Kurzbeschreibung
Kali Kaula is a practical and experiential journey through the land of living magical art that is Tantra, guided by the incisive, inspired and multi-talented hands of Jan Fries. By stripping away the fantasies and exploring the roots, flowers and fruits of Tantra, the author provides an outstandingly effective and coherent manual of practices. Acknowledging the huge diversity of Tantric material produced over the centuries, Jan Fries draws on several decades of research and experience and focuses on the early traditions of Kula, Kaula and Krama, and the result is this inimitable work which shines with the light of possibility. Unique in style and content, this book is more than a manual of tantric magick, it is a guide to the exploration of the inner soul. It contains the most lucid discussions of how to achieve liberation in the company of numerous Indian goddesses and gods, each of whom brings their own lessons and gifts to the dedicated seeker. It is also an eloquent introduction to the mysteries of the great goddess Kali, providing numerous views of her manifold nature, and showing the immense but hidden role played throughout history by women in the development and dissemination of tantric practices and beliefs. Jan Fries explores the spectrum of techniques from mudra to mantra, pranayama to puja, from kundalini arousal to purification to sexual rites, and makes them both accessible and relevant, translating them out of the Twilight Language of old texts and setting them in the context of both personal transformation and the historical evolution of traditions. The web of connections between Tantra and Chinese Alchemy and Taoism are explored as the author weaves together many of the previously disparate strands of philosophies and practices. This book challenges the reader to dream, delight, and develop, and provides an illustrated guidebook on how to do so. Bliss awaits those who dare.

In Praise of Kali Kaula - A Manual of Tantric Magick
6. März 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
So you think you know about tantra?
Jan Fries has published another of his uncanny books. This time the ancient lore of Tantra is its subject.
The author has turned to the Tantric tradition because the Celtic stuff was going on his nerves "There is far too little practical material in surviving Celtic lore. I'm fed up with the question marks, medieval myths and idle speculations."
And while the author is well aware that "Tantra is huge, vast and overwhelming. You could write a hundred books on the subject." the author has managed to come up with a book that covers certain Tantric traditions. "I decided to focus on the early traditions, basically Kula, Kaula, Krama and a bit of Trika ..." He consciously ignored "the vast majority of Tantric movement that belong to Buddhism or Right-Hand-Path-Stay-in-Line-and-do-as-you-are-told Hindu Tantra."
On 570 pages the reader is taken on a long and fascinating journey, containing a lot of challenging ideas regarding well-known occult phenomena like the chakras and the kundalini. Jan's drawings are another highlight and they tell us about the author's very own experiences in the field. Furthermore, you get information about the Sanskrit language and especially how to pronounce Indian terms. Important information for anyone who wants to practice some of the given mantras taken from the Mantramahodhadhih.
Readers that are familiar with the works of Kenneth Grant will meet many old friends like the Bhairava.
For people interested in genuine Tantra and authentic magical work I would strongly recommend this book. For people who practice Neo-Tantra this book will give interesting insights into the ancient origins of this lore. And despite its serious contents it is fun to read.

Has a strong Pro- Aryan view
1. Mai 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The books makes some interesting points, however the author makes claims that the Pre- Aryan culture in India was non - existant and insignificant. Also, he claims that the Dravidian & Aryan cultures may both have been of European origin, when it has clearly been proven that Dravidians/Pre- Aryan natives of India were the descendants of nomadic African tribes . This is oftentimes typical of the racist, patriarchal view, to study a culture while at the same time disregarding and diminishing the pre- Caucasian/ Aryan people and culture for whoms soil it was birthed. Essentially, the "They had no culture/ were slow-witted savages before we came and showed them how to live, before we came and gave them a "proper" culture". This is particularly unfortunate and ignorant considering that this is a book discussing Ma Kali and Tantra, arguably example of one of the oldest expressions of Spirituality in our existence on Earth.
