     The Sacred Feminine, whether an archetype, ideology or deity, has been absent from the center stage of the world for centuries. In her absence, humanity has grown up like a child without it's mother. Humans are in chaos and disharmony worldwide in part because the feminine face of god has been stripped from too many of our cultures, religions and psyches. We are like children with an emptiness in our heart and we compensate in ways that have had tragic consequences for humankind. In this show, author, scholar and Goddess Advocate, Karen Tate, will encourage listeners to rethink, reclaim, and reawaken the Divine Feminine, She of Ten Thousand Names, personally, politically and spiritually as they hear voices redefining this resurging movement to restore the Great Mother to her throne.

Who among us isn’t tired of turning on the television or radio and hearing how fear, greed and abuse of power is sending our world spiraling out of control? Who is not ashamed to read the paper and see what passes for the norm these days? Are there others out there tired of our leaders failing us and being part of the problem as they are immersed in scandals, lies, and corruption? Where are the guideposts and benchmarks that help us steer a healthy course?

Everything old is new again. Let us remember her-story and vision how embracing She of Ten Thousand Names can be a catalyst to make positive change. Whether you embrace Goddess as deity or ideal, as archetype or metaphor, the Sacred Feminine, restored to her rightful throne, is one answer, one method, one vehicle that might change the face of the world. And we must herald her coming.....

Dear Karen,

I wanted to write to you to express my gratitude for your show about the
Divine Feminine. I have had an incredible experience as a result of your
show, and hope from my heart of hearts that I can relay it to you now.
Dear Karen,

I am 23, and I am an artist living in Los Angeles. I was raised with the
Divine Feminine in a place and time where that was highly uncommon, and
came of age as my mother undertook her own spiritual journey through the
Feminine.
My hunger and thirst for contact with Her has always manifested in my
art, a practice my mother began with me when I was two as a way of
developing my relationship to The Feminine through creativity and
intuition. When I was 17 I was called on a journey by Her that took me
to L.A., Maui, Vancouver, and eventually Nova Scotia where I began my
work as an artist at 18.

I came back to L.A. three years ago to begin a very different part of my
journey. I've dealt with much grief and loss, as well as physical
ailments centering in my ovaries. I've been in the cyclical descent.

Recently, I got a very bad sunburn that only effected my legs, which
became so swollen, I was unable to walk for five days. I had been
feeling off my path recently, and had been praying to Goddess to reveal
the next step to me (funny, I was "walking" in the wrong direction, so
she slowed me down). I lay in my bed for days reading The Once and
Future Goddess, The Chalice and the Blade, The Heroine's Journey,
Sanctuaries of the Goddess, and the work of Marija Gimbutas. Books I
have treasured for so long.  I suddenly had an epiphany. That what I
lacked was communion with other women. I lacked worship in a group. I
began to feel overwhelmed at a powerful pull to move even closer to
Goddess in my work and to continue to make my art.

I began to pray for Goddess to show me my religion, my place of worship,
to bring me to the others so that I don't have to be alone with my
knowledge of Her. I prayed for her to show me my calling. I've been very
unhappy in my day job, and wanted to know what I could do daily for work
and be of service to Her and to my fellows.  She told me to go online.
I got out my little phone, which I am writing to you from right now, and
I don't remember how, but I was led directly to your website.

I began to listen to the archives, and Karen, I listened to show after
show after show for all those days, and I am still listening today. As I
went through the archives there was Barbara Walker! And Riane Eisler!
Carol Christ! Women I have often dreamed of talking with since I was a
young teenager. And to hear their voices and know they are alive, that
they are real! Ever since I first began to awaken to a feminist
consciousness, I began to cry out, where are my mothers? Where have they
gone? Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Naomi Wolf, Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
I wondered what they thought about my generation and what guidance they
had for me. I thought the movement was over. My art mentors, Carolee
Schneemann and Ana Mendieta, they are gone and who are the women today
who will make the important work? I felt so alone.

All my life, Karen, there have been only two people in my entire world
who knew Her as the Divine Feminine: my mother and myself. All of that
changed when I found your show. Since then, all my questions have been
answered through you and the women you interviewed. I have made contact
with my Spiritual Mothers and know that it's not over, and the Daughters
have not been left behind in the desert to fend for themselves. I know
now that I am not the only one. That the great awakening has just begun.
To hear your voice and the excitement that you have, to know others are
listening, it's produced a radical shift in my consciousness. I found my
religion in PaGaianism from your show and read a chapter from my phone
every night while I listen to your archives.

After the first day of listening, I was filled with a sense of pervading
peace and tranquility. I had total clarity about my life.
I have experienced tremendous healing because of the work you are doing.
And I have begun to remember, the deep remembering, of who I am, my
Origins in The Mother, and my purpose in this life. I know now that I,
like the other daughters, am the one who has to keep the movement of
Goddess consciousness alive, I'm the woman now who has to make the
important work, even if others are not. And now I have to begin to reach
out and find my community.

You and your work are an answer to my prayer. And it was quick, too!
There is nothing more important than what you are doing, and I am so,
so, eternally grateful.

I write to you as a daughter, simply to reach out and let you know that
I am listening, every night, in my little room in East L.A., with my
little pink phone until I fall asleep, and that you are saving my life.

I wanted to leave you a link to the website of my art. I hesitate to
show many people because I've experienced so much persecution in art
school for my beliefs, and I am afraid I will be marginalized. But you
of all people might understand my work better than anyone other than my
own mother. I would be so honored and touched if you would have a look.

I recently completed an art video that I believe shows the journey of
the female Soul through the Feminine. I will be screening it this June
at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts in Ojai. Wish me luck! I
sometimes feel afraid to show it.

Karen, I am so honored to have found you and your work, and all the
magic it has opened up for me. You are a Way Shower and a Great Mother.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Now my legs have healed and I can walk again. This time, I know I'm
going in the right direction.
Thank you.

Many blessings,


Lucy Madeline
