“This fleeting world,” the Buddha said, “is like a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream, a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, a flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.” ~ The Diamond Sutra

The Bronze Serpent is a treasury of tales of earth, sea and sky, from primordial myths of chaos and cosmos, to the starlit realm and the wonders of nature. There are more than twenty tales from all over the world, among them The Elixir of Immortality, The Silver Maid, and The Crane Wife.

Five sections accompany the stories, exploring the extensive themes through comparative mythology, folklore, symbolism and shamanic flights of consciousness.

The Bronze Serpent is a journey through the dream of the world, from the Northern Lights and the Milky Way, to Star Maidens, butterflies and golden lotus flowers.

A little note. although The Bronze Serpent is my third book, they are not a trilogy. They all about myth, symbolism, folklore and a little esotericism, but they may be read together or independently of each other.
