Vagina dentata
Vagina dentata (Latin for toothed vagina) describes a folk tale in which a woman's vagina is said to contain teeth, with the associated implication that sexual intercourse might result in injury, emasculation, or castration for the man involved.
In folklore
Such folk stories are frequently told as cautionary tales warning of the dangers of unknown women and to discourage rape.
Erich Neumann relays one such myth in which "a fish inhabits the vagina of the Terrible Mother; the hero is the man who overcomes the Terrible Mother, breaks the teeth out of her vagina, and so makes her into a woman".
The legend also appears in the mythology of the Chaco and Guiana tribes of South America. In some versions, the hero leaves one tooth.
Hinduism
In Hinduism, the asura Andhaka, son of Shiva and Parvati (but not aware of it), is killed by Shiva when he tries to force the disguised Shiva into surrendering Parvati. Andhaka's son Adi, also an asura, takes the form of Parvati to seduce and kill Shiva with a toothed vagina in order to avenge Andhaka, but is also slain.

Vagina Dentata
by: DiemonsterdieThe silent sun shines within
Listen to yourself and deception floats away...
I turn my back now to the world
And crawl into the dirt and stone
Eyes shut I can see
Now it's time to breathe the flame...
Vestal virgin image will distract another victim
For the salamanders in the sun
Carnival of bloodshed lies through bloodshot eyes
I'm waiting for another revival
Squishing underneath the sandal sidewalk
Walk across the burning coals
Chanting, raise your hands to him
Lay your hands across the fire...
Vestal virgin image will distract another victim
For the salamanders in the sun
Carnival of bloodshed lies through bloodshot eyes
I'm waiting for another revival
Crawl into the fountain, drink the waters of salvation
From your fallen idol
I won't tell, yeah you won't ask me
You should find it for yourself
Let's just say you're only sleeping now inside a
shell...
Lose your ingrained old reactions,
All obsessions of things unreal
Now your true self is dissolving into streams of
fields...
