New book - The Serpent Grail

[carolynwhite2]

I noticed this upcoming new book in a recent catalogue. Seems to 
offer a possible link between some of the ideas in the WW, maybe. I 
wondered if Voldie had used Helga's cup for mixing snake blood/venom 
in one of his many experiments to achieve immortality ?

My catalogue additionally said:

What connects the Holy Grail, the Elixir of Life and the 
Philosopher's Stone? Why does the serpent motif continually recur 
throughout history? Based on extensive research, this highly 
controversial investigation claims to reveal the ultimate secrets of 
the world's most enigmatic mysteries.

Travelling from Scotland to the Middle East in search of the truth, 
the authors have visited mosques, synagogues, Christian churches, 
witches' covens and Templar rituals. They trace the extraordinary 
story of a snake cult that was prevalent all over the ancient world 
and which has influenced every major religion. 

The book demonstrates how a central rite in which snake venom was 
mixed with snake blood in a ceremonial mixing bowl came to be 
called `The Grail'. It also shows that the `serpent beings' of 
ancient myth were real people who had attained a state of advanced 
awareness. Ultimately, the Holy Grail, the Elixir of Life and the 
Philosopher's Stone are revealed as one single metaphor for spiritual 
enlightenment.
