Some notes on Serpent Power

The serpent's forked tongue is the three-way crossroads, where we commune with spirits and speak things into being; it is also the shape of the witch's stang

The twin serpents is a ubiquitous symbol of creation, life force, inheritance, transmission of knowledge – not least because mating snakes resemble DNA

A serpent's prey becomes their venom – the building of one's own power by consuming other things

Perhaps a 'serpent mudra' can be used to empower talismans by the sympathetic act of injecting power into it

The use of music and sound, such as drumming, to enter trance – sound waves resemble the movement of snakes

Likewise the shapes of rivers tend to wind and curl like serpents

During a working with the Fates, I perceived the individual threads of their tapestry to be serpents, entwining with each other to rewrite my future

Likewise I perceived that the neurons in my brain were all serpents, swallowing each other's tails and rearranging themselves to form the connections that would change me

Control the mind, don't allow it to control you. To be the Buddha is to be the observer of the mind. Go beyond the physical realm of form into the spiritual realm of peace and Devine energy. 🍎

The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby

"How could nature not be conscious if our own consciousness is produced by nature?"

This book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between science and spirituality, whereby Narby goes down a rabbit hole of connections between molecular biology and indigenous mythology, including the shamanistic use of hallucinogens and what they reveal about the nature of spirits.

As a biologist who tends to keep science and spirituality separate for practical reasons, I found it really interesting to see Narby delve into many examples of how indigenous shamans had, essentially, discovered key scientific concepts before their modern conception. This was something that I was already vaguely aware of, and I enjoyed Narby’s detailed expositions thereof.

Though, perhaps due to the brevity of his spiritual knowledge, I feel he may have been a tad overtaken by enthusiasm and developed some tunnel vision in his quest to realise the nature of spirits. Namely, I believe Narby may have lost sight of the notion that anything we know about spirits lies within the intersection of the spiritual and physical; there are things that lie outside of this intersection that we cannot perceive about the spirits, and likewise things that lie on the physical side of the intersection that spirits cannot perceive about us. His book deals solely with that small overlap and I would reiterate that this is not all that there is.

Regardless, I truly appreciate the sincerity of Narby's self-reflection of his experiences, the palpable admiration that comes through in his writing for indigenous people and their knowledge, and his concern for their future. He highlights some of the obstacles faced by those who would reconcile science and spirituality. Science, that was once the bastard child of Religion attempting to escape from Religion’s shadow, is now performed in ways that work against that initial desire to understand the mechanisms of the Divine.

"... biology has become an industry that is guided by a thirst for marketable knowledge, rather than by ethical and spiritual considerations."

Well, I think we've made some progress on the ethical fronts, if not the spiritual, since the publishing of this book.

To be honest, I started reading Cosmic Serpent as part of my search for more information on serpent power, and not because I was interested in the intersection of science and mysticism. I was happy to find that some key messages in this book aligned with knowledge received in my own communications with spirits. The Serpent is magic, knowledge and life itself, and one benefits greatly from delving into its mysteries.
