In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramBhagākṛti (भगाकृति) refers to “one whose form is the Yoni”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] Thus the Command [i.e., ājñā] spreads out by means of the sacred seats from where the Siddhas who founded the lineages reside. This Command is the Liṅga that arises in the centre from the Yoni. So the goddess is both the Divine Liṅga and the Yoni which is the ‘inner sanctum’. She is both the Liṅga and within the Liṅga. So, the Liṅga is a Yoni in the Yoni. Thus it is a ‘crooked’—vakra—Liṅga as the triangle which is the goddess herself who is Vakrā ‘the Crooked One’ whose form is the Yoni (bhagākṛti) as well as the 'Circle of the Point'.
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.
