Mystery of the Black Madonna
A recent article entitled the "Mystery of the Black Madonna" speculates on the origin and meaning of the numerous Black Madonnas found in Europe. Those who read my blogs would know that this mystery is connected to the mystery of the feminine dark waters and the dark mirror that is the Matronita. She has no light of her own but is the immaculate mirror that reflects perfectly the Glory of God back to God as mentioned in the Book of Wisdom. She is the mystery of the Dark Night discussed by St John of the Cross. It is also Our Lady symbolised as the moon (who has no light of its own) that reflects the light of the Divine Sun.
