Vajrayogini is Tantric Buddhist deity who represents the path leading to female buddhahood. She is also a dakini (sky dancer), a term that describes a female supernatural being or an accomplished yogini, and is considered the queen of the dakinis. She is called Vajravarahi in Tantric Buddhism, or Vajrayana, a tradition in which she is considered the supreme deity more revered than any male buddha. Her name is derived from the Sanskrit, vajra, typically translated as “diamond” or “thunderbolt” and yogini, which is a female yogi, or yoga practitioner.
