Dear Sambya, From the Durga Saptashati(Chandi Path)- She is indeed is a form of Chandi/Mahishasuramardhini/Durga. She is one of the forms the Devi takes to fight the armies of Shumba and Nishumba. When the Devi is asked- why are so many people on your side fighting, She says- these are all my forms and I will withdraw them into me- and so She does. Chandi/Durga/Mahishasuramardhini and Bhadrakali are indeed ugra forms and not soumya forms of the Devi. In spite of all the superstition that is around, an ugra form of the Devi is no more to be feared than you need to fear your mother when she is angry with your enemy( She is your mother- it is indeed to be expected that she will be angry when your enemies attack you). My suggestion is- look for a Devi upasaka- especially a Bhadrakali Upasaka and ask his/her help and guidance. The diety as installed in the new image will be readily awakened when done by such a person. Even a pinda roopa is sometimes good enough for the Devi.
