Product Information
Philip Gardiner and Gary Osborn trace the extraordinary influence of a snake cult which was prevalent all over the world in ancient times. They demonstrate how a central rite of the cult in which snake venom was mixed with snake blood in a ceremonial bowl, which came to be called 'the grail', produced a healing elixir which formed the basis of many religions and symbolic rituals, including the Christian Eucharist. They also make the astonishing discovery that this rite operated on a number of levels. On a physical level the powerful healing properties of the elixir, which is now proven by modern science to enhance t-cell replication, was in fact the basis of the 'Elixir of Life'. But these rituals also work at a deeper level, apparent in all the great mystery traditions of the world though shrouded in myth and symbolism. Whether it be the quest to find the elusive 'Philosopher's Stone' or indeed the Holy Grail, the ultimate quest is in fact to achieve true enlightenment.Product Identifiers
