Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Sarvasaṃmohinī (सर्वसंमोहिनी) refers to one of the fourteen goddesses/powers (śaktis), according to the Kāmasiddhi-stuti (also Vāmakeśvarī-stuti) and the Vāmakeśvaratantra (also known as Nityāṣoḍaśikārṇava).—[...] The next four verses, 17–20 [of the Kāmasiddhistuti], respectively praise the set of fourteen goddesses/powers (śaktis). We know only the name of the first from this text but the rest can be known from the Vāmakeśvaratantra (1.165–168): [e.g., Sarvasaṃmohinī].
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.
