Hinduism's divine feminine empowerment

Usage examples of shakti.

There were many ways to accomplish this, and Shakti planned to explore them all.

Briefly, Shakti thought of the last image she had received from the scrying bowl through the eyes of the dying wizard Nisstyre: the beautiful face and taunting words of Liriel Baenre.

With newfound discipline, Shakti thrust aside the familiar hatred and envy that thoughts of Liriel always evoked in her, and she focused her mind on the steps that must be taken before vengeance could be hers.

Her ally Nisstyre had come close, but the curse of the drow-a quick rage and a burning desire for revenge-had overcome Shakti and had resulted in the loss of both ally and amulet.

Though their leader had been slain, Shakti planned to reestablish ties with the band, for they were valuable in bringing both information and merchandise from the surface lands.

But to find her slippery rival, Shakti sought a more direct route and a more powerful ally than drow merchants.

Cupping the scrying bowl with her hands, Shakti began to chant a spell that would open a window to another plane.

No, Shakti sought another, lesser-known place: the elemental plane of water.

Yet, Shakti reasoned, if Liriel sought the vast waters of the surface world, what better place could Shakti look for an ally?

For the first time, Shakti thought she understood why Liriel Baenre might have desired to explore the surface worlds.

It was a being of some sort, though unlike anything Shakti had ever seen or imagined.

As traitor-priestess, Shakti would help ensure that this dangerous seed never bore fruit.

Perhaps a bit too much zeal, for unlike most priestesses Shakti held literal belief in the Directives of Lloth.

The interview with Matron Triel had gone well, but Shakti did not feel at all complacent.

It grew rapidly until it was identical in every respect to the scrying bowl given to Shakti by the drow god Vhaeraun.
