Durga is a very special goddess. When I first encountered her, I was a little hesitant, but I knew deep down I needed to work with her. From 2014-2015, she has guided me. Ever so often, I am guided to work with one specific deity for a prolong period of time. It was Durga's turn then. She is by far one of the most beloved of the Hindu Goddess. She is fiercely loyal and will pull out all the stops when she is protecting her own. She is, in many ways, a gentler version of Kali, but not quite as gentle as Parvati or Lakshmi. Durga's name means "Impassable and invincible". The name is derived from the Sanskrit word for fortress, Durg. She has several forms. In this book , we will deal with her nine forms, also known as Navadurga or literally 'Nine Forms of Goddess Durga" Each one has a purpose and we will perform nine rituals, one for each form. Her essence is very much immanent in the world. She has a transcendent and limitless quality, yet she is very present and accessible. Although "milder" than Kali, Durga will still challenge you in ways that are just right for you to get the lesson and learn. When I worked with her, there were time when I was stubborn, she was able to push me to get me back on track. Seldom will she push you too hard, but it can be uncomfortable. Kali on the other hand will shove you right into the fire. Her mantras are often recited when people need protection and security. In this book we will tap into her nine names for the following purposes:Durga Form 1 - In this form, she is associated with the Root Chakra and therefore, we will use her to attain more grounding in this world. This will impact you finances and other related issue. Durga Form 2 - In this form, we will use her to attain occult and spiritual knowledge. Durga form 3 - Devi Chandraghanta - In this form, we will call upon her for protection. Durga form 4 - In this form we will call upon her to bestow upon us supernatural and occult powers. Durga Form 5 - In this form, we will use her to conquer our enemies. Durga Form 6 - In this form, we will use her to get rid of negative spiritual entities that may be haunting you. Durga Form 7 - This is similar to Katyayani, but much more fierce in her energy. We will use her to eradicate demonic energies in your abode. Durga Form 8 - We will use her to attain good health and renewed vigor. You can also use her for love as well. The ritual for her can be used for either of those. I will get into that when we discuss her more in-depth. Durga Form 9 - We will use her to enhance our magickal practice, no matter what tradition. Reciting her mantra in this form, is of immense value to your entire magickal practice. Each of these rituals will have special mantras associated with them. I will transliterate them as we go. We have a lot to cover, now let us proceed.

Shiva, is one of the most mysterious Gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil, yet fierce energy can seem out of reach for some. His images often depict him in a meditative state or in his most common form, the Nataraja or the one who dances within the circular fires that represent creation and dissolution. He is by far one of the most ancient of the Hindu Gods, there are hints of him in the Vedas, and this form is often called "proto-Shiva." In his current incarnation he is part of the Hindu Trinity that is comprised of the Gods Brahma and Vishnu. Shiva's name means "the auspicious one". Shiva is the God of creation, destruction and regeneration. It is for this reason his mantras are so powerful, they are multipurpose and can serve the magician in any way he or she sees fit.Although most deities that I work with are female, Shiva is the only exception. He has been my patron for decades, I even have a tattoo of his image on my back. He is very close to me. Often Shiva is associated with unbridled sexuality, eccentricity and nirvanic states. He has all these within himself. He is no doubt a figure that would be interpreted in the west as the embodiment of all that is evil, sinful and dark. This reputation is not helped by the fact many of his followers are known to perform actions that are often shocking and even downright lewd. They do this not because they are degenerates, but because they are trying to prove a point. In many ways, Shiva is the God of the outcasts. Shiva will challenge you in ways other Gods will not. He will force you to go deep into your nature. If you are not introspective, Shiva will and can be a nightmare for you. He will force you to break open. His mantras are often recited when people need help. All problems you may have, be they physical, mental or spiritual he can help you.

