This is a miraculous story. This is a story of angels and saints. It has been given to help us remember that we are not alone. It is being shared to help us remember that what we consider miraculous is right here with us all the time. It has come from on high to encourage us so that we may truly understand that what we seek is within and that what we yearn for is only a breath away.
My journey into this Heavenly realm began in the midst of a long and very debilitating illness. I received a vision of Jerusalem and was given information about Mary Magdalene. I was told of a connection between Mary and me. Soon after writings emerged in the form of stories, prayers and poetry. Mary’s words soothe, heal, encourage and inspire and they touch deep within, emotions and memories long forgotten.
This magnificent experience has magnified the beautiful knowledge that we are all one. Mary Magdalene has blessed me with her presence, her memories and her heart. She invites you to open your hearts and merge with the divine words written upon these pages. She encourages you to ride the vibration of the sacred emergence of the Divine Feminine and to ignite the flame of remembrance of all that you are.

Book Excerpt
We were walking
we were holding hands
he helped me up an incline
and we were looking out across an expanse
he was telling me that he had come to right the wrongs
to open eyes
he said my role was the same
he said I would be remembered throughout time
that my name would be spoken
that I was the symbol of beauty and strength, courage and unity
I would inspire, as he inspired
and one day our names would be spoken together
side by side
as was meant to be
and one day my teachings would be reborn
he said, Mary, you are shining and golden
you hold the keys to the truths of the universe
heaven and earth shall merge
as once again
you will open their hearts
with your words and your heart
speak Mary
for the sound of your voice
is the resonance of heaven itself

Readers Comments
Reading , The Heart of Love, I was reminded of the ancient Jewish legends of Miriam’s well – according to legend a well would miraculously appear wherever the children of Israel set up their camp, and the prophetess Miriam would lead elders from among the women of the twelve tribes in heart songs, which invoked water from the well. The Heart of Love, as the title implies, reads like a heart song of a woman inspired by St. Mary Magdalene, the Holy Bride – delightful.

The great feminine archetype of our time, Mary Magdalene, has arrived at last. She speaks to us through a multitude of voices, learned and wise, through plays and poems, lectures and books, for all to see and read and contemplate. But only a few sings so lovingly and free, directly from the heart as when The Magdalene speaks through Gail Swanson in her wonderful book The Heart of Love : Mary Magdalene Speaks.

I purchased your book and agreed to write you with my reactions.
Well, your book sat in full view all this time. Occasionally I would skim certain sections. Suddenly, about two weeks ago, I was compelled to read the complete book. I found myself transported visually and emotionally into the time and the events described. I felt a strong connection to Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Jesus. I re-read many sections, especially some of the poems & prayers, trying to commit the words into my heart. I listed the pages I most want to refer to; to read to the meditation groups I facilitate and to friends. Thank you for finding the courage to write The Heart of Love. I feel everyone should be reading your book! I definitely plan to check out your website.

Dear Gail,
I wanted to let you know how deeply touched I am by your book The Heart of Love. The title of the book sums up my experience - There is a beautiful vibration of love that I feel when I am reading the words and it speaks directly to my heart. As I read I feel such peace and hope ~ a deep sense of remembrance and empowerment. I can feel the truth that resonates so deeply within her words ~ Thank you for gifting the world with these messages from Mary Magdalene. This book is one that will never be placed on my bookshelf ~ After reading it through two times, it now sits on my night table so I can begin and end my day with a message that opens my heart and speaks to my soul.
With Gratitude,

The Heart of Love- Mary Magdalene Speaks touches you from deep within, awakens the soul to remember our beginning and stirs the heart to sing. I was reunited with Jesus and the beauty of his message of teaching Love in its purest form…knowing it was time for me to move beyond the crucifixion, beyond the resurrection to live helping others if only with a smile. By reading this book one connects within and falls in love with humanity. Often I open the book randomly to receive the message for the day as it fills me up with the brilliance of Love.

