//-->Rave Reviews forSacred Places of Goddessby Reverend Karen Tate“Goddess veneration works to restore a balance that Tate writesexisted thousands of years ago. 'In the beginning, God was a woman, andfrom her womb she created all that is; thus she is all things and all thingsare her…. That was true 30,000 years ago, and for millions it is still truetoday,' she writes in her book.Sacred Places of Goddessstarts in Europe and Asia Minor andmoves through the world to the Americas. Tate chose sites based on theirhistorical, spiritual and cultural significance or for their physical richness.The book is a user-friendly guide that provides background informationon a site’s ancient or new importance. Some sections have warningsabout deterioration at some sites; these are called “Gaia alerts,” afterthe Greek goddess personifying Earth.Some associations are expected — Cyprus with Aphrodite, theParthenon with Athena and Egypt with Isis. Others are sites whereChristianity, Judaism or Islam has long overtaken pagan worship and thedivine feminine has been absorbed or supplanted by those traditions.”—Los Angeles Times“A small percentage ofDa Vinci Codetourists are proponents ofthe divine feminine beliefs at the core of the book. For them, visitingplaces connected to historical and mythological female figures whosestories have purportedly been suppressed in a matter of enlightenmentand healing, of spirituality and faith, said Karen Tate, author ofSacredPlaces of Goddess: 108 Destinations.”—ChicagoTribune“SacredPlaces of Goddessprovides both travelers and generalreaders with a vast array of information.
