Author Description

""The Wisdom of the Serpent"" by Joseph Lewis Henderson is a comprehensive exploration of the myths surrounding death, rebirth, and resurrection. Drawing from a wide range of cultures and traditions, Henderson examines the symbolic significance of the serpent as a powerful symbol of transformation and renewal. Through his analysis of myths and legends from ancient Egypt, Greece, India, and beyond, Henderson reveals the common threads that run through these stories and the deep psychological insights they offer into the human experience of mortality and transcendence. With its blend of scholarship and poetic insight, ""The Wisdom of the Serpent"" is a rich and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most enduring and universal themes in human culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
