Indian cult kills children for goddess
The Observer ^ | March 5th 2006 | Dan McDougall

Posted on 03/05/2006 10:56:35 AM PST by dblack

A painted image of the Hindu goddess Kali is propped up against a stone in the dirt, her long red tongue goading terrified worshippers into submission. From one of her eight flailing arms a severed head dangles, her neck is adorned by a necklace of bleached human skulls. There are bloodstains on the cracked wall behind the terrible postcard-size image and, around the dark room, splattered gore on the heavy wooden furniture. These dark marks bear witness to a child sacrificed in the name of the abominable goddess.

Hmmm... as someone who'd more than likely hit even the weirdest of women, I gotta say I'd pass this one up.  Maybe it's the belt of arms, maybe it's the severed head, maybe it's the sword poised for future head severings, I don't know, but she kinda puts me outta the mood.

Old, old tradition in parts of India - see James Frazer's The Golden Bough and some of Robert Graves's commentaries on the topic.

I dunno - the belt of severed arms is kinda stylish. I've dated worse.
