                                        Ex Dono Sapientissimi Comitis St. Germain Qui Orbem Terrarum Per Cucurrit.
                                        From the gift of great wisdom of Count St. Germain,
                                        who ran the world through.

                                        "Whatever deserves to exist deserves also to be known,
                                        for knowledge is the image of existence." --Francis Bacon

                                        Decoding the Triangular Book of St. Germain

                                        Picture
                                        This is the story of a singular man, and his influence on the spirit of his times and our time. It is not an old legend of a reincarnating genius, a body-jumping avatar, nor an new age "ascended master." It isn't about parlor tricks or youth serums.

                                        It is the story of St. Germain's book of magic, why he may have written it, what secrets of pre-history it may hold, and its clues to St. Germain's family origins and mystic-political agenda within European royalty and Masonry, particularly at the purported end of his life.

                                        It is intriguing no matter what your viewpoints about St. Germain's longevity and spiritual attainments. In many ways, he is still with us today, as many of the issues suggested in his Triangular Book still haunt us. It leads us back to the mysteries of Egypt and Sumeria, back to the time of the great Flood. What we can extract from it is a mirror of our own soul.

                                        We are still concerned with the hunt for universal medicines, longevity, the Precession of time and its relation to epochs and cultures, as well as the "treasures" hard to attain that are hidden in the very depths of our being -- our souls. To the extent that we each contain a universe within, we are in that sense immortal.



                                        Written on the wall of a church in Germany,
                                        attributed to St. Germain
                                         
                                        Ye call me Master and obey me not.
                                        Ye call me Light and see me not.
                                        Ye call me the Way and walk it not.
                                        Ye call me Right and desire it not.
                                        Ye call me Wise and follow me not.
                                        Ye call me Fair and love me not.
                                        Ye call me Eternal and seek me not.
                                        Ye call me Gracious and trust me not.
                                        Ye call me Just and fear me not.
                                        We give you Love, 'tis all we've got.
                                        For Love unties the Gordian Knot.

                                        by St. Germain


                                        "Curious scrutator of all nature,
                                        I have seen gold thick in the depths of the double mercury.
                                        I have seized its substance and surprised its changing.
                                        I explain by that art the soul with the womb of a mother,
                                        Make its home, take it away, and as a kernel
                                        Placed against a grain of wheat, under the humid pollen;
                                        The one plant and the other vine-stock, are the bread and wine.
                                        NOTHING was, God willing, NOTHING became something,
                                        I doubted it, I sought that on which the universe rests,
                                        NOTHING preserves the equilibrium and serves to sustain.
                                        Then, with the weight of praise and of blame.
                                        I weighed the eternal, it called my soul,
                                        I died, I adored, I knew NOTHING more."

                                        Triangle of Light

                                        Picture
                                        Triangle of Light 

                                        The triangle is one of most common occult or alchemical symbols. First and foremost, in Masonry, the triangle represents the three degrees of Initiation. LIGHT is the True Center of the mystic Triangle. The "triple unity" is that of first principle or the beginning; regenerativity or life in perpetuity; and the absolute synthesis of the end. The triangle is a fusion of the qualities of the Demiurge: Power, Wisdom & Love.

                                        A triangle with its point downward represents the deity and is called the Deity's Triangle, or the Water Triangle. With one point up, it is called the Earthly Triangle, Pyramid Triangle, or the Fire Triangle. Joined they are the hexagonal Star of David, centered on the Heart. Adding another dimension yields two interpenetrating tetrahedra - the star tetrahedra or Merkabah Field. The ultimate goal of Alchemy is to obtain special wisdom, self-renewal and even immortality.

                                        The inverted triangle is also a symbol of The Feminine - Delta of Venus, and suggests the deepest of meditative brainwave states - Delta (1-4 hz) where psychophysical regeneration and recalibration takes place. The delta state rejuvenates your mind, body, and spirit. Delta range of deep dreamless sleep also triggers the release of anti-aging Human Growth Hormone so beneficial for renewing energy, healing and regeneration. Scientifically proven benefits of delta brainwaves include:

                                        1. Speeding up regeneration of new cells and hormone production

                                        2. White blood cells multiply greatly killing invading germs and bacteria
                                        3. Restore unbalanced sodium and potassium in the body which causes fatigue
                                        4. Keep blood circulation flowing freely.


