Love's Revolution

In this enthralling collection, Darren Austin Hall, visionary and spiritual teacher, offers a captivating and provocative exploration of the burgeoning realm of sacred sexuality and the revisioning of intimate relationships as pathways of conscious partnership and embodied mysticism. Through beloved ecstatic poetry, thought-provoking essays, and paradigm-shifting short stories, we are welcomed into a genre Darren calls spiritual-erotica where the ancient truths of sexual alchemical traditions dovetail with modern yearnings for more depth in love, the anguished awakenings of heart-break, and the challenge of sublimating lust into numinous love. Darren also hones in on healing some of the ancient religious wounds of Christianity and Catholicism, steeped in patriarchal mores and disembodiment complexes, in his retelling of the Garden of Eden story with Eve as heroic tantrika seeking serpent wisdom and a titillating tale of Jesus and Mary Magdalene in a passionate embrace as teachers of sacred sexual arts. As Darren affirms, we are in the midst of a love and sexuality revolution that has profound foundation-laying potential to usher in a new culture based on the sacredness of pleasure and the healing of our most ancient sufferings.
