When Niceness is a Manipulative Facade. Bless Your Heart! Can't we humans face reality anymore?  I’ll admit we’re probably all a bit touchy and worn down and we’ve been through a lot this past decade.  Division. Lies. Corruption. Loss of democracy. Loss of the right to our reproductive health. Loss of truth, justice and the rule of law. Loss of stability. Loss of peace of mind and hope. Some people are just plain cruel and maybe getting...]]></description><link>https://www.karentate.net/post/about-toxic-niceness</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ed9f05b502c05c43b883a6</guid><category><![CDATA[Tools of Hope]]></category><category><![CDATA[Archived Wisdom]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2026 05:44:39 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/1e909b_95a7dc43e2e5420e87b6609a5af6ab50~mv2.jpe/v1/fit/w_230,h_300,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Karen Tate</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pagan Portals - The Divine Feminine: Deity, Archetype and Ideal]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hear solutions from visionaries, scholars, wayshowers, foremothers and activists - women and men - dedicated to reshaping our world.]]></description><link>https://www.karentate.net/post/pagan-portals-the-divine-feminine-deity-archetype-and-ideal</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d1608ecc46c6bc6b9fb631</guid><category><![CDATA[Goddess Values]]></category><category><![CDATA[Archived Wisdom]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 19:15:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/027e95_68929db7801043f0a9b2d9b1f7b46add~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Karen Tate</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Did You Enter the World of Goddess? ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Did that entry point for Goddess determine what you learned or didn't learn about Her? In the early days before my understanding of sacred feminine liberation thealogy was developed I was startled by a respected friend announcing she was leaving what we loosely called Goddess Spirituality because it lacked substance. Besides the Wiccan Rede, she felt what we were learning about Goddess Spirituality didn’t delve enough into ethics, morality and social justice.

There are times I can really appreciate the idea “ignorance is bliss” because I think too much.   About the sexualization of Evangelical liturgy leading to the desire for political strongmen, Epstein-envy or pedo pastors.  Or patriarchy's denial of emotions, intellectual laziness of MAGA, etc.   I wish I could just flip a switch and turn my thinking off, but alas, this is my Virgo blessing/curse.

Hear me out. People turn to religion in times of chaos.  No doubt when St. Paul was run out of Ephesus, lucky to be alive after he tried to turn the masses away from their beloved Goddess Artemis, he must have had his doubts if Christianity would ever stick.  Likewise for St. Thomas in 72 CE when he saw an apparition of the Indian Goddess Kali in Calcutta, as he tried to convert the heathens.
