One more gem of a discovery while formulating my Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion course on Teachable, was finding a unique modern image of The Black Madonna of Chartres. I was so taken by it, I decided to follow up with the artist, who is a delightful person based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. She has an entire repertoire of Divine Feminine and Goddess images in addition to The Black Madonna, Isis and Makeda - The Queen of Sheba. The interview explores the inspiration and process that Ms Berger goes through where she allows the artistic expression to come forth.Baraka Robin Berger's work can be found through Etsy at Baraka Berger Art www.etsy.com/shop/ArtoftheGoddessShe also has a Facebook page at Baraka Robin Berger Fine Artshttps://www.facebook.com/p/Baraka-Robin-Berger-Fine-Arts-100031786642313/And Instragram at Barakanrobinhttps://www.instagram.com/barakanrobin/To order The Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion course on Teachablelivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-black-madonna-mysterious-soul-companionTo order The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mysterious Messenger of Destiny on Teachablelivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-virgin-of-guadalupe-mysterious-messenger-of-destiny#Blackmadonna #DivineFeminine #Art #SacredImage #Chartres #Labyrinth

For many of us, school is out and the Summer holidays have begun. If you are like me, I enjoy light reading during this time and love to delve into a good fiction novel or two during the longer days and less scheduled weekends. As I was researching for the Black Madonna course on Teachable, the algorithm gnomes recommended The Black Madonna and The Young Sculptor since I was searching titles of other books featuring the subject. I had never read a fictional account of anything to do with The Black Madonna and was thoroughly intrigued by the entire title, which included the phrase " Mythic Dimension of Chartres Cathedral." I followed up with the author Eric G. Müller after finishing the book, and found that he had actually contacted me several years before regarding my book! So the arc has been completed, and the interview I hope will inspire you to purchase and enjoy this book as part of your supper reading selections. Eric is an author, publisher and instructor at the Waldorf Teaching Training Program through The Alkion Center. The Center also has a publishing house called Alkion Press.The Black Madonna and the Young Sculptor can be ordered through Alkion Presshttps://www.alkion-press.com/shop/the-black-madonna-and-the-young-sculptorYou can follow Eric through his Website https://www.ericgmuller.comas well as his social media platforms https://www.facebook.com/ericgmullerhttps://www.instagram.com/ericgmuller/Enjoy!To order The Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion on Teachable, please visitlivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-black-madonna-mysterious-soul-companionTo order The Virgin of Guadalupe Mysterious Messenger of Destiny on Teachable , please visitlivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-virgin-of-guadalupe-mysterious-messenger-of-destiny#blackmadonna #ChartresCathedral #Druids #Anthroposophy #DivineFeminine #France #MontSaintMichel

For this episode of The Black Madonna Speaks, we will be continuing the theme of Native American Marian Apparitions.

This episode will feature a much beloved Madonna who appeared to a Native in Tlaxcala Mexico in 1541. We will explore the unique history between this Madonna and Our Lady of Guadalupe in terms of establishing the dignity of Native Peoples in the Americas. While she is very well known in Mexico, our hope is that Our Lady of Ocotlán can be more familiar to those outside of the beautiful nation of Mexico.To make a one time donation of any amount to support the podcast, please donate tohttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BlackMadonnaHeartBecome a Patron for the channel at https://www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaksTo purchase Black Madonna Speaks extra content, please visithttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shop#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #pilgrimage #mothermary #spirituality #Mexico #Ocotlán #OurladyofOcotlán

The Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico is one of the most beloved images of The Virgin Mary in the world. While the legend surrounding her apparitions and imprinting on the Tilma of Nahuatl Native Juan Diego is well known, Author and Host Stephanie Georgieff has some interesting and unique insights on the meaning of various symbols of the miraculous event. Some of the clues are important in terms of understanding current events and our collective future.The Virgin of Guadalupe Mysterious Messenger of Destiny by Stephanie Georgieff Kindle and Audible https://a.co/d/aFY334tBarnes and Nobel Paperback and Nookhttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-virgin-of-guadalupe-mysterious-messenger-of-destiny-stephanie-georgieff/1136412347?ean=9781513645902To make a one time donation of any amount to support the podcast, please donate tohttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BlackMadonnaHeartBecome a Patron for the channel at https://www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaksTo purchase Black Madonna Speaks extra content, please visithttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shopTranscripts for this episode on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaks#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #spirituality #Guadalupe #Etheric #EthericHeart #Mexico

