The Book of Snake is based upon sixty shamanic meditations as well as a lifetime of dreams and real encounters with snakes at numinous moments in Andrea’s life. With Snake as her guide in the timeless imaginal realms, Andrea learns the etiquette of relating to a creature whose reputation ranges from fearful repulsion to reverential respect. The insights she gains in these meditations are both intensely personal and highly pertinent to our times. Their dialogue through these remarkable adventures explores the deepest interiority of the body and the mysteries of the cosmos.

Andrea Mathieson has been a writer, musician and intuitive counsellor for twenty-five years. Facilitating in-depth webinars, circles and private retreats for women, her deep listening skills within the imaginal realms provide critical wisdom for our times.

Andrea Mathieson has written a deliciously sensual, imaginal book. The body itself becomes the intimate reader, sensing along the way, the true deep nature of the creating wrought by Eros from below. Through tactile listening we come into union with the deepest aspects of the soul revealed through the body by Snake. What he does when invited to awaken the imaginal-real body alters forever how life occurs. Robert Sardello, Ph.D.
