Mythology Summary

Shakti is the divine feminine as power itself, the energy that animates every god, and in the tantric traditions the coiled force at the base of the spine that rises to meet consciousness. She is not one goddess among others but what makes them gods.

Modern Practice

Shakti is approached through tantra, through the worship of the Devi in her many forms, and through the rising practices. Her practice is disciplined and should not be improvised.
