Greetings from New York,
On tonight’s program, I continue the Book of Blue series of presentations with a discussion of the principles of tantra and how I have applied them to what I call Blue Tantra.
Here is last week’s program — Individual Awakening and Collective Shadow. The previous audio was called Not For Everyone.
My original article, Book of Blue | Bare Essence has been revised several times.
I am planning an unillustrated text version for easy printing. I make reference to a book by Philip Rawson; here is a link. Last week I referred to a book by Wayland Young; here is a link.
For those who sign on for a one-year subscription from tonight’s program, I will send a signed 8 x 10 print of a Book of Blue image — your choice from among those you’ve seen, you may describe something you like, or you can leave it to me. Enhanced members (a Substack option) receive many other benefits plus a 13 x 19 print.
Get my attention by writing to efc@bookofblue.com.
Thanks for tuning in.
With love,
Your faithful astrologer,
These are different images of the Shri Yantra, also seen above tattooed onto Vera.
