Kali-Ma
AUM! OM! OM! OM! I am forever YOURS, oh my great and wonderful LOVE! I dedicate myself forever and always to your explosive beauty and your terrifying horror!
It will be my focus, generally, to feature Kali on Her own here, with certain important exceptions.
Mother Kali
Benign and socially-integrated images of the Mother Kali (Kali-Ma).
Kali surrounded by phases of a girl's and woman's life; from devotees website: Kāli Maa Conceptual Devotional Exploration
Kali nursing; modern; from Etsy
Tantric Kali / Smashana Kali
Images of Kali on cremation grounds, especially. These icons are more brutal and frightening than the domestic Mother or amorous Lover graphics.

Kali seated upon a corpse and his spirit
Smashana Kali (Cremation Grounds Goddess), traditional from a blog; also features Shiva

The heart of the Nautilus; Captain Nemo (a Sikh warrior) worships in private at his Kali shrine on board; "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" film (fiction), still; it seems likely that She has one foot atop the body of Shiva, lying on the floor
A demon temple for thuggees; "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" film (fiction), still
