Mary Magdalen
Unveils HERstory
Join Her Journey
Heal Your Soul
***
Dear Deborah,
Thanks you for sending me LoveDance to read. This is a lovely and timely book. I feel it is important that we, as humans, endeavor to get back to the Divine Mother - Mary's story is a parable for all of us - It's time for us to get back in balance. Amazing that even 2000 plus years ago we were swayed or coerced into certain beliefs by politics and male dominated religion - Not too different from the present. This is a perfect time for your book.
As Ever,
Kathryn Ross-Elliott, actress The Graduate, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, The Stepford Wives

Dear Deborah,
Your life and work sound wonderful. The world sure needs whopper qualities of extra loving to everyone. One of the easiest solutions I can think of is to give it all over to women to guide us to a compassionate and generous world. We all hold each other up.
Respect,
Patch Adams M.D.

“Love Dance: Awakening the Divine Daughter” touched me on so many levels as a woman trying to awaken myself and find that perfect life partner, as a spiritual truth seeker and as a history buff. It is a wonderfully written book whose description of Yeshua and Mary has a strong ring of truth to it. I am looking forward to the sequel, “Love Dance: Realization of the Magdalen.”

This is a beautifully told story. Unlike the stories commonly told of Mary Magdalene being a whore, in this story she comes from a respected family and plays a critical role in Yeshua’s life. LoveDance takes the story of Mary Magdalen and Christ to another level. Everything that the characters are experiencing is described so that the reader can feel it, see it, and smell it. Being that Christ had so many special gifts, it seems to me like this might be more like how his life really was.

What happened to the sacred feminine perspective?
Throughout history written by men
mothers whispered HERstory to their beloved daughters
The sacred feminine is not lost nor is she forgotten
She has been veiled by history
Time to unveil HERStory

History is a set of lies agreed upon - Napoleon, Emperor of France
There’s History,
then there’s HERstory |
As Mary Magdalen’s story unfolded through visions and dreams, I awakened to the fullness of my intuitive gifts. Yet trained in the scientific method, I searched for some proof of what felt like a remembrance. And I found the skeleton of the story I had written, but not the flesh of the people 2000 years ago. Historians provided a framework, a rough timeline of political events, the masculine perspective of who had the strongest blade, the wars over land, the uprising and assassinations of kings, the ridiculous arguments over whose god was more powerful, a record of mankind—HISstory.
But where’s HERstory? The feminine perspective providing details of their existence , the chalice which held the blood of the people? Where were the women and children, the celebrations of life? The tools used to feed, clothe, and shelter our ancestors made of hardstuff—bronze, copper, tin—survived to suggest day to day tasks, yet the softness of women eroded with time.
All of history has been recorded by men (or if by the rare feminine hand, under a masculine penname) for the written word is power and men feared to give it up. So women kept alive HERstory through song and dance. Watch the delicate movements of the bellydancer’s hands, she is telling a story only her sisters recognize.
LoveDance is an intimate telling of the women’s lives in the chamam, in the kitchen, in the bridal chambers. LoveDance unveils the grace and the beauty of the times as well as the passion and the sorrow. LoveDance is HERstory.
 Blessings, Deborah

Readers Rave about LoveDance
"My life study has been Mary Magdalene. I have followed any story known since I was about 3 years old. Even then I knew that the church was off in their statements about her. I knew she was "The Beloved" of Jesus. I have found "Love Dance" to warm my heart and feed my soul in the most loving experience of Mary I have ever danced with. I find the history and actual Jewish law to be most accurate in the story again placing a smile on my face as I read, the truth shall indeed set us free.
I love this Dance and I love Deborah for having the spirit to bring it into life.” Thank you so very much.

“I would like to take a moment to thank you for the most beautiful, awakening book I have ever read in my lifetime. Like Mary's daughter, I too chose my parents. Through your book, a person learns many lessons. I never realized how much more a person can give and receive love. Your book shall reach the highest height possible, the zenith! I ask the Divine that every person in this universe has an opportunity to read this book.”
Georgette Maghsoudi, Hawaii

"What an experience. There was a beautiful transmission and healing that happened to me in reading this book.....I met the divine embodied feminine. I didn't read LoveDance with my mind; I read it with my body. Thank you, Deborah."
Susan Dasch MFT PhD, San Diego CA
“Enchanted and grounded in the earthly relationship of Divine Man (Jesus) and Divine Woman (Mary), LoveDance is a provocative read. It dares to speak as real man and real woman, suspending centuries old myths and legends. LoveDance entertains the mind with an absorbing story depicting honest human emotions while simultaneously stirring the soul to recognize the deepest of Truths. It is a blessed encounter in the shape of a book. “

“Lovedance truly awakens the woman with you. Gives you a totally alternative view of what actual women were in bibilical times.” Melanie Balestra NP JD, Irvine CA
"I loved the book! I found LoveDance to be freeing. Free from the bondage of societies restrictions that dictate both a man's and a women's roles. Free from the boundaries that we can only see with our eyes.and free to experience life as never before."
Mary K Schreiber Business Consultant, Tennessee
"Dear Deborah, Thanks for letting me read two chapters of your [oh, boy] monumental project and I look forward to reading the completed work. The second chapter Shifting Illusions, I was hooked, especially Mary and Sheikan's ride in the desert and its illusion to earth's lush potential. The scene of understanding of Yeshua's journey by his father Joseph was close to my own experience with my Dad. This is long overdue, I feel deeply that this book could profoundly change the thinking of the dogmatic religious world to understand the true message of Jesus (Yeshua). I am so excited about this book and send my desire and light candles for your coming success. Peace,"

“a gift to all spiritual seekers, I found myself underlining the gems of spiritual truth and wisdom as they flew off the pages of this novel which paints a refreshingly human picture of Jesus, his parents, his wife, and his family. This book engages the soul with whispers of self-remembering. Bless you, Deborah, for all the Light you bring to humanity at this time, "
