New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
Astrology helps you to understand the multifaceted being you love (whose underwear is decorating your bathroom). Too often we wake from the honeymoon in shock. Where did that nasty temper come from? Tight-fisted with money? Lack of imagination in bed? No, this cannot be the perfect person with whom I signed a two-year lease! Fortunately, astrology gives you insight into the full spectrum of your lover's soul. Just by knowing your lover's birth date, you can understand his or her Sun sign and the planetary energies that rule it.

Writing a book for the layperson was a new experience for me. Thus, the challenge was twofold: to simplify two difficult subjects—astrology and health—into a useful book that would help the reader understand ...
By the time you read this I will have traveled to and returned from Hawaii—not for a vacation, but to give a workshop on the subject of the Sri Yantra, an important diagram for practitioners of some paths of Tantra. Its main image is that of nine triangles of differing sizes that lay over each other, with four pointing up and five pointing down surrounded by symbolic lotus petals, circles, and an outer "square." The Sri Yantra Now, the question some readers may be asking is: "What is a nice Kabalist like Kraig doing with this Tantra sex stuff?" The answer is actually twofold.
