“The Black Madonna is the female embodiment of God because God is a woman, and She is black. She embraces everyone with Her unconditional love as the Universal Mother.

She, the Black Madonna, will listen and come to you as She has done for thousands of years to guide us out of the dark tunnel into the light.

I firmly believe that the healing power of the Black Madonna is not something of the past; She is as alive today as She was thousands of years ago.”
Alessandra Belloni, Healing Journeys with the Black Madonna: Chants, Music, and Sacred Practices of the Great Goddess

“The Black Madonna is a Christian tradition with origins in pre-Christian devotion to the Earth Mother Goddess and the African Mother. The Black Virgin also represents the womb of the Earth, the dark side of the moon, the universe, the Cosmos, and the mystery of the life-giving woman. Like the Earth’s womb, women’s wombs have often been broken through different types of abuse and unhealthy relationships. As the Earth continues to regenerate herself, she nourishes us, even if we are abusing her with pollution, mining, and global warming.”
Alessandra Belloni, Healing Journeys with the Black Madonna: Chants, Music, and Sacred Practices of the Great Goddess

“Isis especially was portrayed as black while holding her son Horus in her arms, just like our Madonna and Child. Demeter too suffered from the loss of her adored daughter, Persephone. This shows us that there was a primordial matriarchal religion that was substituted by the patriarchal religion in more recent times but which is still alive inside Catholicism with its syncretism and special legends that were derived from the pagan world.”
