Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Lately I have been feeling the increasing need to get down and personal with the Kundalini Goddess. Then after some research, pieces seemed to start coming together. My reason for posting this is I want to gain your perspectives on this. From what I am starting to deduce, there is a STRONG correlation between these Goddesses of different traditions: Shakti - Tiamat - Babalon. From my research, my own perception of Tiamat - which I have some history with - pretty much mirrors that of your perception of Shakti, to the point where they could even be considered different names of the same Goddess. Now of course this is where I start getting in too deep, and hence where I would like to hear your insights. Any thoughts to share on this matter?

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 They are all representations of the Sacred Feminine. So therefore they are different societies versions of that similar theme. The same Goddess. As far as Tiamat racing up the spine activating chakras as she goes there isnt as much of a historical pattern for her doing this and even though she is indeed a representation of the Sacred Feminine she may be more closely aligned to other aspects of that representation. I.E. fertility and procreation and nurturance, or even the creation myths associatd with her like this one from Wikpedia, as she represents the Mother Ocean. " In Babylonian mythology, Tiamat is the sea, personified as a goddess,and a monstrous embodiment of primordial chaos. In the Enûma Elish, the Babylonian epic of creation, she gives birth to the first generation of gods; she later makes war upon them and is split in two by the storm-god Marduk, who uses her body to form the heavens and the earth. She was known as Thalatt & #275; (as variant of thalassa, the Greek word for " sea " ) in the Hellenistic Babylonian Berossus' first volume of universal history, and some Akkadian copyists of Enûma Elish slipped and substituted the ordinary word for " sea " for Tiamat, so close was the association. " This doesnt follow the activation sequence as much as the Shakti associations do. Rather Tiamat follows more of a pattern similar to that of the Hindu goddess Kali with her violence and war making, I am certainly not limiting her to these expressions. - my take on it Richard X Born - blessings to you - chrism , " Richard Be X Born " <richard.bexborn wrote: > > Lately I have been feeling the increasing need to get down and personal > with the Kundalini Goddess. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
