Dakini

She is the sky-dancer who moves through the liminal spaces of the cemetery and the deep mind, a fierce female energy that destroys the ego to reveal the naked truth. With a skull-cup in her hand and a gaze that pierces through the pretenses of the world, she represents the terrifying wisdom that comes only through the dissolution of the self. Do we fear the dancer of the void because she is dangerous, or because she holds the mirror that shows us our own impermanence? She is the muse of the tantrics, the lightning-bolt of realization that strikes when the intellect finally gives up its struggle.