I took myself off to Siesta Key for breakfast yesterday and read The Heart of Love from cover to cover. I don't have words to tell you the impact it had on me. I feel as if something I have always known in my bones has been validated. Thank You.

Deeply moving book full of poetry that shows us the deep love that Magdalene and Jesus feel for each other, a love that describes Jesus in his full human and Divine nature. Now I have another Mary to pray to in the heavens. Thanks for allowing me to discover her. It was most important in the life and mission of Jesus on earth. People need to know for the manifestation of the Divinity of the Feminine energy in the world.

I read your book late into the night for I could not put it down. The poetry is heart-rending. It touched my heart so deeply and the tears just kept flowing. No printed matter has ever done so before. The story you've related, through your own remembrance of it, shows the love shared between all of them and a glimpse into the strength and love of Mary Magdalene's heart; so strong and pure. Thanks for finding the courage to share the regression - it will surely touch many more hearts as it did mine. A lot of the passages also seemed to directly answer many of my current doubts and questions about being myself no matter what. Somehow, I feel the need to read it over and over again- it is just one of those books!

When reading this book,I felt that Mary Magdalene was speaking to me personally and I found encouragement, comfort and inspiration in her timeless words of wondrous Truth. This is not just a book , it is a Miracle and a Blessing to be shared, awakening the remembrance of our own Divinity and the eternal presence of Love and Compassion. Mary speaks of our innate ability to Heal in times when all else has failed and reveals the place of everlasting Peace. Truly a magnificent gift to give from one loving heart to another!

Just looking at the cover of this book, one's heart begins to open. Gail Swanson is among the earth angels asked by Mary Magdalene to deliver her extraordinary messages of love and reconciliation. I cherish the time I spent with Gail, and now can reconnect to the Divine Feminine she embodies each time I read one of her stories, prayers or poems.

The Return of Mary Magdalen Mother Mary and other Holy Women
This is a timely and readable portrait of one woman's astonishing initiations into intimacy with the Divine Feminine. Gail Swanson brings the reader into a living dialogue with Sacred Mystery. The Heart of Love - Mary Magdalene Speaks is a wake-up call to all people of Faith who long for global healing at the deepest level.

Thank you so much for sending me a copy of your beautiful book, The Heart of Love. I felt, having looked at your website, that the book would tell the story of Jeshua and Mary Magdalene in a different and unique way. And it does. It is pure beauty, poetry and magic. The power of the feminine to transcend and heal is clearly shown. I love the little details of their lives. Their love of nature, walking together. She the serious one. He making her laugh. The beauty of their love for each other. A truly wonderful love story and an inspiration to us all. This truth has been lost for 2000 years, but it is now re emerging. You are not the only one to tell the story, nevertheless you tell it in a special way. I strongly felt the importance of the role the two Marys - Mary the Mother and Mary the lover - can play in everybody's life. They are there now, for each person, as they were for Jeshua. One only has to ask. And it is important to do so! Each person, male and female, needs to awaken to this divine feminine energy! Jeshua was not about rules and regulations. He did not teach boundaries or limitations. He taught about love and freedom. He was and is pure love. There is such beauty in this and your book captures it.Thank you so much,

Heart of Love has a wonderful lightness of divine love permeating all through it. The book came to me at a crucial time in my journey and for that I give thanks... a beautiful message of the great importance of women and men at last coming into full bloom to walk in the power of the divine love of the feminine...thank you Gail for so willingly sharing Mary Magdalene's beautiful message.

I have really enjoyed reading and re-reading The Heart of Love : Mary Magdalene Spwaks. This is a beautiful journey, reviving the soul and remembering. It is a great help to balance the feminine energies in total universal harmony. As I was reading I could fee the Golden Light, smell ethereal scents and hear celestial sounds and I want to be with them in all eternity. I hope this manifest shall reach out in the world to comfort and heal.