                                        St. Germain's triangular text might rightly be called THE DRAGON BOOK. Find out about the Dragon lineage, Deep Time, Dragon Precession and 2012, and the nature of Immortality. The Dragon is the symbolic superstar of Saint Germain's secret grimoire. Find out why and what it means.


                                        St. Germain had The Secret, a legacy of Manly Palmer Hall and his Philosophical Research Society (PRS). It was the supreme treasure of his vault. It now resides in the Getty Research Institute, likewise deep in their library vaults. Revealed here are previously unseen photos of the sigils, emblems and ciphers of the book, hidden since 1750. 

                                        Dimensional Shift

                                        This master adept, called the wisest in Europe, reserved his greatest gift -- the two books he wrote -- for his wisest companions. One of them was a magical rite for alchemical Immortality. The Magnum Opus, the Great Work of alchemy, is the utter transformation of oneself into a being of light, an energy body. Saint Germain's great secret was the Art of Rejuvenation and Spiritual Rebirth. Immortality is the occult alternative to Christian salvation. Post-modern views include ideas of holographic pattern or field survival from advanced physics. There is a clear message to realize the immortality that rests within us.


                                        High ritual magic can be traced to Hellenistic Egypt, from there to Arab Spain and Jewish practitioners of Kabbala, then to late medieval magicians. Magic was a fundamental element in the rituals of the Greek mysteries. There are three basic ‘paths’ in Ritual Magic: the ‘left’ and ‘right.’ These refer to the goal of the magician’s spiritual work.

                                        A “Left hand path” magician usually seeks physical and/or spiritual immortality and magnification of the Higher Self. A "Right hand path" magician seeks union with divine energy and dissolution of the ego/personality. The Middle Way annihilates each thought against its opposite, opening the most direct path to transcendence or primordial awareness of the eternal. Is it a choice to pursue individual glory or immortality rather than union or absorption, or are they in fact different facets of the same paradoxical state?

                                        St. Germain recorded his version of "The Secret" to health, wealth and long life in his legendary TRIANGLE BOOK, and apparently made copies for his closest circle of initiates. But, perhaps even then, the entire secret was never entrusted to a single individual, as the copies of the book are not identical, containing different illustrations. It includes angelic invocations, sigils and ritual timing. Ameretat is one of the Archangels of Zoroastrianism, considered the angel of immortality and ruler over plants. Myrtle is a symbol of immortality. Fir is the evergreen of immortality.

                                        We might deduce that to properly work the formulas in the book requires the Emblems and Sigils it described. Is this why Manly Palmer Hall possessed two copies of the book, each with different glyphs? It begs the point, were there other copies with even more illustrations required to initiate the whole current -- to attain magical immortality?

                                        The TRIANGLE BOOK (or Triangular Book) differs from many alchemical texts in its language, being more of a ritual invocation than a recipe. Naturally, St. Germain made marvelous plant and herbal medicines (spagyrics) but this book is not about that but about the qualitative Universal Medicine. Meditation facilitates spiritual pursuits, including alchemy, qabalah and magic.

                                        What we know is that both St. Germain and Manly Palmer Hall lived to a ripe old age and remained mentally vibrant, each a great adept of his own era. Can this obscure arcane text -- one of the rarest occult manuscripts -- be the secret of their longevity? The book is alleged to be Egyptian in origin. MPH, himself, can be seen with the book (shown here) in the frontpiece portrait in his FREEMASONRY OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS.


                                        Here, for possibly the first time ever, the text translation appears publically with the withheld 5 illustrations of the two copies. Even in the originals, it is difficult to make out the precise glyphs of the sigils, but arguably their magical potency is intact. Sigils and emblems often contain hidden meanings, since they are a visual shorthand which can be "read" for their symbolism. Carl Jung used this method as the traditional basis of his alchemically inspired psychology.

                                        Saint Germain had a secret that became a legacy of Manly Palmer Hall (MPH) and his Philosophical Research Society. It was his supreme treasure, which he kept safely hidden in his PRS vault. The two parchment cipher texts now reside in the Getty Research Institute, likewise deep in their library vaults.

                                        This wisest adept in Europe reserved his greatest gift for his wisest companions.

But it seems the entire secret was never entrusted to a single individual, as the copies of the book are curiously not identical, containing different illustrations.

                                        Since it is an Abramelin-style magical text, we might deduce that to properly work the ritual formulae in the book, the Emblems and Sigils it described are required. Is this why Manly Palmer Hall possessed two copies of the book, each with different glyphs? It begs the point, were there other copies with even more illustrations required to initiate the whole current -- to attain magical immortality?

