While this popular Medieval Hero seems a bit different when it comes to exploring The Black Madonna, the inspirations of Prester John are actually quite relevant not only to the subject of The Black Madonna but also for our current times. I hope you enjoy this week's Black Madonna Speaks, wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to the First Sunday in Advent! For the next few Sundays, The Black Madonna Speaks will explore the Divine Darkness of this special season leading up to Christmas. We hope this will be a sacred time for you as you prepare your hearts and souls for the birth of the Divine within!

#advent #christmas #Anthroposophy #TheChristianCommunity #Divinefeminine

At the time of the posting of this episode, we are on the brink of Advent. Note that episodes will be posted on Sundays until Epiphany in celebration of this sacred time. Divine Darkness is a concept that is woven through The Black Madonna. As we explore this dark time of year in the Northern Hemisphere as well as ancient practices of Christianity, it is an invitation to honor our natural rhythms and create space for Divinity to speak to us.

The Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico is one of the most beloved Madonnas in the world. Garnering more yearly pilgrims than the Vatican, the Image imprinted on the Tilma of a Nahuatl peasant nearly 500 years ago continues to defy logic. One of the more miraculous aspects of the Image of Guadalupe is the stars upon her mantle. This episode explores the mysteries behind what the stars represent as a lead up to the festival which happens in early December every year.

The date of the publishing of this episode is during All Hallows Tide Triduun, from October 31st through November 2nd. Commonly known as Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls day respectively, these are times to reflect on those who have passed. Our Lady of the Good Death from Clermont- Ferrand is a beautiful image for this season.

Mont Saint Michel is the fairytale island castle with a UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Off the coast of Normandy, Mont Saint Michel is the most visited heritage site in all of France, which is saying quite a bit. With a history as turbulent as the rugged coastline it is part of, Mont Saint Michel is a fascinating testament to the evolution of the mysteries contributing to human consciousness through the ages. Mont Saint Michel has always had a dark goddess or a Black Madonna associated with its ritual communities. This episode will explore the Black Madonna of Mont Saint Michel and what she invites us to recognize in ourselves and in our current era. #TheBlackMadonna, #TheBlackMadonnaSpeaks, #DivineFeminine, #MontSaintMichel, #EsotericChristianity, #Anthroposophy
