Hinduism - Who Is Goddess Korravai?

 

Korravai is a fierce version of the Goddess who is adored in southern India and was thought to be an autochthonous ("of the country") divinity at one time.

Korravai is linked to hunting and battlegrounds, and so to blood, death, and devastation.

She was subsequently associated with other ferocious forms of the Mother Goddess, notably the goddess Kali, perhaps as a result of these associations.

Secret Whispers of a Moonlit Sky

Oh beautiful Moon..

Oh beautiful Star...

By the waters of the Heavens, 

By the air which I breathe, 

By the fire in my heart, 

& By the Earth that kisses my feet, 

Shine your Love eternally and forever more unto my Soul. 

Blessed be our union, together we shall be made True & Whole )O(

Oh, ascendant Moon

When I saw you there

Resplendent flare, waxed gibbous

In the shadow of my setting star 

The woods are burning

Earth tide is turning

When I saw you near

In the shadow of the setting Sunlight

I couldn't resist your tender.. silver... kiss

Tears of pearls like the silent drift

Of petals and love from some magic rose;

When I saw you near

I'm glad to make you & my shadow into friends

You look so beautiful

Three in one I know we'll meet again & You'll look so beautiful

Shown affection by 

The cool breeze of the night

You'll look so beautiful

With every valiant step you take

Wear the dusk as your armor

The moment my heart got a grip of you

You can't hide from me that heart so pure

The sweet soft kiss of those Silver lips

Dear Moon, full and bright

Drive those tides insane tonight

When I see you near

Show me things like.. witnessing 

The beauty of this universe 

All at once in your eyes

Dear lustrous orb of silver light

Cloudy skies for weeks have veiled 

Thy brilliance from my eyes

But tonight I see thy glowing face 

Cool breeze caressed by your Silver rays 

Once more as in the past

I bask and bathe ripe in moonlight 

Watching Shadows play upon the grass. & You look so beautiful

Tonight, When I sleep neath your magic light 

Inside your lunar womb

The fragrant breeze of your memory 

Gathers the sweetest taste

Oh lustrous orb of silver light

As ripe and real 

As the memories we made

Let your moonbeams touch my soul & You shall look so beautiful and whole again... .

To light an endless flame

Remembering my foreverLove

From the fires within my Soul 

I dream a dream so deep into our Heart

Carry this Eternal Light right through the dark
There is a radar within my heart,

A Hymn to Diana

A Hymn to Diana

☽O☾

Statue of Diana as "The Spirit of Progress" atop a former Montgomery Ward administration building in Chicago, 
silhouetted against the second night of a Harvest Moon

Queene, and Huntresse, chaste, and faire, 

..Now the Sunne is laid to sleepe, 

Seated, in thy silver chaire, 

..State in wonted manner keepe: 

Hesperus intreats thy light, 

Goddesse, excellently bright.

  

Earth, let not thy envious shade 

..Dare it selfe to interpose; 

Cynthias shining orbe was made 

..Heaven to cleere, when day did close: 

Blesse us then with wishèd sight, 

Goddesse, excellently bright.

  

Lay thy bow of pearle apart, 

..And thy crystall-shining quiver; 

Give unto the flying hart 

..Space to breathe, how short soever: 

Thou that mak'st a day of night, 

Goddesse, excellently bright.

~Written by Ben Jonson (1572-1617): 

Hymn to <3 Diana❣ 

From Cynthias Revells (1601), Act V, Scene vi

A Beautiful Moon-rise

Dedicating this to...

'A Beautiful Moon-rise... '

☽O☾

True & just my Lady fair

Her beauty does unfold tonight

As secret whispers part Her lips

Her Mysteries wait to kiss our hearts

Charging high atop the clouds

Before our Goddess shining bright

...We dance around making sound!

With Circles left open... that stay unbroken

Her love and praises guard it this night

Lovely, round, bright, & sound

Dearest Full Moon shine your beauty down

& Wrap us warm in your silken gown

Love to you, My Dear Mother Moon

Guide us, & Nourish us

With your gentle rays

Goddess of mine, 

Goddess of yours

Goddess of ours...

Blessed be!!!

Diana of Versailles, A Closer Look | The Mythology of Greece and Rome

Versailles and Antiquity exhibition at the Palace of Versailles

Versailles and Antiquity presents the relationship between the palace and Greek and Roman mythology and history, bringing together over 200 works of art.

Diana of Versailles, A Closer Look

H. 2 m (6 ft. 6 ½ in.)

The Diana of Versailles is a slightly over lifesize marble statue of the Greek goddess Artemis, with a deer, located in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. It is a Roman copy of a lost Greek bronze original attributed to Leochares, c. 325 BC. Wikipedia

Artist: Barthélemy Prieur

Location: The Louvre

In this statue the goddess does not appear as a huntress, but rather as the protectress of a wild animal. She is conceived as having just come to the rescue of a hunted deer, and is in the act of turning with angry mien on the pursuers. With her right hand she grasps an arrow from the quiver that hangs at her back, and in her left she holds the bow.

The great barometer of Louis XV and Louis XVI.

Sickness

This dramatic sculpture was originally placed at the top of a fountain in the gardens of the Palace. It depicts Latona with her children Diane and Apollo imploring help from their father Jupiter.

Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty and pleasure

HER CUP IS ALWAYS FULL ;)
