Kali Yantra

She is your inner power to evoke a positive shift in your circumstances. If anything required for success, be lacking, the Divine Mother shall provide it, bridging the divide between you and the manifestation of your intentions. You are crossing a critical Spiritual threshold. She is the true guardian and guide. Stay focused on what matters in your heart, and you shall remain faithfully connected to her protective presence within. Allow distractions to fall away and continue to commit to your soul journey. A more beautiful experience of your life path awaits you.

A yantra is a sacred geometric representation of the particular reality of a specific divine being. Here, it is a symbolic and actual entry into the sacred realm, the inner world, the universe of Kali. In gazing at a yantra, allowing our minds to settle and focus upon it, the soul can turn the subtle inner key that opens the gateway to merging with the Divine. It is a visual trigger that opens the inner doors of higher perception and mystical reconnection to our divine nature. Contemplating a yantra is a method for mystical meditation, the meditation that brings the heart into unity with a higher consciousness of Kali within.

As we activate the yantra with our beings and connect with the divine energy it offers, the enlightened body of the deity constellates itself through us. The clearer we are within ourselves and the more connected we become with a deity, the stronger, the multilevel, multidimensional, multidirectional mandala of grace shines forth through us for the spiritual benefit of all beings. In a reading, this signifies that Kali is already working with you.

The Kali yantra, in particular, is a signifier of the downward flow of grace. It is oriented to the material world and all matters related. It is the cosmic trip switch for Spiritual energy to be attracted toward earth. It unveils the divine luminosity beneath appearances, and when needed, heals and transforms material reality to align with the higher divine will. The yantra of Kali is alchemical and reconstructive. The healing that can emerge through it is unrestricted because she is the spacious, vastness of primordial being. She is the birth of all phenomena, which permeates all phenomena, and can transform it all according to her Divine will. In a reading, this indicates a transformation of a physical concern, so it aligns with the spiritual will of the universe.

The downward-facing triangular formations in the center of the yantra symbolize, the regenerative power of the Divine Feminine. You only have to look at how our Earth Mother recovers after fire, flood, and famine to recognize the wisdom power of the divine feminine to renew and restore, even after tremendous destruction. The color red is the blood red of life force, Kali’s preferred fuel for destruction and rebirth. Gray represents the liminal realms – neither the lack of night nor the brightness of day, but the place in between. Many cultures recognize this as the medial realm, a place where magic is most potent. Although Kali is associated with waning moon cycles and darkest night, she is also a medial goddess, a soul doula, a birth and death mother safely, guiding us through the transitions and thresholds of our inner and outer lives. In a reading, this indicates that there is power and feeling as though you no longer belong to the past, nor are anchored fully in a new way. Kali will manifest her will in the spaces of unknowing, molding, and guiding you from within, so your path will be fulfilling to your heart.

The subtle channels of energy unlocked through intentional engagement with yantras are further empowered through the placement of hands in a particular posture called mudra.  The Kali mudra is created by interlocking your fingers and placing the left thumb over the right, with the index fingers together and extended to an upward pointing position. The energy channels of the body are more readily permeated with Kali’s essence of fearlessness and strength through assuming this posture. The strong, direct nature of the mudra with the ‘left’ thumb on top generates clarity of action from feminine wisdom and receptivity, rather than masculine logic and will to direct. Let your instincts rather than your logic lead you forward at this time.

And connecting with the yantra, amplified by the mudra, we are powerfully invoking Kali. On a human level, that empowers us to use physical, emotional and psychological obstacles and pain to broker our transformation. As you become increasingly attuned to the feeling and sensation of Kali’s presents, you will be able to send her power coursing through your subtle body as you assume the mudra and view the yantra with conscious intention to connect with her.

If you have been feeling weak or vulnerable, remember that you are a powerful divine being. You do not need to act from fear. Instead, trust the inner guidance of the heart as to how and when to act. Finally, this Oracle is a notice of supreme protection. If you suspect that you have been the subject of negative energy work or projections from others, that you are being blocked or sabotaged (intentionally or otherwise), the Oracle of Kali Yantra is the medicine of clearing and protection that shall nullify the effect. There is no need to dwell upon negative workings of power, Norby, intimidated by worldly authority. Place your faith and the ultimate power of the divine.

Invocation Ritual

Begin by propping up the Oracle card so you can see it easily, while your hands are free to create the mudra. When you are ready, say this prayer:

Ma Kali, bless, protect and heal me with your wisdom and enlightened activity for the spiritual benefit of all beings.

Repeat this, her mantra, eight times:

Om Krim Kalikayai Namaha.

(Sounds like, OHM KREEM CAR-LEE-KAI-YAY NAM-AH-HUH.)

Focus on the image of the yantra and the mudra, then close your eyes and allow for Kali’s energy, and blessings to fill you. Breathe out. Relax. Let it pour down and then expand outward through all aspects of your being. Let her her presence infuse your being as though you are pure, clean water, and she is deep, black, healing, Divine feminine tea seeping through your being, bringing blessing, healing, regeneration, and protection. You may feel that you are stepping into the yantra. If so, this is a multidimensional experience of her divine being, infusing every cell and radiating all around you. Finish with a soft chant:

Kali Ma Sohum.

You have completed your ritual of invocation.
