Śrī Rājaśyāmalāṣṭottara Śatanāma Stotram!!!
श्री राजश्यामलाष्टोत्तर शतनाम स्तोत्रम् !!!
Dedication: This post is dedicated to Shri Lorran, whose insight into Śrī Śyāmalā Devi and all other Daśamahāvidyās has been a great inspiration to us all. If not for his diligence, we would not have found this stotram and another variation of it.
Source: Śrī Rājaśyāmalā Tantram.
Prologue: Śrī Rājaśyāmalā is the intelligence, thought, mind and all subtle aspects of the Divine Mother Śrī Lalitā. Likewise, the action and implementation is Śrī Vārāhī. A thought precedes an action. Śrī Rājaśyāmalā is the foremost aspect of Śrī Lalitā and is the most important deity in Śrī Vidyā and in the entire Creation. Everything that exists, seen and unseen, is Her design. She represents the intelligence behind everything that we can perceive and beyond. She is the cause and source of all knowledge.
There are two stotras listing the 108 attributes of the Divine Mother Śrī Rājaśyāmalā. This is the first variation of the Aṣṭottara stotras and we will publish the second variation considered more dearer to Her, very shortly. The attributes mentioned in this stotram are published separately and can be accessed in this link.

Namaste. Other fixes to be made. The correct one is "sarvarājasu śaṅkari" (she who is auspicious for all kings). The correct one is "bimboṣṭhī". The correct one is "raktākṣī ghūrṇamānākṣī smitendumukhi sam̐stute".

Follow as per the dhyāna śloka. The image will change for every deity as the dhyāna ślokas differ. It is extremely important that you get initiated into every single mantra that you wish to recite, especially if it's a tantric mantra.
