The red Hibiscus is known as The Goddess Kali’s flower. It symbolizes devotion, passion, protection, and the vibrant energy she embodies. It is representative of Her protruding tongue and blood lust, which rescued the world from demons in Indian mythology. She represents the power to destroy evil and ignorance, clearing the path for spiritual growth and transformation. Her rage is seen as necessary for the preservation of cosmic order and the removal of obstacles. Despite her fearsome appearance, Kali is also associated with motherly love and protection. She is seen as a compassionate and nurturing force, fiercely defending her devotees and offering guidance and support in times of need.
In Gynarchy, its five petals are representative of the Five Steps the male devotee takes when stepping onto the path of devotion: surrender, submit, sacrifice, serve, survive.
