God the Mother
Added 2025-01-15 20:58:05 +0000 UTCKālī dances. Bloody, sweet, terrifying, true Love.
It is the dance of frenzy and possession. She dances because she is essentially śakti, energy, power, capacity.
Mary dances. She indeed wants the Spirit to come and possess her; nothing else will do.
Her birthing is her dancing. Her dancing is her birthing.
In iconography, Kālī often appears fearsome. However, we have frozen Mary. We have tamed her.
We are overwhelmed by her fearsome power.
Mary and Kālī invite us to be overshadowed by the Spirit, possessed by the Spirit, and join the Mother’s dance according to the heart music, the nāda —
for the Mother and the Holy Spirit are one.
