RE: food offerings to Kali

[Guest guest]

Namaste;

here be something for you.....about me Lady Kali..

Jah'vi

 

In reading The Black Goddess, I've come up with certain things that I

would probably offer to Kali at the ceremony I want to do. What i really

like is the statement that it is believed that worship without the sharing

of

food is ineffectual. This is so like what the coven does after ritual-

cakes & wine (Or cookies and juice) or we have been known to whip up a

lovely

potluck feast for after Circle.

 

Here is what I would put together (with help from coven mates of

course!) for a post Kali Puja fest.....

 

Rock candy, fruits, sweets (would gulab jamun be appropriate?),

coconut milk, cow's milk, rice, fried vegetables, vegetable curry, lentils,

ghee (they have this in big jars at local supermakets), fish curry, sweet

curds (what is that!?), rice pudding, fried bread, fried eggplant, and fried

potatoes.

 

What do folks think of that? Would eggplant parmesan be acceptable?

just a thought...

 

Also, it came to me last night, Sometimes I get flashes of artistic

inspiration..Around this area, you can find jet, a fairly soft

workable coal. I thought, if I found a big enough piece, I might try carving

a

small figure of Kali out of it..paint her eyes and hands....

I may have to go on a jet hunt later this year!
