Kaladhara

She is not bound by appearances, opinions, or material limitations. She is both the void and the infinite creative potential that arises from it. Do not be afraid of uncertainty. If you feel you are without resources, take comfort now. Where there is lack, she restores abundance. She can bring forth exquisite blessing, and glorious manifestation from the sacred expanse of nothingness. Your soul can rely upon her completely. Cast your fears away. Hers is the power of the Universe, combined with a generosity of grace.

When hope is lost, and a way forward cannot be sensed, Kaladhara arises as a reminder of the endless creativity and resourcefulness of the Divine Feminine. Her love will always find a way. If the way does not exist yet, then it shall be created. If you cannot see or feel how to move from where you are now to where you want to be, Kali’s wisdom, and grace manifest to provide what is needed at the perfect time. Prepare yourself by regularly connecting to your heart as you remain open to receive inner guidance on how to proceed. Also, take rest and be at peace in your connection with her. If inhibiting or obstructing forces are at work, she knows how to use them so that we grow stronger rather than weaker, and when the time is right, annihilate them, thus ceasing their influence over us or our affairs.

The presence of Kaladhara reassures us that during those times when nothing appears to be happening in our outer world, there can be much of value taking place at an inner level. It is possible to learn how to see, sense, and feel the subtle inner workings of the soul. It requires a willingness to withdraw our faith from appearances and to no longer limit, our sense of what is real to the physical world. We can practice dropping beneath the limited perceptions of the five senses by willingly entering into the sacred darkness of unknowing, the cosmic void.

When one sense is minimized, others are heightened. When we are willing to let go of the idea that the physical world is absolute, we can develop our innate capacity for extraordinary, extra sensory perception, and tune into the sixth sense of the soul. We can learn to trust what we intuitively sense, even in the absence of external confirmation.

When we into it at such a level, we gain the ability to recognize the truth beyond appearances. Rather than seeing the surface of the Earth as bare  and becoming desperate, we can joyfully sense that within the depths of the soil, a seed is gathering life force, and will soon crack open to become a lush green shoot then a plant that blooms with flowers and fruit. Kaladhara brings guidance that something barely discernible is stirring within, which has the potential to become a beautiful manifestation. She reminds us that nothing is ever hopeless, no matter how much the mind may believe so. Through trust in her, we become an active expression of the solution to any difficulty.

Kali Kaladhara bears the crescent moon. The moon in Crescent form shows us there is light but not full clarity. It does not mean that clarity does not exist, that the full light of the sun no longer exists, but that for a time, there can only be partial vision or understanding. This may not be a concern because we can trust in the Divine Mother who has complete understanding always. Where we are lacking and skill or capacity in any given moment, she more than makes up for the deficit. If what you sent lax clarity, you need not worry. Even though with excellent perception cannot know certain things, and that is no reason to be concerned. We can trust that the Divine Mother knows what is happening and what is needed. When the divine timing is right, you shall see the greater picture more clearly. Until then, proceed with care and only do what feels necessary in the moment, understanding that you shall have a different perspective later.

The oracle of Kaladhara marks the ending of a cycle after the full moon when things have gone as far as they can go, and the initiation of a fresh cycle following the black or new moon one what has fallen away shall rise again and revised form. Our beloved Kali Kaladhara, cosmic, lunar, priestess, Bhairavi: she who controls the changes, taking place in the Universe in our lives. We can trust her timing and our own process. Stay true to your inner work and know that your efforts shall bear fruit.
