In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKuṭilī (कुटिली) or Kuṭilībhūtā refers to the “crooked (energy)” (which is Kubjikā), according to the commentary on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “Kubjikā is the crooked (energy) (kuṭilī-bhūtā) of those two (the Sun and the Moon). Her form is that of the Mare’s Mouth, that is, the Fire which is above the three energies. The three energies are Nivṛtti, Pratiṣṭhā, and Vidyā. What is above there is the form of the (energy) Śānti as well as that of triple principle, namely, Ātmā, Vidyā, and Śiva, and OṂ (praṇava) or else the syllable AIṂ. (Her body is) at the end of power and is beyond words. (She also consists of) the sixteen energies, that is, the sixteen vowels. [...]”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
