Spiritual Alchemist and mystic, Felicia S.C. Gooden, is a prolific writer of many talents who dedicates her life to the great work of the Transmutation of Souls. She paints, draws, creates digital art, and experiments with various forms of traditional and non-traditional writing. As a specialist in poetic verse, Felicia always feels most at home when writing poetry. Her first published poem was entitled “Death”. In 1998 at the age of 11, Felicia manifested a profound rhyme that took away the breath of all her readers at the time. The last two lines of to poem read:

“And just one more question before I go.

Is there life after death, and how do you know?”

Her mother was so taken aback by the reading that she submitted the work to a national poetry contest and the work was published in a poetic anthology entitled, Echoes of Yesteryear.

While exploring her various interests in college, in 2008 Felicia decided she needed a change from typical academia and changed her major from Chemistry/Pre-Pharmacy, transferred to The Art Institute of Atlanta, and began studying Web Design and Interactive Media. While studying the art of the web she gained skills in graphic design, web design, and basic visual art. As time went on and she continued to hone her skills with various art mediums, Felicia made a final academic decision to study Digital Filmmaking and Video Production in 2013 and gained skills in video production, screenwriting, and video editing. She also began volunteering with The Atlanta Film Festival and found that film truly had an artistic home for her.

After a 5 year run with exploring and developing additional artistic interests and talents, 6 years working in fashion retail visual merchandising, and 15 + years of creative writing Felicia found herself to be a true artiste. She then began exploring building her career as more than just a writer, but an artist who works to fulfill a life mission of sharing her different perspective on life and the mysteries of the universe via various art mediums. In 2012, she self-published her first novelette under former pen name, Catalina Gooden, entitled “In Love With Crazy”. This work was dear to her as it was a creative manifestation of an inner fantasy of love and psychological improvements within society all wrapped into one plot.

Credentials of Ministry - Consciousness evolution, alchemyOn September 28, 2013, Felicia S.C. Gooden was ordained by the Universal Life Church and began to fully immerse herself in her divine ministry. Her ministry is made manifest through the arts — creating and showcasing divinely inspired creations — as well as the written and spoken word. Felicia has a unique perspective on life and the universe — humanity and the experience of knowing God in its true form and function. Life, death, reincarnation, the implications of past lives, life throughout the universe, and spiritual transmutation via life experience are all topics of serious interest to Felicia. These concepts are the main root of her inspiration for artistic expression, and the delivery of The Word is what drives her to maintain a Godly and Divine focus when creating her works.

“The Goddess of Death seeks not to affright. When one opens one’s eyes, there shall be a beautiful sight. As she rests by day, and walks by night, The Lady of Death shall show one True Light..” – Felicia S.C. Gooden
