I enjoyed reading this book, as it is a very informative and easy book to read. There is a lot to learn when it comes to Egyptian Deities and this book gives some nice insights. A very good breakdown when it comes to Nut, Geb and Shu and their function in creation. Dr. Muata Ashby also gives a very good explanation of the Obelisk and Ankh and their esoteric sexual meanings. I was glad to see that this book included some sexual sublimation exercises although brief and simplistic. Still, this may be a good thing. What I also found most beautiful were the insights and connections to Christian esotericism.

This book is by no means exhaustive when it comes to information on Tantra. It does however have many beautiful insights into the Egyptian Tantra mysteries, while holding that one abstains from losing ones sexual energy. My one big problem that I have with this book is Dr Muata Ashby's view that Tantra can be performed just as effectively through celibacy. Still, he mentions that if you are married to not think that you are worse off than a celibate person and to remain married. I hold that Tantra performed by a couple can produce greater energies and potentials than of a single person. This is of course for couples who both have the goal of spiritual advancement at heart. I am of course talking about White Tantra as opposed to grey or Black (even exluding morality, the latter are a waste of time ultimately). I am however glad to see that Dr Muata Ashby does say that marriage provides a great environment for people to work on themselves. I have ordered five more of Dr Muata Ashby's other books and am especially eager to read on the laws of Maat. On the whole a very worth while book to read for those interested in Tantra and liberation.

Great book. Somethings are repitious, but repetention is to key to making sure the info is embedded.
