Kali


Kali represents Endings and Beginnings

“The old must be released so that the new can enter.”

Message from Kali
“I sing praises to those whose hearts accept the universal order, which only appears to be chaotic and every-changing. In actuality, everything is designed down to the smallest detail, to be in perfect operation. The dance of the universe is a happy one, with energy swirling and twirling in a never-ending celebration of life itself. Join this dance, dear one, and enjoy the remarkable journey of the weavings of the story of your life. Do not fear what appears to be a change or a loss. It’s only the transitioning orbit of energy interplaying with you and your loved ones. Embrace it as evidence that you’re alive! Embrace your deepest emotions as a signal of your true human essence!”

Various meanings
Your current changes are for the best
Keep your thoughts positive, as they’re very powerful
What appears to be a loss is really the beginning of a happy new phase
Let the past go
It’s time to move on

About Kali
This ultra-powerful Hindu goddess is feared by those who don’t understand the natural cycles of birth, death, and rebirth. Kali is the embodiment of Mother Nature, who cleanses away the old with natural storms and fires to make the ground fertile for new crops and life. Kali is the ultimate get-things-done goddess, and she’s a powerful ally to those who call upon her. Like a wise stage mother, she’ll push you beyond your comfort zone to reach the heights of your potential.

I love this image. I think Kali is my transformation card. There's just something about this card that triggers something inside of me. I love the intensity in Kali's eyes, the third eye being yellow, the lotus in the palm of her hand, the eclipse and the galaxy.


It also reminds me of La Loba, the Bone Woman. How she sings over the bones to awaken what has been dead. I guess in many ways transformation is about that, gathering the bones and awaken it to life again, breathe life into that parts that has been slumbering, turning it around. It also fits with the symbol of the Wasteland, of breathing life into it again. Both Kali and Butterfly Maiden is about fertility and the earth. A couple of weeks ago I walked outside. It was like there was an anticipation in the air, like nature was preparing itself for the transformation it was about to undertake. The transformation from slumber of winter into the awakening of spring. It was a good feeling. And in many ways I can feel that same anticipation inside of me.


Three words: Transformation, change, revolution...

Changes




















I am thinking about how my life is at the moment. I am thinking about changes... More how to make them... And I came up with this sentence: Sometimes a change in life can be a revolution, sometimes it is an evolution.
Change can be violent and shake the foundations of your life in just one day. One minute... Other times it takes time... I think I am in the middle of an evolution in my life right now. And I know I will be a better and more resourceful person at the other end... The slow process of getting to know myself... I guess it is a lot of soul work let to do too. But I do enjoy it even though there are bumps in the road and I some times get off track... I like these words: Wandering around, lost. Also a title on a song by Cocteau Twins))) I also wrote a poem once that I named exactly that......


I am walking around, lost
Disappearing into the dark again
Fading into grey
Into the nothingness of my own despair

Your words hurt me again
Cutting my wounds wide open
You pull at the chains again
They strangle me
And I choke on my frustration

I try to run away
But I find that I have run right back
To where it all started
And I find no comfort there
Only a cold and painful hatred
Of everything I have become today

I know you must hate yourself
And maybe that’s why you hate me as well
The chains are cutting deep into my flesh
Until I can’t see anything but the pain

The tears burn in my eyes
Your words burn my heart into a pile
Of ash that the wind carries far away
From these streets that are lifeless

Memories of dreams I used to dream
But now lies empty and barren in front of me
I am walking around, lost
Disappearing into the dark again…

Blessed be all those who go through changes right now. May you find strength within yourself and courage to see them through.
