Second edition of "Kali breathes this fire"

I have today released a second edition of Kali breathes this fire. Because I constantly write about the Mahavidyas & other forms of Dark Mother I have needed to add a little to the introduction. I do not deny that I caught a couple of typos too. I shall certainly produce further revisions, but this is the current one. The main difference is that I have added much more about the incommensurability of intensity & the shortcomings of language, as well as a few pages with extensive references about spiritual narcissism. There's also some discussion of my use of the term "patriarchy", elucidated by reference to Juliet Flower MacCannell, & I can totally recommend her Regime of the Brother.

My book is available here at Lulu, & soon be available on Amazon, since I have sorted out what the issue was there. 

EDIT: This book is now approved for Amazon 7 will be there shortly. Currently the older version (232 pages) is on sale there, but when it's listed as slightly longer (& £12.99) it will be the new one.  It looks like the book is available now at 239 pages but the price is still £13.75 & the back cover looks like the old one, though "look inside" gives the new TOC. I would assume that the new book is what you will get. The price should update soon.

The book about Lilītu & Lamaštû & the book about Tara are both being written right now & I trust that they will be pleasing to Maa.

Of astrology & various books

The North node is now in Aries. My natal North Node is Virgo, & in the eighth house. Naturally, I long ago rejected material values & affirmed transience & the incomplete. It is time for everyone to eradicate trauma bonding & eliminate energy vampires from your life. People-pleasing is stupid. Cut that shit out of your life, & correct any dysfunctional situation where you lose your energy to some worthless motherfucker.

The nodes getting away from the Taurus nonsense is good news for everybody, except narcissists, so it's extra good for the rest of us. The basic meaning of Aries is independence, fire, energy, & courage. Libra is basically to do with partnership & cooperation. The shift means that it is time to affirm your true inner self  above the others. Libra tends to people-pleasing, dishonesty to keep the peace, & passivity. Nowadays, cooperating with the other tends to involve adapting to the demands of a narcissistic society. This nodal shift says "fuck that" very emphatically. You affirm yourself & defend yourself. It is not selfish, to be, first & foremost, yourself.

Libra is in my eighth house but governs nothing at all for me. I have never sought to please others, I write for the Divine Mother alone, but I witness now others needing to break away from people pleasing. It's the perfect time to do so until January 2025.

Thankfully the eighth house can be said to govern death & rebirth, as well as sex. The sun is in my second house but, since money is of no interest to me, I am reading this as a very good aspect for weightlifting again &/or the approbation of the Dark Mother, with which She has lately been very generous. More generally, it's to do with self worth. For everybody, though, the North Node in Aries should help you cut away the bullshit people from your lives, & the horses the fuckers rode in on. Own your own part in things, but focus on yourself. The Aries/Libra axis will help you realise the nature of any dodgy interpersonal dynamics.

Had to correct a footnote in Kali breathes this fire, the revised version of which is now uploaded, with a somewhat modified cover. In a few days, the Amazon link will give the corrected version. I have approved the proofs for Durga sings every night & dressed in flesh so these will be on Amazon shortly too. For now they are available on Lulu at the above links. Because Amazon suck ass, not least by paying me a fraction of what Lulu pays, above & beyond treating their employees like shit, I prefer that people buy the things from Lulu. But, naturally, I myself use Prime, like the whore that I am, & I understand if others do so too. 

EDIT: Here is Durga sings every night on Amazon & also on Amazon UK.

"Durga sings every night"

Here my latest book is now available. Durga Maa is represented by Her yantra, which is the perfect solution for cover images. Here is Durga sings every night, Because of the subject matter, I am fairly stroppy in the introduction, mounting  a vicious attack on narcissism, indeed on all forms of fascism, &, equally predictably, on the motherfucking patriarchy with its new egomimetic development into the regime of the brother, first depicted by Juliet Flower MacCannell.

This book by David C. McLean is a complement to the series that he is writing on Kali Maa & the Mahavidyas. 

It contains an introduction that relates Durga to Kali, & describes the contrast between the demands of commensurability & intensity, between chaos & order, & between goddess & patriarchal oppression. 

McLean argues that the only fundamental wrong is narcissism, & describes the selective eternal return in Deleuzian terms so the ego is excluded, only the partial & fragmentary gets to be born again, only that which is incomplete & process.
