-Caveat Lector-
As for Mary Magdalene, she is variously described in the Gospels as "a
sinner" and "out of whom went seven devils." Her hometown, Magdala or
Migdal, was the headquarters for an Astarte cult that had a seven-stage
initiation. Astarte's mascot, like MM's, was the dove. IF MM was a
prostitute, it would have been in connection with the sacred
prostitution which took place within the Astarte cult. If she were an
Astarte initiate, she would have been a sinner in the eyes of all four
of the Gospel writers. The prostitute tradition did not come about
until the second century A.D.

==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
