At the time of the posting of this episode, we are on the brink of Advent. Note that episodes will be posted on Sundays until Epiphany in celebration of this sacred time. Divine Darkness is a concept that is woven through The Black Madonna. As we explore this dark time of year in the Northern Hemisphere as well as ancient practices of Christianity, it is an invitation to honor our natural rhythms and create space for Divinity to speak to us.
