Kim MarieHOST
Everything was on edge.
Kim MarieHOST
But I know that relating with the dark mother, the black Madonna, as she's known, our lady of Guadalupe, that wise crone of winter, I know that helped me begin to relax, to settle, to know that someone, something bigger than me, had my back and she guides us at this time into the underworld the depths of our soul to find what lies deep within it so what if we let her hold us instead of us trying to hold everything what if we trust her what would it take for you to do that that might be worth asking yourself I had a childhood image in those going to church and Sunday school.
Kim MarieHOST
I remember hearing the minister tell a story about this woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars.
Kim MarieHOST
And she was about to give birth, and there was a dragon waiting to devour the child.
Kim MarieHOST
Not at all.
Kim MarieHOST
As we shift into these darkest times of the year, into this winter time, then we become pregnant with our own becoming.
Kim MarieHOST
And this image of this woman, who is now represented in many of the images of the Mexican Our Lady of Guadalupe, and there are other Guadalupe figures of Black Madonnas that have been designated as well.
Kim MarieHOST
But this figure of this radiance, standing so calmly and so peacefully upon the moon with that dragon below, and radiating out from her being and crowned with the stars.
Annabel Du BoulayGUEST
A fire glows in the center of the chamber and beside it sits the crone with her cauldron of Arwen.
Annabel Du BoulayGUEST
She may come to you as Cara Dwyn, as Morgan Le Fay, as the Black Madonna, or perhaps in a form you've never seen before.
Annabel Du BoulayGUEST
So just noticing how she appears to you.
Annabel Du BoulayGUEST
And just sitting down before her now in the dark belly of the barrow on this eve of the Celtic new year, the beginning of a whole new Venus cycle and asking her for her guidance.
7 MINS LATER
Annabel Du BoulayGUEST
As Hecate holds her flaming torches aloft and guides Persephone out of the underworld.
Annabel Du BoulayGUEST
so too will she guide you out of the underworld, through the other world and into your rebirth.
Annabel Du BoulayGUEST
I'm just giving thanks now to Venus and Inanna, to Lilith, to the Black Madonna, Morgan Le Fay, to the crone and her cauldron, to the nine morgans, the ravens and the crows, giving thanks to your ancestors, your mother line, your father line, knowing and trusting that you can return to this sacred barrow the dark tomb womb of the black goddess whenever you choose but for now just taking a deep breath in coming back into your body into this present moment stretching out your arms your fingers taking another deep breath in And when you're ready, just gently opening your eyes.
Annabel Du BoulayGUEST
Welcome back, beloved.
Kailea HoneybeeHOST
And you could call them potions or just beers, right? So it's just such a cool practice that she has a relationship to And then she also speaks to, and what I really wanted to bring in actually in this episode, you can go listen to learn a lot more about the herbal brewing parts, but in this episode, in the snippet that I share, it's more about the mythology and some of the mythology that we can connect to in.
Kailea HoneybeeHOST
In ancestral European lands, if we have European ancestry, things like the Black Madonna in France, or she also speaks to the descent of Inanna and just like that particular myth and how powerful that is.
Kailea HoneybeeHOST
And I think just for this time of the year.
Kailea HoneybeeHOST
It is very powerful and honestly for my personal time of my life and I think so many of us are just passing through what we might call thresholds or what we might call portals in our lives.

Kailea HoneybeeHOST
were actually considered to be sacred plants in some way or have some kind of impact on our lives.
Kailea HoneybeeHOST
And so we can work with those, you know, they were worked with in many more ways than just medicinally inside our bodies.
Heather WolfSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I've read that the Gitans actually say, well, she's not one of the Black Madonnas.
Heather WolfSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
She's unto herself a goddess, but she's dark-skinned.
