Mary the First Alchemist

Today on Sense of Soul podcast we have Dr. Jenny Martin, she is a psychologist, sexuality educator, and visionary guide at the intersection of sex, science, and spirituality. She is also the host of “Why Didn’t I Know”, a podcast about sex and spirituality.   In this illuminating conversation, she introduces us to the ancient wisdom of Mary the Prophetess—also known as Mary the Jewess and, in some traditions, Mary Magdalene—recognized as the first alchemist of the 1st century. Her teachings, preserved through the Greek Philosopher Zosimos in the 3rd century, they reveal a profound lineage of sexual alchemy that has long been hidden from mainstream narratives. Dr. Jenny shares her groundbreaking work on the Psychedelic Cervix Model, a transformative approach to female pleasure rooted in the unique genital-brain connection. She explains how, through lovemaking or childbirth, women can naturally activate psychedelic states of consciousness—unlocking mystical experiences that have both scientific and spiritual foundations. In this episode we explore the forgotten legacy of Mary the Prophetess and her alchemical teachings. The science behind sexual pleasure as a gateway to expanded consciousness. How the cervix plays a central role in mystical experiences and healing and its impact on women and their partners. Reclaiming ancient feminine wisdom for modern transformation. This is a sacred invitation to reimagine pleasure, healing, and spiritual awakening through the lens of ancient alchemy and embodied science.
