Summary

What if everything you were taught about Mary Magdalene, Christianity, and the divine feminine was deliberately erased from history? ✨ Enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN! Step into embodied manifesting, alchemize emotional blocks, and activate your inner magnetism. Join us now → ⁠https://makemagic.zivameditation.com⁠ ✨ In this revelatory episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily dives deep with Meggan Watterson, Harvard-trained theologian, scholar of the Divine Feminine, and bestselling author of Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself. Meggan unveils the buried truths that were literally found in Egyptian caves. Ancient scriptures that reveal a version of Christianity radically different from what survived. These texts show Christ giving Mary Magdalene secret mystical teachings, women in positions of spiritual authority, and a path to the divine that runs through the body, not around it. 💡 In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ Why Mary Magdalene was never a prostitute and how that lie served patriarchal power structures ✨ The Gospel of Mary and other "lost" scriptures that were deliberately buried in the 4th century ✨ How the erasure of the Divine Feminine affects our ability to trust our inner knowing ✨ The difference between the "hero's journey" (external) and the "heroine's journey" (internal) ✨ Why salvation originally meant "to be made more alive" not saved by external authority ✨ Meggan's personal journey from religious trauma to discovering authentic mystical Christianity ✨ The revolutionary story of Thecla, the girl who baptized herself and refused patriarchal expectations This conversation bridges 2,000-year-old wisdom with modern healing, showing how reclaiming these lost teachings can transform our relationship with spirituality, our bodies, and our own divine nature. ✨ Ready to experience this work yourself?

0:00.0	Sweet friends, welcome to one of my favorite episodes of why isn't everyone doing this, the podcast where we dive into those transformational conversations that are going to help you to embody your highest potential.
0:11.7	So today's episode is for anyone that has ever felt a curiosity that perhaps something about the way we were taught to see the divine wasn't the whole story, that perhaps there was a part
0:22.1	of the story that was missing. So if you were raised with a version of God that felt punishing or
0:27.2	judgmental or distant or like a scary man in the sky, and if you've always wondered that maybe,
0:33.8	just maybe there's more to the story, then this conversation might unlock something
0:38.1	extraordinarily powerful for you. We can't be something if we can't see something. And so I think that
0:43.9	the mythology and the iconography that we surround ourselves with in relationship to the divine
0:48.3	really matters. And I was so excited to have Megan Waterson on the show because I just
0:53.1	finished her book, Mary Magdalene
0:54.7	revealed. And so when she said yes, I did a happy dance in my living room because Megan
0:58.8	Waterson is a Harvard-trained theologian. She's a scholar of the divine feminine and the author
1:03.8	of the best-selling book Mary Magdalene revealed. She also has a new book coming out called
1:08.3	The Girl Who Baptized herself and the stories that she shares about a woman who I had never even heard of whose scriptures
1:14.2	have also been removed from the Bible blew my mind.
1:17.4	Her name is Thetla.
1:18.2	And Megan's desire is to have Thetla be a household name just like Mary Magdalene.
1:23.6	So Megan has spent decades unearthing texts that were buried, and I mean literally buried, for
1:28.6	centuries in Egypt, texts that revealed a version of Christianity that honors the body, that
1:33.2	honors the feminine, and the mystical truth that God is not just above us, but also within us.
1:39.0	We talk about the erasure of the feminine from spiritual history, the power of inner noses,
1:44.0	why Mary Magdalene was never
1:45.2	actually a prostitute and how reclaiming the sacred feminine can heal our relationship with divinity
