Klappentext

What is the Origin of Black Madonnas? The most sacred, holy place in the Cosmos. Where is this? See through the eyes of ancient peoples around the world to not only unlock the icon of Black Madonnas but to also unveil the symbols connected to Her as well as what they refer to in Cosmic space...as expressed through mythic templates, somatic rituals, community traditions and worldwide beliefs of the people of oral knowledge-keeping systems. This book solves the Mystery of the Black Madonna Origins in a way you've never previously experienced because it is revealing what the physical symbols and the mythical symbols point to in celestial space, which is what oral peoples used them to point to. Our challenge in literate society is to overcome our limited access to knowledge that is encapsulated in writing. Writings disappear: they go out of print, they are banned, they are censored and hidden... whatever is left over is copied-and-pasted and referenced by readers until it exists no more, and then new writers conceptualize what the lost meanings were meant to express. Conceptualization is individual, and it comes from whatever knowledge and experiences a writer holds. In contrast, oral peoples record knowledge without writing, and so the methods are symbolic, hidden to outsiders.There is a sympathy involved in this process, where celestial occurrences are matched up with earthly peoples, places, and things that will point back to, or remind us, of their Celestial origin, and these processes are done among groups of people. Black Madonnas are not black skinned people. Black Madonnas are not white skinned people. Black Madonnas are not people at all, but rather a personified reminder of the Black Magnetic Stone Mountain envisioned, by oral peoples, to be not only in the center of the cosmos, but at the center of all Cosmic Motion. Why? Find out in this book.
