KALI ORACLE
ALANA FAIRCHILD
Matangi 26.
She is the ta***ic queen of outcasts, unveiling hidden inner power to thrive outside conventional society. She holds the secret teachings of the power of the voice, of the healing power of art and music. She is the divine feminine medicine for the lost, the alienated, and those who have been cast aside. If you have been denied love and respect, she brings healing and empowerment.
If you have suffered rejection, abandonment, or been labelled as unworthy in any way, she brings dignity and repair. She is the ignition of a creative, joyful and vibrant life path.
The ninth of the wisdom goddesses, Mahavidya Matangi, is a wild goddess, sparkling green in colour with a green parrot as her symbol. She dwells outside the confines of polite society. She eats stale food, a symbol of her power in the realm that has been discarded or rejected, and her ability to source power from that which others cannot recognise as having value. Matangi sees worth where others are not capable of noticing it, let alone honouring it.
She is for those souls going through the experience of being disrespected, discarded, not really seen, and not loved and valued for their true being. She is also for those who think, and seek to live, outside social, political, economic or religious systems and can thrive best by doing so.
Her association with pollution and unclean food represents her power to overcome impurity and toxic energies. These include poisons on all levels, from the many physical toxins in our modern world, to actions that appear holy on the surface but are rotten at the core, to the emotional and psychological poisons that steal away our peace and freedom. For those who recognise the spiritually dysfunctional lifestyles that typify mainstream mentality, who may feel uncertain or vulnerable as to how to cultivate wellbeing and protect the planet for future generations, she provides strength, courage and ingenuity.
Matangi opens the sacred pathway that bypasses fear and “moving with the crowd”, releasing constrictions to the soul and allowing for authenticity and a deep inner aliveness to emerge. You’ll know when this is happening because you will feel increasingly like yourself, responsible and free to create your path in life, while recognising how trapped and deadened so many are around you. You will feel grateful that you don’t fit in and determined to manifest something constructive with the gift of freedom and spiritual power that you’ve been able to access.
Matangi is the liberator, and her appearance in a reading implies you cannot find fulfilment in the dreams another has dreamed for you, nor in the values that mainstream society holds. You have a path and a purpose that needs to break with societal conditioning.
And sometimes, that will mean experiencing what it is to be an outsider. However, you are never alone, and really, you belong to a soul tribe of unique beings with Matangi as our spiritual queen. There is nothing wrong with being different. You can find a way to belong that does not compromise your essential self, but rather, frees and empowers you to belong to yourself, fully.
As the ta***ic emanation of Saraswati, Matangi opens us to the esoteric power of speech. This is the realm of poetry, speaking and writing that inspires and uplifts, the use of words in such a way that they have the power to change another’s state of being. Some may call this spellcasting. A beautiful teaching associated with Matangi is that the devotee must treat all women with reverence and respect. She will not manifest her blessings where the feminine is criticised or desecrated.
We use the power she gives to honour the sacred, and her power grows in us. To use such power to put another down is an act against the Goddess and will not manifest any benefit. So Matangi’s presence often indicates a time when we are learning this spiritual power and responsibility as our influence expands.
In a reading, she augurs the overcoming of a toxic pattern or situation. If you have been feeling at the mercy of another person or situation, she reassures you that you have the spiritual power within to claim your energy as your own.
She will assist you in shedding psychic contaminations or residues from others, and you need have no fear. As Matangi operates outside systems and convention, if you are feeling afraid or victimised within a system (of bureaucracy, for example), you are asked to seek sanctuary in her and trust in her overriding power.
No fasts or other purification rituals, no initiations or other forms of teaching are required to practise Matangi’s mantra. She encourages music and dance as a way to connect with her and receive her blessings. She reminds us that to the divine eye, we are loveable, worthy and acceptable as we are. Hers is a joyful path of the heart.
INVOCATION RITUAL
Start with saying this prayer:
Raja Matangi, queen of outcasts, who dwells beyond society and thrives. You arise at the thresholds in the spaces of desolation, abandonment and banishment. You are strength and sweetness. You are the extraordinary power that arises when all seems lost. You provide the knowledge needed to succeed and the path to overcome all obstacles through the power of the joyful spirit. May your wisdom manifest through all capable channels for the spiritual benefit of all beings. May our playful hearts take delight in yours! Jai Ma Matangi!
Intend, imagine or visualise that you are offering all your concerns on a vibrant-green plate, holding it out toward the beloved goddess, Matangi, who is shining as a bright-green sun. Out of that sun squawks and swoops a huge green parrot! The parrot grabs the offering plate in its beak and flies back with it until both are lovingly submerged into the sun. There is freedom of release and the promise of blessing.
Say the following mantra several times with joy in your heart:
Om Hrim Aim Srim Sri Matangeshvari Svaha.
(Sounds like, OM HREEM EYE’M SHREEM SRI MAT-TONGUE-GESH-VAAR-REE SWAH-HAH.)
Finish with your hands in prayer at your heart.
You have completed your healing process.
