  • How to flirt with the universe with Deike Begg

    This is a very special episode for me as I'm interviewing a woman who has impacted my life enormously. I first met her about 4 to 5 years ago, and since then, no matter what life has thrown at me, she's helped me process it with a wisdom like no other. I'm interviewing Deike Begg, who has been a professional astrologer and psychotherapist for over 30 years. She's an expert on astrology, psychic synthesis, synchronicity and mythology. She's a young psychologist. She's also one of the world's leading rebirths and a published author of many books, including Rebirthing Freedom from Your Past, Synchronicity: The Promise of Coincidence, On the Trail of Merlin and In Search of the Holy Grail and The Precious Blood. Her book Synchronicity is my favourite beyond favourite. I read it whenever I'm feeling confused about life, because it's like a warm hug and a reminder that life is unfolding just as it should. Sometimes all we need is a little bit of patience but for people like me patience can be a very difficult thing to cultivate. Deike has just turned 80, and I was desperate to make sure more people were able to receive this incredible woman's wisdom. I hope you enjoy this very heartwarming interview full of wonderful, wise nuggets.

  • What are Black Virgins? 

    Theirs were the great pilgrimage shrines of the Virgin, some still are: Chartres, Le Puy, Montserrat, Rocamadour, Einsiedeln, Walsingham, Loreto, Czestochowa, Altotting, Hal, Guadalupe (Spain and Mexico). All the images are black and there were hundreds more, some destroyed, others whitened, others disappeared, but many still exist, either in the original sites or in museums. In the West they are classically small statues from the 13th Century, thrones of wisdom with the divine child bolt upright, facing forward. The recurring refrain from the Song of Solomon ‘I am black, but I am beautiful’ links them to the Queen of Sheba.  

    No one wrote books about them as a special category called “Black Virgins” until the threshold of WW2. Are they of any interest to us today other than devotional or historical? 

    Their re-emergence, and the many apparitions of the Madonna, have coincided with other signs of the times, pointing to a change in the dominant ideas of consciousness, away from patriarchal one-sidedness. These include the successes of the women’s movement; the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Gnostic library and the Dead Sea Scrolls; shamanism; the Gaia hypothesis; Jung’s depth psychology; the spread of Buddhism in the West; renewed investigation of animal cave paintings; epic fantasy and the literature of magic and spiritual communities from Esalen to Findhorn. 

    Jung called this the “right time for a metamorphosis of the the Gods”. The Black Virgins, the most important still living symbol of the Christian age, heralds the return of the Goddess, who is Nature and our mother, the Earth.  

    Ean Begg is author of The Cult of the Black Virgin.
