To sign 'goddess', you will combine the signs for 'female' and 'God'. Start by touching the thumb of your open hand to your chin to indicate the female gender. Then, raise that same open, flat hand above your head with your palm facing sideways. Bring the hand straight down in front of your face to complete the sign.
Use the compound sign for 'goddess' by starting at the chin and moving into the sign for 'God'. This clearly establishes the female deity before signing 'wisdom'.
When signing this sentence, ensure the transition between the 'female' marker and the downward motion for 'God' is smooth to convey the single concept of 'goddess'.
Here, 'goddess' is used metaphorically. You will still use the same sign, starting with your thumb at your chin and then bringing your flat hand down from above your head.

In ASL, the face is divided into gendered zones. Signs related to females (like mother, sister, or girl) are typically formed near the chin or lower half of the face, while male signs are formed near the forehead.
While the context might sometimes make it clear, adding the 'female' marker at the beginning is the most accurate way to specify that the deity you are referring to is a goddess.
This is a one-handed sign. You should use your dominant hand to perform both the 'female' marker at the chin and the subsequent downward movement for 'God'.
