‘Cause I’m a Woman!

What’s become clear to me so far in doing this Goddess Experiment, is that when I reach to find images of a female Creator, I inevitably land back in my girlhood. I guess in the re-creating of imagery, you have to re-member what’s already on your subconscious canvass.

This Enjoli perfume commercial (circa 1977) was a main event in my tween Goddess repertoire. I would sing to this with my hairbrush/microphone, Bonne Bell lip gloss firmly in place. I so wanted that lavender suit set.

Feminists on both ends of the spectrum had a field day with this commercial. For me, an only child teeny bopper, stranded in a Catholic farming town, with (very) young parents who were cool enough to buy me Vogue and Pat Benetar 8-Tracks, this imagery tickled the dreams in my DNA.

I saw my future.

I knew that I too would bring home the bacon, (skip the “frying it in the pan” part, I cook only under duress,) and I’d never, ever let my man forget he was a man.

Goddesses can have it all. Enjoli!

. . . . . . . .

What is The Goddess Experiment? I’m wondering what will shift or bloom or go bust in my psyche if I very intentionally envision God in female form. For the next 21 days, including weekends, I’m going to actively re-frame He into She. His Highness into Her Highness. I’m collecting images that speak to me of God-dess.

Please join in. I may post what you send. Just to…see.
