Kali, a Crone?

[Guest guest]

I have the same unease with spiritual practices which never venture

beyond their old borders. Thinking like a historian of religion, it

is my suspicion that drawing the line w.r.t. beliefs is normally a

prelude to drawing the line to stake out a territory...and acquire

some more land.

 

If we could somehow meld our two expressions of caution, I expect

truth would occur.

 

Of course if we just go with Shakti...the fuss stops.

is many, many things and cannot be classified so easily. Crones, in

non-traditionalist paganism, are often consider the same as "dark"

goddesses, so in that aspect I can see the attempt to link Kali with

a Crone. But this link between Crones and "dark" goddesses cannot

be necessarily assumed in traditional craft. The closest I can say

on this is "my grandmother is certainly a crone, but not a 'dark'

goddess figure. My best friend, however, is certainly a 'dark'

goddess figure but not a crone." The same can be said about

goddesses, at least IMHO.
