One theme that is recurring in my Goddess experiment is the pursuit of Truth. Strong women thrive on it. The very act of looking fro truth is empowering, ennobling and inspiring to others. Goddesses live to find it, know it, and dispense it.

The Goddess/Superwoman images of Alicia Keys sparked me to look for more contemporary, in-the-field kinds of Goddesses.

The Pearl Project

21 students at Georgetown University’s School of Continuing Studies in Washington, DC are trying to track down the killers of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic radicals in Pakistan in early 2002. Lead by journalist and activist Asra Nomani, they want to finish the work the FBI started. Word has it that they’re making some real inroads.

As Marie Claire Magazine reports: “The FBI says this is an open investigation, but in talking to officials, it’s clear there’s no work being done on the ground,” [Nomani says.] “You can argue over whether it’s right or wrong, but the FBI has moved on to other priorities.”

Called the Pearl Project, the investigation, now entering its second year, draws mostly female students from as far away as Qatar and Lebanon. Says Erin Delmore, a 21-year-old from New Jersey, “We’re not studying history in this class; we’re trying to make history.”

Goddesses seek the truth. Check.
Goddesses make history. Check.

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.
