In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKalākalita (कलाकलित) refers to that which is “fashioned by the energies (of the moon)”, according to the Kularatnoddyota (chapter 9).—Accordingly: “O Supreme Goddess, in the nineteenth (aeon you will be born) as Dakṣa’s daughter with the name Bhadrakālī, O beloved, accompanied by Bhava. Due to Dakṣa’s insult, (you) gave up the body generated at that time and having done so (became) the energy (kalā) called the New Moon (amā) present in the midst of the Moon, Sun, and Fire. O goddess, (in this state) you will be the one who nourishes in the three worlds. O goddess, conjoined with Amṛteśvara, (your) form fashioned by the energies (of the Moon) (kalākalita-vigrahā), bestows supreme bliss, nectar and lordship. O fair lady, on the Island of Jambu (i.e. South Asia) there is a mountain called Himavat. O beloved, (Himavat) having become supremely content, you will become his daughter”.
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.
