REVIEW: NEW AEON TANTRA
Peters’ Expanded Edition Turns the Dial to Eleven
New Aeon Tantra is a true revelation, offering a compelling, intense, playful journey through interwoven worlds of ancient wisdom and modern insight.
This expanded edition of 388 pages — now with more than 200 pages of new material — provides an immersive exploration of Tantra and Western esotericism in a way that is both grounded and visionary. Readers are guided through a stellar skip through starscapes, microcosms, macrocosms, and invited to discover their own reflections in the mirrored maze of consciousness.
Described as brilliantly bridging Eastern and Western esoteric philosophy and practice, the book supplies detailed historical context, definitions of key concepts, and a wealth of practical methods (including rituals, sadhanas, and puja). At once accessible and profound, the material welcomes beginners yet also offers enough depth and originality to inspire long-time practitioners. There is a clear emphasis on fostering Self-discovery, aligning with one’s True Will, and embracing the unity of all real magickal work.
The author’s clear and reflective writing style makes this vast, multi-layered subject matter inviting. Readers are consistently encouraged to embrace a goddess-centred cosmology, integrating Tantric approaches with the Western traditions of magick in a seamless flow. The exquisite meditations and rituals, such as the Diamond Sapphire Gem of Radiant Light, bring tangible practice into focus, ensuring that theory is continually grounded in direct experience.
This newest edition feels like a veritable talisman of transmission, housing the living current of the Typhonian Gnosis and the vibrant spirit of its Tantric roots. From Mala to Babalon and from Tantras and Typhons, Ages and Æons, Crowleys and Chaoses, the work is praised for opening gateways that can transform one’s perspective on reality. It is rare to find such a versatile, well-organised, but also well-blended book covering such diverse occult and spiritual practices and rites. Those seeking to deepen their knowledge of Tantra, Thelema, or occult spirituality will find that this carefully woven tapestry of instruction and insight unveils the actual meaning of Tantra as well as Thelema.
For anyone on the Tantric-Typhonian path — or looking to embark upon it — this book promises to elevate magical practice to new depths and encourage a deeper appreciation of the Current.
The expanded content, enriched with original illustrations, provides a genuine panoply and a lovely weave of Shakti. Its pages expertly guide readers to experience the full spectrum of practical and mystical teachings that unify East and West.
In short, Gregory Peter’s book is one of the best resources available on these topics, and it will undoubtedly become an indispensable resource for those ready to embrace the mysteries it reveals.
