In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPeṭikā (पेटिका) or Peṭikāmata refers to one of the eight Mata Tantras or Upamatas (“secondary Matas”), according to the Jayadrathayāmala: one of the earliest and most extensive sources of the emergent Kālīkrama.—The common meaning of the word ‘mata’ is ‘point of view’, ‘doctrine’, ‘teaching’ or by extension ‘school of thought’. In a technical sense, the word conveys a number of other related meanings. A Mata is a type of Tantra. [...] The canon of the Śrīkaṇṭhīyasaṃhitā, accepted as authoritative by Kashmiri Śaivites, like those of several other Bhairava Tantras, including the Jayadrathayāmala, classify the Bhairava Tantras into eight groups of eight Tantras. In this ideal scheme there are said to be eight Mata Tantras [e.g., Peṭikā-mata].
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.
