Kali is not a "dark" goddess, if anything, she's an embodiment of a "mother." It was the South Indian Thuggees who took her as their deity, the Thuggees (where the word Thug comes from) were a brutal caste and hence anything associated with them became equally dark, including Kali.

mach!
i dont know who from who, which god/goddess would i most likely be?

Mach said:

let me google it...

Natisse said:

also ...Urania

GaryTheNoTrashCougar said:

Dark Goddess aspects = meaning

powerful

"mother" goddesses are very powerful and every god and goddess has dark aspects

I think we just have different views on the word "Dark"

Pele

Mach said:

Agreed Hinduism is far from black & white.

it would be nice if we all felt a little like freya

Can I have help identifying who I'd be?

Freya rocks the house down

Mach said:

you've pretty much hit it straight on I think... I can't find any less general descriptions though through google

OURANIA was one of the nine Mousai, goddesses of music, song and dance.

In Classical times she Ourania came to be titled the muse of astronomy and astronomical writings and as such was usually depicted pointing to a globe with a staff



Bleudowedd
The Maiden aspect of the Triple Goddess can be seen to correspond with a woman’s life roughly from birth into the twenties. This aspect of the Triple Goddess represents youth and childhood, new beginnings, adventure, risk taking, spontaneity and playfulness. These characteristics are common to all Maiden Goddesses, regardless of whether they are part of a Triple Goddess triad or not. Some Maiden Goddesses are:

Aphrodite
Ariadne
Artemis
Athena
Bleudowedd
Diana
Dictynna
Hestia
Kore
Persephone
Minerva
Venus
The most traditional colours of Maidens is white, but they are also represented with light and soft shades. This can include pastel pinks, blues and yellows. The best times for working with Maiden Goddesses is during the waxing moon phase. This is when the power of the Maiden is at it’s peak.

also Arawa

Mach said:

ooh, who do you see in me?

cborgman said:

GANESH!

Natisse said:

ahhh wasn't me ...

name just came in round you

Mach said:

would she be the counterpart to the Greek Persephone?

I'm not very familiar with the Wiccan Gods and Goddesses but I am pretty familiar with the Greek ones.

I would probably be Athena, the goddess of wisdom,weaving,crafts, and war. I don't have tons of wisdom yet but I'm pretty good at the weaving, crafts, war.

Maybe I'd be Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. It's not a side that I show very much on the org.

Do either of them have Wiccan counterparts? Who do you think I would be, Mach?

cborgman said:

Cernunnos

GaryTheNoTrashCougar said:

intelligence and wisdom... i am very flattered.

i actually have a ganesh finger puppet at home. it's so cute

I would be Batman.

Mach said:

I was born on Earth Day

cborgman said:

a Ganesh finger puppet? Cute.

2the9s said:

yes. yes you would.

cborgman said:

I was thinking more of his theatrical appearance, but yeah, what you said too

Mach said:

I'm still not sure what to make of it, really... from what I can tell Bleudowedd is a maiden figure which is pretty right because I don't feel like a woman at all or like an adult. Urania seems to be regarded with astronomy and the stars and even travel - would that be right? those things are VERY much me if that's right

applekisses said:

see ... wow...

amazing how they will scream out their names when i look at a person



1/2 the time i think i am

Mach said:

fertility, wild animals, mischevious and linked to pan

love it!

Mach said:

You were totally right on! (about the Goddess...not the )
I feel such a connection with nature and animals and don't feel right if I can't connect with them regularly.
