I lis­tened to the In Our Time episode on Kali today while mak­ing a break­fast casse­role. While doing this, I con­clud­ed that the women I have been attract­ed to in my mature moments have always been the indomitable type. The only down-side is that these gals gen­er­al­ly ain’t roman­ti­cal­ly inter­est­ed in men who have the same ener­gy.

I once gave a Kali pen­dant to a woman I loved.

I like to think (most like­ly in my hubris) that if I ran into Kali, or Baba Yaga, or Hekate, or the Mor­ri­g­an; I would charm and befriend them. Good man­ners is always the win­ning play here, and usu­al­ly what you win is deli­cious food.
