The Bronze Serpent is a treasury of tales of earth, sea and sky, from primordial myths of chaos and cosmos, to the starlit realm and the wonders of nature. There are more than twenty tales from all over the world, among them The Elixir of Immortality, The Silver Maid, and The Crane Wife.

Five sections accompany the stories, exploring the extensive themes through comparative mythology, folklore, symbolism and shamanic flights of consciousness.

The Bronze Serpent is a journey through the dream of the world, from the Northern Lights and the Milky Way, to Star Maidens, butterflies and golden lotus flowers.

The Silver Bough is a journey into a forgotten Otherworld of hollow hills, glass mountains and fabled islands. With over twenty myths and folktales arising from the rich traditions of the world, from ancient Egypt and Iceland, to New Zealand, Siberia and the Celtic lands, among the stories are Gwyn and the Lady of the Lake, The Shipwrecked Sailor, Galahad s Quest for the Grail and Apples of Immortality. Each of the five accompanying sections is woven from the threads of each tale. Rich in symbolism, shamanic traditions and esoteric wisdom, The Silver Bough traverses ancient cosmologies, from the kingdom of the dead, to the domain of the flood and the land of the hidden folk.
