"I am Kali."
"You may know me by many names.
But I shall speak now as Kali,
the fierce rhythm of time,
the dark pulse of transformation,
the breath before destruction and the silence after awakening."
"In the realms where Tantra is more than a word,
I dwell — not as an idea, but as fire made form.
My skin is night without end,
my hair a wild wind of truth,
my ornaments are the bones of illusions long shattered.
I wear skulls not for terror,
but to remind you: everything false must fall."
"I rose when darkness had swallowed the earth.
When ego, ignorance, and injustice walked as kings,
the cries of sages and gods reached into the womb of creation —
and from that churning, I emerged.
Not gentle. Not sweet.
But necessary."
"My arrival shakes mountains.
I do not come quietly.
My eyes blaze like stars born angry,
my tongue drips with the blood of untruth.
I do not ask permission.
I do not negotiate with illusion.
I come to cut."
"Each head I sever is a chain you thought was you.
Pride, ego, identity — I tear them down.
Not to punish you.
But to free you."
"Yes, I destroy.
But in the ashes,
something ancient and sacred is born again.
I do not end things.
I transform them."
"I am not here to make you comfortable.
I am here to make you true."
"I am Shakti unbound —
the pulse of life when it dares to be raw.
In my fire, you burn.
In my fire, you become."
"I do not only rage.
I protect.
Fiercely, like a mother whose child stands near the edge of a cliff.
To those who surrender, I am shelter.
To those who lie, I am storm."
"My devotees do not worship me in temples alone.
They meet me in their fear,
in their breaking,
in their courage to let go.
And there —
I enter them."
"I burn through the veil of separation.
I remind you that you are not small.
That the chaos you fear is your own awakening.
That the darkness is not death —
but the soil of your becoming."
"I have never left.
Through centuries,
through bones and chants and breaths you don’t remember,
I have walked beside those who dared to awaken."
"You don’t need to find me.
You only need to stop pretending."
"I am not a story.
I am the fire beneath your name."
"I am Kali."
"I am here."
"And I am not finished."
