“Modern Occultism in Late Imperial Russia” by Julia Mannherz

Magick Matters

“Tantra without Tears” by Christopher S. Hyatt and S. Jason Black

Magick Matters

"For the Western mind, this is the only Book on Tantra you will ever need. A bold statement? Perhaps. However, the idea behind this book is simple: It is power. It is Kundalini, dressed in Western clothes. It describes experiences and techniques which allow you to glimpse beyond ordinary day-to-day reality, into a world of marvels---and horrors. This new volume of tantric instruction removes much of what is obscure and moralistic in tantra, and reveals it to be an ancient cross-cultural system of self-development. It examines in detail the marriage of magick and yoga, as well as the discipline of focusing all aspects of one's life on the goals of the tantric system. Tantra Without...>>
