Mariam Magdal

Today’s drawing of Mary Magdalene

In his vision, Lars Muhl sees an extraordinarily beautiful woman who calls herself “The Bride.” He doesn’t know who she is, but later, when he asks, he receives the answer “Miriam Magdal.” As a student of Aramaic, he translates:

“Mariam Magdal is Aramaic for Mary Magdalene […] Mariam may mean ‘the joy of God,’ ‘The Spirit of Peace,’ or in certain dialects ‘princess,’ whereas Magdal means ‘She of the Watchtower.’ In Malachi’s book from the Old Testament, the expression Magdale-eder is known, which means something like ‘The Exalted One,’ ‘the protector of the Flock,’ or ‘The One who is elevated and is guarding the others,’ or a mixture of these.” (Quote from: The O Manuscript by Lars Muhl)
