varieties of shaktism

[Guest guest]

Hello again. First, please let me apologize for my part in the Hitler

argument. I was just trying to defend my aunt, that is all. I love

her very much. Sorry if I got too worked up about that.

Second, I wand to ask another question. I understand that

Hinduism is not a single unified system of worship but rather a

complex mix of different faiths. Worship in one part of India is very

different from in another part, and even within a single city there

are differences between social strata. I get all of this.

When I first signed up for this list, I figured that this

Shaktism was one variety of Hinduism. I assumed that within this one

group I would find fairly uniform beliefs and practices. The answers

to a few of my previous questions made me doubt that, that Shaktism

too comes in different varieties. Is this correct? What sorts of

variations are there? I would like to learn whatever I can about each

variety.

Namaste and Jai Ma!

I think the two great divisions of Shaktism are the school of Lalita Tripura

worship and

the school of Kali worship.

It is also a difference if one follows the Samayachara which is vedic or the

Kulachara which uses the five m's.

Kali I have learned about from my Auntie Usha, who has been

worshipping Kali all her life. Lalita Tripura I'm not familiar with.

Any suggestions where I can look up more info on this?
