🛕🪔 शाक्त 🪔🛕

Shaktism (doctrine of energy, power, the eternal goddess), is one of several major Hindu denominations, wherein the metaphysical reality is considered metaphorically a woman and Maha Devi Shakti is regarded as the supreme godhead. It includes many goddesses, all considered aspects of the same supreme goddess. Shaktism has different sub-traditions, ranging from those focused on most worshipped Durga, gracious Parvati to that of fierce Kali. According to a 2010 estimate by Johnson and Grim, Shaktism is the third largest Hindu sect, constituting about 30 million or 3.2% of Hindus.

Some Forms of Maha Devi Shakti

Durga - Sits upon a tiger during Navaratri

Parvati - She is kind and tender and represents motherhood

Kali - Goddess of Time, Change, Creation, Power, Destruction and Death

Many Hindus worship Shakti as the divine mother who calls for absolute surrender. Yogis regard Shakti as the power, lying dormant within the body as a coiled serpent (kundalini), that must be aroused and realized to reach spiritual liberation. Shaktism is an essential part of Hindu Tantra, a system of practices involving the worship of the goddess and designed to empower and release both mind and body.

In popular worship, the goddess Shakti is known by many names; Hindus regard all female deities as her different manifestations and may refer to her simply as Devi (Goddess).

Ammavaru - according to Hindu belief, she is an ancient goddess who laid the egg that hatched Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. "Amma" means mother. She is thought to have existed before the beginning of time.

As Tripura Sundari, she is the complete supreme form. Here, she's enthroned with her left foot upon the Sri Chakra, holding her traditional symbols, the sugarcane bow, flower arrows, noose and goad.

Mother Of The Worthless

A respite for those fleeing from the light

Blighting the clean forever in the night

The fallen willow whispers her name

The wanderer and wonderer her siblings infamed

Ever descending

Her eyes unrelenting

Her darkness unrepenting

The pure forever scowl

As do the bound

At her eternal howl

#critical role #cr lb #ygifs #imogen #and now I'm like did imogen have her own reason for not even going near the raven queen did she pray to her for her mother #thinking her mother was dead was gone and the goddess of death had her and it was just a little girl praying at her bedside #take care of her mother. tell her how much she misses her. she misses her so much. and the raven queen never answered #and she could find no comfort not even in a deity who brought eternal rest there was no solace. and there was no correction #did she pick a god and pray? for her mother to come back. for her father not to hate her. for someone to look at her like shes not a monste #that all this time this certified atheist to have zero interest in the gods or helping them not because she genuinely didn't care #but because once upon a time the little girl she used to be cared so much. and prayed so hard. never seeing the red veil around her #damning her from the grace of the gods #and isn't that just what a monster deserves #not even a gracious god will find you special enough you feel like nothing to them because you are nothing to them #and it's like is that true or is such an evil force preventing their light and it's like I'm chewing but I'm choking #I had to stop looking at laura's face because it was making me too craaazzzyy she'd just be like (bafta) and I'd be like (SCREAMING)#hey matt if this is a birdcall to make imogen a paladin tweet tweet beautiful man

Hear me out.

I 1000% agree that non-godhood, orb-free, romanced professor Gale is the best ending. He and Tav are SO happy and in love, Tara approves, Gale’s mom isn’t sad, it’s nothing but good things and I absolutely adore it and it will have a place in my heart forever.

I also agree that in the Godhood ending, while Gale retains aspects of his former self, he has changed. His most precious human qualities have been replaced with ambition and pride. And you can’t ignore the fact that Tara is now unhappy, Gale’s mother misses her son, Elminster is distraught and feels responsible for Gale having chosen this path, and there’s the possibility of looming disaster in the future as described by Raphael.

…and yet…

…seeing how much God Gale still loves Tav—and knowing they’ll get to spend an eternity together—is pretty damn wonderful, too.

(Note, playthrough not mine, I captured these screenshots from a public YouTube video posted by user MUNMOMUU)

#I guess I would end up as the Goddess of Simps because I wouldn’t be able to turn God Gale’s offer down either #I don’t want to be a Goddess or him to be a God but I would love him too much to say goodbye #Despite everything I’m just glad he’s got an ending where he gets an eternity with his beloved Tav #Bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #gale x tav #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #spoilers #bg3 epilogue spoilers

The One Who Waits: what if its Death?

Death is what waits for everyone. She's inescapable. She's inevitable. It makes sense the Toymaker, a creature of eternal play, would stay away from the embodiment of Ending.

Not to mention rtd is clearly still going with exploring the Doctor's past and Death is tied to at least one version of the Doctor's origin

Between the duo in Can You Hear Me, Time in Flux, and the Toymaker in The Giggle, the show has been inching back towards eternals and godlike creatures.

Wouldn't it be cool if Death was next?

#i saw a clip of rtd talking about gods and 'goddesses' they could bring back in the new series #and HELLO #death your problematic queen??#doctor who #dw spoilers #dw speculation #do not mention leaks if there are any i dont want to know #doctor who death eternal #doctor who eternals #dweu #the giggle #the one who waits #vnas #dw lore #<- someone tagged that and yesss the LOREEEEEEE

Blessed Theogamia to All!

May the divine marriage of Zeus and Hera, our King and Queen, serve as a joy to all. May you receive Their generosity in your own marriage, and may you and your spouse be blessed.

Orphic Hymn 14 - Hymn to Zeus

O Zeus much-honor'd, Zeus supremely great, to thee our holy rites we consecrate,

Our pray'rs and expiations, king divine, for all things round thy head exalted shine.

The earth is thine, and mountains swelling high, the sea profound, and all within the sky.

Kronion king, descending from above, magnanimous, commanding, sceptred Zeus;

All-parent, principle and end of all, whose pow'r almighty, shakes this earthly ball;

Ev'n Nature trembles at thy mighty nod, loud-sounding, arm'd with light'ning, thund'ring God.

Source of abundance, purifying king, O various-form'd from whom all natures spring;

Propitious hear my pray'r, give blameless health, with peace divine, and necessary wealth.

Orphic Hymn 15 - Hymn to Hera

O Royal Hera of majestic mien, aerial-form'd, divine, Zeus' blessed queen,

Thron'd in the bosom of cærulean air, the race of mortals is thy constant care.

The cooling gales thy pow'r alone inspires, which nourish life, which ev'ry life desires.

Mother of clouds and winds, from thee alone producing all things, mortal life is known:

All natures share thy temp'rament divine, and universal sway alone is thine.

With founding blasts of wind, the swelling sea and rolling rivers roar, when shook by thee.

Come, blessed Goddess, fam'd almighty queen, with aspect kind, rejoicing and serene.
