SpiritMaa

Kali, in your tribal form, present you are in the prehistory of India. Kali, in your early fierceness, present you are in the sacred scriptures of India. You rise to prominence in the Sakta tradition, and you come to power as Mahavidya in the Tantric tradition. You we see in your divine yogini attendants, and in your human yogini practitioners. You, Ma, in the cosmic kundalini that manifests on all levels of creation – universe, world, nature, the coiled serpent energy at the base of our spines. In your form as goddess in the chakras. You we see in the sexual path of liberation. You, Kali Ma, in the Bhakti path of love…in your bliss-intoxicated devotees... You, the dark one, Kali. Awesome power...

You who have impelled this journey, you who have called from the beyond. You who have moved across transpersonal realms, realms of the goddess and Tantric realms, what has been your purpose? You who have shown yourself in breathwork, dreams and meditation – why are you here? Have you come to help me identify my personal myth? Have you come to help me embrace my shadow? Have you come to help me deconstruct my cultural overlay as a woman? Have you come to give purpose to my fierce energies? Have you come to show me how to channel my power? Have you come to call me into my own chaos? Have you come to give name to my mystical, heart opening experiences? Have you come to bring guidance to my dreams? Have you come to initiate me? Have you come to take away my fear of death? Have you come to show me how to be spiritual warrior? Have you come to show me I am safe? Have you come that I may know love? Have you come to show me I am ‘all that?’

From out of the body, the psyche, the collective unconscious, the void – as kundalini, ally, archetypal energy, goddess, cosmic creatrix – you, the dark one, Kali. You arise. You who have manifested in this time and place. You who have been here forever... Is it you that speaks in the many faces of the dark mother around the world? Is it you that rises to challenge the patriarchy?? Is it you that calls us to raise the Energy? Is it you that calls us back from the brink? You, the dark one, Kali, awesome power...
