The Hindu goddess Kali shares a relationship with the creative and destructive nature of mankind, the masculine and feminine, and countless other gods and goddesses, including the Saint Santa Muerte. Her image is often seen as evil or grotesque, but this is a result of her fight with demons, destruction, and chaos. Her tongue is out in a humble way to lick up the falling blood Raktabija in order to prevent new demons from spawning. We find reference to similar stories of blood falling to sprout flowers or trees all throughout mythology. For example, flowers sprout from the blood of Attis and Adonis, a tree from the blood of Dionysus, a special healing plant from the blood of Prometheus, and yet more demons from the blood of Ouranos. Flowers also grew from the blood or nama sebesion that was spilled from the bull killed by Mithras. From astrology to microcosmic and macrocosmic cycles, we are looking at more than evil with Kali. She is a universal creative and destructive force that invites us to examine life, death, time, and reality. Her image is a combination of science, physics, mythology, and the like. As with Christ, who redeemed and washed away sins with blood, Kali purifies and cleanses by preventing demonic blood from spilling. Laura Lavender of the ‘Mysteries Beyond’ podcast joins us for a discussion.
