Not only the primary but Maa Kaali is the most important of the Mahavidyas. Maa Kaali is the epitome of all the Mahavidyas. All the nine Mahavidyas emanate from Kaali and share her virtues and powers in varying shades. Maa Kali is the symbol of dissolution and destruction. She destroys ignorance, maintains the world order, and blesses and frees those who strive for the knowledge of God.
In the Vedas Maa Kaali is associated with Agni, the god of fire. Goddess with seven flickering tongues of flame, out of those seven Kali was the black, horrible tongue; the dark assort of Shiva. Her appearance is frightening: forbidding eyes, red bulging out tongue, and four arms with bloody sword and the severed head of a demon in two. Other two are in mudras (postures) of fearlessness and conferring benefits. Draped around her neck is a chain of human skulls and around her waist is a belt made numerous severe arms.
" Om Jayanti Mangala Kali Bhadrakali Kapalini ,
Durga Kshama Shiva Dhatri Svaha Svadha Namostuthe".
”Salutations to Jayanti (Who is ever-victorious), Mangala (Who is the bestower of auspiciousness), Kali (Who is beyond time), Bhadrakali (Who is the controller of death and life), Kapalini (Who wears a garland of skulls),
Salutations to Durga (Who is The Mother Goddess), Shiva (Who is ever-auspicious), Kshama (Who is an embodiment of forbearance), Dhatri (Who is the supporter of all sentient beings), Swaha (Who is the final receiver of the sacrificial oblations to gods) and Svadha (Who is the final receiver of the sacrificial oblations to Manes); Salutations to You.” 
Jai Maa Kali ~ Jai Maa Shakti !
