Description
Edward Sellon's 'Ophiolatreia' is a provocative and controversial exploration of ancient serpent worship, delving into the religious practices and rituals surrounding the ophiolatry. Written in a sensationalistic and at times scandalous style, Sellon's book sheds light on a little-known but fascinating aspect of ancient religions, providing a mix of historical research and speculative interpretations. Despite its scholarly flaws, the book offers a unique perspective on a marginalized topic, making it a compelling read for those interested in esoteric religious studies of the 19th century. Edward Sellon, a British writer and translator known for his erotic works, demonstrates a curiosity for taboo subjects and a penchant for pushing boundaries, which likely influenced his decision to delve into the mysterious world of serpent worship. Sellon's unconventional background and interests add an intriguing layer to his exploration of ophiolatry in 'Ophiolatreia'. I recommend 'Ophiolatreia' to readers interested in unconventional religious practices and esoteric traditions. While approaching Sellon's work with a critical eye, one can appreciate the book's contribution to the study of ancient beliefs and its ability to spark thought-provoking discussions on the role of serpents in religious symbolism.
