Description

The Book of Snake is based upon sixty shamanic meditations as well as a lifetime of dreams and real encounters with snakes at numinous moments in Andrea’s life. With Snake as her guide in the timeless imaginal realms, Andrea learns the etiquette of relating to a creature whose reputation ranges from fearful repulsion to reverential respect. The insights she gains in these meditations are both intensely personal and highly pertinent to our times. Their dialogue through these remarkable adventures explores the deepest interiority of the body and the mysteries of the cosmos.

Excerpt: The Book of Snake (by (author) Andrea Mathieson)

Who is Snake? His primary realm lies far below our conscious minds, beneath our ego aspirations and familiar sense of self; yet within our bodies, from our root to our crown, serpentine energy symbolizes our visceral link between spirit and earth. More than any other creature, Snake has clear access to the heart of Life's Great Mysteries. He holds the paradox of what we fear in our bones and what we most need to welcome and embrace, within ourselves and in the world.

Editorial Reviews

Andrea Mathieson has written a deliciously sensual, imaginal book. The body itself becomes the intimate reader, sensing along the way, the true deep nature of the creating wrought by Eros from below. Through tactile listening we come into union with the deepest aspects of the soul revealed through the body by Snake. What he does when invited to awaken the imaginal-real body alters forever how life occurs. Robert Sardello, Ph.D.
