 Age of the feminine August 10, 2008
I was glued to this book. It answered many of my questions regarding the energy shifts that I have been experiencing. This is a must read for those people that are wondering what the future really holds for the year 2012. Thank you, Drunvalo Melchizedek, for this book!

"All is Well"...gave me hope August 5, 2008
I have followed Drunvalo's books for many years, and my respect for him has increased during that time. I have a friend who has met him through "Flower of Life" work and she confirmed my sense that he is of high integrity and VERY heartfelt.
With this as my context for his veracity, I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Serpents of Light." I didn't buy it right away because of other reviews stating it was basically a travelogue, with no new information.
It IS a narrative telling of Drunvalo's participation over the past couple of decades in working with native peoples at worldwide sacred sites, but I found the PROCESS described as being most valuable. It will also greatly enhance my future visits to Yucatan sites, coming from an angle (revealed knowledge) not usually found in guidebooks.
Mostly, I am most heartened and relieved to learn/know that the TRUE people (indigenous shamans/healers/leaders) are truly "tuned-in" psychically to what is happening on the planet, have a framework for understanding/working with it all, and have their eye on who (Drunvalo, among others) is doing the work. The fact that they seemed to just "show up," at his ceremonies, time after time, providing critical information or energy, often having come from other continents because "their information" was this was the time/place to be and participate, left me with a much needed sense of peace that "all is well" and the right people are watching psychically and helping to birth the changes that are foretold.
Worth the read. I also enjoyed his info on multiple numbers (11:11, 222, 333, etc...)
 Great storyteller...very poor historian!!! July 25, 2008

I'm only a little over half way through this book, and I've already run across some errors that set my teeth on edge. One glaring example is a comment on page 130 that the Anasazi were being threatened by the Spanish conquistadores, hastening their decision to abandon the Four Corners region. Then, on page 133, the author states that the Anasazi existed until about 1300 A.D. Hmmm. Unless the conquistadores landed a lot earlier than recorded history tells us (the first conquistadore, Cristobal Colon,wasn't born until the middle 15th century), we have a little timeline issue here. Maybe Drunvalo's angels know something we don't?
And what's the great mystery surrounding the placement of those all-important crystals? Why make a mortal man find the exact location that the crystals are to be placed, using only his heart? A man who might second-guess himself and make a terrible mistake, landing all of humanity in a real pickle? Is this a wise course of action? And why use the fate of humankind as a test to see whether a mortal man is psychic enough for the job? Seems a pretty inefficient way of getting us to the next level! Not that I would question the actions of the gods, I'm just sayin'...
Now on a nicer note, the author is really a wonderful storyteller. Yes, it does seem like there was a lot of trudging through the jungle, mile after mile. But the story flows nicely, and there is no doubt that he has spent a great deal of time in the presence of some wonderfully enlightened people. I get the feeling that there is a whole lot of reading-between-the-lines to be done here. A feeling that we are being given a key to a secret so astounding that when we do finally comprehend what Drunvalo barely understands himself, we will be blown away. Would I buy this book again? Absolutely. But please, Drunvalo, check your historical facts a little bit better on the next book, or at least let me be your editor!
 Disappointed and Unenlightened... July 18, 2008

As a Truth Seeker, especially with Native American Wisdom, I was disappointed. I expected to be better convinced, but felt I was on more of a hippie tour of Sacred areas. I am convinced the author has found a way of financing expensive trips around the world... I guess I have joined the financiers. I expected much more, than just male to female conversion provided by dropping crystals down holes, while experiencing sexual erotics. I did not find anything, that I would seriously consider incorporating into my belief system. I continue to have a open mind, but not to the point of infection! My conclusion is, that this is another attempt to capitalize on the 2012 gravy train interest. I do think there is great truth in the author's claim of being an ardent hippie in the 60's. It appears the 60's were very good to him. However, I still refuse to use recreational drugs!!!
Earth's great shift July 7, 2008

Drunvalo's chronicled life as a volunteer in service to Mother Earth seems more like a fantasy or science fiction story, than real life...except for one's inner sense that these places exist, and the events really happened. Each adventure adds a unique piece to the story, while also teaching a different way to perceive the world...for those with ears to hear.
His best writing by far, destined to receive mention in National BEST BOOKS 2008 Awards, SERPENT OF LIGHT is as compelling a read as Jonette Crowley's THE EAGLE AND THE CONDOR is, and the events noted in each support the greater story of which both writers have played seminal parts.
Compelling writing; immensely significant information; plants seeds for the opening of the Heart Center; you may even receive a transmission or six.
