Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew of the animal symbolisms for the many faces of Devi. To give an example of a Western deity, Morrigan of the Tuatha de Dunnan (spelling?) has been associated with ravens. Thank you. Jai Ma! Sincerely, Christina H.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I hope the links given earlier were helpful. It's a big question, but i'll just throw in there re the ravens that Dhumavati, one of the ten Mahavidyas, is pictured with crows.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Wow, she has a similar concept to Morrigan, in a way...though there seems to not be as much research on the web about her. I only found Dhumavati mostly at sites that are...ahem...outdated. Sites that still make a big deal about human sacrifice. *sigh* I guess some things do not change so quickly. Jai Ma!
