Walking An Ancient Path; Rebirthing Goddess on Planet Earth
Walking An Ancient Path: Rebirthing Goddess on Planet Earth
Author: Karen Tate
Publisher: O Books
Category: Pagan, Goddess Spirituality, Religion, W Level: All
 A spiritual and socio-political look at the emerging Feminine Consciousness and how to incorporate those ideals into one's life. Endorsed by the Joseph Campbell Foundation. See reviews on Amazon, author's website and media page at www.karentate.com
The Sacred Feminine, whether viewed as an archetype, ideology or heavenly deity, has been stripped from our cultures, religions and psyches for several milennia. But we are starting to remember her 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. In Walking An Ancient Path, Tate takes us on a timeless journey to sacred places and invites us to reenact the sacred rites, while challenging us to transcend the sentimental tone of many in the Goddess movement. Instead she summons us to understand and retrieve the values of a society that honors the Divine Feminine - inclusion, equality, reciprocity and interdependence. 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 save itself.
Walking an Ancient Path takes us on a spiritual journey by one of the foremost pathfinders of the Goddess movement. Rosemary Clark, author of The Sacred Tradition in Ancient Egypt

Olivia Robertson, Archpriestess, Co-Founder of the Fellowship of Isis

Jaynie Aydin, PhD , World Arts and Cultures, University of California, Los Angeles
Walking an Ancient Path by Reverend Karen Tate is another important step in understanding what the now almost fifty year old Women's Spirituality movement is all about. It is not a "New Age" phenomenon, it is not about maligning men and their history, it is not a trend, but it is about celebrating the idea that women have their "own" ancient human and spiritual story; and that we are not accidental humans or an afterthought of God. Karen, as with her book 108 Sacred Places of Goddess, is right on point about how to place the Divine Feminine, integral to the life of ancient societies, into contemporary context. I know Karen as Reverend, Scholar and Friend and I highly recommend this book to seekers, researchers, academics and related professionals. Jayne DeMente, MA WSE, Founder & Director Women's Heritage Project/Magdalene Boutique & Cultural Arts Center
