Black Madonna

Thursday, September 22, 2005

The Bombshell continuity Madonna Key will center around a special group of women called the Marians, who are defined by their belief in the feminine aspect of god. Their Madonna figure is black because she incorporates all colors: she is the "All Goddess."

However, there really are Black Madonnas from the Middle Ages, linked often to miracles and Mary Magdalene. Here are links to several interesting articles:
