New on Amazon

A quick post about three recent books now being available from Amazon & elsewhere.

The new book about Tara is now on Amazon, here at this link for Amazon UK, or at this one for US Amazon. This one is only £9.

A new, longer, & revised version of the Kali book is apparently on Amazon UK at this link & it is here at US Amazon.

The main reason the new version is longer is because I refer to & discuss studies by psychologists. I have always maintained that gurus, & spiritual people in general, are a bunch of fucking narcissists, so it occurred to me to check the research. It appears that I hit the nail on the head. If I erred it was on the side of generosity, since the research is touchingly unanimous.

The Lilītu & Lamaštû book, however, had some fucking issues with the fucking metadata, but is obviously still at Lulu. It's available at this link. It is at last available on on Amazon UK here & on Amazon USA at this link 

The new Lamaštû book is being written, but I am deliberately taking my time over this one since it will be my main work about antinatalism & population control, & since Lamaštû is so significant to me. 

poems for Lilītu & Lamaštû

Today I make available divine fury: poems for Lilītu & Lamaštû from Posthuman Poetry & Prose. I am also about to release Tara is the fire, but I shall give that a separate post. Here is the first of these books on sale direct, probably coming at Amazon soon. After the Tara book, I am writing one solely about Lamaštû - partly from gratitude to Her for favours received, partly because Her role in preventing conception makes Her very well adapted to my antinatalist predilections.

In the Lilītu & Lamaštû book, with which I am rather pleased, I do deal with my usual themes: humanist narcissism, how Dark Mother has become dea abscondita, the bogus patriarchal religions with their daddy kinks, the narcissistic fear of chaos, the "bipolar" contrast between spicy forms of goddess & the more vanilla aspects of divinity, masculinism & sexism within religion & the occult, &, of course, last but not least, the incommensurability of intensity & the shortcomings of language.

I am hugely grateful to Nausicaa Morgue for the cover images & for discussion of both these aspects of Dark Mother.

Blurb & cover follow, &, since I have neglected to post samples recently, four sample poems:

This book extends McLean's series about goddess to include Lilītu & Lamaštû, & removes Lilītu completely from the fictional image of Her as a creature of the patriarchal god. She is a black moon Kali & a central aspect of Dark Mother.

Seeing Lilītu as a demon is not seeing Her in Her full bipolar divinity as goddess, with Her benevolent & "malevolent" aspects incorporated.

If we cannot accept the spicy aspects of goddess, then we do not deserve Her incalculable bounty.

Forthcoming work, of Lilītu & Lamashtu in particular

There are a few books forthcoming fairly soon from Posthuman Poetry & Prose. These will appear as time permits.

Carolyn Srygley-Moore has a collection of poems called Laying Flowers on the Boundary that should be completed relatively soon. I am putting it together.

I myself am working on two books, with lengthy prose introductions. One of these is about Tara, the second Mahavidya, it is called Tara is the fire, & I shall obviously distance Her very much from the eponymous Buddhist divinity because nobody likes narcissism. I am also doing some minor alterations to the original book Kali breathes this fire because that has been my intention all along.

But before this book I am writing one about Lilītu ("Lilith"), ,Lamaštû & associated divinities that are all differentiated from Inanna, on account of killing babies & various other forms of spicy behaviour. (I do not take it upon myself to judge any behaviour that pleases any aspect of Dark Mother.) This book will be fairly controversial, since I wholeheartedly despise both the Kabbalistic & occult interpretations of "Lilith" as filthy patriarchal bullshit, based upon dismissing aspects of primal goddess as demonic due to occasional spiciness. The same goes for astrological interpretations, though the various "Lilith" figures there have similar functions based upon a less offensive interpretation of Her. 

This book is very little censored to render it palatable; Lilītu is having none of that nonsense. I have actually tried to tone parts of it down because even I find them sarcastic, cruel, & full of raw hatred, but Lilītu thinks I would be a little bitch if I did that because my hatred is strong & beautiful. I really really want the motherfuckers that I abuse in this book to try to curse me. That would be sweet. Lilītu has not said what this book is to be called yet.

Lilītu is a Mesopotamian goddess, & the religions of the book can all fuck off.

EDIT: Because of a promise to Lamaštû I shall be writing a book directly about Her now, & this will come directly after the Tara book is published.