Can this obscure arcane text -- one of the rarest occult manuscripts -- be the secret of their longevity? The book is allegedly Egyptian in origin. Hall can be seen with the book in a portrait, which appears as frontpiece in his Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians.

                                        Who Was St. Germain?

                                        IMMORTALITY, LONGEVITY & TRANSCENDENCE

                                        Here There Be Dragons

                                        WHO WAS ST. GERMAIN?

                                        The following is offered as suggestion rather than proof:

                                        Among the legends of his origins is that he was a "wandering Jew" or an exiled Transylvanian Prince. His "dragon book" implies that his lineage is secretly identified with the Dragon. All those threads weave together once we realize that Royal Ashina Khazars, a dynasty of converted Jews ruled Khazaria (ancient Scythia) from about 650 to 1016. Two royal clans merged: in Hebrew Ha-Shechina, and Turkic Ashina.

                                        They were preceded by proto-Scythian kings who initiated a custodial tradition of seership and wisdom that migrated with them from Transylvania and Central Asia throughout Europe. Thus, the Scythian dynasties permeated European royalty as individual Dragon lineages fused.

                                        The (Central Asian) Khazar name is derived from Turkic *qaz-, meaning "to wander." The Ashina was considered a sacred clan of quasi-divine status. The Ashina clan, a noble caste, carry the 16q24.3 "red gene" inherited from the Sumerian Annunaki, the root of the Dragon seed that permeates royal lines: Merovingian, Carolingian, Tudor, Plantagenet, Stuart, Hapsburg, Hanoverian, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Guelph, Bowes-Lyon, Battenberg (Mountbatten), Guise, and Savoy families - and Transylvanian lineages. The Davidic House of Judah married into the descent of the Merovingian Kings of the Franks. They are connected by a shared bloodline. The dragon archetype rests within the Dragon blood, passed on through the genes.

                                        According to Nicholas de Vere, "Briefly, the Dragon lineage starts in the Caucasus with the Annunaki, descending through migrating proto-Scythians to the Sumerians while branching off also into the early Egyptians, Phoenicians and Mittani. A marriage bridge back to Scythia infused the Elvin line of “Tuatha de Danaan” and the Fir Bolg, which branched into the Arch-Druidic, Priest-Princely family to the Royal Picts of Scotland and the ring kings of the Horse Lords of Dal Riada, through the Elven dynasty of Pendragon and Avallon del Acqs, and down to a few pure bred families today."

                                        The Royal Court of the Dragon was founded by the priests of Mendes in about 2200 BC and was subsequently ratified by the 12th dynasty Queen Sobeknefru. This sovereign and priestly Order passed from Egypt to the Kings of Jerusalem; to the Black Sea Princes of Scythia (Princess Milouziana of the Scythians) and into the Balkans - notably to the Royal House of Hungary, whose King Sigismund reconstituted the Court just 600 years ago. Sigismund’s assumed descent from Melusine. Her ancestry actually can be traced back to the Scythian Dragon Princess Scota, Queen Sobekh Nefru and the Egyptian Cult of the Dragon. Vlad Dracul was a minion of Sigismund of Luxembourg, and was educated at the Emperor's court in Nuremberg. Dracul was invested into Societas Draconis.

                                        The Byzantine Emperor Constantine was a Dragon King. The Byzantine emperor Leo III married his son Constantine (V) to the Khazar princess as part of the alliance between the two empires. Princess Tzitzak was baptized as Irene. Their son Leo (Leo IV) was known as "Leo the Khazar", emperor of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire from 775 to 780.

                                        The "secret of immortality" of the "Wandering Jew" is the in-bred dynasty. For the ancient Egyptians, it lay partly in historical remembrance of one's name. Some say the nomadic Khazars derived from both the Edomites and the so-called “Lost Tribes”. Like their Edomite ancestors, the Khazars were also red-headed, and came to be known as “Red Jews”. Transylvania was part of the Khazarian Empire (with roots from Mongolia to Transylvania).The Khazar ruling class was strikingly handsome with reddish hair, white skin and blue eyes.

                                        Perhaps these concealed symbolic hints were a private joke to himself and perhaps the familial European royalty of St. Germain's unrealized ruler identity. Comte de St. Germain has been plausibly identified as the younger son (b. 1690) of the Prince Franz-Leopold Rakoczy and the Princess Charlotte Amalia of Hesse-Wahnfried. He was concealed from the Hapsburgs and lived incognito. The Hesse blood would invest St. Germain with dragon genes, and provide a familial link to the royal patron of his later years, Landgrave Karl von Hessen.

