Mahakali, Kalika, Bhadrakali, or simply Kali, is the Hindu goddess of ultimate power. She is regarded as the ultimate manifestation of Shakti, and the mother of all living beings.
Goddess Kali destroys evil in order to protect the innocent; she is perceived as the divine and most brutal protector and the one who bestows moksha, aka liberation, in all possible forms.
Goddess Kali calling…
One thing you, as a reader, need to understand is that Kali never comes calling. You call on her, for protection, for aid, or for the strength to accept what you cannot change, and change what you cannot stand.
Kali is a ruthless deity, and she knows no reason, nor logic; she is a deity that does first and asks questions later, and she is one of this world’s deities that do not dwell in the light(er) realms, instead, she does her work and undertakings in the deep dark.
Thus, here you’ll read about the signs that urge you to pray and call upon Kali for aid or support. Either way, you’re the one getting touch in with her, not the other way around.
And a word of caution – getting in touch with this fierce goddess is no child’s play. You should have a bloody good reason and serious guts in order to get this goddess’ attention.
When does Goddess Kali reach out? & 7 Signs of Her Calling
1st sign
Initially, you feel like you’re stuck in a rut; you’re battling with sad states of mind, and you feel the need for change, but you lack the initiative, courage, or guts. Adversely, you feel the need for change, but some greater and more powerful forces are in play against you, keeping you immobile in your lower state of being.
So as a 1st clear sign, you might start seeing her regalia like skulls and bones, bloody feet, and blood-red flowers, and smell sulfur or rot in the air from time to time. You might also be subject to seeing more black women, or women who have a really dark tan, like night-dark, whether in person or on the TV/social media.
2nd sign
Hearing or seeing bats, even having a bat enter your home, can also be a clear sign of Kali communicating with you.
3rd Sign
You’re experiencing a lot of cuts and blood-spilling without an obvious or apparently logical reason. Not only that, but you also note a lot of sword imagery, and or tongue-biting (when you’re eating, speaking or else).
These signs mean that you are called to seek Kali’s help in healing and activating your Sacral chakra. Especially if you find yourself stuck in a very toxic relationship (whether present or past) that needs cord-cutting.
Remember, there’s no one better for purging the emotional evil-doers and toxic partners preventing you from living your best life, than Kali. You just need to be very specific about wording your calls and prayers to her about this particular request.
4th Sign
Smelling honey and orange-colored flowers around you, dreaming of her, and seeing deep-blue color either on people or in people’s eyes can also be a very firm sign that she is getting in touch with you.
5th sign
Struggling with lust. This is something that a lot of people (miserably) fail to admit to themselves.
Kali is a no-nonsense gal, and when these types of touchy subjects are in question – she is the best and most fulfilling help you can get. Most people who struggle with this, stem from an emotional emptiness, unfulfillment, or from severe emotional trauma.
Either way, overbearing lust, points to the need to face our innermost wounds and desires without looking away. For most people, this is a very strenuous and hard task, which is why Kali Ma can come to your aid and give you not just courage, but also the strength to face the darkest corners of your being, and purge them with healing light.
6th Sign
Seeing people perform a ritual dance, feeling the need to dance, or hearing music that nobody else can hear are also very clear signs from Kali.
7th sign
Having or experiencing breathing/sleep issues, or night-choking. This can point to occult/astral attacks, or to a deeper struggle within yourself, to speak your truth. Consider asking Kali for help if this is the case, especially if you were a victim of abuse in the past.
Yes, Kali can help protect you from astral and otherwise magical attacks, curses, and hexes; and she can help you release the ‘victim mentality’ and speak up your truth boldly and proudly.
Kali is a wonderful being to seek help from when you want to cut ties with not just your oppressor, but also with a version of yourself that has identified too deeply with the role of one being oppressed.
How do you know that your calls to Goddess Kali have been Answered?
When Kali Ma answers your prayers, you will know. You can get this innate feeling of raw power and strength; feeling brave and daring, a sense of lightness between your shoulders, and a feeling at peace in the dark.
Also, seeing skulls, curved swords and orange jewelry around you is a pretty solid sign that Kali has taken notice of your pleas.
Lastly, peacock feathers and iron can become quite frequent symbols in your daily life if you’ve invoked her name and asked for her power, too.
