Gregory
Peters

Gregory Peters is an author, researcher, and practitioner of the Western Mystery Traditions, Tantra, and Dzogchen, with more than thirty-five years of initiatic study and practice. He writes from inside the traditions he describes, bringing together the disciplines of the scholar and the direct experience of the practitioner. His work stands in the current of the Typhonian Tradition — the oldest stratum of initiatory experience, a stellar tradition in which the dark, chthonic, feminine powers are recognized as the source of the light rather than its adversary.

At the center of that current stands the Goddess herself — the lunar, starry wisdom that the solar orthodoxies overwrote but never wholly erased. It is the thread that runs from the goddess of the seven stars through the mystery schools of Egypt and Greece to the Kaula shrines of India and the Tantric north, surfacing again in the magical revival of our own age. Following it has carried him from the labyrinthine ruins of forgotten cults to the esoteric landscapes of southern France, along the temple paths of India and Nepal , and through the Himalayas, in the footsteps of the sages and seekers who kept it alive.

Gregory Peters

A lifelong traveler, Peters has worked with sacred landscapes across the world: the Languedoc of southern France, with its Cathar ruins and shrines of the Black Virgins; the temple precincts of Egypt and Greece; the pilgrimage paths of India and Nepal; and the high Himalaya. These places are not backdrops to his work but participants in it. Beneath their histories runs the same dark, generative presence — the Goddess in the land itself — and much of his writing begins in the attempt to listen to what these landscapes have preserved.

In addition to his books with Original Falcon Press, Peters has edited several significant esoteric works, contributed introductions and articles, and regularly presents research papers for conferences and initiatic bodies. A Freemason of many years, he has written and lectured for a wide range of esoteric and fraternal groups.
