This is a call to reclaim a spirituality that has always been ours. Through story, image, reflection, and ritual, the spiritually curious and justice-minded are invited to move beyond dogma and toward embodied, mystical liberation. Written in a voice that bridges scholarship and devotion, this work is for all who are longing for a decolonized, diasporic, and feminine-rooted sacred--one that speaks directly to the soul's hunger for belonging, meaning, and collective healing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on Christian mysticism, Black feminist theology, ancestral memory, and global iconography, this work is both a historical excavation and a contemporary invocation of an iconic figure. Each chapter brings the reader into conversation with a different embodiment of the Black Madonna, from ancient statues hidden in caves to modern artistic visions, illuminating her power as a sacred symbol.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christena Cleveland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798318601866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hay House LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Christena Cleveland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48135869956351,"sku":"9798318601866","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31fe51b9-7be8-4775-a6c1-700310523a23.jpg?v=1770158991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-black-madonna-christena-cleveland-9798318601866","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
