Wonder Woman got me thinking about Isis and other images of Goddesses from my girlhood.

The cheesy Saturday kid’s show, “The Secrets of Isis” was my intro to one of the most famous Goddesses of all time. Isis is the ruler of motherhood and fertility. She is also known as Goddess of Magic, The Goddess of Love and War, the Giver of Life, Queen of the Gods, and Goddess of Marriage and Protection. That’s some big golden sandals to fill.

Here’s what I think is coolest about Isis’ supposed powers. She was revered as a great sorceress and one of her feats was discovering Ra’s secret name. You see, it was believed that all forms of life were created by the god Ra, who called each of them into existence by speaking their “secret name.” And he himself had a secret name – which only Isis had the power to discover.

Again and again…these Goddesses love the truth and have the power to get straight to it.

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.
