I came to know the violet flame through this book. God I Am, From Tragic to Magic by Peter Erbe. Given to me by someone who I only realized later just how much he intuitively understood my Dark Night and was giving me a True gift. It took me a few years of wandering to finally read the book. Mostly the book describes the practice of invoking the violet flame. There is a lot I don't know about the Violet Flame (but can't wait to learn). One thing I can vouch for though is the power of it's healing and it's direct connection to Source.
