The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge Quotes

“Who needs an external God? No one in the Church of the Serpent does. Two can play the Expulsion Game. If God expels us from his Eden, we can expel him from our Eden, because we ourselves are now gods. The Olympian gods replaced the older generation of gods, the Titans. The old gods are always replaced. The Biblical God, too, must be replaced.”

“Welcome to the Church of the Serpent. The universe is the Tree of Knowledge. At the top of the tree is the Golden Bough with which we attain Golden Knowledge, the Apex Knowledge of the cosmos. So, we must climb. All the way to the highest consciousness. The Church of the Serpent is devoted to knowledge – ultimate knowledge, the knowledge of existence itself. We must have Absolute Knowledge. Nothing else will suffice. Completion, or nothing. From the top of the Tree of Knowledge, we shall command all knowledge. Like Faust, we will make a pact with any force to reach our goal. Like Prometheus, we will steal from the gods and risk any punishment to secure our ends. Like the Cimmerians, we will travel from the deepest darkness, where the sun never shines, to the brightest light. Like the Hyperboreans, we seek the perfect land where the sun always shines, yet we Hyperborean Apollonians must be able to return to Dionysian Cimmeria to enjoy the intoxication of the dark.”
