  • "Why are more than five hundred of the Madonna images black or dark? Why is so little known about them? Are black Virgins a resurfacing of the powerful pagan goddesses of sexuality, the underworld, and earth wisdom, or are they are symbols of power and majesty, or the other side of the traditional Madonna: virginity or tender maternity? They personify the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant in a quest for lost feminine wisdom and the search for soul."
  • ""Why are over 500 of the world's images of the Madonna 'black' or 'dark'? And why are they so little known?" "Ean Begg's fascinating book investigates the pagan origins of the phenomenon as well as the heretical Gnostic-Christian underground stream that flowed west with the cult of Mary Magdalene and resurfaced in Catharism at the time of the Crusades, especially with the Templars."--Jacket."
