The Goddess Kali is about empowerment...

...not about being angry- a convenient misunderstanding for those who love to be freaked out by Kali. Many Hindu saints and sages were devoted to her as a manifestation of the Divine. She is a protectress. Of course there are the thug sects of Hinduism who are devoted to Kali and practice animal sacrifice, but then Shiva has some strange supporters too. For that matter, Christianity has some wierd history. Killing people by roasting them like butterball turkeys at a stake or in a Burning Man-sized cage comes to mind. All in the name of belief. And yet there are beautiful Christians out there who follow what Jesus actually taught, just as there are Kali devotees who are learning to love their jackass neighbors...
