Shiva

A while back I did a write up all about Horus, my alter God, well another God whom I feel a personally close with is Shiva, and so I thought I would now take the time to write a little on him.

Shiva is part of what is called the Tirunti, which is the tree Great Gods of the Hindu beleif, and include Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shive the destroyer.Though desipte his ominous sounding name, he is not viewed as an evil god, and he does have a two sided nature about him. As well as being a destroyer he is also a rejuvinator in some aspects. He is change both in the form of death and destruction, and on a positive note the shedding of old habbits, he also represents truth, goodness and beauty.

He is dipicted in many different ways, depending upon which aspcet of him is being represented, as the destoryer, he is often seen with snakes around him, and wearing a necklace of skulls, he is also commonly shown engaged in dance, this is the cosmic dance, it is said that the energy created by this dance is what sustains the universe, and another common image of Shiva is dipiciting him with a tridant white represents the Triunti.
