Summary
"In search of the Southern serpent" sees Hamish Miller, Scottish blacksmith, dowser and author, and Barry Brailsford, historian and author, combine their unique talents to create a unique book. "In search of the Southern serpent" is a journey into the power of place. Here the western mind of the pagan, the priest and the scientist encounter the Maori lore of the shamanic mind. And they do not collide - instead they gently touch to open doors of many kinds. They take us beyond our five senses.