The mythology, rituals, meditations, and practices used in Tantric worship of the goddess Kali in the tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism • Reveals the practices of Vamachara, known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti • Includes a Kali ritual from the Nirrutara Tantra, translated here for the first time • Presents devotional chants, meditations, and mudras specific to Tantric worship of Kali According to traditions going back to pre-Vedic times, Kali sprang from the third eye of the Goddess Durga as a destructive and terrifying manifestation of feminine power sent to lay waste to the forces of evil. Throughout India to this day, Kali is worshipped as the destroyer of bondage, capable of liberating her devotee from all rules and subjugation. In Tantric Kali, Daniel Odier presents the mythology, practices, and rituals of Kali worship in the Tantric Kaula tradition within Kashmiri Shaivism. He reveals the practices of Vamachara, commonly known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti. In this tradition the body itself is Kali’s temple, and it is therefore unnecessary to reject or deny the body to know union with the divine. Instead, nothing is regarded as pure or impure and there is complete freedom from rules. Focused on working directly with forbidden emotions and behaviors, this path allows the seeker to transcend obstacles to liberation through sexual union. According to the Kaula Upanishad, “In your behavior do the opposite to what the norms dictate but remain in consciousness.” This is the essence of Tantra. Kali is absolute reality: manifested as woman intoxicated by desire, she frees the tantric practitioner from all desire except union with the divine. The author includes an evocative ritual from the Nirrutara Tantra--never before translated into any Western language--containing devotions to the 64 yoginis according to Matsyendranath, founder of the Kaula path. Offering devotional chants, meditations, and mudras specific to Tantric worship of Kali, this empowering book provides practices and teachings for those on the Tantric path to liberation.

For most, the goddess Tara the Goddess of compassion and protection. Few people know that she has several other natures as well; 21 in all. She, like most deities in the eastern religions, whether it be Hinduism or certain forms of Buddhism, have several different natures. As I stated in the book on Kali in this series, I mentioned that many deities have qualities that we, in the west, may consider to be "evil" but in the east, they are considered "wrathful." Tara and her energies are very well suited for use in Magick. More often than not, her energy is loving and embracing. But as I said, she has a wrathful nature that can very much be equated to the Hindu Goddess Durga and perhaps even Kali of the Hindu traditions. This wrathful nature can be harnessed. With that said, let's take a journey through the energies of Tara.

One of the most unconventional yet immensely popular deities in the Hindu pantheon, goddess Kali essentially represents the dark and contrary aspects of the cosmos. Her naked form and association with violence, blood and gore challenge the very concept of divinity. Yet, over the centuries, she has come to represent a whole gamut of conflicting images-from bloodthirsty ogress to benign goddess. So today while she is venerated as Chamunda, a deity who verges on the macabre and grotesque, she is also adored in household shrines in one of her milder forms, Dakshina-Kali. It is this evolution of Kali-from her origin as a tantric goddess to her metamorphosis into a divinity in mainstream religion-that Seema Mohanty captures brilliantly in this book. Drawing upon a variety of sources-rituals associated with the worship of Kali, tales from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Puranas, the Tantras and Agamas, folklore and films-she has succeeded in portraying in engrossing detail the myriad manifestations of the enigmatic deity that is Kali.

If you have read my other books you know that I recommend the use of mantras as a vehicle for magick. They are very powerful and often times easy to recite. In my other books that deal with mantras I provide a bonus chapter on something called "Siddhi." I have been asked several times to go into greater depth about this and so I have decided to write this text. By attaining Siddhi, while using a mantra, you are literally embodying the power of that mantra. You will have the mantras power. For example, if you are looking to attract material abundance, the seed mantra for that is SHREEM. If you recite SHREEM 10,000 times, you will attain the essence of that Supernatural power. You will be able to recite SHREEM and attain your material goals easily. You will be a magnet as it were. You will attain supernatural powers. In this book, we will discuss, in greater depth, what Siddhi is. After that, I will present a few powerful mantras and provide you the exact number of recitations you will need to attain Siddhi. Not all mantras have the same recitation count. I will also provide helpful tips on how to keep track of your recitations and most importantly, we will discuss the immense responsibility given you once you achieve Siddhi. Do Not take this lightly, once you achieve Siddhi for any given mantra, you will possess that power. USE IT WISELY.

What you are about to learn right now is rather obscure. In fact, there is only one other book written on this particular topic. It's a hidden side of an otherwise popular spiritual practice. What you will learn is the Dark Mantras of Subjugation called Vashikaran. I call them dark because they are meant to "subjugate" or "command" people and events to your will. Often mantras are associated with pure and spiritual practices. We use mantras to achieve altered states of consciousness, We use them to attract divine blessings. Seldom do we hear about people using mantras to control another person or persons. That kind of thing was relegated to black magick and witchcraft here in the west. But is it truly black magic? Is there actually such a thing as white and black magick in the eastern traditions? Or perhaps we , in the west interpret these things in stark black and white terms?In this book, we will discuss the Vashikaran Mantras and their dark powers
