Navratri : Nine day festival of the Divine Feminine

[Ajay]

Hello everyone, ☺️

 

The 9 day Navratri festival is being celebrated by Hindus around the world from last week onwards, and  is from 15-10-23 (Sunday) to 24-10-23 (Tuesday).

 

The Navratri festival is conducted in reverence of the Mother Goddess Durga. As per Shakta philosophy of Hinduism, all women and females are manifestations of the Divine Mother and reverence towards them results in auspiciousness and strength.

Thanks for posting! I've been so focused on the eclipses and Saturn fast ... this reminds us that Navratri lends a good vibe to these heavy energies, too.

Thank you @Ajay for this.  I have enjoyed reading about the 9 faces of Durga, and interested there are colour associations as well.  

food for rumination.

Ganjifa cards are perhaps the Indian Tarocchi.

I don't know if they were ever used for fortune-telling.

Nonetheless, here's Durga as a Ganjifa card. Followed by a Strength Tarot card.
