Can I do Trakze to remove ignorance? Will my intelligence increase if I do this well, because I feel like I am very dumb and need a wrathful deity to bless me to get rid of ignorance, since Trakze is wrathful Manjushri?

Dear Pippa, Trakze is an emanation of Manjushri, so practising Trakze will definitely remove ignorance. But I’d like to suggest a practice that is easy and very effective. You can recite Ganglongma (Praise to Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom) combined with his mantra OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI. Recite Ganglongma and one mala of the mantra daily. Manjushri is the embodiment of the wisdom of all the Buddhas. Worshipping Manjushri will confer mastery of the Dharma, wisdom, intelligence, retentive memory, and eloquence.
Manjushri’s mantra will help you make wise and good decisions. Recite this mantra daily when you are at a crossroad and to exercise good judgement. It is excellent to recite Manjushri’s powerful mantra faithfully to purify ignorance, low mentality, forgetfulness, poor memory and to actualise the seven wisdoms.
