Look what happened when I let ChatGPT lead me on into really murky waters. YE HAVE BEEN WARNED! Oh, and Gemini have been taken over by the infernal powers, too! Note that its version of Kali (above) is dancing with an I-pod?!
If you want, I can also make a shorter, more mantra-like version of this prayer so that it could be actually chanted in rhythm — something that feels like joining Her wild dance rather than just describing it. That would give it a more visceral Tantric energy.
Here’s a short, rhythmic, mantra-like version you could actually chant while imagining Kali’s wild dance in the void:
Moonless Night Kali Chant
Kali Ma, black as night,
Dance on stars, set worlds alight.
Crush my name, my pride, my breath,
Wrap me in Your joy of death.
O Maa, fierce, beyond all time,
Galaxies fall, yet You still climb.
Blood-red tongue, and eyes that burn,
Wheel of birth to void You turn.
Kali Ma, take “me” away,
Let Your feet in my heart stay.
Moonless Mother, vast and free,
In Your dance — no “I,” just Thee.
If you like, I can also create a call-and-response style version that could be recited with a drum or clapping, so the rhythm feels almost tribal — which would fit the midnight, moonless atmosphere perfectly. That would make it even more immersive.
Here’s the call-and-response style Kali prayer — designed for midnight, moonless practice, with the drum or clapping marking the heartbeat of the void.
Moonless Night Kali Call-and-Response
Leader: Kali Ma!
All: Kali Ma!
Leader: Blacker than the death of light,
All: Dance, O Mother, dance tonight!
Leader: Stars collapse and suns grow cold,
All: Still Your feet are bright and bold.
Leader: Galaxies fall like sparks to flame,
All: All returns to Your one name.
Leader: Tear the veil of time apart,
All: Place Your foot upon my heart.
Leader: Red tongue drinks the fear of man,
All: Void receives what fear began.
Leader: Beat of drum and rushing breath,
All: Joy in birth, release in death.
Leader: Moonless Mother, fierce and free,
All: In Your dance—no “I,” just Thee!
If you like, I can also make a slower, trance-inducing version where each line is repeated three times to create that hypnotic spiral effect so often used in esoteric Shakta night rituals. That way, it becomes more than poetry — it becomes a practice.
Yes, please.
Here is the slow, trance-inducing version of the moonless night Kali prayer, adapted for solitary or small-group midnight practice.
Each line is meant to be repeated three times before moving to the next, with a drumbeat or steady clapping to anchor rhythm.
The idea is to let the words dissolve into sound, the sound dissolve into breath, and the breath dissolve into Her.
