Golden shimmering, expressive Kali statue made of brass - 23 cm high, 1700 grams heavy.
Kali! The goddess who dances with skulls... probably the most terrifying of the images created by the Indian gods. It shows us something that we intellectually know, but deep in our hearts – perhaps – fear: death. The death of certainties, securities, life? Kali brings your demons to light - if you entrust yourself to her.
She rules time, for she belongs to Kala; she dances the dance of creation and knows: every end holds a beginning. Like Shiva Nataraj in the divine dance, she knows about becoming and passing, the constant change that is part of life. Kali is revered as the divine mother who takes life and gives life. She stands for change, and her wrath is not directed against humans, but against demons and injustice. It is the demons within us that you can confront with Kali. And under Kali's protection, you can defeat them. To constant change in life!

Kali is one of the oldest goddesses proven by name and is worshipped as "the Black One" (from Kaala - black or time). Her color stands for the earth, where life is also a cycle, new life arising from death (of plants...). Kali stands for the wild, archaic force of nature. And also for the Kali Yuga - the age in which people forget their divine nature. But she can also remind us of our divine nature :)
