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.
