CATE MONTANA
UNEARTHING VENUS: My Search for the Woman Within
CATE MONTANA was raised in a man's world to be "just one of the guys" and became a highly successful network TV editor and journalist, self-admittedly "brash, driven and highly competitive." While on assignment a chance encounter with a shaman sets her on the path of unearthing the illusive power of the feminine. In a raw and wrenching recapitulation of her life Cate discovers the devastating absence of feminine qualities within herself and the withering personal and global consequences of having only one paradigm available for her to express through: the masculine "P" values of Power, Possessions, Profit, and Progress.

In UNEARTHING VENUS, you join Cate Montana on an amazing journey into the heart of the Amazon jungle, up staggering peaks in the Andes, and halfway across the globe to the consecration of a temple to the Great Goddess in southern India as she searches for the missing Feminine within herself and Western Culture.
An intelligent, compellingly honest and frequently funny memoir of a modern woman's search for her own unrecognized feminine spirit, Unearthing Venus is both a visionary and everywoman story that brilliantly captures what it is to be a woman today and everyday. |
Apollo & Me: Loved by a Forgotten god across lifetimes...
Combining mysticism and science, magic and myth, passion and romance, Apollo & Me is a fast- paced, cross-time teaching tale that explodes stale beliefs surrounding the relationship between the gods and man, man and woman, sexuality and spirituality, and ultimately the material illusion of the world itself.
American author Kathryn Adams has a last-minute plan: chill out on a Greek island and recover from her latest book launch. Apollo, the devastatingly handsome ancient Greek god of wisdom and light, has an agenda he’s been cooking up for over a thousand years: Come back to Earth, obtain redemption for his betrayal of Kathryn in a previous life as a Delphic temple priestess, rekindle their love and get her to join forces with him in a desperate gamble to save
humanity from the evil doomsday plot of one of his fellow gods.
From their initial shocking mortal-meets-god reunion on Mount Parnassus where Apollo tests Kathryn’s ethical fiber by offering to restore her lost youth if she will worship him (she refuses) to Apollo’s intense and ultimately healing seduction of Kathryn on the island of Paros, from hidden temple catacombs in the bowels of Mount Parnassus to an inter-dimensional, cross-time goddess ritual Kathryn must perform with her 3rd century BC former priestess self in a last-ditch
attempt to save the dying Apollo, this is a mystical tale of spiritual liberation and sexual healing that shines a much-needed light on the depressing legacy of religious shame and sexual prejudice driving many of the gender issues exploding into the media, politics and our own homes today, bringing together the spiritual and physical realms, all too frequently sundered during the
spiritual quest here on Earth.
