In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVedic procedure is known in Sanskrit as vedikavidhi.—In the seventh century, or may be a little earlier, a new genre of sacred literature began to develop that in the following centuries proliferated to an astonishing degree. These scriptures were variously called Tantras, Āgamas, Saṃhitās, Matas and in other less common ways such as Yāmalas, Kalpas or Vidhānas. Whatever they were called, what was important about this class of scriptural literature was the type of practice, pantheon, and implicit world-view it propagated. We may refer to this in the broadest terms, as Sanskrit sources do, as ‘Tantric procedure’ (tāntrikavidhi) which, in the Hindu context, is distinguished from the Vedic (vedikavidhi).
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.
