Announcement: Treadwells Subscriber Lectures

Current circumstances have disrupted my lecture plans for 2020, but I have contributed a number of lectures to a new venture from Treadwells of London – their online subscriber lectures.

Origins of Tantra Part 2For £12.99 a month subscribers gain access to all uploaded illustrated lectures and seminars, and they receive immediate access to all new uploads. You can also cancel your subscription at any time. There are fourteen lectures currently available, with more to be added each month. There are three lectures from me so far available – my lecture on Edward Sellon and the Cannibal Club, and two parts of a three-part series exploring the early origins of the Tantric Traditions. The first part is a general introduction to Tantric historiography – exploring some general issues and exploding some myths, and the second is a look at the traditions of ascetic Śaivism – the atimarg.
