I told you I would be asking alot of questions.

I have been searching the internet, and reading material, but can't seem to find the answer to this. I hope someone here can help me.

What were the seven sins cast from Mary of Magdala?

HI,
It seems it was seven demons, not seven sins. But I did find somewhere they implied the seven demons stood for the seven deadly sins: pride, envy,gluttony,lust, anger,greed, and sloth. Not sure if this is what you wanted, hope it helps.

Seven demons.
When a demon is removed it leaves an empty space and if that space isn't filled, they will come back in force. The man on the shore who lived in the cave...When Jesus asked what is your name (speaking to the demon inside the man) The demon answered... Legion (meaning many) They asked not to be sent off.

Mark 5:10
"My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many." And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

Jesus agreed and sent them into a heard of pigs and the pigs ran into the water and drown.

When we walk away from our sinful ways, we need to replace them with other things or we may find that we return to our old ways. The addict that needs find new friends and stop going to some of the old hang outs.
Holds true on the physical level but more important it holds true on the spiritual level.
You have turned from your old ways and now fill your mind with reading the bible.
You are in safe hands by continuing on the right path you are on. Protected by the Lord and replacing old thoughts with God's word.

I guess I am trying to find out more about Mary Magdalene. When I was using, I used to pray to her. I believe she kept me safe when I was prostituting and was in situations that I should not have come out of alive.

I keep reading about seven sins, or seven demons being cast from her, but I can't find out specifically what they were.

I recently found out that she is the patron saint of reformed prostitutes. I know I believe in her power and pray to her.
