“Dear Brother Rob: We wanted you to know that our exceedingly sweet, holy, and pious dog, Magdalene, told us tonight that she feels you are a direct descendant of Melchior, one of those famous Bethlehem astrologers/magi mentioned as bringing gifts to the baby Jesus way back when! That’s so cool! Raucous peace to you! -Gabriel and Deana.” Dear Gabriel and Deana: I’m honored! Give my thanks to Magdalene. Does she have any messages for my Cancerian readers? I’ve been having visions that they will soon be getting gifts from the past and revelations about their heritage and updates concerning their birthrights.

Hmmm. Not so right on this time that I can see. Except for the Magdalene part. Been thinking about Mary Magdalene of late. And last night I watched the DaVinci Code which brought back my visit to her bones (one of the two purported locations) in Vezelay France. The very end when they showed her beneath the abomination of the glass pyramids at the Louvre really touched me. Because the thing about Mary (and many others) is that she is exactly where you think she should be. In my case, she is with me in my office as much as she was in Vezelay. All I have to do is think on her and connect with her and she is there.

As for gifts from the past that doesn’t fill me with glee actually. Revelations about my heritage and my birthright would be interesting since I’m adopted.

But I think what I’ll really take from this is that I need to be connecting to Magdalene energy in a big way. She certainly found her true love against adversity and found her way and lived in the light.
