Chemical Serpents latest

First off I would like to thank all those who purchased a preview copy of my incomplete latest book ‘Chemycal Serpents: Part 1 Symbols of Illumination’.  I hope you have found the material so far presented useful, informative and inspirational.  I’ve put a lot of research into this particular work and have found it a very inspirational and illuminating journey writing it.  This isn’t the book I set out to write.  My research changed all that.  It made it better.  As a result I feel like this book wrote itself through me.

I am currently drawing to a close on writing the final chapter.  I’ve made some slight changes to the title of the book.  I’ve opted that the final title will be ‘Chemical Serpents: The symbols of illumination’.  Notice ‘Chemical’ and not ‘Chemycal’.  I’ve opted for the more modern spelling as I feel its less pretentious.  Notice also I have dropped the ‘Part 1′.  This was to signify that the contents were but the first part of a larger project, giving background on symbolism and history in preparation for a more practical treatise on sexual mysteries and use of entheogenic sacraments.   It still is the first part of such a series, its just that I’ve decided the next part will have its own title.

So those of you who have purchased a copy so far have a rather exclusive version of the book.  The final version won’t even have that image on the cover, its just a place holder.  But if you want a copy of this limited preview with the wrong title, you still have a chance to obtain one.  It will be available on lulu until I get around to finishing the last chapter and designing the new cover.  This might be sooner that you think.

  1. I can’t wait to see the final chapter written and the new cover. Holding thumbs (crossed fingers):D

  2. I really want to buy at least one version of the book, but I am not sure if I would understand any of it. :)
    It appears from what I have read about the contents and some excerpts, that it’s way over my head!
    However… I know that the purchase of a copy will be useful in all other ways. I am undecided whether to get the initial copy, or wait until the finished book comes out.
    Decisions decisions ;)

    • @trace This book should be easy to understand for any reader, so I wouldn’t worry about that side of it. The finished edition, which I hope will be out in 2012, should have an additional chapter, and different artwork and will be available in two additions, a paperback similar to this preview copy, only with a different cover, the extra chapter and extra illustrations, and another copy that will be large format with colour illustrations and a higher price tag.
