In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCandrāgni (चन्द्राग्नि) refers to the “moon and fire”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] The three, Ātmā, Vidyā, and Śiva, symbolized by the three luminaries Moon, Fire, and Sun [i.e., candrāgni-ravi-bhedena] encompass the entire range of the experience of reality. By projecting these three principles into the body, the energy of consciousness that penetrates the adept assumes these three forms and so, empowered by them, he ascends through the three spheres to liberation.
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.
