Mary Magdalene myspace.com/mmagdalene The consumation of Mary Magdalene was in the spring of 2003. With spring being the first life and the freshest period it only made sense that the series of events that Alicia and Angela experienced together would eventually trigger a metamorphosis into what some now refer to now as the "Mary Magdalene Experience." "It was time to grow up and take our gifts seriously." "The pain and losses that we experienced gave us a new mold." "It has never contained us nor classified us because it gives into us." "When you make a decision not to compromise your art or who youv'e become you develop new senses hence a new lifestlye." "You begin to understand change and the powers you possess" explains Alicia. "Most people are definately intrigued by the name which they should be." It was actually given to us by a close friend who bonded with us at a crucial moment in time." "The name fits the description of a woman who was deeply wounded mentally,emotionally and spiritually, at some point we have all been there." "Through it all Mary Magdalene became a leader among women and was eventually commissioned to serve in the Kingdom." "That is what we represent life and authenticity" says Angela.
