I have to take a deep breath and think slowly before writing this review. It is difficult to stay neutral. And I will. This book promises, to any average human being, a process of self discovery (I specifically exclude the highly intellectual gurus that just know it all. The occult science is one overwhelmed by territorial bastards). Each page is blastered with information that provokes the mind without the addition of the useless technical quotations as cited by most other authors (which makes most of them comparable to a physics text). In a way the author manages to bring together many loose strings for those still on a wandering path. Whether you agree with the contents thereof or not, this book surely clarifies the side of the border you will be after reading it, and you will be able to acknowledge it. The text is definitely not for the weak-minded as it plays with the mind, sometimes in a very crude manner. The author generally warns the reader against this. What I generally like about the text is that the author only suffers from the me-me-me-syndrome when it seems that he feels proud about a personal achievement. Not like most other authors suffering from in-your-face self-deification. In a subtle way the author convinces you that he has found his truth. However, technically I would suggest a revision, which I wouldn't mind doing myself as I feel that authors get to involved with the contents of the text. In a way the technical errors does turn the text into a scribble-pad, giving it your own personal touch and claiming it yours by heart. The text therefore becomes a partner. I surely advise this book to anyone lead to it by their own Will. You will know if this is your cup o' tea just by reading the title.
I am only half way through the book of the serpent and find it very enchantable to read. I would suggest this book to anyone with a very strong will.
