As feminist scholars we have an obligation to work actively and work collaboratively to address the prevalent social issues of our time; especially the oppression of marginalized peoples. One vehicle to do so is the use of art and creativity as a personal and collective mystic practice allowing the sacred to infuse every aspect of the purpose, process and product one chooses to give rise to on behalf of the crusade. Art generated in this manner is a powerful and peaceful form of activism and can act as a catalyst for personal, community, and social transformation impacting awareness and prompting social change in profound ways. This form of activism is intentionally used as an alternative to change initiated through violent means. Goddess consciousness acts as the cauldron for this alchemical process to occur by adding a deep reverence for the Divine Feminine, the ability to understand the capacity and elements of myth to support the process along with a critical analysis of social and political structures. Goddess consciousness is also offering service in the role of priestess, the promise of magic, the invitation for intuition, and the essential circles of women that embody radical other ways of knowing. Every act of kindness and every form of peaceful activism with the collective support of others makes a difference. Every seed planted, every ritual, and every sacred act makes a difference.
