Zarathustra is the prophet of the Church of the Serpent. He himself was distinctly serpentine. Nietzsche is one of the snake philosophers. He has venom towards the weak and the meek. He has the fierce bite of knowledge. We all need the Serpent’s Kiss if we wish to become enlightened. You must poison your old self if you wish to find your new self, your higher self. Your old views are poisonous. Poison must meet poison. The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge
