In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVṛkṣagulma (वृक्षगुल्म) refers to “trees and flowers” [=“trees and shrubs”?], according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.— Accordingly, “[...] According to the Kula teaching (these) are the most excellent Kula trees that give accomplishments and liberation. [...] One should keep the residue of their worship (nirmālya) on one's head and eat (their) fruits. Propitiated, they destroy death and so are said to bestow the accomplishments of the divine Command which gives one the right to have all worldly enjoyments. Indeed, all other trees, flowers [i.e., vṛkṣagulma—vṛkṣagulmāni], creepers, vines, and grasses should not be damaged, cut, broken or disturbed”.
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.