                                        Transylvanian royalty belonged to the Dragon Court. So, St. Germain might represent himself authentically as a "Wandering Jew" with the secret of immortality, while being Transylvanian (the royal House of Rakoczy) and carrying the Dragon legacy with which he emblazoned his singular book.

                                        Whether it was genetically accurate or not, he had plausible reasons to believe so in his day. In fact, this Dragon connection may explain why he was itinerant, not merely a wandering magician, scholar and businessman -- but a man with a mission. Was this dragon emblem the symbol of his natural family? As a Hungarian or Transylvanian prince, was he either part of or in a struggle to restore a bloodline, bred for rulership and magic?

                                        Transylvania is the earliest known homeland of the Dragon Kings. But, according to Nicholas de Vere, the House of Dracul descended from sons of Attila the Hun with no bloodline connection to Egypt. So it claimed an apostolic succession. There is no definable bloodline link or marriage bridge. If there was indeed dynastic [self-]deception, Saint Germain was unlikely to be any but an unwitting part, and would probably have identified strongly with this legacy. It is a legacy of seership through the genetic root – clear seeing, clairvoyance, transcendent consciousness.

                                        The Dragon Tradition was alive and well during the time of Saint Germain and he was certainly part of it as a Transylvanian prince, whether he could pass a “Dragon DNA test” or not. It is no accident one of his only two original works carried the Dragon emblem. No wonder the book has been held closely ever since.

                                        Presto Chango Manifesto

                                        THE TRIANGULAR BOOK OF SAINT-GERMAIN consists of 24 triangular leaves of parchment, 44 manuscript pages, nine inches on each side in a hog-skin cover. A plush-lined case with the figure of a dragon has kept it in pristine shape. The cypher consists of twenty-six arbitrary characters, translatable by frequency.

                                        The Dragon lineage holds the secret to longevity and transcendence. St. Germain was an alchemist renown for his longevity and youthful appearance. Alchemy begins and ends in the quest for eternal life. It is a spiritual technology of rebirth using natural methods that in their effect transcend nature by amplifying that which is immortal within us. It does not exist in nature but must be prepared by Art. Art is a form of manifesting, making and objectifying the world - spiritual physics.

                                        Artists and mystics are aware of their own internal space and thus able to enter it, playing the mindbody like a musical instrument. Looking inside, they see the true nature of reality and can express that literally and symbolically. We all possess the creative potential. All creative acts are a marriage of spirit and matter, reaching down into the body as the source of our essential being and becoming.

                                        Today, we might describe this resonance as accessing energy that regenerates the mindbody. Healing is an aspect of creativity; nature is within and without us. The Magus does not dominate reality but develops embodied psychophysical equilibrium, clarity, wisdom and compassion.

                                        Creative work originates in the body and is projected out into the world. The projections are then internalized into awareness. The bodymind of the artist is an alchemical vessel containing the creative flux during the process of transformation. Awareness and consciousness form a continuous alchemical movement. The creative gold is generated and embodied in the alembic of the mindbody. The mindbody is the same substance as the Cosmos and contains and reveals its mysteries.

                                        Alchemy reduces all to the first state, the ground state of being - original experience that is timeless, infinite. The classical Void, the quantum vacuum is a carrier of information. The energy body or the field body connects us with the negentropic potential of the zero-point field. Radiant light literally emerges from this mystic void. Primordial structuring processes are common to both psyche and matter, working in the gap or empty interval between intention and action.

                                        So, alchemy refines the way the mindbody generates and processes inherent light as medicine. It refines the aspirant's ability for tapping and amplifying Medicine Light. This primordial state is the luminous ground of our being, hidden deep in the heart of things.

                                        All other goals are subordinate to this prime directive which includes meditative techniques for continuing consciousness after death. This Philosopher's Stone is also the Universal Medicine, the regenerative Elixir of Life. The greatest mystery is the LIFE IN DEATH: we don't die but continue in transcendent form. This is the virtual secret of man and nature.

                                        Philosopher's Stone:
                                        Man is a microcosm holding the keys to all three kingdoms within himself as the “Thrice Great Hermes.” The athenor of the human body contains within it all that is needed to produce the great circulation. The fire, the First and Last Matter, and the vessel are “One.” Nothing needs to be added to the Stone, except the removal of the impurities that surround and drown it. Raise the fire, evaporate the superfluidities and burn off the dross which inhibits its energy to liberate the Light in its fullest expression. This is the secret of Eternal Life. Light is the root of life in death.

