The Sacred Feminine, whether viewed as an archetype, ideology or
heavenly deity, has been stripped from our cultures, religions and
psyches for several millennia. But we are starting to remember
its roots and origins. She is the missing piece of the
spiritual, cultural and political puzzle that can address the human
conditions of suffering that plagues the planet. Writing from
the heart, Tate's enthusiasm, passion for justice, and vision of
love and enlightenment is personified in the concept of the Sacred
Feminine. Thus she aids readers both new and familiar with
Goddess to reawaken this knowledge, to experience once again the
nurturing arms of the Mother, and perhaps help humankind to save
itself.
Moving, Inspiring and Practical!
Walking an Ancient Path is a moving, insightful and inspiring
book, filled to overflowing with experiences, anecdotes,
thought-provoking ideas and practical suggestions for making Goddess
a transformative living power in our lives and in the world. From
Karen's extensive travels to Goddess sites around the globe, to
meaningful rituals here at home, there is something for everyone in
this heart-felt book. The book includes many b/w photos from
worldwide Goddess temples as well as contemporary imagery and altars
to the Sacred Feminine by 21st Century devotees. As a
Goddess-centered, Isis-focused person, I found Karen's book to be a
healing balm for the Goddess-soul in us all - women and men alike.
