In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSiṃhagṛha (सिंहगृह) refers to the “(western) teaching of the lion”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Bhairava assumed the form of a lion and so the convention is that of the lion. This is the Tradition of the Lion, the Transmission of the Lion Kula, and the Western Teaching of the Lion (paścima-siṃhagṛha) because the empowered goddess and the god possess the Lion's Gaze. It is the Lion Knowledge that bestows both enjoyment and liberation. The goddess herself is generated by the Lion's Gaze and becomes a lion who possesses the power to empower others by her Lion's Gaze.
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.