                                        The great initiate who termed himself the Comte de St.-Germain must not be confused with the French general of the same name, for the "Wonderman," as M. de St.-Germain was often called, was not a scion of the French family. The theory long held that he was a Portuguese Jew has now been discarded as untenable. The most reasonable conclusion regarding his birth is that he was the legitimate son of Franz-Leopold, Prince Ragoczy of Transylvania: in fact the Comte de St.-Germain appeared in Leipzig in 1777 as Prince Ragoczy. He also admitted to Prince Karl of Hesse that he was the son of Prince Ragoczy and that he was reared and educated by the last Duc de Medici. The contradictory nature of the data regarding the Comte de St.-Germain is strikingly evidenced by several chronological inconsistencies. It is generally supposed that this mysterious adept was born in 1710, but the Countess v. Gergy declared that she had seen him during that year in Venice and that he appeared to be between forty-five and fifty years of age at that time. While the church register at Eckernforde contains a record of his death in 1784, it is known that he was seen upon several occasions subsequent to that date, having attended a Masonic conference in 1785 and having been recognized in Venice in 1788. The last historical mention of the Comte de St.-Germain was in 1822, at which time he was presumably on the eve of embarking for India.

                                        He was a brilliant alchemist who, it is believed, discovered the secret of eternal life. He courted Europe's rich and famous for hundreds of years... and some believe he still lives.

                                        Is it possible that a man can achieve immortality - to live forever? That is the startling claim of a historical figure known as Count de Saint-Germain.


                                        Records date his birth to the late 1600s, although some believe that his longevity reaches back to the time of Christ.
                                        He has appeared many times throughout history - even as recently as the 1970s - always appearing to be about 45 years old.


                                        He was known by many of the most famous figures of European history, including Casanova, Madame de Pampadour, Voltaire, King Louis XV, Catherine the Great, Anton Mesmer and others.

                                        Who was this mysterious man? Are the stories of his immortality mere legend and folklore? Or is it possible that he really did discover the secret of defeating death?

                                        Origins

                                        When the man who first became known as Saint-Germain was born is unknown, although most accounts say he was born in the 1690s.


                                        A genealogy compiled by Annie Besant for her co-authored book, The Comte De St. Germain: The Secret of Kings, asserts that he was born the son of Francis Racoczi II, Prince of Transylvania in 1690.

                                        Other accounts, taken less seriously by most, say he was alive in the time of Jesus and attended the wedding at Cana, where the young Jesus turned water into wine.

                                        He was also said to be present at the council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.

                                        What is almost unanimously agreed on, however, is that Saint-Germain became accomplished in the art of alchemy, the mystical "science" that strives to control the elements.


                                        The foremost goal of this practice was the creation of "projection powder" or the elusive "philosopher's stone," which, it was claimed, when added to the molten form of such base metals as lead could turn them into pure silver or gold.
                                        Furthermore, this magical power could be used in an elixir that would impart immortality on those who drank it.
                                        Count de Saint-Germain, it is believed, discovered this secret of alchemy.

                                        Ever Present, Never Aging

                                        Saint-Germain traveled extensively throughout Europe over the next 40 years - and in all that time never seemed to age.
                                        Those who met him were impressed by his many abilities and peculiarities:

                                        * He could play the violin like a virtuoso.
                                        * He was an accomplished painter.

                                        * Wherever he traveled, he set up an elaborate laboratory, presumably for his alchemy work.
                                        * He seemed to be a man of great wealth, but was not known to have any bank accounts. (If it was due to his ability to transmute base metals into gold, he never performed the feat for observers.)
                                        * He dined often with friends because he enjoyed their company, but was rarely seen to eat food in public. He subsisted, it was said, on a diet of oatmeal.
                                        * He prescribed recipes for the removal of facial wrinkles and for dyeing hair.
                                        * He loved jewels, and much of his clothing - including his shoes - were studded with them.
                                        * He had perfected a technique for painting jewels.
                                        * He claimed to be able to fuse several small diamonds into one large one. He also said he could make pearls grow to incredible sizes.
                                        * He has been linked to several secret societies, including the Rosicrucians, Freemasons, Society of Asiatic Brothers, the Knights of Light, the Illuminati and Order of the Templars.


