Today for spooky season I wanted to write about Kali, a Hindu goddess of time, death, and destruction.
Kali was born from Durga during war to bring victory. However she brought destruction to all sides until Shiva (her husband) threw himself to the ground to end her rampage.
In most Hindu literature Kali is omitted in favour of Parvati, another consort of Shiva with Kali is considered to be part of the taboo left hand path. However in the denomination of Shaktism Shiva and her are major deities creating and destroying the universe.
Her main mantra is: Om Jayanti Mangala Kali Bhadrakali Kapalini. Durga Kshma Shiva Dhatri Swaha Swadha Namostute.
