I have been spending a lot of time in France this year, and while it has been challenging at times to go back to a place I had left for genuine reason, there has been a lot of shadows I had to confront in order to continue on my healing journey.

I have been staying in Lyon, France, a city that ressembles New York City in its layout, but holds a lot of history from the Roman Empire, to the Middle-Ages, and of course modern times. One of the promisses I made myself in living in France was to travel and visit as many sites as possible. Europe being full of religious sites, my times has been spent in churches and religious sites that pretends to have had miracles.

Today, I invite you to walk with me in Pérouges, a medieval cité, located 30 minutes outside of Lyon. This is a very touristic destination where you simply step back in time. I felt called to visit. Maybe it is because I most happy in old monuments, with old stones, and cobbled streets; but I felt a deeper calling.

Église Saint-Apollinaire de Meximieux. *Starting in 1793, the building was dedicated to the Cult of Reason and the Supreme Being.*

The Inner Call to Connect

In Pérouges, there is a basilica that is dedicated to Mary-Magdalene called : Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Pérouges.

The more along I am in my spiritual journey, the more detached I have become from the names of the energy presenting itself to me. Embodiment is associated with time and restriction; but the core energetic is timeless. Therefore, as a disclaimer for those reading this, I have been confortable receiving messages from Alienesque figures as well as Saints and other characters from the bible. No matter what shape they take, the core message of the energy at play is what matters.

Mary-Magdalene is not exception to this. She has showed herself to me out of nowhere, when I was working with clients who had been betrayed deeply and who were looking to heal from a situation that seemed hopeless. She shows up with strength and determination with a strong power of transmutation and deep knowing, asking the person seeking healing to stand strong in their wound and transmute it to take back their strength.

Mary-Magdalene is one of the embodiments of the Divine Feminine that is deeply loving yet has strong boundaries and can defend itself, protect what needs to be protected, regardless of the authority the offender think to have. She can be associated with the Hindi Goddess of Shakti and Kali: A Divine Feminine Goddess who holds protective or defensive energy (often associated with the Divine Masculine Energy, yet is Feminine) and provides liberating knowledge.

Mary-Magdalene is strong. She resisted the assault perpetrated by the patriarchal redaction of the holy texts, and exists today as an embodiment of the Universal Mother through her energetic signature and the unearthing of her texts. She is deeply revered as Divine Feminine Authority, and represents the medicine needed to heal our Divine Feminine.

Following the Signs

The first thing that struck me in the town is the amount of rose bushes that were growing everywhere. For some reason, each building seemed to have roses growing, mostly red roses with the occasional white and orange ones. I personally would associate Mary-Magdalene to red roses. I did not know that the flower associated with her was a red rose; but from the moment of entering in the town, I felt her presence through them. It is possible that my subconscious had memorized the association, but the gut feeling was really strong, to the point that I started to ask why the roses were the symbolism and the answers I got was that she is the representative of the heart in all of its form. She is the embodyiment of the Divine Feminine and with her love and devotion to the teachings of Jesus, she held the role of representation of all the aspects of the Divine Feminine, hence the rose and its many petals: a representation of the complexity of Divine perfection.

The beating heat outside the church really allowed me to enjoy the nice and cold air inside. Looking back at it, I feel like the church stood up as a sanctuary from the heat. Much like the essence of the Universal Mother: a sanctuary to rest and nourish ourselves. This church did not have a lot of exuberant details in it. It was actually quite simple, with ample space and simple decorations and tainted windows. However, something striking to me what the depth of the walls and as you can see on the picture below, the rounded tainted windows showing the thickness of the walls. It was like being in a cocoon of fresh air. Protected from the Masculine Energy of the beating Sun, the church felt like a sanctuary of strong Feminine Energy. I walked towards the altar dedicated to Mary-Magdalen and decided to sit and listen, asking for questions to help me in my personal quest and work.

The Message

I sat down. I observe her altar, took my note book and the only pen that I had packed, a red pen… And I started to ask:

“ Teach me, Mary-Magdalene. I listen to you. I hear your story like it was never told before, for your suffering was built by those in power, I humbly ask for your witnessing, your teachings, and your blessings; for I work with wounded feminine, teach me how to heal the wounded so that they feel strong once again.” (I wanted to understand how to be a better healer).

She responded this:

What was broken can no longer be whole again. What has shattered must now form a new shape. So is the will of God.

The wounded are not weak, for they are not dead. They have been showed the weakness of their ways. Only the bravest of the brave can heal what was never meant to be ceased.

Holy be my name for it has always been. Peu importe (= No matter) how my story is told, my energy remains. Strength is my story and Divine is my way for I have broken when I couldn’t continue suffering. Let it be the exemple of Divine complexity.

Hold your love as precious gold. Your heart is the portal of Divine Cognition. God only sees through Love, only knows Love, and only speaks Love. Nothing God does is without Love. The Love is so strong that the Earth will shatter when the Love God send is not received as it should.

Hold your heart in alignement with your mind for only the heart can heal your path.

Your wounds are not your story. They are the frames, the path leading you to your Divinity. Hold your wound in Harmony for your soul is guiding you to your highest path.

Mary-Magdalene’s blessing/activation/healing

[I asked how to bring help for my next workshop around the Tri-fold flame on June 6th 2026 and this is what I got]:

Release animosity & hate. It blinds them in finding their way. I will be present. Activate their heart with the burning Sun.

My Take on the message.

When I channel, I just let my hand wander and I don’t pay attention to grammar or sentence structure (as we can see), because I want my brain to make space for receiving the energy. I even mixed in some French in there, because this was the word coming first and I did not want to interrupt the transmission. There are points that I take from it:

Wounds are not the end. They are an opportunity to reshape ourselves (transmute) in a form that is more aligned to our Divine Self.
Healing takes courage. Shadow work is brave.
Stand strong in your own knowingness, your own power. Don’t worry about what others say about you because your authenticity will survive the worst tongues.
Love is as previous as what you value the most and Source only communicates through Love. Start to find your love.
Liberate yourself from the oppression of your own hatred and resentment. They take unnecessary space and are like stains on a clear window. They prevent you from seeing clearly.
The heart is the captain of your ship. The mind and the heart must harmonize.
Shadows shape, they do not determine your way. Do not hide behind your shadows, look at them, embrace them, and walk in the light of their path.
