Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene is the Holy Source from where the Christ drinks, She is the Force of Light that births enlightenment. She is the Holy Woman who anoints, the one who illuminates, the one who redeems. She is the Feminine Christ of our paradisaical origin. Her Chrism (anointing oil), which is her elixir of love, is the light that awakens Humanity´s fallen Consciousness. She is the womb of the Christos, the Womb of the Divine, and when we reclaim her she leads us to the Primordial Wisdom of all times.
Ana Otero
Mary Magdalene has lived at the roots of the Divine Feminine Principle and made her way to the core of our planet. She is activating the Tree of Life Template in our bodies so that when we awaken, we remember every part of where we come from. Mary Magdalene is leading the change we are experiencing in this world. She completes the "bottom" part of "as above, so below". She embraces all the shadows that we cast and deny. She teaches us ACCEPTANCE in who we are and what we have chosen. She teaches us that the shadows we have denied contain our magic.
She was a wife, partner, and co-teacher with Yeshua. As a co-teacher with Yeshua, they both taught the Way of Sacred Humanity and Ascension. She taught us that we are the Body – Temple and that we must learn how to receive THE HOLY. We are time and space, essence, matter, spirit and the art of creation. She is here to bring us back to ONENESS. In and through HER presence, we are taken into the Bridal Chamber to become Christed.
Mary Magdalene is a doorway to the rebirthing of the soul of humanity and the memory of our sacred roots in the Mother of Creation. Through holy communion with Mary Magdalene, we enter this portal within ourselves where we activate, initiate and awaken our own Magdalene essence. She prepares us and opens us to receive the Holy Spirit. This creative Spirit lives at the base of our universe, as the eternal matrix of the birth of the Mother-Father, and encompasses both man and woman, each intermediate spectrum and all expressions of life.

Ahava Sacred Dance
Ahava Sacred Dance® is a transcendental experience that marries the ancient wisdom of the Aramaic Letters with the holistic principles of Sacred Dance. Created with the deepest reverence and prayer by Ana Otero, this unique dance practice is an embodiment of love, intention, and devotion.
At its core, Ahava Sacred Dance is about connection — to oneself, to others, and to the Cosmic Intelligence. Drawing inspiration from the quantum energy of the Aramaic Letters, each movement becomes a conduit for channeling divine energy. The letters themselves, sacred and full of creation , resonate with frequencies that have the potential to shift, heal, and transform.
When practiced within a community, in the sanctified space of a circle, the dance takes on a deep significance. Participants become part of a dynamic mandala, a living representation of the heavenly realm. As they dance, they anchor the ethereal Light Codes into the Earth, bringing together light, spirit, and matter.
While Ahava Sacred Dance® can be a collective act of worship and activation, it can equally be a personal journey. As an individual practice, the dance becomes an intimate prayer, a moving meditation, and a manifestation of one's deepest intentions and devotions. Every step, every sway, every lift of the arms becomes a conversation with the divine.
In Ahava Sacred Dance®, Ana Otero has not just created a dance; she has birthed a spiritual tool. It serves as a bridge between realms, a harmonization of body and spirit, and a testament to the power of intentional movement. Whether danced in solitude or in communion with others, Ahava Sacred Dance® invites practitioners to a higher plane of consciousness, to a space where every movement is a sacred act of love.
Spiral of the Rosa Mystica
The rose is one of the oldest symbols of Divine Wisdom, the Holy Spirit, radiating love to our world from the invisible ground of the cosmos. In the Christian tradition, the rose was associated with the Virgin Mary and, in the gnostic and alchemical tradition, with Sophia, Divine Wisdom and the Holy Spirit. As an initiatory path, the Sacred Way of the Rose symbolizes the hidden feminine Wisdom Tradition and the Way of the Heart. The rose represents love, creation, fertility, wisdom, beauty, and also mystery. The Spiral of the Mystical Rose is a journey in the Mystical Wheel of Mary Magdalene. Through the Spiral of the Rosa Mystica we receive Mary Magdalene as Queen of Shabbat, embodiment of the Holy Spirit. We awaken the mystical qualities of the Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether to synchronize our energies, life, healing and practices with Mary Magdalene and the Light Beings and Angels that are part of her Lineage. We will work deeply with The Light Conception School through Hathor - Venus - Sarai the Matriarch - Mother Anna - Mother Mary - Mary Magdalene and Sarah Tamar. Yeshua is extremely present in our teachings and the Lunar Masculine through Yohanan the Baptizer and Lazarus.
Magdalene Alaha Shela Ceremonies are specific Magdalene Ceremonies that are aligned to different portals within the Spiral of the Rosa Mystica.
Gates of Initiation.
In the time of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene the New Moon was celebrated with reverence and Devotion. Every New Moon we receive the Christ teachings and Aramaic Alignment connected to the Lunar month through our Alaha Shela Ceremony.

The Training Is For...
If you feel the calling to embody the teachings of the Christ Lineage and become an Priestess - Priest of the Feminine Christ Mary Magdalene and a Wisdom holder for the Teachings of the Desert Rose, this training is for you.
Our Equality Policy
AT the Desert Rose Mystery School we are committed to Racial and Gender inclusivity in our courses, programs and trainings, as every person can come to know the path of the Magdalene Christ and experience Creation Spirituality. Any person may apply to take part in a Temple Training regardless of Race, Ethnicity, Gender Identity, Reassigment and/or Sexual Orientation. Our teachings reflect this vision for Humanity, our School, and future Priestesses and Priests.
This Path is very linked to the word AHAVA. Ahava means love in service, love in action. When we become an a Magdalene Priest - Priestess, we become a vessel of Light that is ready to spread the teachings of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene.
As we step into the realm of divine love, all of our relationships deepen because they are infused with the experiences of treasuring, devotion and reverence. We realize and live the truth that we are both human and divine, perfect and imperfect all the same. We see that our humanness brings us to our divinity and our divinity embraces our humanity.
Walking the sacred path of love, day in and day out, invites us into divine union of body, soul, and spirit, a place where we are driven wild with pleasure and the flames of love burn so hot that they melt away anything that obscures our oneness with love.
In this ecstasy, separation dissolves. All that remains is Bliss and we become again the Vessels that hold the Divine Name.

Creation
Creation is not an event but an endless symphony, a divine dance of energies weaving the tapestry of existence. In every breath, every thought, every beat of the heart, Creation is creating infinitely, echoing the limitless potential of the cosmos within us.
We are Infinity
Our souls are stardust, the echoes of cosmic songs sung across the ages. They are not confined by space and time, but stretch into infinity, carrying within them the wisdom of the ages and the promise of tomorrow. Every soul is an endless voyage, an infinite journey through the cosmos of consciousness.
Cosmic Intelligence
We are one with absolutely everything that exists. When we learn to cycle with and embody the Cosmic Intelligence, we understand that the universe can never conspire against us as we are one in co-creation with ALL.
All Courses, Workshops, and Training Programs are non-refundable at The Desert Rose Mystery School.
Our bodies are the chalices of the Genesis. We are more than flesh and bone - we are the living, breathing psalms of the stars, inscribed in the sacred language of existence.
Ahava,
Ana Otero
