“Well written, comprehensive, represents a tremendous amount of research, and fascinating … To me the most valuable contributions of your book are the descriptions of the archetype in the diverse pre-modern civilizations. You have done your homework, and that alone makes the book of considerable interest and historical value.”

"It's fabulous, . . . well written, well put together, and beautiful."
"I was astonished by the scope and depth of both your research and your theoretical ideas. I love your writing style. It is clear, concise and uses the English language beautifully. I found your whole thesis extremely intriguing and thought-provoking. It has altered my frame of reference regarding both the historical periods that you write about, and also regarding the currents that flow through humanity to the present day."
"Provides, for the first time, a simple and powerful key to world mythology."
"One cannot go back to Genesis 3 and the tree in the Garden of Eden innocently after this book, as our heads will be filled with a vast range of new images and insights."
