Description

Set at the time of the witch-burnings in Southern Italy, the land of the Black Madonna, The Serpent's Tale follows a rural village's fight to save its wisewoman from the fires of the Inquisition. An allegorical novel, The Serpent's Tale explores the Greek Myth of Demeter and Persephone, and later Gnostic Myth of Sophia, inspired by the author's autobiographical experience of nursing her daughter Sophia through 12 operations, which led them repeatedly on the Sophianic Descent and Ascent of the Soul. Through a matryoshka set of three storytellers, the reader is guided on an inspiring journey of Soul alchemy rooted in ancient mythology, Gnosticism and the wisdom of the Black Goddess Sophia.
