The rose has long been revered as a symbol of the sacred feminine. The  "Way of the Rose", in connection with Mary Magdalene, refers to a spiritual path emphasizing the divine feminine, particularly through the symbolism of the rose and its association with Mary Magdalene. The delicate petals, vibrant colours, and sweet fragrance of the Rose reflect its beauty, love, and grace, while its thorns remind us of the need for boundaries and protection. Throughout history, the rose has been associated with goddesses and divine figures like Isis, Hathor, Mother Mary, as well as Mary Magdalene, priestesses who embody wisdom, strength, and compassion. This path draws from these various traditions, including ancient Egyptian and Celtic lore.  The path centres around practices like prayer, meditation, and embodiment of feminine wisdom, seen as a way to connect with the sacred feminine to find healing and initiate one's transformation.
