Dr Raven Stronghold’s The Divine Goddess and Tantra explores the divine aspect of Hindu goddess Kali and its many masks.

The feminine divine is found in all its splendor through the different magickal currents from elder times, and nowadays we can see a high interest in diverse manifestations of the same Feminine current reflected in several practices around the world. In the first part of this book, I reveal aspects focused within the Hindu goddess Kali.

The Divine Goddess and Tantra also reveals part of the tantric aspects of the black goddess as well as devotional methods of worship. On the second part of the book, I explore the diverse tantric elements found through diverse currents as the one of Nepal and India, focused to give the reader a guide to the mysterious world of Tantra in all its core, and how this is handled through different deities in each pantheon. Several feminine deities and maternal symbols of creativity, birth, fertility, sexual union, nurturing, and the cycle of growth, protection, destruction are revealed through this book.
