Ancient Jewish visionaries knew something we often forget:
An ending is not only about what is being lost. It is also a revelation of what remains.
Apocalyptic traditions emerged in centuries of conquest, exile, religious upheaval, and uncertainty. They asked how humans could remain faithful, visionary, and fully alive when the world as they knew it was passing away.
Perhaps the most important question these visionaries wrestled with was this:

A Love Song for the End of the World descends into the ancient worlds surrounding Yeshua and Maryam Magdalene to recover a way of seeing shaped by apocalypse, heavenly vision, sacred sound, mourning, and radical transformation.
I came to these traditions through my own long education in the powerful and difficult art of endings.
Over the past decade, I have lived through the loss of relationships, countries, possessions, identities, and futures I once believed were permanent. Along the way, neglected Jewish visionary texts became an unexpected mystery school: teachings that helped me meet endings as thresholds.
Maryam Magdalene as a mekonenet (Jewish mourning priestess) became one of my guides through that landscape.
Today, I explore these ancient traditions as a writer, researcher, ritualist, and sacred archivist, asking what their strange and beautiful visions might teach those of us living through endings of our own.

Sacred vocal work is a powerful way to grieve what's been lost and also become curious about what remains.
Jewish tradition has always kept rituals for mourning in public and private, songs of eulogy and lament, and even a entire group of sacred workers who made music for endings.
Your body is the portal from the old world to the new one, as you priestess your own endings.
