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.

The Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico is one of the most beloved images of The Virgin Mary in the world.

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
