So here we go let's start with this one. Having an "open" topic. Everyone can bring corrections, or experiences with Kali. I will modify the post and edit it through different informations.
COMMON PICTURE AND BASIC REPRESENTATIONWith pathworking, you already know that shapes and representations of gods can change. Symbolism also. As such sometimes Kali has got ten arms, ten heads, ten legs. Sometimes 4 arms or 10.
STORY
There are different stories about Kali. Some says she is a different entity from Durga. Some say she is the transformation of Durga, symbol of her anger. Some Say it's an incaranation of Parvati I will not focus here on the history because what is important is the experience linked to her.
Her name means "Time" also.
She is supposed to be an ancient god linked to themes about :
- Death
- Time
- Transformation
- Rebirth and Destruction
- Cleansing
- Divine feminine energy
- Sexuality and Desire
(also linked to her twin flames relationship with Shiva)
Some also say she is the Dark Mother, the Dark goddesse, and some think she is Lilith...

SHORT TEXT WRITTEN by Baal KadmonFrom Kali Mantra magick . Link in the end.
"Kali is fierce. Meaning, when you use her mantra you are
invoking a fierce energy. Her energy is not subtle.The results can be rather dramatic,
Kali, the dark mother of the Hindu pantheon is oft the most misunderstood Goddess in all human spiritual endeavor. Her images often depict her as being an evil and demonic force that few should ever dare call upon whilst others worship her as benign Goddess whom bestows blessings upon her supplicants. She is , in fact, both of these .
Kali will challenge the stuffiness and properness you have acquired in this life. She will challenge who you think you are. She will spit in your face, she will push your buttons and will humble you. She will make you face your demons. Cut away your pride. She will make you grow whether you feel you're ready or not. All for the sake of breaking you out of your shell, a shell you so readily hide in. Kali will throw you into your challenges raw. Thus, letting you learn on your own. She would be the one to push you into the deep end of the pool so you can learn to swim. She will show you the futility of your overly valued words and notions of yourself to which we all idolatrously worship.
