15.2: Tantra (Part 2: America) - Occult Confessions

What this episode covers

We pick up our discussion of tantra by following it across the ocean from India to America. American tantra came to focus specifically on sex. It inspired the founders of the Ordo Templi Orientis, which would go on to become a home for Aleister Crowley, Pierre Bernard’s various tantric yoga and healing orders and schools, and the Wiccan pioneers Gavin and Yvonne Frost. Tantra also became a direct import with Tibetan and Indian gurus fleeing oppression or prosecution to start over in America.
