UNIFYING,
CREATIVE & DESTRUCTIVE
Kali is
the fierce Goddess who challenges any practitioner to
unify both the creative and destructive forces. She appears
with her foot on the
chest of Shiva, her husband, as she whirls in her dance
of destruction and also
rides his body in sexual ecstasy. Although she appears
bloodthirsty, her aim is
to wipe out demonic forces as a symbol of empowerment
for women. Ultimately,
she is the perfect model of female balance. She returns
to women the three virtues:
strength, intellect and knowledge, and sexual sovereignty.
