Last week, Khandro-la was talking about the animal-headed/faced Dakinis that surround the body mandala of Vajrayogini. In the teaching, I brought out the book Vajrayogini: Her Visualizations, Rituals, and Forms by Elizabeth English. On pages 58 and 59, it shows what Khandro-la was teaching about:
The bottom of the second image of page 59 with the numbers 34-41 are the animal-faced Dakinis Khandro-la specifically referred to. I thought of @Betty O'Dell / Lekshe Wangmo when I saw the image because I know you had drawn your own previously, so I hope this lends to deeper research for you, Vajra Sister.
I also found an image of the Owl-faced Dakini [Ugdongma or #35] on a different website that I thought was beautiful and wanted to also share here. This is from a different lineage ( https://aroencyclopaedia.org/index.php ) and so, I'm thinking that "our" Dakini would be holding other tantric implements rather than flowers, but I liked the representation of colors here along with the offering bowls on either side of Her:
TK, thanks for initiating our curiosity. Here is the list of animal-headed Dakinis. Can you put the pictures of all the Dakinis together and create some sort of visual resource related to this topic? It would be beneficial for Dakini practitioners. https://www.pinterest.com/kenmcvicar/animal-headed-dakinis/
Such richness here.
