Is anyone here familiar with a goddess called Tara?
chasing-isis:
I ran across a COMPLETELY out of context reference to her, and now I can’t seem to find any sites which seem reliable to learn more. The original source said she was Tibetan??? (That is probably not accurate…)
Tara is a Tibetan Goddess. The Buddhists say there is no god, but there is a rich mythology of dieties. I think of Buddhism as coming from Hinduism the way Christianity came from Judaism. Tara should be easy to find. I will bring you some links in a sec. Just wanted to chime in quickly. I believe she is a compasionate bodhisatva (an enlightened one who reincarnates to help others reach enlightenment.)
Here is a good link:

Working on new painting of Shakti; Goddess of Kundalini & female energy.
My inspiration for this painting is the amazing and wonderful Colleena Shakti
