“We have been taught that the fiery aspects of the divine feminine need to be suppressed, along with own ferocious nature. The toxic patriarchy loves nothing more than to paint the fearsome feminine forces as evil. Kali is no different. We share Her fate being told we are too passionate, too loud, too angry. What a load of bullshit. The patriarchy fears the fire breathing Goddesses you see. For She will burn their outdated paradigms to ash.
Kali is the destroyer of these old structures, for She is the embodiment of justified rage. She shows us the need to connect with the inferno within and embrace the fury that wells in our outraged souls at the injustices of the world. She teaches us that sometimes things get messy, dirty, and covered in blood, as we chase down the demons in our own lives.
She calls to us to riot against the obsolete illusions, rules, and definitions that society would bind us with. Through Kali, we cut the strings the puppet masters would use upon us, and we incinerate their delusions of enslavement and subjugation to the ground. She calls to us to rise, sword in hand, and stand against the storm of corruption that would consume us all. Our rage is justified, She growls. Our fight is just.”
-C. Ara Campbell, from the upcoming Girl God anthology, Kali Rising:
