Am I wrong or is it kali? If yes I would like to ask you a question. I'm trying to learn something about Hinduism, but I'm struggling to find something I like or that I'm really interested in. This is the first interesting thing I've seen and explicitly anti-civ, can you recommend something to deepen?

Wow deep question.

I know very superficially Hinduism and Dharmic religions, usually via yoga (raja yoga not stretching and Asana posing).

Well, Hinduism as far as I know is an artificial category to unite all the religious practices of the Indian subcontinent based on the Vedas. There are some shared concepts and continuity on the practices to be considered belonging to the same "school".

I am closer to Shiva, so I usually focus on the rites of Shiva and Kali (Shiva's consort in some accounts). Some stuff that I find interesting: Kashmir Shaivism, classic Yoga (Patanjali), Advaita Vedanta, Vivekananda's books.

The Anticiv angle is a stretch. There's nothing that justify Kali as Anticiv besides being a goddess of Death.

I'll take the opportunity to ask you one more thing!
What else can you recommend more in general about spirituality?
Preferably anticiv but not necessarily

Well, depends what your inclinations and desires. If you like nature probably check the historical practices of your people (or the land you live), much of the mythology and native lore give you much Insights of the way of living and thinking. Meditation (big word here lately) is another thing that is a fundamental practice for nowadays, nothing fancy just watching your breath while resting your body. For me the spirituality come in poetry & art, a feeling, a need to create.

The intersection of spirituality and Anticiv is not a closed space. There's no clear boundaries here, depends more of you. Sure some stuff is not compatible, like Catholics need huge Cathedrals to be Catholics.

Even the connection of Spirituality & Anarchy is something that I found artificial, i.e. people forcing interpretations of one into another.

May the Kaos speed you!
