		<title>Google Roundup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long gone are the days when Magdalene.org was #1 on Google, but that&#8217;s okay. There are some great resources at the top of the heap these days, so I thought it was worth a post to talk a little bit about them. Here are the top 3, in order, as displayed on Google: #1: Mary [...]]]></description>

		<title>A difficult question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One question I&#8217;ve heard a great number of times over the years is one that I have great difficulty answering. It&#8217;s troubling because I feel like I should have an answer easily at hand, maybe an &#8220;elevator speech&#8221; of sorts, but I don&#8217;t. What does Mary Magdalene mean to me? Even considering this question fills [...]]]></description>

		<title>Church of Mary Magdalene Tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is something worth checking out. In Jerusalem, on the Mt. of Olives, there is a Russian Orthadox church, complete with large golden onion domes, that is dedicated to Mary Magdalene. I&#8217;ve never had the good fortune to visit (someday!), and I&#8217;ve always wanted to get a better look at it. There are a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mary Magdalene and Lolita Fashion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you say you&#8217;ve never heard of Lolita fashion? Wikipedia to the rescue! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashion Now that the definition is out of the way, I can share my discovery: a brand of Lolita clothing called Mary Magdalene. http://www.marymagdalene.jp/ (The site is in Japanese, but the images still load&#8230;) I&#8217;m filled with wonder! What!? You don&#8217;t see [...]]]></description>

		<title>July 22: MM and Ratcatcher Day!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday my son and I sat in the children&#8217;s literature section of the UW library, randomly picking up books and giving them a read. I came across several copies of Robert Browning&#8217;s &#8220;The Pied Piper of Hamelin,&#8221; and decided to read it. Much to my surprise, the date Browning gave for the Pied Piper&#8217;s &#8220;abduction&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>MM as harlot: a new perspective in academia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From my book: “Clearly, the legend of Helen is meant to be a Gnostic allegory for the fall of Sophia (which is in turn an allegory of the fall of the soul), but the parallels between Simon Magus and Jesus should also make us look more closely at the parallels between Helen and Mary Magdalene.

		<title>Documentary: MM, Saint or Sinner?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I obtained a recording of a UK television documentary from Demand Five called &#8220;Mary Magdalene: Saint or Sinner?&#8221; and watched it this evening. A fairly typical documentary, it includes dramatic narration asking all of the sensational questions being bandied about in our post-Da Vinci Code culture, a round-up of experts, and actors dramatizing the topics [...]]]></description>

		<title>Litany for MM&#8217;s feast day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Best wishes to all on this, the Feast of Mary Magdalene! I thought that the following traditional litany, copied from the Catholic Culture website (formatting is mine), would be a fine reading for the day: According to the tradition of the Western Church Mary Magdalene, who is mentioned in all four Gospels, is also identical [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun with Google Trends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found a post in this blog from several years ago, in which I commented that it was odd that most Google searches for the keyword &#8220;mary magdalene&#8221; came from the Philippines and Raleigh, NC. Today I revisited Google Trends to see if the same is still true. As it happens, it is still true. [...]]]></description>
