At the time of the posting of this episode , i Western Christendom is in the Middle of Holy Week. During "normal times" Pilgrims tend to flock to various Holy Sites throughout Jerusalem and the surrounding areas. Each one of these sites, shrines and churches marking the places of Christ's Passion were discovered and developed by Saint Helen. She is also responsible for bringing numerous Black Madonnas to the European Continent in the 4th century. This episode explores those connections.Many Blessings on your Holy Week Journey!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/TheBlackMadonnaSpeakshttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shop#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #pilgrimage #mothermary #spirituality #STHelen

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

If you have been wanting to know more about the mysterious Black Madonna, this episode is for you! Last week I shared the amazing book, The Black Madonna, Mysterious Soul Companion by Stephanie Georgieff. This week we dive deeper as I share this special interview with the author herself and hear about her own miraculous journey with the Black Madonna! Let me tell you a bit about her: Stephanie Georgieff is a podcaster, author and speaker whose works surround the Divine Feminine through an Anthroposophical lens. She has led workshops and participated in Anthroposophical and Christian Community Conferences in North America, Europe, the United Kingdom and Southern Africa. Author of several books on The Black Madonna and The Virgin of Guadalupe, Georgieff now resides in Southwestern Bulgaria where she is serving with The International Fellowship of Saint John. She works with Roma in the region and manages the foundation guest house which hosts visiting mission teams from North America, the United Kingdom and Europe. Georgieff can be heard through her weekly podcast The Black Madonna Speaks available wherever one accesses their programs. In this episode, she shares her own journey of discovering the Black Madonna and the miraculous things she has learned and witnessed over the years. We also discuss the connection with Mary Magdalene, especially all through the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I hope this interview inspires you as much as it inspired me! Ps- if you want the link to her book, click here for the show notes And to listen to it in her own voice, click here for a FREE 30 Day Trial to Audible.com! Key Learnings: The Black Madonnas pre-date Christianity. They are based on the original mother image from Africa, the Great Cosmic Mother, the darkness from which all life emerges. The two patron saints of the Camino de Santiago in Spain are St. James the greater and St. Mary Magdalene. James represents the inner path, Mary Magdalene represents the outer path, the sensual path, the path of nature. The Black Madonnas want to be seen. Go on pilgrimage to visit them, and see them with your own eyes. This is the path of the Black Madonna. “The path of the Black Madonna is a never-ending journey!” Stephanie Georgieff To purchase the book The Black Madonna – Mysterious Soul Companion, click here Click here to find out more the Black Madonna Speaks podcast and her books I recommend listening to her book!

Who is the Black Madonna? Or more appropriately… WHAT is the Black Madonna? Throughout Europe there are several Black Madonnas, images and icons of a Divine Mother with Dark Skin. These images have mysterious origins and even more mysterious stories associated with them, such as healings, miracles and other inexplicable events. In this episode, I share a special book about the Black Madonna by author Stephanie Georgieff, which beautifully combines historical research, mysticism and her own personal journey with the Black Madonna. In my own experience, the Black Madonna makes Herself known when you need Her most, especially during times of great change. I am so excited to share that next week my special guest will be the author, Stephanie Georgieff! Ps- if you want the link to the book, click here for the show notes. And click here for a FREE 30 Day Trial to Audible.com! Key Learnings: The Black Madonnas are statues and icons that are believed to originate in Africa and have traveled north to areas of Europe. It is believed that St. Luke is the creator of many of these madonnas, though none of them have any markings to indicate who created them. Stephanie Georgieff takes us through her own journey of discovering the Black Madonna, and combines her story with historical research and a profound understanding of mysticism. When the Black Madonna makes Her presence known to you, expect great change and transformation. “The Black Madonna often emerges in times of great change, to remind us we are not alone.” I recommend listening to this book!

