    Oh! Here's a really cute video about the Russian dark Goddess of Life/Death, Baba Yaga:

    In a way, that's my story, too - I decided never to have children, but have somehow ended up the 'unofficial' grandmother for the neighborhood children...

    This one's a bit - uhm, cartoonish, but it has a nice rockin' beat!

    As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart
    A thousand hands will naturally come to your aid
    As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart
    You will reach out with a thousand hands to help others

    Guan Yin is the bodhisattva of compassion, revered by Buddhists as the Goddess of Mercy.
    Her name is short for Guan Shi Yin. Guan means to observe, watch, or monitor; Shi means the world;
    Yin means sounds, specifically sounds of those who suffer. Thus, Guan Yin is a compassionate being
    who watches for, and responds to, the people in the world who cry out for help.

    Thousand-Hand Guan Yin
