Magdalene Unveiled- An Anthology

Flower of Life Press is pleased to introduce a new anthology project...

Welcome, Sister, to the Temple of the Magdalene...

In this sacred space, your voice is cherished, and your story is a gift to the world. We invite you to join us in a collective journey of love, healing, and feminine power, where your words offer truth for the collective.

Magdalene Unveiled: Discover the Path of Love, Healing, and Feminine Power is more than an anthology; it is a sanctuary for the heart and soul. Share your message, embrace your unique path, and let the light of your story shine.

Your voice matters. Let's unveil the divine within and weave a tapestry of stories that inspire and empower. Join us in this sacred mission.

In these times of global change and awakening, the archetype of the Magdalene serves as a potent symbol of women's empowerment and spiritual transformation. The Magdalene represents the divine feminine's wisdom, compassion, and strength. She embodies the qualities of a healer, teacher, and spiritual leader, challenging traditional narratives and paving the way for a new understanding of feminine power.

This powerful anthology brings together a diverse array of 22 remarkable voices, each woman sharing their stories of finding the path of love amidst life's challenges, offering a unique perspective on the mysteries and wisdom of Magdalene.

From her ancient roots to her modern-day resurgence, this book delves into the hidden truths and spiritual teachings that have inspired generations. Birthed onto the page inside of a deeply-held, sacred space of sisterhood, these voices resonate with authenticity, vulnerability, and strength.

Join us on this adventure to sharing your wisdom, where judgment is left behind, and the power of shared experience illuminates the way forward.

This book will release on Magdalene's Feast Day, July 22, 2025.

There are 22 chapters available.

The foreword will be written by Elayne Kalila Doughty, CEO & Dean at Priestess Presence Temple and School of the Sacred Arts.

"Astara is a savvy business magician. I can only tell you that I had been talking about writing a book for decades (yes, literally!) and now that I'm working with her, it's actually getting done. I've cried, rung my hands, cussed a blue streak and all the while, Astara has held the nerve."
~Kimberly Firewalker

"This magnificent container of sisterhood, created by Astara Jane Ashley, has been nothing but pure joy. It is a loving, brilliant process, completely organic from the start, and also extremely organized. Combined with the amazing writer soul sisters she will meet on this journey, I can think of no better container where a woman could write her story. I am filled, just filled with gratitude. There’s alchemy here you can’t underestimate. Your promotional materials are beautiful and so easy to use! My FB banner has 70 likes!! And many, touching congratulatory comments....I’ve been floating all weekend. Thank you so much for supporting us. It’s so appreciated.”

Hi, I'm your book midwife, Astara...

Before I founded Flower of Life Press in 2009, I was a Transpersonal Psychotherapist, Art Therapist, and accomplished Creative Director within the realms of a larger international publishing house. This is where my high professional standards and keen intuitive abilities to midwife women's stories and voices were born.

As an author advocate, my mission is to uplift the voices of women inside of a strongly-held container of creativity and non-judgment. I have been a featured speaker on telesummits, podcasts, and stages such as NYC's Lincoln Center.

As a soon-to-be-ordained Priestess of the 13 Moon Mystery School and a Scent Priestess trained in the Rosa Mystica Mystery School, I am devoted to supporting you to embody your sovereignty, elevate your consciousness, and breakthrough any internal barriers… to a level of presence, passion, and power you never dreamed possible.

My team and I now spend our days supporting writers, like YOU, to birth their books and oracle card decks and become bestselling authors who are seen as experts in their field.

Our goal is to preserve the vibration of your unique message and present you to the marketplace in your utmost authenticity.

As your book midwife, I'm here to witness your journey, support your process, hold your hand through it all, and provide a platform that elevates you and spreads your unique message as you step into your leadership and make the impact you desire.

You’ll get incredible support, community, and accountability

In this potent writing portal, YOU and 21 other Voices of the Divine Feminine will each write and submit a 3000-word chapter, to be professionally edited, designed, and published on Magdalene's Feast Day, July 22, 2025.

As you write, you’ll have access to an inspirational community of other writers via our private FB group, and LIVE access to Astara during your 1-on-1 deep dive call and during our LIVE workshops.

We'll walk you through the entire process of writing your story and becoming a published author, and teach you how to market and sell your new book. With all of your co-authors committed to share this powerful collection of essays with their communities, our collective impact will be epic!
