Sadly, Mary Magdalene fades off the scene after the Gospel writers are done telling of her encounter with Jesus at the tomb and her testimony to the disciples about what Jesus proclaimed to her.
Extrabiblical documents, one of them the "Gospel of Mary" written in Greek dating back to the second century, exalt Mary Magdalene over the male disciples of Jesus and provide important information about the role of women in the early church.

 The Gospel of Mary Magdelene? You decide.
According to Cayce’s readings, the soul that was Mary Magdalene (#295 in the Cayce.les) began her incarnations in this world as the princess Amliea in Atlantis, with a talent for maintaining the life force in physical bodies through magnetic treatments, presumably using the famed Atlantean crystal.
She joined with Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the disciple John’s household, which was composed of Mary Magdalene, Elois (sister of the Mary that was the mother of John and James), Mary the mother of Jesus, and, of course, the disciple John.
Cayce says that, like her brother, Mary Magdalene became a kind of “monument, as a memorial, to the activity of the Christ life upon the life of a soul” in this world because she had been a “sinner” and was purified and energized to a new way of thinking and acting.

Mary met every qualification but one to be included as an Apostle, she not male.
