The Middle Ages produced some of the most amazing women mystics in western history. But rarely do we get insight into the entire mystical life of a person in the way that we do for the 13th century German Mechthild of Magdeburg. Her "Flowing Light of the Godhead" is an amazing - if not at times shocking - record of the experiencing being taken into the luminous relationship of the Trinity, the courtship and blissful consummation of love with the Divine and yet finally falling into the very hellish pits of alienation from, and yet, with the Divine. Mechthild's work is a true surviving treasure of mystical piety, phenomenology and literature: explore it in this episode!
