She is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment, or shakti (SHAKTI!!!). She is the mighty aspect of the goddess Durga. The name of Kali means the black one and force of time. She is therefore called the Goddess of Time, Change, Power, Creation, Preservation and Destruction. Her earliest appearance is that of a destroyer principally of evil forces. So when I say I have an altar for the goddess of destruction people don't really get it and I understand. But Kali has helped me to destroy my lack of belief in myself, my fears, and many of my worries. It's not just random destruction, though one must be careful with such a powerful force. Sometimes you get what you ask for, tenfold. I am filled with strength and gratitude. In this life THIS was the mother I was handed. I'll take it.

She is a part of the trinity of Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. All the three forms help the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva to create, maintain and regenerate-recycle the Universe respectively. The earliest known mention of Saraswati as a goddess is in Rigveda. She has remained significant as a goddess from the Vedic period through modern times of Hindu traditions. Some Hindus celebrate the festival of Vasant Panchami (the fifth day of spring) in her honour, and mark the day by helping young children learn how to write alphabets on that day. The Goddess is also revered by believers of the Jain religion of west and central India, as well as some Buddhist sects.

Shiva meaning "The Auspicious One" is one of the three major deities of Hinduism. He is worshiped as the supreme god within Shaivism, one of the three most influential denominations in contemporary Hinduism. At the highest level, Shiva is regarded as formless, limitless, transcendent, and unchanging. Shiva has many benevolent and fearsome depictions. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash as well as a householder with wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons.
