The Brazen Serpent (1)

Created on: 2024-10-18
The author's research takes the reader on a fascinating journey of discovery, in which he provocatively explains the serpent myth as an allegory for God's concealment within the very fabric of time and space. He approaces this question from several angles, including exegesis, numerology, alchemy and the Kabbalah. The journey takes you along many paths.

The start of this journey is a spiritual and self-initiatory one. The Foreword is by Alastair McGawn Lees, Librarian General of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia. The introduction sets the symbolic scene in the wilderness where Moses is taught by God how to prevent the serpents from tormenting and killing the faithless and faltering Israelites. Osborne explains the importance of the Tau cross, and the symbolism of the fiery seraphim, which takes us back to man's banishment from a paradise guarded by a cherubim with a flaming sword.

The author touches upon Martinism, and the Golden Dawn, and considers the symbolism of the serpent in the occult doctrine of Geburah and the treading down of the seven-headed serpent on the vault floor. Finally, Osborne considers the evidence for God in modern science, from man's DNA to Teilhard's notion of the “noosphere”.
