Beyonce: The Modern Day Goddess and Queen Beīeyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter is the ultimate modern-day goddess and all round Girl Boss. However, those who are not attached to their ego and are engaged in spiritual practice will see her as having overflowing love and kindness. A person who is too attached to his or her ego won’t accept Mother Kali into their life and therefore will see her in a terrifying form. It is said that when the ego sees Mother Kali, it trembles in fear and sees in her its eventual destruction and demise. She is only ever portrayed as killing demons and was never involved in the process of dying, like some of the other Hindu gods and goddesses were. Kali is a beautiful blue, many-armed Hindu goddess.

Since then, legend says that when the moon is full you can see Hina and her calabash, still there in her celestial home. Hina has close ties with the moon, after a failed attempt to climb to the sun (she was tortured and burnt alive by its intense heat) saw her going up to the moon to live there forever.