Isis is probably the most well known goddess of the ancient Egyptian pantheon. She is the Great Mother and a guide into the feminine aspect of the Divine. The Black Madonnas of Europe, and the earlier cults of Cibele and Hecate all trace at least some of their influence back to Isis worship.Isis is a healer and comforter. She is in fact a master healer and master magician, who resurrected her beloved Osiris, gathering the pieces of him throughout the land and bringing him back from the dead. In that, she is the precursor of both Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary, forever embodied in the Pieta of Michelangelo...

Author and broadcaster Chine McDonald has never seen a black representation of the Virgin Mary. Black Madonnas are statues or paintings of the Virgin Mary and the Infant Jesus, where both figures are depicted with dark skin. They can be found both in Catholic and Orthodox countries. There are thought to be at least 450 of them in the world and there are more Vierges Noires documented in France than any other country in the world. Chine visits the Queen of Peace in the convent church of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in Paris, accompanied by expert guide Dr Christena Cleveland. She travels to Orleans to see the Black Madonna statue: Our Lady of Miracles in the Chapel Notre Dame des Miracles. And cultural historian and University of Oxford based author Prof Janina Ramirez explains current thinking about the origins and cultural significance of the Black Madonna.
Friends of the Rosary, Today, December 9, we celebrate the Memorial of Our Lady of Loreto. This title refers to the house where Mary was born in Nazareth, where the Word was made flesh at the Annunciation. Tradition says that a group of angels miraculously transported the Holy House first to Loreto, on the Adriatic Sea coast of Italy, at the end of the thirteenth century. The shrine of Loreto has been known as a Marian center for centuries. By the 14th century, this shrine in Loreto was one of the most famous shrines to Our Lady in Europe. The Shrine of Loreto has always been highly regarded by Popes, and it is under their direct authority and protection. There is a replica of an ancient statue of Our Lady, one of the “Black Madonnas,” which is found there. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • December 10, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Imagine healing from surgery in a miraculous way…or seeing a vision of the Black Madonna over your bed and hearing instructions for your life's purpose... These might seem like far-fetched stories to you and me, but for today's guest, this is the story of her life. Last week I shared her book, Healing Journeys with the Black Madonna. This week I am thrilled to introduce you to the author of that landmark book, the one and only Alessandra Belloni! Let me tell you a bit about her: Alessandra Belloni is an internationally acclaimed award-winning singer, percussionist, author & teacher, artistic director of the Italian Folk Music Dance Theater Company I Giullari di Piazza, and artist in Residence at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York City. For the last 20 years she has been leading special workshops, tours and pilgrimages in the South of Italy and in Sicily teaching drumming and ritual dance and taking people from around the world to the sacred sites of the Black Madonna. She discovered that the ancient practice of ritual drumming can help women heal both physical and emotional issues. In this episode, she will share her miraculous journey of discovering the Black Madonna and the path of the Great Goddess, including her own miraculous physical healing! Alessandra shares amazing stories of healing, as well as the origin of the Black Madonna and how connecting with Her connects us to everything. I hope this interview inspires you as much as it inspired me! Ps- if you want the link to her book, click here for the show notes. And to listen to it in her own voice, click here for a FREE 30 Day Trial to Audible.com! Key Learnings: The Black Madonnas pre-date Christianity. They are based on the original mother image from Africa, the Great Cosmic Mother, the darkness from which all life emerges. Alessandra, though born in Italy, came to live in the United States as a teenager. She had a powerful connection with the Divine Mother since she was a child, she shares with us her miraculous encounters with the Black Madonna and how she learned how to help women heal. The Black Madonnas want to be seen. Go on pilgrimage to visit them, and see them with your own eyes, this is the path. Many people make annual pilgrimages to Italy and other places where the Black Madonnas reside as part of the spiritual path. “The Black Madonna represents the Great Cosmic Mother and the darkness from which all life emerges.” Alessandra Belloni To find out more about her work, visit https://alessandrabelloni.com/ You can also find her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AlessandraBelloniArts On IG: https://www.instagram.com/belloni.alessandra/ I recommend listening to her book!

