Yes dear friends the long awaited Feast Day of Mary Magdalene has arrived! Did you receive the Video “The Sanctifier”? She who Anoints the Anointed One ~Lyrics by hag – Music by Velsum – Originally performed as part of our Easter Festival on Holy Saturday 2023. This deeply moving video was lovingly crafted as a surprise gifting from Velsum to me on my recent Natal Return – Premiering TODAY for all to witness. (see the lyrics below)
22 July 2023 “Speaking with the Stars”: From Astrosopher Jonathan Hilton: “the Moon leaves Leo and steps into the stars of Virgo. If we hold the imagination of Virgo as the great Isis/Sophia with a crown of stars around her head, the Sun in her heart, and the Moon under her feet, then the Moon TODAY will enter the crown of stars around the head of Virgo.“
The Sanctifier ~hag
MMMMMMM
He is the eternal flame of love. She is the oil that burns for light.
She who anoints ‘The Anointed One’ (1)
Hers is the path of the Sacred Union, consummated within the soul.
She of ‘The Three Marys’ (15) =
“Rebellious, bitter, & beloved.” (16)
“There were three
who always walked with The Lord:
Mary His mother;
Mary His sister;
And Mary Magdalene, His companion. (17)
Three Marys: Virgin, Sister, Companion
MMMMMM
He is the eternal flame of love. She is the oil that burns for light.
She who anoints ‘The Anointed One’ (1)
Hers is the path of the Sacred Union, consummated within the soul.
She is the Magdala – The Tower ascending
In Christened Catharsis
She is freed from the 7 demons –
“A design was erased by virtue of a higher design” (2)
MMMMMM
“Then Mary Arose”(3)
And Anthropos Sophia entered in
MMMMMMM
He is the eternal flame of love. She is the oil that burns for light.
She who anoints ‘The Anointed One’ (1)
Hers is the path of the Sacred Union, consummated within the soul.
She offers Tears of Repentance –
His feet, her hair.
Thru “her Greater Love” (4)
She breaks open
The “alabaster jar” (5)
Spilling out
The Unction
A Precious Perfume
Confirming the balm of Faith
MMMMMMM
Then – when it was His Time
At the ‘Turning Point of Time’
She prepares the Lamb for sacrifice
She offers the Golden Chrism
She Anoints His head for burial
“Truly I tell you, wherever in the whole world this Gospel is proclaimed,
what she has done will be told and her memory will be honored.” (6)
MMMMMMM
He is the eternal flame of love. She is the oil that burns for light.
She who anoints ‘The Anointed One’ (1)
Hers is the path of the Sacred Union, consummated within the soul.
She sits at the feet of the Master
She stands with the Twelve
She walks with the women who sustained the mission
“By their own means” (7)
MMMMMMM
She kneels
At the foot of the Cross (11)
With the Virgin Sophia
And her risen brother
MMMMMM
Death Doula –
Myrrhbearer (12)
Sacred Witness
At the tomb (13)
Holding Space
Turning Time
Harrowing Hell (14)
MMMMMMM
He is the eternal flame of love. She is the oil that burns for light.
She who anoints ‘The Anointed One’ (1)
Hers is the path of the Sacred Union, consummated within the soul.
The Priestess of Isis Becomes
The “Apostle of the apostles”
So says the ‘Angelic Doctor’. (2a)
MMMMMM
She is the Mercy Seat (20)
The Shekinah
In the Holy of Holies – Revealed –
When “The veil of the Temple was rent in twain.” (21)
MMMMMMM
She is
The first to See
The first to Be
The Holy Grail
She leads us to the Gardener (22)
Of the New Jerusalem
MMMMMMM
He is the eternal flame of love. She is the oil that burns for light.
She who anoints ‘The Anointed One’ (1)
Hers is the path of the Sacred Union, consummated within the soul.
She holds the Red Egg (19)
In The Golden Legend
Cherubim lift her
Out of the cave
Contemplative in her hair-shirt
Soul of Wisdom
Messenger of Christ
“The compassionate Christ said to Mary his companion:
You are the blessed one in whom I will perfect all Mysteries” (18)
MMMMMMM
He is the eternal flame of love. She is the oil that burns for light.
She who anoints ‘The Anointed One’ (1)
Hers is the path of the Sacred Union, consummated within the soul.

