The Yoga of Power: Tantra, Shakti, And The Secret Way by Julius Evola.

I'm certainly enjoying it. I especially liked reading about the 36 Tattvas (states of being/becoming) as well as the nature of and meaning behind initiatic sex rites and the "awakening" of mantras (words of power)

One thing I did find quiet disheartening was, much like in Vedic works, the importance of a guru and initiation is stressed as necessary for any form of awakening. I highly doubt I will find anyone who could serve as a true spiritual teacher that I can be personally involved with, but I will still enjoy reading about Tantric metaphysics and experimenting with meditation methods.

I am currently reading about "Bardo", which is about what one must do after death to attain enlightenment, based off the Tibetan Book of The Dead.

Read pic related and wanna go deeper into Tantra to complement my Yoga. Who are the best authors on the subject? Buddhist or Hindu is fine. No new age.
