systlin:chillgamesh-the-swing:teratomat:A little respect is all I ask.just got vivid flashbacks of reading Wicca For Beginners circa age 12, where the white author derides someone who (i was today years old when i learned CORRECTLY) told her that Kali has a nurturing mother aspect…. Oh, yes. I’m not Hindu, but I know a bit about a few Hindu gods and goddesses, enough to know that Kali carries in her hands creation and destruction both. To give life, after all, is also to create death, for all life must die. One cannot come without the other. After all, what mother would not kill to protect her children, and what woman has not known wrath that could shatter mountains? The denial that some gods can be multifaceted this way has always seemed strange to me. -- source link
