11.8.16 Makali, Goddess of Destruction
Makali, Goddess of Destruction, is the conscious divine embodiment of the principle of destruction, whether that destruction be material, ethereal, or symbolic in nature. She may come as gentle as a slow dawning of realisation to a man deep in meditation, or with all the force of a volcanic eruption or planets colliding in the deepness of space. One edge of Her blade cuts with dissolution, loss and separation, the other: renewal and transformation. Most mortals who have had no experience with the Goddess of Destruction often fall into two broad categories. The first (and more common) may fear and despise Her, suffering the delusion that the principle of destruction is somehow anathema to the principle of creation. Others may seek Her out under the assumption that the formidable powers of destruction are merely for harnessing to service their own personal goals and interests. Only a remaining few of those who seek Her will be capable of comprehending the primal nature of the Goddess of Destruction, and a smaller number of those still will ever find Her. Her teachings are not easy ones for mortals who, cursed with the limited conceptions of the less-than-immortal but the more- than-unconscious, cling to illusions of permanence in a reality pulsating with constant flux. In the year 395 A.F., Makali, Goddess of Destruction, was merged with the goddess Maya, Mother of Humanity. Through this union She became Maya, the Great Mother, Supreme Creatrix. Also see: HELP MAYA
