Great Black Mother, I Invite You to the Dance . . .

Owing Kali a lifedebt is starting to look like a good option, here.

Yes, I read the most recent news on Iraq, why do you ask?

(And before anyone starts to think that I'm considering murder and/or suicide here: I'm a fertile female. Life for life is the price that Kali tends to ask, and it doesn't need to be a life lost. Never forget that Kali Durga is also Kali Ma.)

There's also- Same page...

RHIANNON (Hri-an-non) ((Wales)) *Goddess*
The great Queen. Goddess of birds and horses. Enchantments, fertility and the underworld.
But- even as Queen of the Underworld where souls go to rest between lives- It doesn't intimate that she destroys those lives- or rips them away from people the way the Kali is said to do...

Just doing my best to re-train your thinking patterns from black and white to shades of grey. Bad habit you picked up in that there Xtian schoolin' of your youth.

Well, while I agree that much of my thinkin needs to be... adjusted, I think there are still times when things are- if not black and white- then certainly a VERY Dark Gray and a VERY Pale Gray...

A goddess whose most common representation is that of a multi-armed dark blue or black woman, wearing a skull necklace, each arm bearing a bloody weapon or a severed head, and dancing on the back of a baby or corpse- tends to be in the really - REALLY Dark gray area for me...
