 Dear Mystress 
 
> the Kali Mother Goddess being forgotten, forbidden, then rediscovered 
This is true in Hinduism particularly. 
The worship of the Divine Shakti is forgotten and even forbidden 
Then, it is rediscovered and gains energy and momentum 
 
There was one Supreme Mystic by name, Sri Ramakrishna 
He worshipped Kali, the Terrible Mother and attained realisation 
He worshipped Krishna, the Lord, as His divine Female Lover and attained 
realisation 
He worshipped Rama, the Lord, as His Father and attained realisation 
He was in a state of deep longing for Jesus, and saw Jesus' Light body enter 
himself 
He was in a state of deep longing for Allah, and attained merger with Allah 
He was in deep meditation and attained the Formless Beatitude, the Supreme 
Brahman 
Swami Vivekananda who preached Vedanta in US, was his prime disciple 
 
Sri Ramakrishna used to say that the key to Self-Realisation is with the 
Terrible Mother, Kali 
She gives realisation to those whom she pleases to give and not to others 
He used to give the simple illustration of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana walking 
one behind the other 
Rama represents God Lakshmana represents Man 
Unless the Divine Mother Sita moves from between them, Man cannot realise 
God 
 
> The Serpent energy taking form as the Divine Beloved/Mother Goddess. 
This is very perfectly stated 
All manifestation is the Form of the Divine Mother Goddess 
For, the ultimate Godhead is beyond all manifestation 
Supreme God Siva does not enter into the spine 
He stays forever above the spinal column 
It is the Goddess who enters the spine and becomes the serpent energy 
She rules the same from within and governs it 
 
You can see these ideas embodied in the Tirumantirams 78 and 79 of Sage 
Tirumular 
The translations in English are below: 
 
(1) I lived(!) adjoining the Light of She, the One having the glory of 
merging into the faulty stick, the limit of Siva, 
(2) She, the One having the Noise of Sound, 
(3) that female One, who ruled having ended my birth, 
(4) She, the One having the Name of unsurpassed Bliss, She, who is(!) a 
woman. 
 
(1) I lived having adjoined Him, the part of Herself, the auspicious woman. 
(2) I lived having adjoined the rise of the faulty stick, the limit of Siva. 
(3) I lived having adjoined the Light of the Gnosis of Siva. 
(4) I lived having adjoined (Siva), just having chanted(!) the Names of 
Siva. 
 
So, you can see the ideas expressed by you 
match the highest mystical ideas of Hindu sages 
 
Thanks and kind regards
