Notes; Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary; ""'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. Subjects; Cults - History.

The truth is revealed here, in the only book that tells the story of a very ancient worldwide priesthood. Its mission: to preserve the group's secret knowledge for the good of humanity...and control the development of the world. The first edition of The Shining Ones sold more than 45,000 copies in the UK alone, and three-quarters of this revised version is entirely new material. The "Shining Ones" belonged to an advanced culture that kept its wisdom alive through mythology and legend, and by embedding it in art, architecture, and literature (including the Bible). Authors Philip Gardiner and Gary Osborn, who spent years researching this secret society, have uncovered its influence in every major religion with roots in the ancient world--as well as in science, mysticism, philosophy, and politics. ancient,ancient civilizations,comics and graphic novels,contemporary,controversial knowledge,freemasonry,graphic novels,history,literature and fiction,new age Other Religions, Practices & Sacred Texts, Watkins Media Limited<
