Flooding the World with Truth: Goddesses of Water, Wisdom, and the Word

AUGUST 31, 2025 | GODDESS-MAKERS IN THE AGE OF AUTOCRATS | CONFERENCE | PACIFICA GRADUATE INSTITUTE | SANTA BARBARA, CA | PRESENTATION

Making what may be her most subversive—if not apocalyptic—gesture, the Mother Goddess of the Kogi of Colombia was to decide whether to flood the world. The Kogi were to pronounce her decision on the Summer Solstice of 2024.
The solstice came; the Kogi remained silent.

This mythic warning opens onto a deeper inquiry: what does it mean for a goddess to flood the world? Moving across traditions, from Colombia to ancient Europe, Egypt, Iran, and India, this talk explores the enduring link between water, wisdom, and sacred speech. What emerges is a vision of the “feminine flood” not merely as catastrophe, but as revelation: a force that restores truth, reorders reality, and calls the human world back into alignment.
