Helena Blavatsky
Helena Blavatsky was born in what was then Russia in 1831. She traveled the world, researching ancient religions, searching for the ancient wisdom of the great protoreligion. In 1875, she founded the Theosophical Society. The motto of the society is "There is no religion higher than truth." She wrote multiple books and was hugely influential in bringing ideas of eastern religion to the west. She detested the Catholic missionary system and its attempts to wipe out indigenous religions and actively worked against it in India and Ceylon. Both Thomas Edison and Gandhi studied theosophy.

Kamala Devi Harris
"She has a thousand names and faces — and countless tasks and talents. Even as a fierce warrior heroically slaying the most vicious demons, she retains her composure and radiant beauty. Westerners accustomed to a "Heavenly Father," and to seeing virginal, subdued images of the Madonna, might find Devi and her wildly vigorous feminine power quite startling.
"For many Hindus, however, Devi's greatest strength is that she embodies all aspects of womanhood. In the vast pantheon, she is in the top tier, as powerful as the male gods Vishnu and Shiva. Mother goddess of India and local protector for innumerable villages, she can be quiet and nurturing. But she is also a cosmic force, addressing the creation and destruction of worlds. On occasion she is voluptuous and alluring — a playful temptress, a passionate lover. Before exams, Hindu pupils pray to her, incarnated as Sarasvati, the goddess of music and learning. Devi blesses her devotees with fortune and success.
From: The Great Goddess Devi, Smithsonian Magazine, 1999.
Devi is Kamala Harris's middle name.

Tulsi Gabbard, Triple Goddess Energy
Tulsi Gabbard, Triple Goddess Energy. She was the first Hindu member of the U.S. Congress and the first voting Samoan-American member. She was also the first female combat veteran to run for president, and the only non-white Democratic party candidate to earn delegates in the 2020 election cycle. In December 2020 she introduced a bill to protect women's sports. Tulsi is a karma yogi, meaning her actions are her prayers. The center Tulsi is based on a photo from her instagram.

Zehra Dogan as the Shahmeran
Zehra Dogan is a Kurdish journalist, activist, artist, and feminist. She was imprisoned from 2017-2020 for her reporting and for sharing a painting of a Kurdish town destroyed by the Turkish military on social media. She continued creating art in prison. I have depicted her as the Shahmeran, a mythical snake goddess of wisdom who appears in both Kurdish and Turkish folktales. For more info, check out my blog.