Beebe BahramiGUEST
So it was kind of fun to see that still reinforced, but I think also the, cult of mary there's some really great uh scholarship on the cult of mary in europe that her cult you know while it was always there and you know some of these little chapels or holy wells early on that in in the countryside that that were the church was trying to christianize and they would say okay well you can keep making offerings at the well but instead of making it to the ankhana make it to mary and so they were like okay so i name change same same energy same being So that was going on, but as the church rose and rose and became far more controlling and very, very masculine with this elite male leadership, the cult of Mary very curiously also started to just almost boom, you know, just explode.
Beebe BahramiGUEST
And you see a lot more like the Black Madonnas of Europe come out of that tradition and the Notre Dame you know, in the Gothic churches and tradition comes out of that.
Beebe BahramiGUEST
It's like people still needed to see the feminine.
Nancy ReynoldsHOST
Love it.
Cissi WilliamsHOST
The Celtic goddess Ceridwen, who brings a cauldron of healing, transformation, magic and rebirth.
Cissi WilliamsHOST
The loving, compassionate Black Madonna.
Cissi WilliamsHOST
And the Greek ancient mother Hecate, who with her burning torches light up the path.
Cissi WilliamsHOST
before you.
36 MINS LATER
Cissi WilliamsHOST
The Celtic dark goddess Ceridwen is here with her cauldron of magic and transformation.
Cissi WilliamsHOST
and the Dark Goddess Hecate holds up her burning torches that light up the right path for you.
Cissi WilliamsHOST
And you also feel the loving and compassionate presence of the Black Madonna.
Cissi WilliamsHOST
They will all be your witnesses here in the Underworld.
Ryan GableHOST
Right? Now, here's another example of the Black Buddha, but it's not a Black Buddha.
Ryan GableHOST
It's a Black Madonna.
Ryan GableHOST
I'm sure you can guess what people think of the Black Madonna.
Ryan GableHOST
People think the Black Madonna is proof that Christian holy figures were Negroid.
Ryan GableHOST
Great.
Ryan GableHOST
That makes sense.

Ryan GableHOST
So you might want to be a little bit nicer to them, especially if the banks here decide to do what the speculation and rumors are.
Ryan GableHOST
They might really shake up the international economy.
Ashley Marie EllenbostHOST
And this is something that endlessly fascinates me.
Ashley Marie EllenbostHOST
And when I spent time in Italy, visiting the dark caves of Mother Mary and visiting the statues of the Black Madonnas in all of these villages, it became so clear to me that there is something universally revered about the dark face of the mother.
Ashley Marie EllenbostHOST
And whether we call her Mary, whether we call her Isis, or whether we call her Baba Yaga, there is something in her darkness that calls to our own unconscious and maybe unseen forces that rest inside.
Ashley Marie EllenbostHOST
For thousands of years, The dark feminine has been repressed, has been shamed, has been told that she doesn't have a seat at the council.
ReneeHOST
You know what I mean? Like revelation is very powerful.
ReneeHOST
It's one of the reasons I really love working with Black Madonna is energy and stuff.
ReneeHOST
So I did learn that Pope Leo was diagnosed with lung cancer and, and it's just so sad because I really do think he's, he's a great guy.
ReneeHOST
And he's, he's obviously got a lot that he's going to go through right now.
Timothy Warren HoganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so they had also found these statues of Isis with the baby Horus sitting on her leg.
Timothy Warren HoganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the Templars started to bring replicas of these over into Europe, and these became the early Black Madonna statues that can be found all over Europe.
Timothy Warren HoganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They reasoned that if Mary Magdalene was a priestess of this tradition, and she represented the Sophia, that those myths of Sophia probably came from these myths of Isis.
Timothy Warren HoganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And that the Black Madonnas then concealed this terrible secret that not only did all this tradition probably come from Egypt, that Mary Magdalene was probably a priestess of the Isis tradition.
Timothy Warren HoganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
jesus himself was probably pat
Heather BereaHOST
just remember probably probably probably wanting you to buy into it probably seducing spirits right behind you're going yeah you don't you think that's what it is your bible ain't it i don't know you've been told wrong you don't even know what you're talking about because you got to go through mary magdalene who was having having sex with jesus that said he was god Okay.
Adelle AngelicGUEST
