[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Yes the black madonnna is a continuation of Isis worship, but over and above all it is a symbol of the blackness of the universe as the womb of creation. Many of the black deities around the world have the same symbolism including those from Ancient Egypt. Black skin=creation=infinite unseen creative force of god in universe. Just like white=light=sun=the physical symbol of gods infinite beneficial presence in creation. Duality. Mary/Isis=veil of creation=mystery of creation=fertile universe that births gods seed =physical manifestation of gods hidden infinite creative force=mother nature Horus/Jesus=sun=son=gods seed in flesh=birth of physical universe from unseen force in nature But that symbolic aspect was subsumed later by a more sinister political/social aspect. In this form, the white jesus and mary (which is not a phenotype that would have been predominant in Nazareth at that time anyway) are simply a form of idealized man/woman, and the holy family an archetype of the royal family where divine rule was the basis of the rule of kings. And from this came the conquests of later years where the same iconography was used to push the European phenotype and bloodline as the basis for colonial dominion over all others. So given all of that it is extremely interesting to see that Europe still has the vestiges and legacy of the old icons showing the historical basis of the image of Mary and Jesus being based on the earlier Egyptian form. I have said this many times, but man makes god in his own image. And this is true in every culture no matter what, even though some do use animals and mythical creatures at times. [/QB][/QUOTE]
