    What It Is

    The twenty-fifth day belongs to the dakinis — khandroma, 'sky-goers' — the swift feminine wisdom energy of the tantras, embodied in Vajrayogini and in Yeshe Tsogyal, the Tibetan consort and disciple of Padmasambhava who concealed the terma treasures for later ages. The dakini is not gentle by disposition; she is the intelligence that cuts, that takes away the thing you were leaning on so that you can stand.

    How to Observe It

    Make an offering of something red or sweet on your shrine or table. Recite OM VAJRA YOGINI HUM PHAT, or simply sit and let a fixed idea about yourself dissolve without arguing with it. Honour a woman who taught you something — say so to her today if you can.
