Names of My Mom; Salome Mary Magdalene

Oh this business of names, and so many languages we must speak! My mother was one of the greatest women who ever walked upon this planet, and here are some of the names she was and is known by:

Salome Mariamne Herodias

Princess Salome of Judah

Queen Salome of Chalcis

(As inscribed on her coin with dad, Aristobulus and Salome coin)

Princess Julia Africana

Princess Julia Iotapa

Our Lady of Jericho

Scribonia

Lady Johanna

Mary of Bethany

Rahab

(Mom's writings come out under the name Johanna as her first husband was John Philip the Baptist, and tradition holds that spiritual writings of a female are credited to her first husband)

Mary Magdalene

(This one is very popular, tracing to a town in Galilee, to her reputation for leading her flock from the watchtower, and of course the reference to Rahab and the Scarlet Thread)

John the Beloved

As it is customary for a woman to write in the name of her first husband, this is the name for my mom that is on the rise, particularly among the most evangelical members of the Way, those now being referred to as Christians.

Names of my grandmother, my father's mom:

Virgin Mary

Queen Helene of Adiabene

Queen Mariamne of Chalcis

Princess Mariamne Boethus

Names of my grandmother, my mother's mom:

Princess Herodias Philippa Aristobulus

Lady Scribonia Magna Crassi

Queen Herodias of Galilee

Yours sincerely,

Yuya Josephus

UPDATE on Green Stocks Investing Network

We interrupt the developing fictionalized autobiography of Emperor Marcus Nerva Josephus with this important bulletin on the progress of the Green Stocks Investing blogs network.

I would say that my blogging time is being spent equally divided among 3 online projects, my clean energy technology blogs network, my own bio on my Joe College punk rock music website, and the progressing autobio of Nerva Josephus, the Jewish-Roman historian and later Emperor who was also a biological son of Aristobulus and Salome (Jesus and Mary Magdalene):

Regarding the Crucifixion and the Destruction of Jerusalem

I agree that Pater Simon Gamaliel has created an epic tale when he personified the destruction of Jerusalem in the crucifixion scenes describing the death of my father, but I resent those who strive to make this the focus of the New Way, whose followers are now being called Christians, after the Greek word chrystos, meaning "anointed" (Hebrew Messiach). Look at all the art of our people, whether of papyrus, animal skin or carved in stone, and you will see two themes; communal eating and human healing, through the laying on of hands.

Marcus makes for a great tale and I wouldn't change a word of it, and in fact there are variant manuscripts already circulating through our communities, and again there's nothing wrong with that. Let's just not lose the focus of what my dad really taught, and that was sharing of food and conversation with friends, neighbors and strangers alike, and the offering of medical and spiritual assistance to souls and bodies in need at any time and any place. The crucifixion may make for a more focused ending than being a casualty of a political uprising, but the danger of uniting under a phallic symbol of death betrays what Jesus lived for, which was the dignity and equality of every man, woman and child throughout the lands.
