Sacred & Sovereign

Birthing the Magdalene Within: A Story Alchemy™ Conversation with Astara Jane Ashley

Elizabeth Brett

This is not a traditional interview. It’s a sacred remembering. A devotion to story as a path of reclamation.
In this powerful episode of Sacred & Sovereign, Elizabeth Brett sits down with soul sister and priestess-publisher Astara Jane Ashley for a deep, intentional journey through the origin story of Magdalene Unveiled—a newly released anthology born from grief, reverence, and divine instruction.
This episode is the embodiment of Elizabeth’s Story Alchemy™ method in real time: a slowed-down, heart-led process that distills truth from memory and uncovers the gold within a woman’s lived experience.
Together, they explore:

  • The mystical roots and rebirth of Magdalene Unveiled
  • How Astara was guided to move from burnout to divine service
  • The return to Christ consciousness through the feminine
  • The sacred veil, devotion as practice, and reclaiming sovereign leadership
  • Why storytelling—when held in sacred space—heals the storyteller and the listener

This episode is an invitation into presence. Into prayer. Into the power of one story told fully.Resources & Links:
