Om jaya jaya Kali
Jaya Kali
Om jaya jaya jaya Kali
Jaya Kali
Maha mata Kali
Sri sri Maha Devi
The best mantra to Her is: Om krim Kali kagei namaha.
Krim (kreem) is Her sound/syllable.
Lord Shiva's main one that I know is: Om nemah Shivaihah.
Okay, I used to know a few more. My buddy Wes is Hindu and can sing major mantras all over the place. He can sing the long ones, not just the single line prayers for mala beads.
So, my thoughts are to write prayers and mantras to The Morrighan in Irish so that I can incorporate them into my spiritual practices as well as into Witchcraft. (Spiritual practices being fundamentally more important).

That one for Ma Kali is actually a song. A mantra goes somewhat differently. I ll send you a PM regarding Ma Kali's mantras.
"Krim" & "Klim" both are actually monosyllabic incantations usually to invoke the goddess. The mantras for the Mother Goddess (the Supreme Power) are unusually long and involve complicated pronounciations.
The Gayatri Mantra (regarded by the Hindus as the most powerful mantra) is usually recited or repeated
in the mind and NOT loudly. Please remember it as you read the following :- (read in mind, not aloud)
"Om bhur bhuwaswaha, tratsavitur vareniyam,
Bhargo devasya dhi mahi, dhiyo yonah prachodayat."
I have spaced it out, so that you ll find it easier to pronounce. However, once you get the hang of it, you have to recite the entire mantra in a single breath, without break. Thats the best way of effective mantras.
The Gayatri mantra is supposed to be recited 108 times, usually in the morning just after taking a bath, facing the morning sun, empty stomach. It brings peace and tranquility in life, and also wards away any evils throughout the day. Indian sages have regarded it very highly, and its the pioneer of all mantras in the Rig Veda.
