History’s Baddest Goddesses: Feminine Rage in Hindu Mythology
Ever felt so angry you could summon a lion-riding goddess with eight arms? Same. In this fiery episode of For the Love of History, we’re diving headfirst into the blistering mythologies of Durga and Kali—the Hindu goddesses of war, protection, destruction, and yes… unapologetic feminine rage.
TK unpacks why these powerful deities shatter the Western ideal of the “demure mother goddess,” and instead offer us a vision of womanhood that embraces chaos, power, and divine vengeance. From Ashura-slaying sagas to blood-soaked epiphanies, this is the episode to tap into your inner rage monster—for righteous reasons, of course.
Along the way, we also chat about the origins of goddess worship, comic books that decolonize history, and the question we all need to ask ourselves: What would Kali do?
