Interesting connections... am reminded that 'snake' is part of the foundation myth of the Abrahamic religions as they emerged into historical time.
Last night I listened to a very recent exuberant talk between Mark Vernon and Iain McGilchrist ahead of reading Vernon's book on Blake. They cover the ground in "spiral conversation". I liked a new term for me, 'misenchantment', relating to our modern understanding of science/tech/intellect. I am thinking you and the readership could enjoy!
I resonate with the concept of the imaginal world. It makes sense of the notion that there is no such thing as matter (quantum physics & mystical traditions) but that we experience living in (what we call) a material world.

Hi Philip,
I will have a listen. I also have the Blake book ready and waiting. Appreciate your comments.
