Pagan Portals - The Divine Feminine - by Karen Tate (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The Divine Feminine is the missing puzzle piece answering life's big questions.

Divine Feminine; Deity, Archetype and Ideal, tracks the evolution of Goddess as the First Thought and Creatrix of the World, into her descent and erasure, then comes back full circle, to her ascent and return to heal humanity. From history to heresy, everything is fair game as Tate defines the Divine Feminine, her relevance, as aspirations and solutions. Spiritual ideas that shaped culture are examined, as are worship practices, including sex and intentional travel, to explore the depths of the Divine Feminine in the cradle of civilization and beyond. At this time when humanity is seeking answers, Divine Feminine delivers. Tate weaves multiple interdisciplinary threads, providing the missing puzzle pieces that answer life's big questions in a concise and understandable way. Explore the sacred trident of the Divine Feminine - deity, archetype and ideal - in this tour de force by prolific author and interfaith minister, Karen Tate. In this, her eighth book, she promises revelations and epiphanies for women and men and offers a vision for a shared future of dignity, equality and unity.

Review Quotes

In Divine Feminine as Deity, Archetype, and Ideal, Karen Tate pulls together decades of Goddess-centered thealogy, philosophy, and lived spirituality into one accessible place. Writing in her usual inspirational, reverent tone, Tate clearly outlines three thematic manifestations of Goddess: as a Divinity known to humankind since our beginnings; as an archetypal figure, reflected in our psyches; and as a ideal to live by and to improve the world around us. Throughout this book, Tate reaffirms the enduring significance of Goddess Spirituality, from it's ancient origins and 20th century revival, to the celebration of the Divine Feminine in the present day. Tate's lifelong commitment to the Goddess as Deity, Archetype, and Ideal is evident through this devotional and thoughtful book, and will leave a positive, lasting impression on readers.--Dr Olivia Church, author of Pagan Portals Isis, Sekhmet, Osiris, and Idunn
