3.0 out of 5 stars Neo Tantra, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tantric Yoga: The Royal Path to Raising Kundalini Power (Paperback)

Tantra is a specific system of Yoga which teaches the raising of the kundalini-s'akti through ecstatic experience, self-deification, ritual, and sexual union.

Gavin and Yvonne Frost, Elder Initiates in a Welsh Tradition of Witchcraft, and founders of the Church and School of Wica, show information on their own adapted form of Tantric ritual, and make it available to the West.

It also contains a section by Gay Astrologer and Witch, Glenn Malec, about adapting the Tantric rituals for same sex partners.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not Tantra, December 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tantric Yoga: The Royal Path to Raising Kundalini Power (Paperback)

A pretty disgusting reading, unlike any other book on Tantra I've seen. This is far from sacred sexuality. The book contains some valuable information but already known from other texts. The authors are very arrogant, attacking almost every other belief system known today -- not the kind of attitude you'd expect from enlightened writers. On top of all, the system they put together is a highly complicated one.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good text and an important work, but not for everyone, January 19, 2004

This review is from: Tantric Yoga: The Royal Path to Raising Kundalini Power (Paperback)

As the words "Royal Path" in the title suggest, this book and the system presented in it are not for everyone. It is not the place to look for information on (Neo-)Tantra. The system presented is neither entirely original to the authors nor entirely original Tantric practice and belief.

Certainly, much of this information can be found elsewhere. It recieves 3 stars, however, as it is a good collection of information and techniques, and I found their discussion of various beliefs both refreshing and thought-provoking.
