Synopsis

"'Extraordinary" - "Publishing News". Philip Gardiner and Gary Osborn trace the extraordinary influence of the snake cult which was prevalent all over the world in ancient times. They demonstrate how a central rite in which snake venom was mixed with snake blood in a ceremonial mixing bowl, which came to be called "the grail", produced a healing elixir which formed the basis of myriad religious and symbolic rituals, including the Christian Eucharist. These rituals operated on a number of levels. On a physical level, the powerful healing properties of this elixir, which is now proven by modern science to enhance t-cell replication, was in fact the basis of the "Elixir of Life". But there is a deeper level for the symbolism of these rituals which can be found in all the great mystery traditions of the world, though shrouded in myth and symbolism. Whether it be the quest to find the elusive "Philosopher's Stone" or indeed the Holy Grail, the Ultimate Quest is in fact to achieve true enlightenment.

About this title

Review:

You know you have my every support. -- Andrew Collins - best selling author

From the Author:

As the author of this book I am proud to see it finally in print, following years and years of research and travel around the globe. The revelations held within this book are radically and diametrically opposed to almost every angle you have ever come across regarding the Holy Grail, Elixir and the Stone. Why? Because it was hidden well. By whom - the guardians of the legend and the secret and by our own misconceptions of what was truly meant by the myths, traditions and history of the Grail lore. In truth, we discovered a major component missed by everybody and which has absolutely no relationship with the Da Vinci Code or any other Grail oriented book.

Our only wish is that you, the reader, enjoy and are enlightened by the incredible discoveries.
