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.

For this episode, we will explore The Virgin of Juncal. This Black Madonna who has since been "restored" is the oldest Marian image in Gipuzkoa and probably in the entire Basque Country. Her shrine is in Irun, and aptly called The Church of Our Lady of Juncal or Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Juncal. The church owes its name to the discovery of a carved image of the Virgin in the reeds growing along the banks of the estuary in around the year 1400.

One of my first episodes of The Black Madonna Speaks featured this beloved Polish Black Madonna. In that episode I read from my book The Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion. It has been a while since I wrote that chapter as well as creating the podcast. In honor of the Festival of the Assumption of Mary which occurs each August 15, I thought I would revisit and expand a bit on that first episode since much scholarship has happened since then.

It is May, the Month of Mary and also the anniversary month for The Black Madonna Speaks. We now have three years of programming completed, and in the process have become a trusted source of information and discovery on The Black Madonna. For this episode, a chapter of Byzantium and The Black Madonna will be read by author and host Stephanie Georgieff. The chapter is entitled "Ephesus, Artemis and The Dark Virgin" and explores the evolution of the mysteries of Ephesus from ancient times through the early centuries of the Christian Movement. This fascinating overview shows how The Black Madonna may have been influenced by such mysteries and what such an evolution has to offer us in our modern era.

Here we are, the sixth week of Lent, more commonly known as Holy Week. The final Sunday of Lent is considered Palm Sunday, an echo of that triumphant entry of Christ Jesus into Jerusalem as he began the most significant week of his earthly mission. The Mother of God of the Bull, or as she is known to her Catalonian community of Olot : Mare de Dèu del Tura, will be our exploration for this time. Our Lady of Olot is of note for this last stretch of the Lenten journey, particularly due to one of the folk customs regarding her and the small children who are brought to her as they begin to walk.

We are entering what some would call the home stretch of the forty day journey towards Easter. For this fifth week of Lent, we will be exploring the vast history of Our Lady of Peńa de Francia in Catalonia. Not only does our Lady of Peña de Francia involve various histories due to the fact that her origins involve the geographical fluid region between France and Spain, she also incorporates much of the uniqueness of Spain in its multi ethnic and cultural heritage. To top off her symbolism, The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Peña de Francia, where the Spanish image is currently housed, is a place of pilgrimage.
For this week's episode we will explore a Black Madonna of Spain. Cabeza is also the name of the mountain where she was discovered Our Lady of Cabeza is a Marian apparition and statue of the Madonna and Child, whose cult is centered at the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza. The Basilica is located in the Natural Park of the Sierra of Andújar, 32 km north of the city of Andújar, Spain. Her story is a fitting focus for this period of our Lenten Journey.

Our Dear Lady of Altötting may not have many of the themes of other Black Madonnas, but her narrative and miracles associated with her are inspiring nonetheless.

As we begin the journey of Lent, once again, it occurs during a pivotal time in the evolution of humanity. The day of the posting of this episode is Valentines Day, as well as Ash Wednesday in the Western Christian tradition. For this weeks episode, I will be exploring the theme for Lent this year: the Transformative Nature of Lent with the Black Madonna. The episode will explore the material I have been contemplating and developing for awhile now, why the Black Madonnas of Europe tend to be discovered underground, in caves, buried and so on, and how this relates to many mysteries of the Incarnation and the return of Christ in the Etheric during our times. I deeply hope you can feel all the love that surrounds you. If you would like to receive the content of this journey, please consider becoming a Patreon supporter.

The period after January 6th is considered Epiphany. For this weeks podcast , we will be exploring the Medieval and Renaissance art of one of the Magi: Balthazar. Depending on the source, Balthazar is considered to be of African origin, however sometimes Caspar is considered from this continent. Starting in the mid 1400's more and more Western European Nativity art depicted, and identified Balthazar as African. As always, art is reflecting deep messages from the spiritual world.
