Both these missions occurred at two different periods in Karmakate’s life and both men were out to find it out of…

Chapter One Universal Serpent Power The Snake has always been my totem. The Snake is my muse in dance and is intimately connected with my own personal and spiritual journey. Serpent energy connects me to the consciousness of the Earth, as well as the none-physical realms.
