Tilman Riemenschneider, ascension of Mary Magdalene from the Münnerstadt Altar, 1490–1492

[dangerousbleus]

I'm going down with the rosary

Tongue pressed on guilt from a dove in my teeth

I could watch it drip down and cover my skin

The taste of Christ sits still while I swallow your insides

I could let it drag you down to cover our sins

If I could lift you off the ground they'd cry out that this is what love is

When they unravel the webs that I've spun

What shall be undone?

When they unravel the webs that I've spun

What shall be undone?

Mother of God on the rosary

So is she here with us?

Does she want what she sees?

Watch me come undone

Watch me come undone

When God unravels the webs that I've spun

What shall be undone?

When God unravels the webs that I've spun

What shall be undone?

Reading the Digby Mary Magdalene play.

[lightofthemagdalene]

Come to the night gently.

Do not run.

Do not leap.

The sun sets on a schedule entirely her own.

There is no need to run eastwords

to hurry her on.

As the dusk settles

and the bruised air

fills your lungs,

and the black hares

hunker on the hillside,

Breathe.

Listen.

Witness

as the dark moon rises.

Rise alongside it and

greet the darkening sky.

You will see that

even as the sun’s gold

has fully faded,

and the purple breeze

has softened,

there is light.

That—

that which is part of you—

that which you are part of—

that which beckons you to rest.

For

there is no leaving.

There is only going home

where there are friends to meet you.

No song has ever captured the agony and internal conflict of Catholic Guilt, particularly around sex, as well as this. It's soul destroying

[hamletthedane]

Nobody was doing it like Mary Magdalene. Tits out. Standing on a mountain. Holding a skull. She’s like the lesbian catholic hamlet. Aesthetically an absolute win for the gays.

half a mind, that keeps the other second guessing.

not strong enough, boygenius; mary magdalene, antonio ciseri

[antifragi1e]

she's literally The fashion industry

The darkness always ends, Magdalene. We must remember that.
