MAGDALENE UNVEILED, a 2-DVD set featuring the 90-minute documentary THE SACRED PROSTITUTE, takes us into the world of the ancient and modern sacred sexuality teacher/healer/ceremonialist, a world where sexual energy is a catalyst rather than an obstacle in the spiritual quest — a world where “sexual" and “spiritual" are intrinsically the same.

Presenters include:

• followers of Mary Magdalene
• a Tibetan Buddhist lama
• a rabbi
• several Western Tantra and other sacred-sexuality teachers/practitioners
• a Native American shaman
• an African Nubian-Khamite priestess
• a porn star
• a sexworker rights activist
• an Episcopal priest

Known today sometimes by such names as “sacred intimate," “tantrika," “daka/dakini," “sexual healer," “sacred whore," “tantra teacher," or “sexual shaman," women and men in contemporary versions of the sacred prostitute present their lives and their evolution into a role that would have been revered in many ancient and not-so-ancient cultures.

Topics include:

• Mary Magdalene and Jesus
• Tantra and other expressions of sacred sexuality
• Christianity and sexual oppression
• Plato vs. Jesus
• prostitution vs. sacred prostitution
• the legality of sacred sexwork
• heterosexual and homosexual sexuality
• celibacy
• orgasmic energy

The contemporary sacred prostitute no longer has a public temple where she or he can share the ceremonies openly. There is little or no lineage down through which the sacred mysteries can be revealed from high priest/ess to initiate. Legally, socially, religiously, the sacred prostitute has been out in the cold — until now!

A message from the author.

In 1995 I envisioned, edited, and published WOMEN OF THE LIGHT: THE NEW SACRED PROSTITUTE, a book in which nine women in various contemporary sacred-sexuality roles share their life and work. Response to that book brought me in contact with many more people in similar roles. After two years of filming and editing, the filmmaker Sarah Sher and I completed THE SACRED PROSTITUTE, a 90-minute, in-depth documentary on women and men who have stepped outside of oppressive religious dogmas and are teaching others a new/ancient paradigm of sex and spirit. Mary Magdalene has become the "patron saint" of some of these visionaries. Now the documentary, a special section on Mary Magdalene, and challenging outtakes are available in a special 2-DVD set entitled MAGDALENE UNVEILED.

I invite you to watch and read about these special people. Their lives are making an important difference.
