Inspired by the liberated artistic expression of the High Gothic period when artists began expanding scriptural narratives through personal interpretation and thoughtful symbolism, I felt emboldened to tell the story of Revelations 12 as the Heroine’s journey of our Heavenly Mother. The scriptural account begins with “a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” Looking for a place to bear her child, she is pursued by a dragon. The dragon is there, ready to consume the woman and her children. After receiving eagle wings, Heavenly Mother rises valiant and undaunted, and defeats the dragon. In a world that has become consumed with power, conquest, and greed, to me the primary antidote is the work women, endowed with divine feminine power, intuitively lead out in– community building, nurturing, peacemaking, and creating safe spaces for the Kingdom of God to be built in every heart. Collectively leaning into the Feminine Divine, something Jesus was so attuned to during His earthly ministry, is truly the only way to defeat the dragon.
