Author: Gustafson, Fred

Throughout history the darker aspect of the Divine Feminine has been both feared and sought after, hated and admired. Beginning with a history of the Black Madonna of Einsiedeln, Dr. Gustafson broadens his analysis into a psychological and historical examination of the Black Madonna, from her roots in the pagan deity Lilith and the archetype of the Great Mother to her resurgence as the Virgin in the Middle Ages, culminating in her life today as the largely unheeded unconscious archetype of the feminine. 176 pp.