                                        The Secret: To Dare, To Will, To Know, To Keep Silent

                                        Picture


                                        DRAGONS OF CREATION, DESTRUCTION, REGENERATION, WISDOM, GNOSIS & ENLIGHTENMENT


                                        Dragons are real and the basis of scientific priesthood and royal lineage. The sacred past is a story of sacred dragon or serpent worship. The triangular Dragon Book is essentially a magical astronomical text. Civilization was originally rooted in ancient prehistoric observations of the order of the stars. It tracked time and created calendars, and most importantly allowed predictions of eclipses rooted in the GREAT CYCLE of PRECESSION of the Zodiac, the serpentine ring of the Ecliptic.

                                        Dragons that 'fought with the Sun' probably described the celestial upheaval of large fearsome comets that streaked across the sky with their long tails. They appeared cyclically and broke up upon nearing the sun, some of which collided with Earth. Eclipses were also considered celestial battles between the dark and light. In ancient times the cataclysmic forces of nature were personified as a great cosmic dragon or serpent.

                                        Many ancient mythologies, and many god-like characters who appear in world myth, owe their existence to cosmic disasters that occurred in our solar system and which were witnessed by the inhabitants of the Earth. The cataclysmic events (involving comets and exploding planets) were permanently archived in what we nowadays refer to as the "collective unconscious." They were deeply etched in the racial memory of all mankind.

                                        Decoding the sky meant connecting the dots of the starry constellations, making star maps, reproducing that heaven on earth in the form of sacred sites, and embodying it in sacred royal lineage. The most ancient lines are symbolically related to the circumpolar constellation Draco, the great Dragon or Serpent. The winged serpent was a symbol of the Gods of Egypt, Phoenicia, China, Persia, and Hindustan.

                                        The serpent is set in the symbol of the "Chalice," or downward pointing triangle, that has long been a womb symbol. In the Far East, this symbol is known as the Yoni. The word "one" derives from this word denoting the female womb. The title-page of THE DRAGON BOOK mimics this Dragon in the downward-pointing triangle and describes magic, treasures and immortality. Ritual swallowing by the snake in the underworld led to the symbolic return to the embryonic state, rejuvenation and rebirth in the mystery schools.

                                        Roughly 3000 BC, the heavens revolved around the Great Dragon, and so did earthly civilization.  Dragons became synonymous with immortality because the celestial dragon was exempt from the cycle of time and because the dragon lineage did not die but was preserved in the noble bloodline. The point of circumpolar rotation, inhabited by the star Thuban or not, became the "Eye of the Dragon". Egyptian rulers wore the Uraeus serpent (Wadjet) as their crown symbol of sovereignty (serpent of life), a link to the celestial Oroborous.

                                        The serpent cult worshipped the esoteric or inner sun, manifested as the biophotonic energy body. This inner light is the realization of our own hyperdimensional connection to the greater universe, of our own inner balance and our own growth toward attune to or resonance with the world around us. It is also the part of ourselves and our outer world, which gives life, sustains and gives growth. The dragon and serpent cults inspired megalithic monuments, global dragon and serpent mounds. The most ancient initiatory and healing symbols, the circumpunct, a dot within a circle and/or a cross within a circle symbolize this inner sun.

                                        DRAGON CODE

                                        Dragon history is extensive and wide-spread, as almost every mythology has unique styles of dragon. The Sumerian word for dragon is "ushum". Chinese dragons date back to around 5,000 BCE. The Chinese believed that they were the "descendants of the dragons," too. Like comets, they could rise to the heavens or go to the bottom of the seas. Like Mesopotamian and Egyptian rulers, Chinese emperors were said to be sons of the dragons and wore special robes. The sign of the celestial dragon could only be worn by the emperor, and it was the sign of the ultimate power.

                                        The venom of the snake was used as an Elixir to help prevent disease through boosting the immune system with high levels of protein. And secondly mixing the neurotoxic venom with the blood of the snake or mammalian host such as a horse brings on altered states of consciousness much akin to certain drugs used by shaman across the world from ancient times. Visions of ‘otherworlds’ seen in such trances are often depicted as tombs, wombs or caves, within which sometimes benevolent, sometimes terrible, serpents are encountered.

                                        In any discussion of serpent wisdom we cannot fail to also mention the ancient Hindu Kundalini practice. Kundalini means simply "coiled serpent" and in the Indian system the ida and pingala energy (through serpent channels) are raised up and down the spine to raise the consciousness of the adept. The dual serpentine caduceus is known to all health practitioners the world over.
