Mary Magdalene and the Women Disciples wisdom cards and book.
Unique and groundbreaking.
27 Large cards with beautiful and reproductions of my original paintings. The book contains information, and suggested practices - meditation, art, writing, dance, nature and more.
£36 UK, £38 EU, £42 worldwide including postage
UNIQUE and GROUNDBREAKING
These cards and book are the culmination of a creative spiritual journey of many years, uncovering and beginning to know these human and truly holy women. The 27 large cards are beautiful reproductions are from my paintings; each is an energetic transmission of deep wisdom. Their purpose is to bring love, healing and spiritual connection to all who see them.
Mary Magdalene was not a lone woman tagging along with the male disciples of Jesus. She was a leading disciple, one of the many women disciples and followers; some of whom went on to teach, inspire and lead early communities.
The book contains quotations, questions, information and inspiration on each of the women and a suggested practice. Practices include journaling, art work, poetry, meditation, prayer, song and dance. They are invitations to move into a deeper connection with the universal mystery of life.
Most of the women represented on these cards were Jewish but the wisdom is universal and not limited to any gender,religion or group. You are so welcome here.
If you’re in Manchester you can attend a workshop with the cards on Sunday 26th January. - contact me for details.
Online workshops begin in November.
Mary of James
Each week I feature one of the women disciples with a short extract from of the text from my book.
Can you make friends with silence?
“There is a silence vaster than space itself. It is neither still nor in movement. It is present in all of creation. It is present in you and all your kind.
This limitless silence is that which gives beauty to sound. It is the Great silence that all vibration – light,sound, mass – is in counter point, contrast, opposition, difference to.
All vibration has its existence because of the Great Silence.
We will return to this. For now, hold to the stillness within.”
by our ancestors to beopened up for us as we go inwards to the source of all being.
Iinvite you to sit quietly where you will not be interrupted andslowly read aloud the quote above. Pause after eachsentenceand sink into the silence between the words. Allow the vibrations ofyour own voice to be absorbed into your subtle energy systems. Whenyou have completed the last sentence remain sitting a while and “holdto the stillness within.” You may wish to sit for longer, so when distracting thoughts ariseuse the words “holdto the stillness within” tobring you back to your centre of silence.

Fay Barratt
Art has always been my first love, though many other things have filled my life. I am a painter, author, spiritual teacher, an Interfaith Minister and the founder and visionary for the Mary Magdalene School of Wisdom. With 50 years experience of running workshops and groups the last 25 have focused on spiritual teaching and the Divine Feminine.
Over recent years I have realised that my experience of being in the artistic flow or being spiritually inspired and guided come from the same inner source. This is the source of universal creativity, of love, peace, and joy. It is our birthright as children of the Cosmos. No matter what our spiritual path or outlook there lies within us a force beyond our comprehension, it can only be known through direct experience. I hope that we can access that creative force together. I am really excited to see how your individual creative journey emerges. There is no right way, only what is true for you.

My art is an act of love. May the wind of Grace blow through me, sweeping away all hubris, leaving only hand, eye, heart, soul, light. May the infinite radiance of creation open my inner and outer eyes. I am grateful, humble and forever in service of love. My art is an act of graitude.
