Book Review: The Serpent Grail by Philip Garnier and Gary Osborn
Ever wondered what the two snakes that symbolize medicine represent?
Caduceus
The Serpent Grail investigates the history of the serpent and its influence on mythology, religion and science. Garnier and Osborn delve into such fascinating myths as the Philosopher's Stone, the Elixir of Life, the Naga Serpent Lords and the Holy Grail, explaining the possible connections of their existence through symbolism, photographic documentation and historical accounts. They examine the cultural affects of the serpent and the power that it has on cultures across the world. I thought their research makes a strong point, that we don't understand everything about the mysteries of serpents and snakes. And the possibility that they are the link to eternal life and divine healing.
