation, and between myth and history is Truth. |
