| Dakini |
(Tibetan kandroma) A race of awakened female entities who are renowned for their great wisdom and power. Males are called Dakas (Tibetan dapo). "Tibetan texts dedicate a considerable amount of space in order to praise and to disclose the beauty and grace of the Dakinis’ form. They are represented with a beautiful contexture, ruby red skin, gentle and pensive faces, red eyes and red nails, and it is said that they exude the tenuous fragrance of a lotus bud." - from Occult Medicine and Practical Magic |
