Mary Magdalene



Passion
Today’s drawing of Mary Magdalene I have to admit that as I age, I have been feeling less passion in general. It reminds me of my father, who around my age, felt similarly. All his previous life, he had been a passionate man who developed many projects and whose enthusiasm was so contagious that he would easily recruit people, including me since I was a child, to help him turn his ideas into reality. In his 50s, I suspect, he was feeling like I feel these days, not wanting to

Magdalene Muses Card Self-Reading: Holy Grail
Today’s drawing of Mary Magdalene I’ve been struggling a lot with exhaustion these past weeks, and so I have not been posting daily as I would have wanted. But today I decided it’s been too long and too much exhaustion in the evenings, so I decided to drink some coffee at 3pm. I know that, for me, that might mean a sleepless night, especially since I haven’t been drinking much coffee beyond the morning for the last 8 years, unless it’s the weekend. It’s part of my sleep disci

Meditation With the Earth
Mary Magdalene: Meditation with the Earth, Tanya Torres, Oil on Canvas, 18”W x24”H, 2025. I have been working on this painting for several weeks.

Unstoppable Person
Today’s drawing of Mary Magdalene Jorge Muñoz Parral says that God is a creative force that likes those who are coherent. According to him, the most important steps for manifestation are: Intention-Defining our goal or wish. For whom-When we do things to benefit others, we leave aside our ego. Massive action-Action is required. Detachment -One of Mary Magdalene’s most powerful lessons. Neutrality is the most potent state. This is how to become an unstoppable person.

The Rituals of Every Day Life
Today’s drawing of Mary Magdalene Ritual or routine? In the morning, I count on my routine to do everything I need to do in order to get to work earlier than “on time.” I want to be early so that I can perform my rituals and get into the role I must play. These little actions prepare me for the day ahead: I place my keys, my phone and my glasses on my desk. I look at my calendar. I think for a while. I make a list. I seek inspiration. Before that, in the subway, I read my be
