Serpents of God

The little book with a big story to tell.

Before Eden, the war in Heaven, and The Fall, there was a Thought. From that Thought gushed a universe of infinite possibilities. A difficult, wondrous, mind-bending universe. This is the story of the creation of that universe. This is the story of Good and Evil and why one could never exist without the other. This is the ultimate origin story; a story that we believed we knew. We were wrong.

Serpents of God is based on The First Book of Interruption by Dewa Gero (Transcribed by JC Hanna). It is the story of the time before the Garden of Eden. It is the story of why this universe of matter was brought into being, and it is the story of why a benevolent God would allow suffering and evil into His paradise. There was always a plan, and for reasons yet to be explained, Dewa Gero was given a glimpse of that plan.

What do we know about Dewa Gero? He lived a very long time ago, somewhere in the Middle East, and, as these things go, he died, also in the Middle East. Probably. He was a thinker and a scribe, and he held council with many of early history’s most powerful and influential rulers. So, why haven’t you heard of Dewa Gero? Why do we know the names of the great leaders of antiquity and their advisers and yet nothing of the once great Gero? After all, his wisdom was legendary, his insight was beyond compare, and his ability to bring meaning to the past, and guidance to future planning, was simply spellbinding. Some believe his name was erased from history, as far as a comprehensive erasure is ever possible, due to the brilliance of his intellect. Great rulers and their wise men are never fully at ease with intellectual excellence; not when it’s writ large in others. Being told what to do, or worse still, being told, I told you so when things go wrong, can only ever be tolerated for so long.

In short, the sketchy oral traditions that whisper the name Gero, and the fragments of ancient clay tablets that nod in his direction, are few and far between. Where names such as Plato, Socrates, Hermes Trismegistus, Francis Bacon and Freud will live on as long as people live on, Gero will always remain in large part lost to us, and when you read the following words, you will understand why. And precisely what was interrupted in his great Books of Interruption? Everything you thought you knew about everything.

Brilliant as Giro undoubtedly was, he was painfully unaware of self, and that utter lack of self-awareness was his downfall—he was an insufferable know-all, and nobody, be they great or small, likes a wiseacre. The only reason I have bothered transcribing his words at all is, as I hope you will come to understand, an excellent one—Giro was right. About everything. Know-all.

The story continues this August!
