Brody, David S.: The Serpent Oracle: Templars, Mormons and the Lilith Legacy

Description

Consider this incongruity: Many of us are taught that the serpent is the agent of Satan, while at the same time the American Medical Association features the snake on its logo as a symbol for wisdom. Which is it? And can it be both? Snake worship has long been part of the ancient world, and the concept of the snake symbolizing wisdom is evident even today in some Freemasonic ritual and tradition. In addition to exploring the complex human relationship with the snake, The Serpent Oracle also explores the power of conspiracy theories, including a popular modern-day one which holds that the “Fallen Angels” of Biblical lore were actually serpent-like aliens who descended from the heavens and mated with human females. The theory holds that the offspring of these serpent aliens rule the world today, disguised as the British royal family and other luminaries. As Nicholas Cage said, “Every great story begins with a snake.” I’m not sure The Serpent Oracle qualifies as “great,” but I’m pretty sure you’ll find it a fun and informative read. – David S.
