INO Glossary: Bhairava
Bhairava, a fearsome aspect of Shiva known as the Lord of Magick, serves as a gatekeeper, barring those who cannot or must not enter. Hence, He often displays formidable fangs.
Bhairava accepts nearly any offering, even those deemed impure by other devas. The offering’s success hinges on the devotee’s intention.
