The Brazen Serpent: Chaos and Order

By M.R. Osborne

A dazzling commentary on the Brazen Serpent or "Nehushtan" myth through the lenses of biblical commentary, occult knowledge and mystical tradition.

The biblical Nehushtan has inspired generations of writers to reflect on the divine code concealed within everything. From the occultism of William S. Burroughs to the Catholic metaphysics of Teilhard de Chardin, the book explores its themes through an investigation of numerology, geometry, symbolism and vitalism.

Key features of the book:

an examination of number as a primal force;

the history and meaning of serpent symbolism; and

alchemy and the Kabbalah in a biblical context.

For readers of Christian mysticism, practical spirituality, and anyone interested in the gnosis of healing.

" This book] meshes several disciplines to make a case for why we should look beyond what we can see to access a higher, deeper, and better plane of living. With some alchemy, philosophy, Christianity, science, and even history (Egyptian and Hebrew), readers get a lot of food for thought in just a little over 100 pages." Soul Window.Com

Part of the Alchemy and Mysticism Series. This distinctive and thought-provoking series gathers seven works that illuminate the hidden traditions and symbolic language of Western alchemy, Rosicrucian philosophy, sacred art, and spiritual transformation. Drawing on decades of research and lived engagement with the Hermetic and Biblical traditions, M. R. Osborne guides readers through an accessible yet deeply contemplative exploration of some of the most enduring mysteries of the Western esoteric path.

Across these volumes, readers encounter the alchemical imagination of Blake, the Rosicrucian vision of death and spiritual rebirth, the symbolic grammar of sacred architecture, and the enigmatic wisdom preserved within the Western initiatic tradition. Each book stands independently, offering its own complete inquiry, yet together they form a richly interwoven tapestry-an invitation into the perennial search for meaning, transcendence, and inner awakening.

This collection opens a gateway into a world where myth, philosophy, and spiritual experience converge, offering readers both intellectual illumination and a path of personal reflection.
