Yoni worship has been a part of the spiritual heritage in every part of the globe and may in fact be the most ancient religion of humanity. This book traces this primal motif from its first surviving occurrence almost 30,000 years ago in Europe to its remnants and budding renaissance in contemporary language, art and literature. From the naturally occurring Yoni rock formations used as sacred places by indigenious Americans to the Indian temple of the menstruating Goddess from the exhibitionist sheela-na-gig carvings of early Celtic churches to the ritual striptease found in Japan, The Yoni reveals Yoni imagery and veneration that spans many cultures and times. The author also discusses Tantric practices, Near Eastern myths, and Tibetan visualization techniques linked to Yoni reverence.
SEXUALITY/COMPARATIVE RELIGION – ISBN 0-89281-562-0
Miranda Shaw
Tantric Buddhism is known in the West primarily for the sexual practices of its adherents, who strive to transform erotic passion into spiritual ecstasy. Historians of religion have long held that the enlightment thus attempted was for men only, and that women in the movement were at best marginal and subordinated and at worst degraded and exploited. Miranda Shaw argues to the contrary, presenting extensive new evidence of the outspoken and independent female founders of the Tantric movement and their creative role in shaping its distinctive version of gender relations and sacred sexuality.

Generations of Celtic Druids have harnessed their sexual energy to maximise the potency of their magic. Working alone, in pairs, or as a group, practitioners engage in the ritualized preparation, focus, and release of the immense natural energy produced by orgasm in order to liberate their consciousness from everyday reality and potentize their spells.
Described here are the nine stages of the sex magic ritual – Awakening, Augmentation, Intensification, Quickening, Orgasm and Projection, Continuance, Relaxation, Scattering and Gift.

Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet and Jesus, the Son of Main, to May Ziadah, one of the foremost women writers in Arabic literature this century. The bond that bound them together was of the very rarest kind. Gibran, living in New York, and Ziadah, whose home was in Cairo, never met, but a correspondence begun in mutual admiration as writers soon developed into deep friendship, culminating in the final admission of love, and continued until Gibran’s death in 1931.

Osho
Through his characteristically penetrating insights into previously insoluble paradoxes of life, Osho reveals how the Tantra experience will free us from the destructive Hebraic-Christian dualism that has crippled our bodies, minds and hearts, and
condemned as evil almost everything we do. He offers crystal clear answers to questions, and to dilemmas we could never understand, even if we had dared ask
about them.

David Kinsley
Divine Feminine deals with a group of ten Hindu Tantric goddesses, the Mahavidyas, who embody habits, attributes, or identities usually considered repulsive or socially subversive. Kinsley not only describes the eccentric qualities of these goddesses, but seeks to interpret the Mahavidyas as a group and to explain their importance for understating Tantra and the Hindu tradition.
