Kapalika and Aghori and tantrics in general prefer destructive images because they aspire (not always and not without ambiguity) to escape the cycle of rebirths, Samsara (it should be remembered that Hindus believe in reincarnation), returning to the formless purity of the Self. This is more or less their system, they basically are or were Hindus and have their own culture, why do I care? Because it is full of interesting consequences, I don’t care if, due to their own cultural limitations, they did not want to grasp these consequences. The most important: if this Self has as its inherent nature that of creating forms, it does not make much sense to aspire to disappear into the Ocean of Pure Consciousness, given that by its nature and game the Self does nothing but create and be the spectator hidden behind the infinite existences, so much so that reincarnation is stigmatized as something painful and to be avoided when in reality the Self, unique (because in reality the little selves that are our souls are illusions) “migrates” into an infinity of existences! According to almost all systems, this is what happens: with its Illusion/Energy, while remaining immobile and immutable in itself (the image of Shiva as a Yogin and Ascetic is due to this in fact) the Self veils and limits itself until it reaches “little selves”, our souls, which are also pure consciousnesses but obviously with limited potential and capacity compared to the only Self. These “little selves” in turn veil and limit their pure consciousness and thus enter the cycle of rebirths.The interesting thing is that both we and the Lord are “little selves”, souls, the difference is the Lord, who these groups call Shiva, is aware of being the Self, we are not, and this is what allows him to stay in the Illusion/Energy like a “spider that gets entangled” in its web, that is, to master it, while we cannot!
