The Brazen Serpent - (The 23-Enigma) 2nd Edition by M R Osborne (Hardcover)

About the Book

The symbol of the serpent in its widest sense encompasses not only the notion of the Nehushtann in the Bible, but also, from the perspective of the occult tradition, which traces the use of this potent symbol into more recent esoteric Orders.

Book Synopsis

A dazzling commentary on the Brazen Serpent or "Nehushtan" myth told through the lense of biblical commentary, occult knowledge and mystical tradition.

The biblical Nehushtan has inspired generations of writers to reflect on the divine code concealed within everything. From the occultism of William S. Burroughs to the Catholic metaphysics of Teilhard de Chardin, the book explores its themes through an investigation of numerology, geometry, symbolism and vitalism.

Key features of the book:

• an examination of number as a primal force;

• the history and meaning of serpent symbolism; and

• alchemy and the Kabbalah in a biblical context.

For readers of Christian mysticism, practical spirituality, and anyone interested in the gnosis of healing.

"[This book] meshes several disciplines to make a case for why we should look beyond what we can see to access a higher, deeper, and better plane of living. With some alchemy, philosophy, Christianity, science, and even history (Egyptian and Hebrew), readers get a lot of food for thought in just a little over 100 pages." Soul Window.Com
