A few years ago at a Samhain ritual I decided to aspect Kali. I wrote out a beautiful poem covering many aspects of life and the changes in life that people usually look towards...new job, new relationship, new friends... I also had symbols on paper that when I painted over them with blood red paint they would emerge giving the devotee a tool for them to divine their future for the year. This was all done very random during the ritual. So the ritual went off without a hitch. It was one of my best performances as a High Priestess. As the time I was married, employeed and pretty happy...AND THEN CAME KALI! She came in kicked my ass and took no prisoners...that night, I had become quite taken with a friend of a friend. I had no idea what this was about...I had been married for 8 years and never even noticed another man. He asked me to see what I saw in his divination symbol and I saw the two of us making love...uggghhh! I turned it upside down and it was even more so us. Oh my, so I lied to him and said I saw a butterfly for change...LOL. I was also very secure as a massage therapist. I had attended a wedding the next night of an ex-coworker and found myself longing to go back to work there...what was going on...I figured it was a blip in the radar and things went back to normal for a few weeks.
Next thing you know it was December...I went back to work for the old firm, asked for a divorce and was courting the man from the party. My life was turned upside down. In some ways I was devistated. in other ways, i was relieved. The chaos went on for about another 6 months. At some point I re-read the invocation to Kali that I had read at the ritual. EVERYTHING in the poem had or was happening to me!
I am greatful to Kali for coming in , kicking ass and taking no prisoners. I am now happily married to the man from the Samhain ritual, we have a beautiful baby and I am making money hand over fist at my old employer.
THANK THE GODDESS KALI!
