The Goddess Kali
You are like the Goddess Kali. Kali is the Goddess
of time and of the transformation of death.
People use Kali for many purposes the good
and the bad. Kali's blackness symbolizes her
all-embracing, comprehensive nature, because
black is the color in which all other colors
merge; black absorbs and dissolves them.
Which Kali has the power of doing. Like her,
you do the same. You have a stong intensity
between the two (good and bad) You can go
beyond all quality and form or go all against
it.
Click on the PLAY icon to listen to Doomsday's Live365 Radio Station, with shows featuring many of the artists she listens to.
"There is no light, nor any motion.
There is no mass, nor any sound.
Still, in the lampless heart of the ocean,
Fasten me down and hold me drowned
Within thy womb, within thy thought,
Where there is naught-where there is naught!"
- by Aleister Crowley, From "Kali"
Who I'd like to meet:
What is your style of Gothic Beauty?
Classic New Romantic: You are the gothest of the Goth, your pale skin and raven hair fool mourners into thinking you are a living ghost as you slink around a graveyard with your sketch book. You are the epitome of the scene; you listen to the right music, wear beautifully tailored gowns and are intelligent enough to hold your own against normal people who accuse you of being Satanic. You have a tight circle of friends who you do everything with and they understand when you need time alone. You see beauty where others see dirt, you're creative flair will lead you down paths that only people can dream about. You seem unapproachable but that is just your icy exterior, there are times when you open up, most often when you've had more wine than usual! You wear your dark cape and gothic jewelled chokers with a regal air you were born with. Your motto is "There is beauty in darkness" Take this quiz!
Blessings of crisp orange leaves and cold black mud as we fully embrace the dark half of our new year in the Northern Hemisphere! (AnotherMaine.com Photo)

So, I just posted a new topic on the Forum>MySpace>General thusly:
--- Most Wiccans consider themselves Pagan, but most Pagans aren't necessarily Wiccan. There is a huge number of religious belief systems under the Umbrella of Paganism that aren't covered by the current 'Wiccan' choice in the profile editor.
Any chance 'Pagan' can be added so that we don't have to use just 'Other'?
Thank you for your consideration.
---- Do you think that having all the Pagans on MySpace add to that thread that they'd like the change too the best way to get that change made or is there some direct line to MySpace owner, Rupert Murdock's desk?
