![]() ![]() ![]() Maeve first becomes a reluctant whore, and then goes on to become the most coveted prostitute in Rome. She’s bought by a brothel madam, the greatest domina in Rome, and from then on, the adventure never stops. Here we meet our protagonist, in the story being narrated by her. The book though starts off in a Roman slave market, in the city that all roads led to. She’s the daughter of warrior-witches, from distant Celtic isles, foster-daughter to a great Celtic king, and trained in the lore and wisdom of druids. The second most famous woman of Christianity in this story is a wild, beautiful, red-haired Celt. The passion turns out to be full of religious imagery and wild fiction, but turns out to be a rollicking entertainer with a most remarkable story and wonderful style. I half expected another pulp-thriller that wove between religious imagery and wild fiction. After all, Mary Magdalen was a hot commodity, especially after The Da Vinci code. ![]() I started reading Elizabeth Cunningham’s The passion of Mary Magdalen with a little bit of caution. “My name,” I said one more time, “is Maeve Rhuad…….I am the daughter of the warrior witches of Tirna mBan, daughters of the Cailleach, daughter of the goddess Bride…”Īnd so it begins, one of the most remarkable adventures I’ve read in recent times. ![]()
