174 If one accepts Margaret Starbird’s notion of Hieros Gamos, i.e., in older sacred marriage rituals, a woman who represented the Goddess and the land was wedded to the king. Some of these old ceremonies included a ritualistic slaying of the king, either symbolically or literally, after he was married to the priestess-goddess. In the symbolic slayings, he would then rise again in a mystical resurrection echoing the cycles of death and rebirth evident in nature. To that extent, it would be perfectly legitimate for Mary Magdalene to be ‘killing’ Jesus.
