Snake Talk : How The World's Ancient Serpent Stories Can Guide Us

Snake Talk: How the World's Ancient Serpent Stories Can Guide Us, by Tyson Yunkaporta and Megan Kelleher, traces the figure of the serpent as it appears across cultures worldwide - from the Basilisk and Wyvern of Europe to the Naga of South Asia and Quetzalcoatl of Mesoamerica.

In Aboriginal tradition, the Serpent is both creator and destroyer, a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, and the authors travel from Kathmandu to Aotearoa, Mesoamerica to China and northern Europe, looking at how artists and makers have honoured this figure.

Following on from Sand Talk and Right Story, Wrong Story, the book asks how humanity might realign its actions with the deeper patterns of creation that serpent mythology encodes, offering what one reviewer called "an extraordinary invitation into the world of the Dreaming."
