On the Flip Side… There was a Road Less Traveled… Another Way…
The cave in the Mountains of La Sainte Baume where Saint Mary Magdalene took refuge during the last years of her life. Today, it is a sanctuary sheltering relics.
Visiting a sacred spot at the Essene Church of Christ led by Nazariah, High Priest.
Mary-Margaret was raised a strict Catholic (go figure with that name!) and studied catechism and the Bible through 12 years of Catholic schooling. This was followed by additional study in world philosophies and ‘mystery schools’ with an undeclared minor in philosophy when she graduated with a BA from UCLA. At that time, she published her first pamphlet about paganism and wicca. She is known by some as “The Good Wiccan!” She went on to publish many more books since that era.
On February 2, 1992, Candlemas, anand released herself from the death cult and gave up sustenance based on blood. Five years later, on March 30, 1997, on the boardwalk of Venice, California, during another transitional time in her life, free speech advocate Arhata Osho gave m-m a new nickname, ‘anand sahaja.’ anand sahaja is loosely translated from sanskrit means ‘spontaneous bliss.’ Sahaja was the name of a rare woman mystic. anand was instructed to live moment to moment, not to think of the past or future, and to be free and unpredictable. anand’s life path began to follow an even deeper study of intense spiritual and philosophical scholarship and discovery. In order to speak freely and teach about her opinions on health and controversial topics, she sought to obtain legitimate ministerial credentials that reflected her own personal belief path.
The Essene path is one based on traditional Jewish, early Christian Gnostic principles. Essenes adhere to a blood-free, living food approach to diet as prescribed in the Old Testament. anand studied under direction of the Essene Order (founded by Dr. Edmond Bordeaux Szekely and Gary White in the San Diego, CA area). She was ordained as an Essene Minister by a Bishop of the Order in 2011. She received David Avocado Wolfe’s Raw Food Nutritionist credentials from the Body Mind Institute out of Toronto Canada in 2012. In 2018 she completed additional Ministerial Certification from the Nazarenes of Mount Carmel and is currently an active minister under their spiritual order. She serves as a Master Tarot reader with uncanny intuitive abilities and was attuned as a reiki maStar.
