Bright Dark Madonna and the Untamed Trinity

When we encounter the Female Mystery in an up-close and personal way, we are inspired and affirmed.

 

Join Elizabeth Cunningham for a lively evening of ritual, song, storytelling, and guided mediation. Meet the quirky archetypal forces that inhabit her latest novel—face to face...

 

Ma (not your mother’s Virgin Mary) who sings songs of praise—to herself. Revered as a sibyl during her sojourn among the Galatians, Ma makes a pilgrimage to Ephesus where she comes to profound terms with the goddess Artemis.

 

Maeve, the Celtic Mary Magdalen, who is no one’s disciple. Thrown out of druid school, Maeve has been a whore, a lover, a healer, a failed apostle, a woman on the lam, and finally a mother who will go to the ends of the earth to find her runaway daughter.

 

Black Sarah, raised in the wilds of Galatia, who speaks the language of the animals. This mountain child gives everyone the slip and runs away to sea to join the last remnants of the Amazon nation—as a pirate.

Elizabeth Cunningham is the author of the award-winning novel The Passion of Mary Magdalen and of its prequel Magdalen Rising.

 

Bright Dark Madonna is the third installment of The Maeve Chronicles. She is at work on a fourth and final volume. The novels can be read in any order, and each one can stand alone. She has been working on the series since 1991 and has traveled widely to do onsite research, including, for this latest novel, Southern France and Ephesus.

 

The Passion of Mary Magdalen, the centerpiece of The Maeve Chronicles, is Cunningham’s fifth novel, and the book she believes she was born to write. Her other novels include The Return of the Goddess, a Divine Comedy; The Wild Mother;  and How to Spin Gold, a Woman’s Tale (to be re-released by Monkfish). Magdalen Rising, the prequel to The Passion of Mary Magdalen was published in 2007.

 

Cunningham graduated from The New Seminary in 1997 and was ordained as an interfaith minister and counselor. Both The Maeve Chronicles and her interfaith ministry express Cunningham’s profound desire to reconcile her Christian roots with her call to explore the divine feminine.

 

She lives in New York State’s Hudson Valley where she is in private practice as a counselor.

Be with us for this unique evening as Elizabeth unveils her just released novel, “Bright Dark Madonna” and brings the story of a Goddess to life! After her program there will be books available for purchase and Elizabeth will be happy to sign them!
