This episode continues our theme for September, that of The Black Madonna as a symbol of resilience. The Black Dear Lady of Brussels and the church where she resides offer both hope and inspiration as well as a painful mirror of the dangers we are facing during our polarized time where powerful groups seek to oppress the marginalized in order to distract from responsibilities.

#BlackMadonna #Brussels #Holocaust

For this episode, we will be continuing the theme set by the interview with Dr. Cleveland and her book The Black Madonna: Icon of Resistance and Nourisher of Souls. It is a bit long , but I am feeling moved by current events and also how The Black Madonna is a nourisher of souls especially during difficult times. even when they have been destroyed as the Madonnas were during the French Revolution, the are reborn so to speak. In our times of great trial, I hope we can all join together so as to imagine and then create a new cultural impulse that can heal the wounds being inflicted during our times.

Blessings on Your Journey!

On May 15, 2026 a remarkable document was released from the Vatican under the auspices of Pope Leo XIV. It is called Magnifica Humanitas, the Magnificent Human and is all about how the emerging dominance of technology needs to have a moral counter as well as an approach that maintains human dignity and rights. It got me a thinking as they say, as I feel that while I enjoy and utilize many of the modern technological wonders of our era, there are obvious dangers if it is not encountered in a moral and conscious way. With my research on The Black Madonna as well as The Virgin of Guadalupe, I felt that these images and their narratives have much to offer in the spirit of Magnifica Humanitas. August will feature several Black Madonnas in this theme. This is the first podcast introduces the subject.

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.

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.

In the Spring of 2020, author and host Stephanie Georgieff attempted to publish her second book The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mysterious Messenger of Destiny. We know now, this was a difficult time due to the pandemic of that year which stretched on for several following years. This episode is a reading of one of the chapters where Georgieff visits the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City during the Festival of Guadalupe in December, as well as her experience of the same festival at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. As the book is being revised, the new material is artfully presented in a course through Teachable. This episode is an introduction to the course and a stand alone celebration of modern encounters with The Virgin of Guadalupe.

This episode will explore inspiring Apparitions of The Virgin Mary which have happened relatively recently. These are timely exploration because Our Lady appeared and comforted Christian, Jew, Muslim and Secular people alike. In our time of extreme sectarian violence, the messages from these Apparitions are a reminder that everyone is loved equally by Divinity.

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!
