If Kali is also Mother Durga, then why is she standing on her divine husband's(Lord Shiva) Chest with her tounge out?

 

Maybe to indicate Shiva is the support of Kali, or that she comes from Shiva?

"The image of a recumbent Shiva lying under the feet of Kali represents Shiva as the passive potential of creation and Kali as his Shakti. "

 

There are alot of different stories about why mother kali is standing on lord shiva her consort...but the one I know is that when mother durga became very angry she turned into mother kali to kill 2 demons. After killing them and drinking their blood she began to act out in anger. After hearing from the rest of the demi gods that no one can calm her and controll her lord shiva came. He laid down on the ground and when she saw that she was stepping on her husband she took out her tongue. That image of her is widely known .

Prabhu, In the Shiv-Puran Mother Durga in the form of Sati and Parvati prayed to Lord Shiva. What happened after she realized that she was stepping on the chest of her Lord Shiva?

To stop the world from being destroyed Lord Shiva brought himself to the feet of Kali. On sensing her husband beneath her feet she stopped and thus the world was saved.
