David. I threw in the "scare little children" thing as light relief, however, it is not all that far from reality. Bear in mind that the common people of a society do not have the same understandings that the educated people have, in Balinese terms, this would be Sudra understandings as opposed to the understandings of K'satriya & Brahmin.

In the uneducated mind it seems that Durga & Calon Arang & Rangda all sort of form a commonality.

Rangda eats little children.
