"is said to provide a rapid boost to one's spiritual growth, although once again the results may be unexpected and drastic" (http://siddha-yoga.tripod.com/mantras1.htm)

According to tantra, some mantras are more effective than others depending on our spiritual state. Particular sounds activate different god energies and chakras, and their inherent powers can be realised by correct chanting and intent.

9 of CUPS RX
JUDGEMENT RX
TOWER

The reversed 9 of cups is a signal to go deeper. Make a point to deepen - or to begin - your spiritual practice in whatever way you are drawn to do so.
Judgment rx talks of being open to change
Tower - well things will change, rather dramatically.

Otherwise, if it weren't about Kaali, it would mean a definite no, IMO.

I don't use reversals, but if I did, I would see no point in using them other than reading them as the reversed meaning of the original card.
Very interesting spread.
Why Kaali?

According to this vision: 10 of sw: hitting the bottom. 10 of sw rx: staying there (the reversed card shows the man impaling himself in those swords even better).

I actually don't use or agree with this, but I just wanted to point it out, as an alternative view. For me, 10 of sw rx means getting up after hitting the bottom (or giving up victim mentality, which is pretty much the essence of this card, rather than actually hitting the bottom in realistic terms) It represents, together with 8 of sw reversed, abandoning an ilusionary prison built mostly by someone's own mind.

Interestingly, that sounds exactly like the accounts of how this mantra would affect one. Bringing to light false notions about oneself, to clear away delusions and build a fresh view. So 9 rx (if cups is similar) together with Judgement rx seems appropriate in this context.

Ah yes! My worst fear would be that I am incapable of spiritual growth. It is not likely to happen in this lifetime. Now that is just plain illogical! Or that I become morbidly obese, bankrupt, fail exams, and many more....

Otherwise it would have been a big pleasant nirvanic YES experience.
Unleashing Kaali means facing your worst fears, your worst nightmare

I'm not sure what you mean by fear of not growing spiritually, since this is inevitable. There's a huge universal network pushing you towards it.
You mean you feel you are incapable of changing, psychologically, or on behavioral level? Or?

I think you need to determine your worst nightmare, your worst fear(s) by taking a piece of paper and writing them on it, in a very concrete manner. If they're more than 5, you are probably suffering from general anxiety.

Only after you do that, you work with Kaali, to face them and release them.

Those references to anxieties were meant as a joke. Bad one! I'm fairly optimistic and seem to have a consistent belief that i will come to no harm. Had a lovely dream of giving birth to shakti, the goddess a few months ago, which I trust. Of course, all of this could be turned on its head.

I think the dark night of the soul phenomenon occurs before great transformations, as it did for Ekhart Tolle. Those people write books and lead others. I don't think I fall in that category, so I may be spared .

I pulled more cards for the question what do I have to be careful about:
Temperance, 5 or Swords, Wheel of Fortune

So, it ain't going to be easy, Some conflict but then a peaceful outcome. If my interpretation is correct.

A couple of weeks ago, I tried one those free tarot readings on Bitwine given by new readers. I asked about the bf (what else!) and got an interesting response. This reader was an empath/intuitive. Here's an excerpt:

"Cards: The Tower, Seven of Cups and Nine of Swords

Looks as though there is a cleansing coming up for you. The Tower is indicating to me that there will be a proverbial Big Explosion in your life and this will include many things....not just your relationship. Some long held ideas that you have had about life are about to change. This cleansing has been long in the making. You have needed it for a very long time. It will happen despite you..it is not something you can stop. It is necessary. It will change your view on the world. It will be completely different from what you believed before, and it is good for all concerned..."

Shouldn't the interpretation have been about the relationship?

I think the spread may show an inability to make up one's mind (from one side or the other or both) which causes significant stress and pain (9 of sw) to the point that the person needs a Tower.
