Deity of the Day: Kali

Kali is a Hindu goddess who is often regarded as the "dark mother" and is goddess of time, change, and death. The root of her name Kal is the word for time in sanskirt. She is not associated with physical human death, but death of demons and egos. Many times, those not comprehending her many roles in life call Kali the goddess of destruction. She destroys only to recreate, as in to make way for better things. She is seen to destroy sin, ignorance, and decay. She is equated to the night and is the consort of Shiva. Without her, Shiva would not have the energy to act and she could not exist without him; symbolizing the male and female prospects we see in every part of Wicca. In the Hinduism, all gods and goddesses are a part of Devi, and Kali is seen as the most ferocious and compassionate because she provides liberation to her children. Pictures of Kali usually depict her with a garland of skulls and dismembered arms, which is to symbolize the ego separate of the body. She holds a sword and a freshly severed head. She is also seen standing on top of Shiva, who has white skin while she has black or dark blue. Some pictures are supposed to depict her as "scary," because it is belief that a person attached to their ego will be unreceptive to her and see her as fearsome. People with spiritual practice will see the illusion removed and perceive her with uncomprehending love. Kali's arms represent the circle of creation and destruction.

Kali is seen as the goddess of time, death, illusions, the first chakra, clear sight, unworldliness, freedom and liberation, prosperity, success, agriculture, good over evil, enlightenment, fear, and the cycle of birth and death. Pray to her if you need an illusion lifted or revealed, knowledge, enlightenment, liberation, success, prosperity, anything dealing with time, if you need to forgive other's wrongdoings, the first chakra healed, or if you need selflessness. The colors to use with her are red and black. She is said to dwell at cremation grounds (or cemeteries). Things to offer Kali are plain and simple gifts, such a pure wine or unelaborate cooking, fruit flowers and fragrances. She is also said to likes reverence through prayer, ritual, and invocation. The best time to work with her is on a new moon, especially in October or November. 

Kali is associated with the first chakra. She associated with these chakra stones: hematite, black obsidian, black tourmaline, red zincite, garnet, and Smoky quartz.

Smoky quartz helps with dissipating negativity, balancing the energies of mind and body, and meditation. It is a protective and grounding stone, and enhances dream awareness and channeling abilities. It is also said to help with depression, and is mildly relaxing. The corresponding zodiac signs are Capricorn and Sagittarius. In Hindu, all goddesses are ultimately one thing: Devi. She is seen to take different forms as the goddesses to convey different traits.  Kali first manifested when Parvati/Durga furrowed her brows in anger when the demon, Daruka, threatened the gods. She jumped out and put an end to Daruka, and is considered an aspect of Parvati. When she started killed two demons, she drained the blood from their bodies. She became so overjoyed and drunk off of this, she began to dance. She continued dancing, and destroying everything in her wake, not realizing this. She danced and destroyed, until she realized Lord Shiva had thrown himself under her feet. Astonished she slowed her dancing, but it is believed she will not forever. It is believed that when she continues her dance, the world will end. Other sources say Parvati, in the form of Kali, set out to kill the millions of duplicates of Raktabija on the battlefield, when none of the gods could kill them. Kali then appeared, with red eyes, dark complexion, gaunt features, unbound hair, and sharp teeth. She provoked fear in the demons. She ordered the gods to kill Raktabija, while she covered the ground with her tongue to prevent the bloodshed from making other duplicates. She was so overjoyed that they had defeated the demon, that she began her dance of death over the body of the demons. Her husband, Lord Shiva, saw the destruction she was doing, and threw himself among the bodies of the demons to prevent her from doing more. When she realized she was dancing on the body of her husband, her tongue hung out of her astonished mouth in sorrow and surprise. She became stunned in this position, and is pictured like this. sources: http://www.dollsofindia.com/kali.htm http://www.goddess.ws/kali.html  http://hinduism.about.com/od/hindugoddesses/a/makali.htm http://www.orderwhitemoon.org/goddess/kali/Kali.html http://www.bestcrystals.com/chakra~1.html
