Kali
Kali is a Hindu goddess associated with time, power, creation, and destruction, especially that of evil forces.[1]
Influence[edit | edit source]
After her move to India, the British Assassin Assassins Evie Frye developed an interest in the goddess.[2] Around 1873, Evie's brother Jacob came to visit her and their Indian brethren with some apprentices. Jacob, Evie, Henry Green, and Jacob's initiate 'Jack the Lad' visited a temple of Kali and had their picture taken.[3]
As a souvenir, Evie gave Jacob a statue of Kali.[2] When Evie returned to London in 1888, she found a note Jacob had left for her inside the statue, helping her with her investigation into the Whitechapel murders.[3] Evie also discovered a set of brass knuckles named for Kali which the Indian Assassins had made, but by 1888, were held in a chest in the Owers Manor.[4]
