🌹 The Living Goddess Podcast 🌹 KALI Episode #9

Wild One,In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the primordial, primal darkness of Goddess Kali. Known for her wild appearance and unapologetic force, Kali is feared and revered in equal measure.We wanted to dive into that… why is she so feared? And if she’s that scary, why is she so intensely revered?This conversation was an organic one that spoke less about her creator story and more about her unconditional, protective, wild love; her symbolism and sacred presence; destruction and fertility; and her messages about fear and authenticity.We spoke about…♥️ Who is Kali Ma and where does she come from?♥️ What she offers her devotees with her presence♥️ How she tends to (devours!) our fears and insecurities♥️ Her passion for authenticity and truth no matter what♥️ The symbols she wears and how they relate to language, sound, mantra, the sub/un/conscious minds, and ego♥️ Her conversation with Coral about returning to our instinctive, primal roots in order to trust ourselves and each other so we can collaborate together♥️ The difference between compliance and collaboration♥️ The symbolism of the poking tongue and how that has landed deeply for us both♥️ The energy of June and how Kali can assist us with the transformation in our livesCoral shares this poem ‘In the Desert’ by Stephen Crane:In the desertI saw a creature, naked, bestial,Who, squatting upon the ground,Held his heart in his hands,And ate of it.I said, “Is it good, friend?”“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;“But I like it“Because it is bitter,“And because it is my heart.”Also mentioned in the show: Autobiography of a Yogi & Elena’s modern confessional: The Freedom Room.We hope you enjoy the conversation!
