Subject: Hell Bitch Kali
[from http://www.yoni.com/bitch.shtml ]
[INLINE]
I'm the bitch from hell.
I think you know me well.
I am the dark goddess
kali, hecate, medusa, lilith, ereshkigal.
These faces of the feminine are much less easily acceptable
than those of Aphrodite the Goddess of Love or Demeter the
Great Mother. But it is in the energy of the dark goddesses
that a vast store of feminine power lies.
kali is the creator and the destroyer. She is depicted as one
who cuts off the heads of men. Scary stuff! But this is a
symbolic representation, it is not actually their Life she is
after, simply their Ego.
The dark goddess lives in us all. Often suppressed and denied
she will eventually leak out in hostility and sarcasm, with
sly cutting digs, nagging, gossip and put downs. She reveals
herself at her most ugly in our closest relationships. Liz
Taylor in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe" plays her out
admirably. Jung calls her the 'animus suppressed'. She is
everything that nice girls are not. Suppressed too far she
turns her destructive energy inwards and creates depression
and disease.
The energy of the dark goddess brews and bubbles in the belly.
Suppressing her simply adds bite to her words when they do
manage to escape. If the energy of fermentation in a bottle of
rich wine starts to become more than the cork can contain the
wine will ooze out. If we ignore this and shove the cork back
down harder the build up will become greater and next time the
leaks will become spurts. Finally the pressure will shoot the
cork off completely and the precious liquid will be lost. This
is the path of denial, of refusing to acknowledge the truth
that needs to be spoken. The alternative is to appreciate that
bottle, to nurture the rich gift that is brewing, turn it and
tend to it and to choose when the cork should be removed and
the sweet dark flavour be offered to the world.
Accepted and celebrated the dark goddesses give us the
strength to overcome the fear of rejection and to dare to
stand in our truth and tell it how we see it. This is an
enormously empowering experience.
