The Sword & The Serpent

A Magickal Journey

The Sword & the Serpent is the record of a series of astral journeys taken by the magician AnkhafnaKhonsu in 1996. These travels explore the Paths of the Serpent as they ascend the Qaballistic Tree of Life revealing the esoteric secrets of the Sepher Yetzirah, the ancient Book of Formation.

Esoteric Secrets of Occult Symbolism

The Sword & the Serpent follows the progress of AnkhafnaKhonsu as he ascends through the astral planes that correspond to the Trumps of the Tarot and communicates with the spiritual entities that exist upon them to reveal the hidden natures of these powerful occult symbols. The journeys collectively represent the entire path of initiation into the mysteries of Hermetic Magick.

Angels & Demons of the Astral Planes

The series of visions recorded in The Sword & the Serpent present a succession of adventures taken by AnkhafnaKhonsu as he negotiates his way past the many obstacles relying on his knowledge of the Holy Qaballah and Magick. Along the way we are introduced to the many bizarre, beautiful and often horrendous inhabitants of these astral planes who reveal the innermost secrets of their realms to the magician.
