Nigra sum sed formosa
filiae Ierusalem
sicut tabernacula Cedar
sicut pelles Salma
Chant of Chants, 1,5
In the shade of the Biella mountains, near one of the most sacred places in the area, a meeting
dedicated to the sacred and symbolic dimention of the feminine, its archetypes and to the
enigmatic aspect of Black Goddesses, such as Isis, which image was transformed into that of
the Black Madonna, present in this area at Oropa. A long journey through psyche, spirituality
and history. The worship of Black Madonnas, transposition of a more ancient cult of the divine
feminine, spread from the mediterranean area to Northern Europe, images of an ancient and
deep-rooted devotion.
Symbols of a universal archetype of the feminine inner dimention, this chtonian aspects of the
divine feminine can speak not only to those who are linked to new forms of spirituality, to
religions that exalt the Goddess, but also to laymen and to other religions. We will approach to
this dimention through different perspectives, psychoogical, symbolical, historical and above all
through the spiritual evolution to redescover and understand her role.
