The truth about Mary Magdalene’s life—especially regarding her training under Isis or involvement with sex magick—is not found in canonical historical records but rather in a mix of esoteric traditions, Gnostic scriptures, and modern mystical interpretations.

She is the Scarlet Woman of the Book of Revelation, "arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones," seated upon a beast with seven heads, holding a golden cup in her hand.
