Summary

“Our ideas of the Divine affect the status of women and girls across time and history, and they deeply influence how we see ourselves.”

Today, Devi welcomes the incomparable Meggan Watterson — feminist theologian, speaker, and author of Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself. Together, they explore the divine power of sacred femininity, the wisdom of higher consciousness, and the reclamation of women’s spiritual authority.

With warmth and clarity, Meggan shares stories of lost scriptures, the erasure of women’s voices in early Christianity, and the radical love embodied by figures like Mary Magdalene and Tekla, stories that challenge old narratives and invite us into a more expansive, inclusive understanding of the divine.

This episode gently unpacks the religious trauma many carry, offering an empowering reminder that spiritual truth lives within us. Meggan speaks to the beauty of feminine embodiment, the courage it takes to listen to our inner knowing, and the healing found in reconnecting with the sacred within.

To close, Meggan offers a simple but profound three-breath meditation — a grounding practice that helps us return to our hearts, our truth, and divine love.
