Kate came to Ariadne’s Tribe via a long-standing but unfocused spiritual connection with Crete. She was an avid reader of classical Greek mythology as a child, but later felt there had to be an alternative mythos which wasn’t patriarchal and misogynistic.
Educated from the mid-1960s to the mid-70s, Kate was taught nothing of the Minoans: history lessons jumped from Neolithic times to classical Greece. However, she began to visit Crete and explore the major Minoan archaeological sites in the late 1990s. Along with reading up on and being fascinated with Minoan culture, Kate began to experience strong feelings of having lived in several areas of Crete in previous lives. She also bought a holiday home there in the early 21st century, located in the very area she’d seen in a dream but never in this current life.
At the same time, Kate began to feel connections with deities who she had no names for, but who were increasingly influencing her life choices. She instinctively knew these deities were far more ancient than the classical Greek gods and goddesses.
A Facebook algorithm suggested the Ariadne’s Tribe group to her in 2016. Kate immediately knew that she’d found her spiritual home. Witnessing and contributing to the Tribe’s development has been life-enriching: there’s a beautiful vibe here of inclusivity, diversity, spiritual exploration, and mutual support.