A woman's spiritual path is a healing path. Having an image of the Divine that looks like you, sounds like you, lived like you…and IS you, is the heart of this healing path. There is no better book that I can recommend to support your healing journey than Alessandra Belloni's miraculous book, Healing Journeys with the Black Madonna. She takes us on her own miraculous journey of discovering the Black Madonna and the path of the Great Goddess, and how she discovered an ancient way to help women heal both physical and emotional issues. In this episode, I share the chapter that Divine Mother asked me to read to you! It is about the Black Madonna of Tindari, a very powerful and healing form of the Black Madonna. I am so excited to share that next week my special guest will be the author, Alessandra Belloni! Ps- if you want the link to the book, click here for the show notes. And click here for a FREE 30 Day Trial to Audible.com! Key Learnings: 1. The Black Madonnas are statues and icons that are believed to originate in Africa and have traveled north to areas of Europe. There are seven of them in southern Italy that are referred to as the Seven Sisters. 2. Alessandra, though born in Italy, came to live in the United States as a teenager. She had a powerful connection with the Divine Mother since she was a child, but in this book, she shares with us her miraculous encounters with the Black Madonna and how she learned how to help women heal. 3. The chapter I read, chapter 7, is about the Black Madonna of Tindari, Sicily. It takes us through her first encounter with this Madonna, including experiencing the magic of the earth in this magical area. Miracles are in every chapter of this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the ancient path of the Goddess! “The Black Madonna is the female embodiment of God because God is a woman, and She is black. She embraces everyone with Her unconditional love as Universal Mother.” Alessandra Belloni I recommend listening to this book!

Cybele is the ancient Anatolian Mother Goddess of Earth, harvest, abundance and motherhood. She was worshipped in the black stones of antiquity, and is still worshipped in the Black Madonnas of Europe. Working with the channel of Cybele aligns feminine energetics and physical health of women especially. The channel of Cybele is the channel of yin-magnetism and attraction. It increases sensuality, sexuality and feminine softness. We are coming home to pre-historic Mother Goddess religions. Ultimately, Cybele helps re-build our relationship with Earth as a Mother. In this class, I first introduce you to Cybele, her myth and worship through audio-visual presentation. We will then conclude with a guided journey and initiation into the mysteries of Cybele through meditation.

This Episode of The Black Madonna Speaks we venture to Wales in the United Kingdom. Our Lady of Penrhys is similar to other Black Madonnas in that the original image was discovered in a tree and she was destroyed in the era of the Reformation. Associated with a healing well, her inspiration never was erased, and several copies as well as a shrine exist to the day. Our Lady is part of a Marian Pilgrimage throughout Wales.

Since the turn of our current century, a plethora of scholarship has been completed on The Black Madonna. While these scholars and researchers are adept at their task, there is a bit more to the story regarding how these images became objects of veneration throughout the centuries. Author and host Stephanie Georgieff builds on the scholarship but weaves an Anthroposophical and Esoteric Christian insights into the symbolism and meaning of the Black Madonnas for our time.

I hope you enjoyed the series on Mary Magdalene as much as I did. We will return to our regularly scheduled programming by exploring the Black Madonnas of the world! For this episode's Madonna, we will focus on an image that is near and dear to Pilgrims in Germany. Our Dear Lady of Altötting may not have many of the themes of other Black Madonnas, but her narrative and miracles associated with her are inspiring nonetheless. Blessings on your Journey!

As we begin the journey of Lent, once again, it occurs during a pivotal time in the evolution of humanity. The day of the posting of this episode is Valentines Day, as well as Ash Wednesday in the Western Christian tradition. For this weeks episode, I will be exploring the theme for Lent this year: the Transformative Nature of Lent with the Black Madonna. The episode will explore the material I have been contemplating and developing for awhile now, why the Black Madonnas of Europe tend to be discovered underground, in caves, buried and so on, and how this relates to many mysteries of the Incarnation and the return of Christ in the Etheric during our times. I deeply hope you can feel all the love that surrounds you. If you would like to receive the content of this journey, please consider becoming a Patreon supporter. Blessings on your Journey!

