Brazen Serpent: Chaos and Order

The book explores the myth of the Brazen Serpent as a cypher for the "Divine Code" concealed within everything about us. From William S. Burroughs to Teilhard de Chardin, the book explores its theme through numerology, geometry, and allegory, among others, including the "23 Enigma" and so-called Kirlian energy fields.

Using the image of the Brazen Serpent created by Moses to protect the Hebrews from serpent attacks, the author considers the symbol of the serpent in its widest sense, not only from the notion of the Brazen Serpent but also from the point of view of the Kabbalah, tracing the use of this potent symbol into more recent esoteric Orders.

Richly illustrated, the book has a selected bibliography and index of persons, places, and subjects.

Full Colour, Hardcover. Third Edition.
