Rave Reviews for
Sacred Places of Goddess
by Reverend Karen Tate
“Goddess veneration works to restore a balance that Tate writes
existed thousands of years ago. 'In the beginning, God was a woman, and
from her womb she created all that is; thus she is all things and all things
are her…. That was true 30,000 years ago, and for millions it is still true
today,' she writes in her book.
Sacred Places of Goddess
starts in Europe and Asia Minor and
moves through the world to the Americas. Tate chose sites based on their
historical, spiritual and cultural significance or for their physical richness.
The book is a user-friendly guide that provides background information
on a site’s ancient or new importance. Some sections have warnings
about deterioration at some sites; these are called “Gaia alerts,” after
the Greek goddess personifying Earth.
Some associations are expected — Cyprus with Aphrodite, the
Parthenon with Athena and Egypt with Isis. Others are sites where
Christianity, Judaism or Islam has long overtaken pagan worship and the
divine feminine has been absorbed or supplanted by those traditions.”

Los Angeles Times
“A small percentage of
Da Vinci Code
tourists are proponents of
the divine feminine beliefs at the core of the book. For them, visiting
places connected to historical and mythological female figures whose
stories have purportedly been suppressed in a matter of enlightenment
and healing, of spirituality and faith, said Karen Tate, author of
Sacred
Places of Goddess: 108 Destinations
.”

Chicago Tribune

Sacred Places of Goddess
provides both travelers and general
readers with a vast array of information. Its richly composed pages
include many drawings, photographs and maps and this helps create the
effect of what is really a resource encyclopedia.”

Beltane Papers
"We keep hearing that Paganism is going mainstream as regular
people show increasing concern for Mother Nature.
Sacred Places of
Goddess
is an example of this mainstreaming; you won’t find this book on
the New Age or religion shelves of your local bookstore. It’s on the travel
shelves, which means that ordinary travelers can pick it up and be in-
spired to travel to sites that commemorate the Goddess."

Pan Gaia
“It offers a look at Goddess Spirituality as it is unfolding in the
world today.
Sacred Places of Goddess
is a deep well of information that
will require repeat visits.”
—Lynnie Levy, Reformed Congregation of Goddess International
“The book gives details and shows photos of shrines, springs,
temples, yoni stones, archaeological sites, museums and labyrinths, and
talks of the history of goddess worship, which dates back at least 20,000
years, according to Tate.
‘The feminine divine is alive today in artifact and art, temple and
mound, but just how diverse and widespread may be quite a surprise,’
says Tate. ‘From the Shinto faith, Buddhist, Muslim, and Christian, to
Native Americans, Pagans, Hindus and Aboriginals to name a few, the
threads of travel, history and spirituality are a beautiful masterpiece that
is the tapestry of the divine.’
The book is intended to be used as a feminine travel resource that
spans continents and centuries, and delves into sacred female art and history.”

The Argonaut
“A unique resource, not only for those who share her interest, but
also for anyone who loves visiting unusual places. ... It has a clear focus on
feminine interpretations of both natural phenomena and human creations
– it is excellently and meticulously written. ... An indispensable resource.”

RoadTrip America
“A wonderful spiritual travel guide ... The author shares both
information and perspectives, drawn from her many years studying the
Divine Feminine and serving as a Goddess Spirituality priestess and tour
guide. It is filled with interesting Goddess lore, stories and thought-
provoking discussions of social and environmental issues. ... A visual
delight.
An excellent resource for exploring the multicultural realm of
Goddess studies, including helpful reference materials, such as a Goddess
Glossary, reading list, resource list, and etiquette for visiting sacred
places.”

Circle News
"I am reading it in fascination before I give it to the Women’s
Spirituality Library. An enlightening book that will help seekers find our
mothers. I consider it very helpful for my own research in Italy, France, and
Spain, and I’ll put this book on my reading list for my Fall course at CIIS."
