A review by nbcknwlf
Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt by John Anthony West
I had to stop reading this, I just couldn't deal.
A good friend, who is something of a rare soul and a modern-day mystic, asked me to read it and to discuss it with him. He provided me with an annotated (by him) PDF of the text. The most fascinating part for me was his gloss, as it gave me a rare glimpse into his frenzied mind. The book itself I can't really review since I didn't finish it, but I had a hard time getting through the part that I did. It WAS somewhat interesting, and while I find this particular brand of mystical Egyptian conspiracy history to be rather annoying as a rule, this book seems to have enough going for it that it is probably worth a read. However, I have too many other things I want to read right now. So, abandoned for the moment.
