This is the book list from the late Psalm Isadora, a beloved Tantra teacher of mine. This list comes from her training guide. I share this for two reasons. 1) I want to preserve her teachings. 2) Book lists are a great way to get into the mind of a person's life. I will update this post in the future with commentary on the books of which I have read from this list. I've read many but not all. I will also create my own list of books in the future. If you read on Kindle, please consider (if you choose to buy these books) the Amazon Smile link for a Costa Rican forest and biological reserve I help with my nonprofit.
