Shaktism
Step into the lineage of the great Mother (Adya Shakti).
From ancient practices to self realization, discover the divine feminine tradition that honors the whole of life as sacred and Divine.
There are many paths of spiritual practices within the Hindu philosophy - one can choose a path depending on their own tendencies/personality/perspective. Of those many paths, the path of Shakta tantra is one of the major sects, with the core perspective that everything in existence is a manifestation of Shakti (Divine Feminine energy).
How does one choose a path of practice?
You can be a Shaiva (worshippers of Shiva), Vaishnava(worshippers of Vishnu), Shakta (Worshippers of Shakti) etc. But whatever path you choose or whomever you choose to worship, be honest with yourself and your practice.
If you want to surrender yourself to Shiva(the Divine masculine), then be a Shaiva. Read about Shaiva philosophy, Shiva Purana etc.
If you want to surrender yourself to Vishnu, then be a Vaishnava.
If you want to surrender yourself to lotus feet of Shakti, then Shaktism is best for you.
Essentially, whatever path you choose - it must be a decision made in your heart based on your perspective or who you are more attracted to. But please note that no path or sect is superior than the other.
Moreover, when we are talking about the path of Tantra - Shiva and Shakti are not separate, they are essentially two sides of the same coin. Shiva cannot exist without Shakti and vice versa. So, if the path of Tantra is attractive to you, it does not make much of a difference whether you do Shaiva practices or engage in Shakta practices. All paths lead to the same destination.

Adya (आद्या), derived from Sanskrit, means "the first," "primeval," "original," or "beginning". It is a powerful feminine name representing the first power or primordial energy (Adi Shakti) and is commonly associated with Goddess Durga.
Kula (कुल) in Sanskrit primarily means family, clan, race, or community. It denotes a group, tribe, or lineage, often implying a sense of belonging, inclusion, and, in many contexts, a noble or respected clan.
