Magic of Serpents by Scott Irvine

Why can the serpent represent both hidden wisdom and danger? In The Magic of Serpents, Scott Irvine explores the changing meanings of this powerful figure across mythology, religion, philosophy, and spiritual traditions. He considers its association with ancient knowledge as well as its darker role in the story of Eden.

This short study is for readers interested in how a single creature can carry very different cultural and sacred meanings. Its emphasis is interpretation and worldwide serpent lore, rather than a practical spellbook. Published by Moon Books; ISBN 9781803410562.
