Kali-Ma pendant.Kali-the eternal night.Black as the night she has a terrible and horrific appearance.Kali ,however is a compassionate goddess who bestows blessings,though she may be the least understood of all the Hindu goddesses.Kali is the one to cut us down when walking the wrong direction.Her blessings are hard to understand at first,but ultimately we can take a new path and hopefully in the right direction.In most early representations, skulls, cemeteries, and blood are associated with her worship. Kali is black, naked and emaciated. Her face is azure, streaked with yellow, her glance is ferocious; her disheveled and bristly hair is shown splayed and braided with serpents. She wears a long necklace of human skulls . Her lips are shown streaming with blood; and her tongue lolls out. She is shown standing on the inert form of her consort, Shiva,with many images of her killing demons in the background. Her 6 arms hold her ignorance destroying weapons and the severed head of a demon: these symbolize both her creative and her destructive power, in the unceasing cycle of life and death, creation and destruction.....
