Actually, Kali isn't the Goddess of Blood. She is sometimes portrayed
as a very ferocious Goddess who slays demons and is sometimes
portayed as a very beautiful, yet powerful goddess.
And I doubt whether Parvati is a Shaivite although she has a shaivite
name, as her sister Padma has a Vaishnavite name.
Although in my Vaishnavite family, my brother's middle name is a
Shaivite one...
I guess it all depends on how strictly you adhere to the Hindu
cultural codes.
