Following the internationally acclaimed Gold of Kings, Storm Syrrell returns in the compelling story of The Black Madonna.

There, the scarred visage of an icon provokes ever more startling questions. Is she prepared to confront both earthly and spiritual powers? Storm remains haunted by lessons in love and betrayal that lie just outside her grasp. But hesitation now holds mortal consequences.

It is not easy to quickly or simply answer the question of what the Black Madonna actually represents. One answer leads to more questions which in turn demand more explanations. A possible reason for this turmoil lies in the difficulty our culture has always had in consciously integrating the feminine side of life, and especially its dark side. Another reason is the nature of the dark feminine itself, which defies attempts to give eternally fixed limits to what she represents. Still, she reflects herself in our personal and collective lives and gives intimations of her most essential meaning through images, myths, dreams, and fantasies. If we are willing to receive and be open to such phenomena, we stand a chance of not only knowing in part what she might represent but, more so, experiencing the healing force she embodies in our time. This darker aspect of the feminine has throughout history been both feared and sought after, both hated and admired. The Black Madonna of Einsiedeln stands among the many Black Virgins that seem to imagistically express this dark side of the feminine in a creative transformational manner for both the individual and the collective. Beginning with a history of the Einsiedeln Madonna, Dr. Gustafson broadens his analysis into a psychological and historical examination of the Black Madonna, from her roots in the pagan deity Lilith and the archetype of the Great Mother, to her resurgence as the Virgin in the Middle Ages, to her life today as the unheeded unconscious archetype of the feminine.

Why they are generally found in power spots in the countryside with an increased energy level? Why is in France the figure of the Black Madonna closely connected to Mary Magdalene? Answers to these questions can be found in this book. This book not only introduces scientific explanations for the earth's higher level of energy in power spots with Black Madonna-statues, but also traces the Dark Mother in France throughout the ages and varying cultures. She is manifested in the Black Venus from primal times, in the Black Primal Mother Mari of the Basques, in the black Ancient Mother Ana of the Celts, in Oriental Black Goddesses from Classical times such as Black Isis, Black Artemis, Black Cybele and the Black Venus; and finally in Black Sara, who is the tribal mother of the European gypsies. Furthermore, this book links the many Black Madonna-centers in the South of France with Mary Magdalene, who was responsible for introducing a female friendly Christianity. Her presence is one of the explanations why France has so many more Black Madonna-centres than other countries. This book then traces the Black Madonna via the Merovingians, the Crusades, the Cathars and the Templar Nights, culminating in her golden age in the 11th, 12th and 13th century, and explains why in later centuries she was destroyed, transformed and 'whitewashed' into a white Mary. The Black Madonna has a black face, but sometimes displays white hands or is carrying a light-coloured Child. Symbolically speaking, she plays with Dark and Light and integrates this on both a collective and an individual level. By doing so, she is announcing a final end that at the same time will also be a new beginning; a new period of spiritual awakening. Chapter 10 offers a impressive list of 450 Black Madonna centers in France with short descriptions, arranged by department. This renewed inventory mak

Download and read online ebook The Black Madonna Within write by Tataya Mato. This book was released on 1994. The Black Madonna Within available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This is the story, in words and pictures, of one woman's quest for wholeness and release from despair. Fighting the scars of abuse and a war-ravaged childhood, Tataya Mato looked inward - to her dreams and active imaginations, and to her drawings, which increasingly became pervaded by the luminous presence of the divine feminine figure, the Black Madonna. Long a folk image in Europe, the Black Madonna archetype has recently begun to appear in the dreams and other unconscious material of hundreds of North American women and men. Some Jungian thinkers have identified this striking phenomenon with the emergence of a latent feminine force, demanding conscious recognition. The collective dream pattern, so often in advance of consciousness, here asserts a new caring relationship to the Earth and all its creatures. The Black Madonna Within includes 191 of Tataya's drawings, offering insight and healing through their development from the earliest and most naive images to their more matureartistic form. The drawings are accompanied by the artist-author's poignant narrative text.
