The Black Madonnas are said to possess a special miraculous power. Their origins can be traced back to Celtic and Germanic times. Later, the influence of the Cathars and Templars played a significant role. For Begg, the black goddesses embody the search for lost feminine knowledge. They express feminine wisdom, the earthly and primordial aspects that have been separated throughout the cultural process, and thus serve as a symbol for the reconciliation of religion and the healing power of nature. The book also acts as a guide, revealing the individual cult images and their locations along with their legends.