(16) I see the name Mary, like the name John, as an honorific title of initiation. Miriam or Mary originated from the Egyptian language; derivative of the root mr “beloved of Yahweh; derivation from Hebrew, either from marah “to be rebellious”, or from mara “bitter” (cf. myrrh), or mry “rebellious”. St. Jerome (writing c. 390), following Eusebius of Caesarea, translates the name as “drop of the sea” (stilla maris in Latin), from Hebrew מר mar “drop” (cf. Isaiah 40:15) and ים yam “sea”. This translation was subsequently rendered stella maris (“star of the sea”) whence comes the Virgin Mary’s title Star of the Sea.

Hi Hazel,
I wrote a comment to say that I thought these were two great artists conceptualizing your work. It does take 23 minutes in complete audio scenario to experience this performance. You must be astounded. Let the Aperspectival Age begin here.
Yes, 23 is the # of LIFE!
Noticed the mention of “star of the sea” (stella maris) in your footnote #16. Whenever I hear that, I’m reminded of one of the reasons Virginia Beach was chosen from among all the locations in the U.S.A. to be the headquarters of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E., the Edgar Cayce organization). There was a Star of the Sea Catholic church at the Beach (may be a slightly different location than the modern building now), that mirrored a Star of the Sea Catholic church somewhere in Europe (Portugal? Spain?). These two churches on either side of the Atlantic served as “messengers” and “symbols” of an esoteric group called the Great White Brotherhood, a group whose history stretched back to at least Atlantis, if not further back – it should be mentioned this has nothing to do with today’s white nationalism, but was a spiritual designation, the members of which were symbolized wearing white robes. Virginia Beach was considered by this Brotherhood to be a suitable location for an organization that was to be blessed by them. There were other reasons as well, like the health benefits of the beach sand, but this thought of the Catholic church link always fascinates me.

Thank you for this amazing song, paean of praise… I can’t wait to hear it sung.
It is singing in my heart!
Blessings,
Diana
To see them in person is powerful in deed
Thank you so much, Hazel.
Such a brightening to the world!
Hermosa poesía y canción
Thank you, Yes MM came thru with much grace…
Hi Hazel,
I put you on hiatus until July 23rd, and so these are unexpected but welcome remarks. I did look back at the earlier version of “The Sanctifier” on April 8th, which was two days before my own offering in response to the Anthropopper essay on 4/10. It remains, largely unattended, but you always shine the spotlight, which is why I gravitate the most to you.
So, indeed, this is a very interesting year in which the waxing crescent Moon traverses Leo and comes to rest in Virgo briefly on July 22nd. It isn’t always going to be this way with the Moon in Virgo on July 22nd, which is Mary Magdalene’s feast day. But, this year seems important, doesn’t it, with other considerations coming from the centennial of 1923.
Martha’s feast day is July 29th, and she is now recognized by the Catholic church as the sister of Mary Magdalene and Lazarus. So, Pope Francis in 2021 declared July 29th as a triple dedication day to all three.
We have discussed the MM phenomenon for some time, and maybe this year to the largest extent. The seven demons remains the unresolved factor, but you had not reached the higher Sun Triad yet. So, here we are with me encouraging you all the way within the limits that you still set. It’s a process, Hazel, and thanks for keeping us in your remote scanner.
I love thinking about the death of Artemis on Alexander’s birthday because She was resurrected when Aristotle taught the youth for three years. He remembered himself due to the excruciating torture of hearing Aristotle’s orations of intensified thinking. He remembered it like having his head dunked in a barrel of ice-cold water, and then having his head placed in a vice, and the bones of his skull being drawn together. In short, Alexander sped ahead in order to exemplify the Aristotelian Knowledge of Nature to the four directional winds, and Aristotle was left with this contemplation:
He must increase while I must decrease.
This was reversed with their last incarnation together. It was the time of Christ. Hint: Lazarus is involved.
Just returning today. Since those dates had such significance I used the tech to schedule & send those short reminders remotely while i was away…
MM shows us the way to transform the 7 demons – this is my work now…
