The Creator of the Magdalene Muses Card Deck This is Patti Ashley . She wrote the inspiring phrases and thoughts in the Magdalene Muses Card Deck . Her inspiration continues to elevate us every day through her visionary words. I wanted to share about Patti because her generous soul made this beautiful deck possible.

New Painting of Mary Magalene by Tanya Torres This painting still needs a few touches. The photo is not great, but I wanted to share it because I had shared the drawing and beginning to the painting a while ago and it stayed waiting on my easel for a long time until this past Saturday I was inspired by the traditional interpretation of Mary Magdalene washing Jesus’ feet with her tears and drying them with her hair. In Luke 7:36-50 , a woman described as a "sinner" washed Jesu

“ Right now, I'd love to be painting, working on my music. I have my piano right there, and I haven't been learning many things I've always enjoyed and used to do, and I have to start all over again.
