“The womb is where babies are created, and grown, and from where they are birthed. It is the home of our creativity, the wellspring of our vital feminine energies. The womb is the matrix from which our life force rises and to which it returns. It is the hub of our energetic and physical bodies. The womb is also where we experience death. Our moon blood, our menstruation, is a sign that an ovum (...) has died without being fertilized by the sperm (...); it passes out of our bodies with the now unneeded uterine lining that the womb created for the possibility of growing a baby. Without fertilization, this living-nourishing matrix dies and leaves our bodies in our monthly flow (which by the way is one of the most concentrated forms of śakti in our bodies).” ReligionSpiritualityKali Book:In Praise of Adya Kali: Approaching the Primordial Dark Goddess Through the Song of Her Hundred Names Source: In Praise of Adya Kali: Approaching the Primordial Dark Goddess Through the Song of Her Hundred Names
