I heard somewhere that Devi means "goddess". Amazing picture.

A lot of reading and research for commission work has further peeked my interest in world myths... Especially the ones I believe go un-nknown or ignore, allow me greater freedom of concept!

Not much of an expert on Hindu mythology, but this is well done anyway. You have so much knowledge of the old myths! Where do you get your information?

It's an all too common mistake! But Shiva is a god not goddess, he is but one of three major deities in Indian Mythology the other two being Brahma (the creator), and Vishnu (the preserver), all three made up the "Triad" which held existence in balance... Indian deities are very fond of shape shifting, but Shiva is male...
