Personal life
Kellie Everts was born on July 16, 1945 in Calw, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, as Rosa Sofia Jakstas.
Bodybuilding and stripping
Everts trained for the 1981 competition but was barred from entering the Caesar's Palace Boardwalk Regency IFBB competition in Atlantic City. She picketed them in a white bikini, speaking for 30 minutes on a radio show.
On February 2, 2007 the World Bodybuilding Guild (WBBG) awarded her "Progenitor" of Female Bodybuilding and in August 2007 inducted her into their Hall of Fame.
The Stripper for God
Rasa won the titles of Miss Nude Universe in July, 1967 by strutting and bouncing around totally nude in front of a totally nude audience, and Miss Body Beautiful in 1974. She later made nine appearances in Playboy. Her first appearance, in the pictorial "Humping Iron", was in the May 1977 issue. This made her the first female bodybuilder to appear in the magazine, predating Lisa Lyon's appearance by three years. She later became an exotic dancer.
Ministry
In 1978, Everts came up with the idea a stripper could also be a religious minister. The combination of stripper and evangelical religious conviction led to the creation of what she called "Stripper for God".
Everts travelled in the United States and Canada, giving over 1,000 sermons in burlesque theaters and nightclubs.
She also travelled several times to Canada, and made one trip to the United Kingdom In 1988, she appeared on The Morton Downey, Jr. Show.
Everts later changed the emphasis of her mission to the return of matriarchy and the feminine divine. On June 16, 1978 she preached on the message of the Three Secrets of Fátima in front of the White House, with the aim of bringing about the conversion of Russia.
On May 24, 2004, Everts, under her present name Rasa von Werder or Guru Rasa of the Church of MotherGod, started the Woman Thou Art God Website. She has since continued publishing online on her religious beliefs, and has written fifteen books on the subject of matriarchy and spirituality.
