Cloaked in Protection

The Fierce Protection of the Black Madonna of Monsterrat,  Silver rectangle

The Black Madonna of Montserrat is venerated on an ancient hill above Barcelona, the site of an ancient temple to Venus. For thousands of years the Divine Feminine has been venerated on this site, and this statue represents not only the Christian incarnation of such energy but all manifestations of the powerful protection of women. Remain seen, loved, and protected with this talisman. The Divine love of the Virgin Mary is unmatched and unwavering. Her many facets provide elevated, multidimensional protection, allowing you to journey through the unknown with peace of mind. Engraved in this silver talisman, we see her cradling her baby, waiting to heal and protect the inner child that lives within you.

I bought a collection of these antique solid silver talismans from one of my favourite dealers in Catalunian antiquities in Barcelona. We have five altogether, each quite different. Every one is over 150 years old and were originally worn by women to invoke the protective power of the Black Madonna. Catalonia is a state with a fierce history of resistance to colonial violence, and the Madonna of Montserrat is the patron saint of Catalonia. Via Fora! (Out to the Streets!)

The divine love of the Virgin Mary is unmatched and unwavering. Her many facets provide elevated, multidimensional protection, allowing you to journey through the unknown with peace of mind. Engraved in this silver talisman, we see her cradling her baby, waiting to heal and protect the inner child that lives within you. This token will only ever bring blessing to the bearer and blind those who wish to hurt you with its radiance. Remain seen, loved, and protected with this talisman.
