Book Description

1997
This book recounts the complete history and teachings of the spiritual masters around the world who have been associated with the serpent.

According to this book, ancient records claim that spiritual masters associated with the serpent initially appeared within Motherlands which once existed in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. These Motherlands are referred to as Atlantis, Pan, or the Old Red Land of the Atlantic, and as Lemuria, Mu, Rua, or Kumari Nadu in the Pacific. The records maintain that the ancestors of the first "Serpents" were extraterrestrials who came to Earth and mated with the native population.

The records further maintain that when the Motherlands were destroyed, the Serpents migrated to various parts of the world and founded new civilizations. Within these civilizations they reigned as priest kings and as the heads of mystery school traditions. They taught their new, adopted people the esoteric wisdom and rites they had learned on the Motherlands. In India these colonial Serpents and their descendants became known as the Nagas (Sanscrit for Serpent); in China they were known as the Lung Dragons; in Egypt they were referred to as the Djedhi (the "Stable Serpents"); in Peru they were the Amarus (Quechuan for Serpent); in Mexico they were called the Quetzlcoatls (Nahuatl for "Plumed Serpent"); in Britain they were the Druid Adders (Welsh for Serpents).

Some of the wisdom the migrating Serpents carried with them from the Motherlands concerned the awakening of the internal "Serpent Power," the latent, alchemical force within humans which normally lies dormant at the base of the spine. Once awakened, this mysterious power moves up the spine of a seeker and eventually transmutes him or her into a living god and goddess. Pyramidal temples and mystery schools were established around the globe by the Serpents in order to disseminate the wisdom of the Serpent Power and promote its awakening within worthy seekers. Megalithic reminders of their ancient schools survive as the Great Pyramid of Egypt, Stonehenge of Britain, Machu Picchu of Peru, and Teotihuacan of Mexico.

During the rise of Christianity, the Serpents were forced to hide within clandestine orders or become assimilated into eastern cultures which welcomed their ancient rites and practices. In the west the Serpents continued to survive as the Freemasons, Templars, and Rosicrucians- organizations which from their inception strove to overthrow the shackles of Christianity and eventually transform the entire Earth into a world based upon freedom of belief and speech.

According to the prophecies of many traditions mentioned in this book, the free world dreamed of by the Serpents is now on the threshold. We will soon move into a new cycle of time called the 5th World, the World of Love, and the World of Venus. This time period has also been referred to as "the thousand year reign of Christ" and as the Aquarian Age. In the 5th World all polarities, all nationalities, and all ideologies will unite through the power of love. The perennial battle between science and religion will come to a conclusion and the two will unite as Sacred Science. Many people will have the opportunity to fully develop the Serpent Power and become Serpents during this New Age. They, and other "returning" Serpents, will oversee the creation of a new World Government.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom is an extraordinary synthesis of esoteric wisdom, and it contains some information that is highly secret. This book triggers inner memory and awakens initiatic consciousness." - Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Pleidean Agenda

"The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom is a magnificent accomplishment...To my knowledge this is the first time anyone has pulled together the history, mythology and spiritual lineages of the serpent masters. Fascinating reading and an absolute must for those on the spiritual path." - Tom Kenyon, M.A., author of Brain States and The Hathor Material

"An amazing bit of work. I highly recommend it to those who seek information on the worldwide mystery schools and master builders that once existed in the past and are flourishing again." David Hatcher Childress, author of The Lost Cities Series

2.0 out of 5 stars VERY misleading title, April 16, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom (Paperback)
This book is a historical and cultural survey of serpents, dragons, and some other really strange things. The premise of the book was supposed to be (from what I understood) the Return of the Serpents of Wisdom (a group of enlightened beings possibility of extraterrestrial origin). That's not what this book is about.

The author says he was initiated into an order of serpent wisdom from Mesoamerica by Anton Ponce De Leon Paiva (see The Wisdom of the Ancient One: An Inca Initiation). So you would think this book is information about the *Return* of those people to the earth either literally or figuratively.

Instead this book talks about all manner of cultural appearances of snakes, serpents, and dragons regardless of the degree of their association to the serpent masters. There are even some very dark figures in this book such as the magical dragon baphomet whom monotheistic readers would object to as a blatant depiction of satan (who is not usually considered an enlightened being).

Although the book shows very serious research it looses much credibility by including things like a copy of the supposed image of Sananda (Jesus) taken in Mexico by an archeologist in 1961 (which in this reviewers opinion is clearly a painting). It causes this book to associate to the same level of authenticity as the Cottingly fairy hoax of the 1920s.

So while the breadth of this book as a historical survey of all things serpenty is admirable, it's ability to stay within the context of a group of enlightened masters has failed. The associations the author attempts to make with any appearance of a snake, serpent, or dragon to some universal brotherhood of enlightened masters ranges from possible to tenuous to fictional.

If you want up to date information on the serpent masters there are much better works out there. Amoung them is Return of the Children of Light: Incan and Mayan Prophecies for a New World by Judith Bluestone Polich. This book is a better blend of myth, history, current scientific research, and future esoteric possibilities. Books by the mentor of this author (Anton Ponce De Leon Paiva) may also do a better job.

4.0 out of 5 stars thick with information, April 22, 2003
This review is from: The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom (Paperback)
I came across this book by accident, and picked it up because of the wonderful Alex Grey artwork on the cover. I am SOOO glad I found it. This book is a wonderful tool for students of ancient hermetic/esoteric wisdom, and is a valuable tool for people interested in Atlantis, or Lemuria, as well as those interested in the symbolism of the serpent from ancient times. Intuitively this book struck so many chords with me that I had to read it little by little each night to process the information. Fortunately, the writing is structured in such a way that it is easy to stop at any time & pick it back up later. I highly recommend it in your study of Esoteric philosphy.

In addition to this book (mostly for the serpent symbolism) I recommend Jeremy Narby's "The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge".

5.0 out of 5 stars I found this to be the best book yet written on the subject!, November 9, 2004
This review is from: The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom (Paperback)
I was in total amazement when I found this book! I had spent a lifetime searching for the information in this book. It never came all in one package for me. It took me 30 years to live and track down what I was finding the author has collected and so easily offered in this remarkable book. In short, this book is nothing less then a clear and consice exposition of who the goodly extra-terrestrials are who seeded this planet, and how they have fit into the legends and myths of human socitietes throughout the ages. When the seeker finds that all the Masters of all the Traditions have roots within the ET Serpent Star Seed, they will then discover the true nature of reality and of the Masters of Wisdom, as well as the Goddesses and Gods. Learning this squarely places the readers identity into certain terms. I consider this the book of the year, if not the decade!