This episode is a chapter in the upcoming book Wisdom from the South. Black Madonna Speaks Patreon members have been receiving weekly chapters on this book which will hopefully find a publisher in the coming months. During a rewrite and re-recording of the chapter, while witnessing the current state of the world, I felt the message that The Black Madonna was sharing through this chapter was needed at this time of great challenge and trial for all people of Good Will.

One of the tenets of Black Madonnas in Europe is that they tend to be placed along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. This episode explores the connections between the rise of the Cult of Mary, the High Middle Ages and the Spiritual Traditions surrounding both the Camino and the Goddess Natura.To make a one time donation of any amount to support the podcast, please donate tohttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BlackMadonnaHeartBecome a Patron for the channel at https://www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaksTo purchase Black Madonna Speaks extra content, please visithttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shop#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #pilgrimage #mothermary #spirituality #Chartres #Natura #Medieval

We have been exploring many Black Madonnas from the Basque Region of Spain in recent episodes, and I thought it would be interesting and informative to delve into the ancient spiritual traditions of the region. I was correct in that assumption. Mari the Basque Earth Mother Goddess has many qualities which have obviously influenced the Cult, art and folklore of the Virgin Mary along the Northern Camino.To make a one time donation of any amount to support the podcast, please donate tohttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BlackMadonnaHeartBecome a Patron for the channel at https://www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaksTo purchase Black Madonna Speaks extra content, please visithttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shop#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #pilgrimage #mothermary #spirituality #BasqueCoutry #Mari

For this episode, once again we will be exploring a Black Madonna whose the restoration of the original image makes this Madonna lighter than she once was. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aránzazu (Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Aránzazu) is one of the most significant and celebrated religious and cultural sites in the Basque Country. The Sanctuary and the Image of Mary hold immense importance for both its spiritual history and its striking modern architecture.

This episode features Santa Maria de Itziar. Our Lady is one of the Seven Black Virgins of Gipuzkoa, located next to the coastal path of the route to Santiago de Compostela. She is considered as a protective virgin and guide for walkers, as she is on the Camino de la Costa on the route to Santiago de Compostela. Santa Maria is another example of the consequences of restoration, but has a history of gilt silver and then updated to her current presentation. ake a one time donation of any amount to support the podcast, please donate tohttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BlackMadonnaHeartBecome a Patron for the channel at https://www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaksTo purchase Black Madonna Speaks extra content, please visithttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shop#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #pilgrimage #mothermary #spirituality #Spain #Gipuzkoa # Itziar

For this episode, it is short and sweet and features a Black Madonna located in San Sebastian, a gateway city to the Northern Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Her miracles are typical of Black Madonnas in that she does not want to be moved, and that she has saved her community from fires.To make a one time donation of any amount to support the podcast, please donate tohttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BlackMadonnaHeartBecome a Patron for the channel at https://www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaksTo purchase Black Madonna Speaks extra content, please visithttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shop#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #pilgrimage #mothermary #spirituality #SanSebastian #Spain #SantaMariadelCoro

For this episode, we will explore The Virgin of Juncal. This Black Madonna who has since been "restored" is the oldest Marian image in Gipuzkoa and probably in the entire Basque Country. Her shrine is in Irun, and aptly called The Church of Our Lady of Juncal or Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Juncal. The church owes its name to the discovery of a carved image of the Virgin in the reeds growing along the banks of the estuary in around the year 1400.To make a one time donation of any amount to support the podcast, please donate tohttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BlackMadonnaHeartBecome a Patron for the channel at https://www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaksTo purchase Black Madonna Speaks extra content, please visithttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shop#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #pilgrimage #mothermary #spirituality #Gipuzkoa #NuestraSeñoradelJuncal #Spain
