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.)

I don't recall Cerridwen as being a taker of life with her Cauldron, I do remember the Cauldron being the place where the fighters of the Tuatha went to be dipped and rise, restored for the next fight...
When did She take life with Her cauldron?

CERRIDWEN / CARIDWEN / CERIDWEN ((Wales)) *Goddess*
Goddess of nature. Death, fertility, regeneration, inspiration, magick, astrology, herbs, science, poetry, spells, knowledge.

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...
