19) The 64 Dakinis or Yoginis are 8 Mother goddesses each with 8 attendants in India religious traditions. Each of the 64 can be further correlated to the currents or winds of the human "etheric" body. From the 9th through the 13th centuries, there was an active cult of dakinis (usually called yoginis in today's India.) At least nine yogini temples have been discovered so far. A yogini is a female yogi who practices tantric yoga. Some are able to transform people into animals or birds through siddhis or magical powers. Dakini retains the connotation of a frightening being. In some Indian texts the word is used as a synonym for sorceress, witch or even ghoul. One of her essential qualities is the ability to fly; perhaps that is one of the reasons why temples dedicated to dakinis are open to the sky. In the Buddhist, Kalachakra tantric system, there is described at the navel chakra called the Wheel of Emanation, 64 channels which are the 64 goddesses of the Speech Mandala.
