11 Nairatmya : Pukkasi (SE) Inspires and configures visual perception of the animated-animating vista of the open sky; expands consciousness and dissolves obtusity by drawing attention to the atmosphere 12 Vajravarahi : Ghasmari (SW) Working through the sense of smell, induces transductive hormones and excites desire for immersion in the currents of divine vitality, Gaias nadis. 13 Kurukulla : Pramoha (W) Enchantress, works through the compulsion of emotions and emotive tones (nyon-yid), enhances the sense of touch, heigtens sensuality, outwitting the separatistic ego 14 Parnashavari : Candali (NW) Transmutes the alimentary functions into sacramental actions, guards and introduces the sacred plant-teachers 15 Vishvamata : Gauri (E) Richly colored or variegated matrix, holding the centerpoint of the Shakti turbulence; consort of Kalachakra in the Wheel of Time. Balance of the mundane and spiritual. 16 Prajnaparamita : Smashana (NE) Induces auditory perception in a heightened state, leading humanity back to direct revelation by sruti, inner instruction. Auditory reflex of Sophia, voice of the planetary intelligence. 17 Durtro Lhamo : Cauri (S) Instigates specific programs of rectification by restoring lost knowlege; supports and protects treasure-finders (tertons) and affords a variety of novel, inspired solutions to human ignorance and social confusion. 18 Unnamed Dakini : Vetali (N) Concentrates the entire power of the Cluster in the individual body, building the eighteen-petalled lotus; sustains the health of the body-mind and turbo-charges the inspiration of the senses as a continuously ongoing act which provides the possibility for being in contact with an environment, but this being in contact may well have a devastating effect on whatever opposes its presence. These eight are the Diamond Sky Dakinis of the Cluster, distinguished from the ten Mahavidyas who encircle them in the grand mandala I am developing. Note how these celestial witches correlate to the senses: 11 vision, 12 smell, 13 touch, 14 taste, 15 the color sense, and 16 hearing. Such correlations are not merely the result of a mix-and-match game for the clever, ever-scheming mind. They arise from direct encounters with the Adamantine Dakinis and reflect an acquired conviction about their impact and influence. The Kalika who experiences this impact might respond with an elated exclamation, MAMO MIA! JLL
