Book Description
This two-volume publication offers an in-depth analysis of ophidian symbolism in Eastern Africa, while setting the topic within its regional and historical context: namely, with regards to the rest of Africa, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Greek world, ancient Palestine, Arabia, India, and medieval and pre-Christian Europe. Through the ages, most of those areas have connected with Eastern Africa in a broad sense, where ophidian symbolism was as “rampant” and far-reaching, if not more so, as anywhere else on the continent, and perhaps in past civilisations. Much as in the wider context, snakes were held to be long-lived, closely related to holes, caverns, trees, and water, life and death, and credited with a liking for milk. Even though ophidian symbolism has always been developed out of the outstanding biological and ethological features of snakes, the process of symbolisation, which plays a crucial role in the elaboration of cultural systems and the shaping of human experience, was inevitably at work. This first volume deals with snakes as a zoological category; snake symbolism as perceived by encyclopaedists and psychologists; and ophidian symbolism as it occurred in ancient civilisations. It explores the traditional African scene in general with a view to set the scene for a more proximate baseline for comparison. The divide between animals and humans was porous, and snakes had a more or less equal footing in both the animal realm and the spiritual world. Key features of snake symbolism in traditional Eastern Africa are then examined in detail, especially phantasmagorical snakes, the rainbow serpent, snake-totems, and snake-related witches and ritual leaders, among others. In Eastern Africa, the meanings attributed to snakes were multifaceted and paradoxical. Overall, the two volumes of this publication show that African snake symbolism broadly echoed the diverse representations of ancient civilisations. The widely acknowledged assimilation of snakes to death and Evil is therefore unrepresentative, both historically and culturally.

Book Description
The first Biblical prophecy in Genesis 3:15 simply reveals a salient truth: There is a spiritual hostility and conflict between the righteous and the devil, the ancient serpent. God wants us to engage the ancient serpent in a battle. He wants us to use the authority He has given to us to smash the serpent's head! Unfortunately, so many people of God are bound by demonic forces but do not know how to be free. The proliferation of python and snake spirits in this end time has resulted in an epidemic of people living in spiritual bondage. These python and snake spirits have an aggressive appetite for destinies to swallow! War Against Python And Snake Spirits is an attempt to address this problem using two powerful strategies: knowledge of how the enemy works and fighting them with acidic warfare prayers. Praying with knowledge of how the enemy operates gives a believer superior advantage over the enemy. As you pray with this book, you will see a great release of God's power as it blends the power of His Word with these two powerful strategies. The prayers in this book is a do-it-yourself kind of prayer, designed for you to see results. They are written to be simple, yet powerful. My dear, you can't wait to hunt down those python and snake spirits coiling and squeezing your life and family. Enough of that intimidation! Pick this Book and let's go-a-hunting!

In Animal Spirit Guides, Dr. Farmer provides concise, relevant details about the significance of more than 200 animals that may come to you in physical or symbolic form as guides and teachers. With each animal listed, you’ll find general meanings of the visitation; practical ways that they can help you as spirit guides; and how, as your power animal, they reflect characteristics that you possess. You’ll also find a "whom-to-call-on" section that will tell you which animal spirit guide to call on for any specific purpose.
