Mike Magee’s new book Yakṣiṇī Magic is now available from Amazon.com as a print on demand paperback.
Yakṣiṇī Magic is the first extensive treatment of Tantric texts dealing with practices that relate to the Yakṣiṇīs, an ancient class of female spirit beings often described as “fertility deities” and said to inhabit wild places, plants and trees.

Original Falcon Press has just published my new book, Hine’s Varieties: Chaos & Beyond. Its a selection of writings spanning 1985-2019, divided thematically into sections: Chaos Magic, Tantra, Sexualities, Practice, Paganisms, Histories, and Fiction, each section prefaced by autobiographical reflections and with some attempt at background context for each essay.
It is available direct from Original Falcon Press as a printed book, or ebook in Mobi or Epub format. With a foreword by David Southwell, and internal art by Maria Strutz
Avalonia Books have just released a new book by Jan Fries – Kali Kaula: A Manual of Tantric Magick. Jan Fries surely needs no introduction – his previous books, such as Visual Magick, Helrunar and Seidways are all highly regarded books – and deservedly so. David Rankine of Avalonia has been kind enough to send me a copy of Kali Kaula – so expect a review soon!
