Mama-Ji

Mama Kali - Dany Salme

This picture comes closest to how I imagined Mama-Ji when I read American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I imagined the red of her dress to be deeper and the woman herself to be older, but from all the pictures I found until now this comes closest. I like the two women in the back, in my mind they are different faces of the same goddess.

Her scent is:

Spices, cardamom, nutmeg, and flowers.

I realized today that it has become the scent I want to wear when I need extra power. The scent brings comfort too, but Mama-Ji, of course, is about power.
