I have been (consciously) working with Kali's medicine for the last six years. There are times when she is quiet and times when she calls loudly - It is time for us to work together again. Last week she told me to draw her. Right now. And within an hour this little painting had emerged onto the paper.

I've found myself over these last six years going back and forth between working with her and dispassionately attempting to work with the more gentle goddesses. I think to myself, isn't this enough of this wrathful, dark energy? Shouldn't I be balancing this out with some White Tara? But a recent encounter with a hellebore told me that no, the gentle goddesses are not your path, at least not now. Go back to Kali. Stop trying to be the nice, good, neat, pretty girl that bites her tongue and asks for permission before she does anything out of the ordinary. You haven't been that girl for some time. Now is the time to embrace your wild witch, the old crone that cackles naked in the void. Caring whether or not she makes people uncomfortable isn't even on her radar.
