Have you read The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku? There's a history of female led mystery schools in the region at that time historically.

Hi Diane! I am familiar with Murareksu's work after listening to him on the Goop podcast years ago but haven't read his book yet-it is on the list! We pulled a lot of the mystery school and priestess research we've shared thus far from Jesus & the Lost Goddess by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy, Joseph Campbell's work, Marija Gimbutas, and threads through Magdalene-based work. Freddy Silva also has great mystery school work-we loved the Lost Art of Resurrection. But now that you're mentioning The Immortality Key, I will bump it up on our reading list! Thank you for sharing, we can't wait to dive in.

If you haven’t found him already, Dr. Justin Sledge runs Esoterica on Patreon/YouTube and he is very interested in the feminine representations of the regions in Pre-Christian and early Christian developments - you’d probably get a lot out of his channel. His research is thorough and he translates multiple classical languages from the region.
