Kali is the fierce form of Uma (Parvati), the female aspect of Shiva. Parvati has her own cycle of myths, and she herself emanates into different forms. Some branches of Hinduism consider the goddess to be the supreme creator divinity herself, who generated all the other gods, including Shiva. Kali is the wrathful form of the goddess generated in the midst of a battle with a demon that the gods failed to conquer. Kali was to drink his blood before any drop fell to ground, or else a new demon would instantly be generated. These demons are metaphors for human vices, such as egotistic pride and arrogance.
