THE BLACK MADONNA

Forgiveness – Hospitality
Minorities – Exclusion

With arms open in a gesture of total embrace, the Black Madonna appears as an archaic, primordial figure. Her dark face is not darkness, but deep memory. She is the ancient Mother, the hidden root of the sacred feminine, who has endured millennia remaining alive under forgotten forms. This card is a powerful call to origins, to that silenced wisdom that belongs to those who have been marginalized. It speaks to minorities, to excluded voices, to those who walk far from the spotlight. It also speaks of comfort, inner protection, and a knowledge that does not demand proof, but simply remembrance. The Black Madonna neither excludes nor judges. She welcomes and forgives. In her shadow is a trace of truth yet to resurface, a promise to heal ancient wounds and restore voice to those who have been silenced.

Therefore, dear one, if your subconscious has chosen this card, it may be trying to tell you that:

If the card speaks about you – Light

You have access, at this moment, to an inner source of ancient wisdom, perhaps until now ignored or underestimated. It is your connection to the deep Mother, to an origin that precedes and sustains you. The card invites you to practice welcoming yourself and others, and to experience forgiveness as a key to liberation.

Questions for you
– In which part of you dwells wisdom that transcends time, coming not from the mind but from the blood?
– Are you granting yourself the right to belong to a story that has always existed?
– Where can you open your heart to welcome and forgiveness, within or outside yourself?

If the card speaks about you – Shadow

You may feel excluded, ignored, or relegated to the margins. The card asks: are you really alone, or are you following a path only a few can see? What is invisible now may guard your most authentic strength. It is time to acknowledge the wounds of exclusion without judgment, offering forgiveness first to yourself and then to others.

Questions for you
– Where do you feel excluded or marginalized, and what does this condition teach you?
– What inner wound or experience of marginalization deserves your forgiveness?
– How can you transform your shadow into a space of welcome and silent strength?

If the card speaks about the world – Light

Questions for you
– What forgotten knowledge or voices are emerging in your life or society?
– How can you welcome and spread wisdom and forgiveness to those who have been excluded?
– Where are minorities or marginalized cultures asking for attention and respect?

If the card speaks about the world – Shadow

Questions for you

– Who or what is systematically excluded, and how can you respond with welcome?
