Have a look at this, it's cool

The Pratyangira aspect of the Divine has been a bit of a secret
for most of these past ages. Many believed that direct experience
with this energy was reserved for Saints and Rishis. Seeing
Pratyangira in any form was considered an enormous blessing,
and an indication that you were in similar company.
Pratyangira comes from a deep, deep place within the Divine
Mother; an area simply known as the Void. In the Void there are
no thoughts of fear, or pain, or loss, or want, or time, or even
space… just the warmth of the Mother’s love.
As Pratyangira energy manifests, it’s often a very swift and
sometimes ferocious current. Many of the Saints who’ve seen
it’s energetic expression have described it as half lion and half
human. The lion head is that of a male and the body is that of
a female, representing the union of Shiva and Shakti. In her
full form, she is humongous, with 1008 heads (symbolically
representing the 1008-petalled Sahasrara Chakra, the universal
chakra of the cosmic energy) and 2016 hands, riding
majestically on a chariot pulled by 4 lions (representing the
4 Vedas), carrying many swords for removing obstacles.
The jaws of so many lions makes it very powerful for destroying
negative karmas, and a great blessing for anyone on a spiritual
path. However, such a current can be understandably rough,
so it’s wise to approach with respect and some consideration
of what our heart is asking for.
Two Rishis in the ancient times, Pratyangira and Angiras, in
their deep meditation, discovered this goddess through her
Moola Mantra in the ethereal waves of the sound current. And
though this Mother is nameless, she honored these Rishis by
giving the blessings to be named after them. She has hence
been known as Sri Maha Pratyangira Devi. The beejaksharam
(seed letter) of her Mantra is ksham (bliss).
