🎈Marion’s World🎈

Emotional intensity, crisis, loss, revelation, transformation, raw, painful changes - that's 8th house for you. Kali maa is the signifier of everything that happens in this domain.

She rips apart illusions, exposes shadows, forces destruction and initiates rebirth.

Her sword cuts through our ignorance, illusions, maya. This is why awakening is so painful.

Her garland of heads represents the various faces of ego, that is, pride, greed, fear, shame, attachment, narcissism.

Her skirt of arms represents the detachment of sense of doership. We are not the doer of our action. Stop trying to control your life or the illusion of control.

Rebirth is only possible after complete destruction. That is why she decapitates the heads of demons (ego) otherwise they would cling to the past illusions by any means. Now we have no excuse, no rational, no justification to cling to the past although the society expects you to cling to the old life. It expects you to maintain normalcy. But Kali rips apart what we thought was normal.

Louis Shuster of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is known for the way his pared-down interiors make already large spaces look endless. In this remodeled oceanfront condominium, full slabs and twenty-inch honed-and-filled squares of honey-beige Navona Travertine, sleekly polished black granite, and a neutral color scheme create a sense of tranquility that seems to extend beyond the horizon.
