Love Offering

Bring a flower for Isis.

Rev. Karen Tate’s first book, “Sacred Places of Goddess: 108 Destinations,” introduced the Divine Feminine to the mainstream world through the lens of sacred travel. Her latest offering, “Walking An Ancient Path: Rebirthing Goddess on Planet Earth,” moves that idea forward within the mainstream world, suggesting how Goddess Spirituality is relevant in achieving a balanced and harmonious future - and how becoming Her advocate might be incorporated in one’s spiritual paradigm. Likewise, it is a testament to the women and men of Her community who also “walk an ancient path” and embrace the sacred wisdom of the Divine Feminine as they work to restore Her within contemporary culture.

Karen shares: “Their creativity, dedication, faith, passion and love helped shape the last two decades of my life and this book stands as a tribute to them, and so many communities like ours. May our combined energies shine forth through the pages as a beacon of Her love, light and inspiration.”

A message from Karen …

Dearest Friend or Colleague, Perhaps you have been a thread in the sacred tapestry helping restore the Divine Feminine in our time. You may have even been a part of my immediate community that helped inspire some of the chapters in this book. You are an interconnected strand in the web that continues to make contemporary Goddess herstory. Please join together with us to revel in our deeds that stand as a testament to all of us walking an ancient path as we embrace the sacred Feminine Consciousness. Come enjoy this soiree in tribute to Isis, She of Ten Thousand Names. Come in community spirit and gratitude. Come bear witness to our past, present and future as we work in partnership to midwife Goddess more fully onto the world stage.

Enjoy the flashes of the past presented from a visual montage of Isis beach rituals, video clips and group sharing. Come together again as we have done so often before providing the container for the restoration of Her essence and ideals. I hope you will be able to come and reminisce - and hopefully be inspired An evening of entertainment, performances and lovely refreshments await you. – KAREN TATE

“Walking An Ancient Path” will be available at a discounted price of $15 (Retail $24.95).

We are opening this competition ONLY to hand crafted or partially hand crafted objects and naturally occurring objects that you use as an altar piece, a tool, an icon, or art piece and all must be representative of the Divine Feminine and/or Goddess.

Judging We are primarily looking for objects and tools versus fine art or “found” pieces and the judging may reflect that. The categories of judging will depend on what kinds, how many and how many prizes we have to award. The “Best of Show “ award will be judged on how well the piece clearly represents the Goddess it is attributed to, the work the object is intended for, it’s magic and it unique aestheticism.
