Birth 

From amniotic dream,
by forces unseen,
bathed in blood,
freed by scalpel,
scooped out of her womb,
 I entered here.



4.
Ruthless

 Palden Lhamo
"She is the only female among the traditional 'Eight Guardians of the Law' and is usually depicted as deep blue in color and with red hair to symbolize her wrathful nature, crossing a sea of blood riding side-saddle on a white mule. The mule has an eye on its left rump where her angry husband's arrow hit it after she killed her son (who was destined, and being raised to be the one to finally put an end to Buddhism) and used his skin as a saddle blanket. She has three eyes and is often shown drinking blood from a human skull."
