Time slowly passed before Yeshua returned. In the beginning, in order to endure the loneliness and grief, I sought solace in the silent hillsides of Bethany. I took refuge from time to time with the Essenes at Qumran. There, I enjoyed the companionship of John, who later became known as The Baptist, and Judas, later known as Judas Iscariot.

As in my earlier Egyptian initiations, I went down again into dark cavernous temple chambers where I was sealed up in small spaces, such as sarcophagi. When I had been in Egypt earlier, I had learned some of the basic skills used for stilling my vital signs. I thought I was now sufficiently prepared to practice the more advanced aspects of the Rites of the Sepulchre. While receiving this training I was introduced to the warrior goddesses – ‘the Dark Mothers’ – Sekhmet, Durga, Kali, Demeter and many others.

Soon thereafter we journeyed to Egypt and Greece. Upon our return to Mount Carmel, we celebrated Yeshua’s and my joyful betrothal. Then we made our way to India where I met Yeshua’s brother, Joseph the Younger, and Myriam and Yeshua’s youngest son, Johannes.