The image of the Madonna and child appears on nearly every Christmas card and is at the centre of every nativity scene. But in most of these images, Mary looks European, a white woman with fair hair. Yet there are also Black Madonnas – and they're often seen as particularly powerful. Liz Adekunle finds out about the rich history of the Black Madonna and her relevance to Christians today as they celebrate the birth of Christ.
Friends of the Rosary: As our journey of conversion continues and we prepare to celebrate the nativity of Christ, on this Second Sunday of Advent we also celebrate the Memorial of Our Lady of Loreto. The title of Our Lady of Loreto refers to the holy little house in Nazareth in which Mary was born and took place the Annunciation — the Incarnation when the Word became Flesh. Tradition says that a band of angels took the house from the Holy Land and transported it first to Tersato, Dalmatia in 1291, then to Recanati, Italy in 1294, and finally in the 14th century to Loreto, in the Adriatic Sea coast of Italy, where the Shrine of Loreto has been for centuries. The large basilica is one of the most famous shrines of Our Lady in Europe. One of the ancient statues of “Black Madonnas” is found here. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Our Lady of Loreto, Pray for Us!

Is there a lineage of goddesses that claims the evolutionary power of female sexuality? And if so, why were they pushed to the shadows and demeaned as harlots? Was Mary Magdalene one of them, and what were her teachings? Looking into esoteric traditions that celebrated the Goddess and her art of sexual alchemy, Dr. Joanna Kujawa sets out on a detective journey to answer these questions to discover Mary Magdalene stands at the center of this investigation. Learn about her portrayal in the gnostic gospels as a teacher in her own right and Jesus' intimate partner, the possibility of her life as an alchemist in Egypt, and her last years in Southern France. Find out if Mary Magdalene was the same person as Mary the Prophetess of Egypt and her connection to the mysterious Cathars, Black Madonnas, and Knights Templar. Whether looking at Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Aphrodite, Inanna, Hathor, Isis, or the goddesses of esoteric Hinduism, Dr. Kujawa finds the archetype of The Other Goddess (https://www.amazon.com/Other-Goddess-Magdalene-Goddesses-Knowledge/dp/1945026847/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+other+goddess+kujawa&qid=1677632193&sprefix=the+other+goddess%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1)-the bearer of the mysteries of sexual alchemy that ends the division between sexuality and spirituality *In this episode: * Who was Mary Magdalene really? Why was Mary Magdalene branded a “harlot” by patriarchy? What is sexual alchemy and how does it play a role in our spiritual awakening? Why is eros a powerful energy that women need to reclaim? Why do archetypes such as Mary Magdalene have so much meaning for women today? How does a tantric relationship potentially initiate a man through feminine eros? Mary Magdalene is portrayed as the first Apostle of Jesus in gnostic texts - is it true? Why scholars often get it wrong about Mary Magdalene. Why is the Gospel of Mary Magdalene relevant today? How do the other Goddesses extend higher consciousness to humanity through eros? Dr Joanna Kujawa is the author of The Other Goddess: Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge, scholar, and spiritual detective. She received her BA and MA from the Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada, and her PhD from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. As an active academic for over 20 years, she uses her scholarly training to investigate topics other academics often pass over, such as: Can spirituality and sexuality be experienced as one? Who was the real Mary Magdalene? Is there a lineage of Goddesses now resurfacing in our collective experience of spirituality? Apart from her writings for academic publications on spiritual travel, Joanna has also had her short stories and essays published through various media and in many prestigious anthologies, including Best Australian Stories, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, She Rises. She is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Goddess Studies. The Other Goddess was translated into Mandarin
