I'm interested in Vajrayogini Tantra but all the literature on its practice contains warnings about how i need stuff I don't have before reading, presumably with awful karmic consequences. Particularly emphasized is the yogic lineages from her, I just want to explore this tantra and I have no idea how to find a qualified lama to initiate me anyway, nor do I have transportation to get there. Is it possible to self initiate? I've read about the historic evolution of the tantra and it has shaky syncretic origins and somewhat disturbing roots in defilement/sex cults and she's not even a historical figure so I don't know how anyone could trace a lineage to her. Is it a perversion of Buddhism I'd be better off ignoring?

You should look for some other lineage or religion that suits more what you are inclined to.
Repeating, self-initiation is not into an already stabelished lineage. It is a lonely spiritual path.
