In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDevīliṅga (देवीलिङ्ग) refers to the “Liṅga representing the Goddess”.—The Liṅga is identified with the core of the Goddess’s maṇḍala, an association which, although quite natural, is entirely absent in the earlier Kubjikā Tantras. [...] Although the central and most important events in the myth narrated in the Kubjikāmatatantra are the goddess's assumption of the form of a Liṅga and her emergence from it, the Kubjikāmatatantra and its most closely related sources hardly refer to this Liṅga again, yet alone discuss its nature—except in the Mālinīstava, the hymn Bhairava intones to the goddess in the Liṅga.
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.
